Berkeley Diary 5th Nov

Hi all,

Today I was supposed to wake up earlly and do laundary, wash hair, read for test etc...Of that I managed to do only one thing - laundary...

Some how wasted time till 2 pm and reached college at around 2.30. There outside McLaughlin (my department)..on the grass I saw this guy playing with his radio controlled glider. I asked him about it..and he landed it and allowwed me to fiddle it with it. After a while he got a telephone call..and he handed me the radio controls...I would nt mind flying the damned thing other than that I was afraid I would lose control of it and then he would kill me. I held on for sometime and left it with him...Should have flown the thing..U either launch it using a sling shot or just hurl it and it can glide for ever.....depends on how you control it...

Got to my place (407) and checked mail..I totally somehow, despite all the pending work, had a feeling that I would not get an ounce of work done today. After that I found that my computer had Winamp installed in it. (I had asked him last week to install it so that I could learn Chinese!!) but apparently it is already installed (only no icon!!)... Was happy that I could play songs..thoguht I must buy myself headphones..

Ran off to the nearest music store...saw headphones..the cheapest one was 8$ !!...THought jaane do...than began looking for CD's .. I was looking for the Billboard casseste that we had..(Can u find out which year that cassette is..Billboard Hits of which year)..I asked a girl there where i could find Billboard CD's ...she asked me if i wanted used or new..

I then ventureed into the old Cd area..here all CD;s for 2.95..and if u buy 5 or more then for 2$...!! I ended up spending over 3 hours there searching for good CD's..Ended up buying 6....Michael Bolton..time love and tenderness...Phill Collins...Amy Grant...Billy Joel...and Roy Obirson...THere were loads of them..and I was crazy.

THere was another system that I loved...Take any CD...to the barcode reader cum computer listening post..and it will play u the songs in that CD. I loved this concept...

Finally ended up buying the Panasonic 8$ earphhne...THe Sony one (which oils around the ear was 11$)..

I was ecstatic that i got the song "She's a Myster" - Roy Obirson...am listening to them now..

However..No work..

Bye for now,

Tarun
