Lake Tahoe 28/Jan/2012
Posted in Blogroll, Fun Time, Photos at 2:51 am by Liv
With my being in California, and Denis Lowe in my ear going on about Tahoe, it had to happen in the end: I took to Lake Tahoe this weekend and made my joined the ranks of snowboarders — snowboarding is awesome by the way! And Denis proved to be a pretty good teacher to be fair to him — though, granted, I still needed some lessons from an instructor as well
To be fair the trip proved quite costly — mainly as I had to eventually buy my kit (outrageous of them to only rent boots, snowboard and helmet!), so first trip prior to the trip saw me getting my jacket, thermal underwear, fleece, socks and so on, with the view of renting the trousers, visor and the rest there. So there goes $300! Only to get there and find out that I had to fork out another $300 on equipment as the rental only included the 3 items above. And then of course there’s another $130 on day pass, instructor training, and rentals. And to top it up, the night before we crossed the border to Nevada — sounds glorious, but it meant crossing one street and entering a casino, around 1am as everything in California was shutting down. Another $200! And we still have to pay Nikhil, who was a hero driving us there and back and sorting the accommodation for us — mate, you’re a legend!

Joke of the Day: Julius Caesar
Posted in Blogroll, Fun Time, Random Thoughts at 9:43 pm by Liv
Julius Caesar walks into a bar.
“I’ll have a Martinus” he asks the bartender.
The bartender looks at him puzzled: “Do you mean Martini???”
“Look”, says Julius Caesar pissed off, “if I wanted a double, I would have asked for it!”

Get Your Geek — Funny Advertising
Posted in Blogroll, Fun Time, Photos, Random Thoughts at 3:22 pm by Liv
I know that by posting this I am in fact providing free advertising to this site, which I saw advertised recently on the net, but had to share this screenshot as I thought it’s hilarious!
I heard previously of “specialized dating” — from married people seeking extra-marital affairs (ahem!) to “positive dating” (no comment) and rugby dating and the likes. But this one I thought went the extra mile — GEEK TO GEEK dating!!! I mean talk about creating an online community, this is it, right?
Trouble is, do they envisage that these people will meet? They’ll be the best of sending emails and such but…do they ever leave the house?

The Sad State of Banking
Posted in Blogroll, Fun Time, Random Thoughts at 2:33 pm by Liv
OK, I’ll give you the fact that this is a pretty bold title! I’m not going to talk about the state of banks per se though, why are they struggling in the current climate and/or falling over — I am simply going to talk about the way the banks employees feel about working there (I have touched on this subject before if you remember).
While maybe so far one might have thought the whole thing is based on just a personal feeling of mine, I’ve just been proved that this is not the case — hence this post!
For those of you who use WordPress/Wassup the screenshot below probably says everything, however, a bit of explanation for those of you who might not “get it” straight away. Read the rest of this entry »
