Good Morning, mates.
That’s a dog whose name escapes me. But he’s sleepy, and I just woke up from a nap so I’m gonna have a rapid fire sort of email this week and rattle off whatever I have on my sleep deprived brain.
Sleep deprived because I woke up early today for the valedictory of my International Relations course. For which, I ordered 50 Veg And 40 Chicken Burger King Crispy Combos for the History Association of Jai Hind college. Here’s the beautiful 6 feet 4 inches bill that came with it.
Pictured alongside my parents’ book wardrobe, which is 7.5 feet till that beam that’s jutting out. Glorious, simply glorious. That bill just made this email blast legendary.
Speaking of blasts, I wanna warn you against using Samsung’s Note 7 phones. A hundred odd Note 7s exploded over the last few weeks, and Samsung issued a recall of all 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s it sold. That’s what happens when you stretch a lithium ion battery to its limits. Just don’t buy a Note 7, which is a pity because it seemed like a great phone. Too bad its battery explodes spontaneously.
Also, this week I updated my phone and iPad to iOS 10. Notifications are better, but more importantly, you can send stickers and gifs via iMessage. Or send handwritten texts or send regular texts with a tonne of bells and whistles. It’s fun. I’ve started enjoying replying to texts now.
Yesterday was the Autumnal equinox, meaning autumn’s here. Not in Bombay, obviously, but in temperate zones of the northern hemisphere. Autumn’s called Fall in the US, because ‘leaf fall’, apparently. Never mind that. My favourite TV shows return this fall. Modern Family’s eighth season started yesterday, but I couldn’t see it on Star World Première for some reason. I hope I can see The Simpsons’ 28th season and the now crumbling Big Bang Theory’s tenth and hopefully final season. They both start next week.
So, enjoy your Autumn, even though it’s raining pretty bad right now. Good thing you can stay home and watch TV.
Tis, mate was the Weekly Email Blast, email 79. Happy weekend !!!
