While I admit that I don't post as much anymore, look on the bright side! I'm averaging an entry a month, so at least I'm totally regular, right? I mean, look at it this way: If a month went by, and I didn't post, that could only mean that your journal was pregnant, and really, nobody is ever ready for that sort of thing. I mean, I suppose there are people that can handle multiple blogs at once, but I've always been a one blog kind of guy. I tried two, but it failed. Terribly. Guess I suck at multitasking.

Since this is my first post of the New Year, Happy 2008! Now, a lot of you are probably going, "Huh? What do you mean, Abilash? It's been 2008 for weeks now!". That makes sense. You'd be correct if you weren't wrong.

The way I see it, the New Year hasn't really arrived until I stop writing "2007" in the year column on just about everything. I'm actually pretty terrible about that sort of thing. Sometimes, I'll even go backwards in time, forwards in space, and sideways in line, just because this whole year change stuff is really super confusing. So, a couple of days after the New Year, you'll see me putting down things like, "2007", "3385", "purple", "Megaclite", and "1999". You know, if I had it my way, every year would be 1999. With so many nines in there, you can't possibly go wrong. Don't you dare argue with me on this. ♥

Anyway, since the New Year is a wonderful excuse to try new things, I celebrated this opportunity by squandering it completely for the first few bits of 2008. What can I say? Between school and work, my brains are a soft, pulpy goo. Mmm. Delicious.

Not content with simply being delicious however, I decided to try something new all the same. I mean, I'd tried plenty of new things in 2007, so I figured I'd keep this awesome trend going. I celebrated this decision by going to see Russell Peters at the Tempe Improve this Sunday. See, I'd never been to a stand-up show before, so being able to go with a supa awesome entourage (consisting of the_n_channel, his friend Siddhi, my sister, her boyfriend, and the always wonderful melypunch), essentially guaranteed it would be a wonderful night.

Needless to say, I was pretty blown away. I didn't care much for two out of the four comedians that performed, but both Russell and his friend Yoshi were fantastic. I only wish the show had gone on for longer.

Speaking of fantastic things, I also had a chance to go see Juno. Since I'd had no prior intention of going to see the movie, I suppose I have to give the_n_channel his due: the movie was as wonderful as it was refreshing and funny. If you haven't had a chance to go see it yet, I'd highly recommend it. ♥

Hm...I think that about covers it for now, so I should probably get going! See you in a month! Or two. Or three. Or...
