Walk All Alone

The last two days have been good fun. I walked a lot, and by a lot, I really mean a lot. I am at my sister's place in Mundelein these days, and since she goes to work every morning, I sit at home - practically doing nothing. So every morning I take the 8:30 train to Chicago and roam around on the streets. Walking around all alone is an amazing feeling. It's deja vu more or less, because I have done this a lot in Delhi too. Shedd was good fun (thanks Abhilasha and gang), and so was Navy Pier. Now this is worth mentioning - for the first time in my life I walked around on the streets with a you know what?? A map.

Watched a video on google videos thatshowed the Mandelbrot set being zoomed at 100 billion X. A few snapshots from wikipedia of what really Mandelbrot set looks like:

Watched a story on TV today..about Koyel and Bijoy..can you imagine? On American TV?? Diversity is indeed a big thing here :)...

Got to do what I am really good at doing :)

Ah! It's time to hit the gamepad again..if this semester ends on a really good note. Have been playing 3 PC games since the beginning of this semester, without absolute focus on any, though.

Started preparing for the fall break today. Went to the library and brought some DVDs and comics. Time to appreciate whatever Batman did to Gotham City, or rather "for"...lol!

Coming back to games - got to finish the games I am playing before my 3D card becomes obsolete.
