I Can't Think of a Title for this Post

"I will kill you so hard you will die to death."

My current favourite quote

I'm craving for something. I suddenly thought about it a couple of hours ago and even made a mental note to go out to the convenience store to get some. Right now, I simply can't remember what I was craving for. I keep thinking that it has something to do with marshmallows, but I'm sure that wasn't it because the store don't stock marshmallows.

What's worse; I'm still craving for it.

Have you any idea how torturing it is to crave for something you can't even remember?

Okay, here's a few words about my new header. I wanted to do this in my last post, but I wasn't in the mood.

Last week, the image of someone sitting astride a syringe with the line "Ride the high" (Syringe? Ride? High? Drugs? Geddit? What do you mean it's not funny?) suddenly popped into my mind for no good reason during a lecture class on dengue and yellow fever. That somehow got lodged inextricably in one of the narrower pipes in my brain. Then (also for no good reason), I dared myself to make a header with that theme.

I already have most of the resources I need lying around in my huge, sprawling 'Photos' folder with the exception of one with a guy in a riding position (preferably wearing a lab coat). I tried searching my usual stock photo haunts but I could not locate even one that's remotely satisfactory. So I did the unthinkable;

I camwhored for it.

If you're a regular here, you'd realise that the only photos I took of myself are simple, straightforward mugshots for my blogger profile page. I consider posing in silly positions to be beneath me (yes, I'm a duffer, so bite my nose off). Unfortunately, once I set my mind onto completing something... Well, let's just say those moments I spent self-timering with my camera were thoroughly unpleasant. I felt mortified the whole time I was doing it.

The reason I put an XD in the place of my face was because I looked so sheepish and embarrassed in the picture.

While making the header, I realised that the background image needed a frame, and finding no suitable ones on the net, I drew it myself in from scratch using Photoshop (CS2 - I know I'm outdated) in ten minutes. That's why it looks so shoddy.

Putting everything together was a cinch and the result left me with mixed feelings. The first thought that came to my mind was, "This is so not me." To be perfectly honest with you guys, I don't like it one single bit. It's too random. Too cheerful. Too idiotic. I nearly binned it on the spot. That's why I started the poll in my previous post (I would have gone on with the new one otherwise). I was just wondering if my readers would like it more than I did.

I thought that my allusion to "losing my mind" would be a dead give-away that the header disagreed with my sensibility and taste.

The poll is still on, by the way. Nope.

Note: The place in the background scenery is the Manipal Greens. It's where my university hold fairs, cultural shows and similar festive nonsense.

At the moment, I'm addicted to the Cyanide and Happiness comic strips drawn by this deviantARTist, kris-wilson. You can find the whole collection this comic series from Explosm.net, jointly contributed by other artists as well but none of them matches up to kris' style and humour (in my opinion). The quote-o-the-post at the top came from one of his strips.

Here's the link to kris' deviantART page and archive; CLICK ME HARD.

For some strange, disturbing reason, his brand of humor reminds me of Calvin and Hobbes. It was a sad day when Bill Watterson retired from drawing them. There simply isn't enough Calvin to go around in this world.

I'd know. I've read each and every Calvin and Hobbes strip in existence.

Oh, by the way, I finally remember what I was craving for. It's chocolates. I haven't had some in months.

I'm going out to get some now.

Err, bye?



Got chocolates?
