My Maiden Century...

Hey yaars,

No, this entry's title has no deep, thought-provoking meaning to it. It's simply a phrase used by cricket commentators (of the SPORT, not the insect!). I just hit my 100th post and am somewhat proud of myself. To celebrate, I've just poured myself a nice large glass of Coca-Cola (sorry, no Pepsi in our home's stock-room), and am savouring the taste just like that cartoon polar bear in the commercials!

Due to my intermittent periods of posting, I thought I'd throw out a few tid-bits that I think might interest/amuse a few of y'all:

- My mother's cousin is a well-known TV personality in Pakistan. I discovered this while watching some Pakistani satellite TV, hearing my mom shout "That's Rauf! I've finally seen him on TV!". Apparently, before she was married, she would go ride on the back of his motorcycle and go out with him all the time way back in Pakistan. And here I am, usually PETRIFIED when speaking to the opposite sex. What hypocritical parents!

- Saw Wedding Crashers and am just beginning to truly appreciate the comedic genius that is Vince Vaughn. I watched Swingers a few weeks back and only hope that Dodgeball is on the same level :P

- Apparently my brother may have had a girlfriend this year who he is know separated from (according to his blog posts I honoroubly snoop on!). The nimrod actually compares his situation to that of Clark Kent and Lana Lang from Smallville! If I didn't have to conceal that I'm reading his blog, I would have SOOO bitch-slapped him!

- I am SOOOO money and I don't even know it

- For some reason, the past week I've been falling asleep around 6 am, and waking up at 3 pm. I know this is very unhealthy, but it's just too hard to resist. My stupid circadian rhythms are all-messed up like Kramer!

- Currently I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde. I love his oxymoronic, yet truthful view on all topics, and have learned to appreciate the depth involved in being vain! Plus, quoting Wilde almost always makes you look intelligent in front of others

- Moment of the Week -
Sitting at Tim Horton's, enjoying my raspberry chocalate cheesecake whilst chilling with my family. Because my mom is there, I choose to speak in Urdu with everyone. Though she is very fluent in English, from childhood I've been encouraged to speak Urdu to "maintian my roots". The SECOND my mouth spews an Urdu word, the whole table next to us stares at me as if I'm an alien. They had NO idea we were Pakistani, telling us they had never seen Pakistani's so fair skinned. It was quite possibly the ONE time I couldn't use the "because I'm brown excuse".
