Much Ado about Nothing

All of the "nothings" in the past week that I'm making a fuss about...

1. The saga of finding an apt-mate. OMG tiresome! Its either a girl who would rather stay in her cousin's place, or a girl that likes the apt but her dad doesn't, or a girl who wants to move in tommorrow (while the apt is available at the end of the month), or another who is thinking twice about moving 'cos the apt is in the third floor, or another who likes the place but can't afford the rent and so would like find another person! And every single time, you haveta clean the apt and take time off to be in the house for people that might even show up an hour and a half later than the specified time on a weekday afternoon!

2. And while you run around taking care of rapidly breeding animals and your apt needs, there will be that absolutely nosy can't-help-but-gossip-and-comment- coworker of yours that well.. can't help but gossip and comment about your absence from your supposed work-place. Annoying to the very end. And well.. quite like me to be actually bothered and lose my sleep (on a saturday morning) over the silly lady's comment!
Ah women I tell you!

3. And then thankfully there will be some women who can help revive your spirits and make you feel good in a few minutes time.. like say Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and the one Nora Ephron, with movies about women that revive their lives and spirits by cooking. Not that I'm a huge fan of cooking.. (although I definitely am impressed and inspired by Julie & Julia's cook-to-beat-stress attitude!).. but the movie motivates people like me to try achieve Something in the blogging world! (wrong reason huh? but well the movie does inspire you to have a short-term goal and achieve it!!)

4. So finally when its time to spend my precious saturday night doing something fruitful (like blogging)...I end up trying to figure out new templates for my blog site.. only to end up getting confused about html and xml codes and finding no template that actually matches my requirement and so I stick on to my silly old template! But the amount of time spent on it = 3.5 hours, in which time anyone could have even generated their own template from scratch.. while all I had to do was modify some pre-exisiting templates to insert some widgets! Talk about having a million ways to squander time!
