It had to happen sometime and it happened last night. There's only so much a human being can take don't you think - So, I resolutely said a vehement No to CNN. No more CNN. CNN shall be CN No more (You are supposed to read it as SeeN No more!). Anyway that leaves me with an option of seeing all these talk shows in german where people laugh for apparently no reason. I tried synching my laugh with them kind of predicting when it is going to occur. But after sometime, it's not funny any more.

So, I switch to Plan B. Watching hollywood movies in German. Now I have to tell you that my parents have always felt that I am good at mind reading. I really didn't believe in it till yesterday. But I realized I could really read the minds of the actors when they are on screen and could understand the plot. Sometimes, I realized they are really dumb and are not thinking ANYTHING when they are doing the scene. In such cases, I resorted to lip reading which is the level 2 (I am waiting for a dumb Angelina Jolie movie now!) and there are times, when I just mute the TV and watch the act :) The bottom line is I realized you understand a hollywood movie anyway!

The ads in between tell me they screen friends every dienstag. So first I have to find out what dienstag is and secondly, make it on time to my apartment. Friends is easy because I remember almost all the lines. So, I would actually be watching the show, doing the talking AND the laughing! Isn't that exciting. And if you were there with me then, it will be treat for your eyes AND your ears!!

I know - My second book (the first one being Culinary algorithms for better performance) will be 101 stupid ways of whiling away time in No man's land!
