I saw Prophecies Foretold: The Anti Christ" on the History Channel today. For 2 hours. It was boring. 2 hours. Was I out of my mind? I switched between that and The O.C and Monster Houses. Bleagh. Why is there nothing interesting on TV?

I went to Chilika yesterday with 5 other people. It was a lot of fun, especially since we just lazed around. I hate it when we go some place and people insist on doing something or 'the trip would have been a waste'. I especially hate it when people tell me that I could have 'lazed around at home. Why did you come on the trip?'. For the change in scenery, dumbass.

Anyway, it was fun. We left way too early in the morning and suffered through horrible roads. It was a very hot day. We took a boat and went to a kali temple on an island. B chased poultry. He stopped when some body said, "You are chasing a cock! Ha ha ha". I think this bird flu and lack of chicken has made some people slightly deranged. We then went to Gopalpur beach. It was beautiful but very very very hot. We were on the beach for 3 hours and then we went to an OTDC hotel.

SOmeone told us it was near the beach, so we walked. And walked and walked and walked. It is horrible to walk in the sun when you are tired and hungry and thirsty and sweaty. It was a long walk. We walked down a hot, stinky road; past tired dogs and broken down houses; past a very inviting, expensive looking hotel, down a narrow path with a great view of the bloody sun and into a very white hotel. It was very white. It was so white, it was difficult to look directly at it in the sunlight. Gleaming white. Like those clothes they show in detergent ads and teeth in toothpast ads. Sparkling white. Ujalavukku mariten.

We staggered in, ordered food, went to the room, washed and collapsed on the bed. We watched a few minutes of a hindi soap on TV and then the food came. Either food was awesome or we were starved. We ate well. And then played cards for 3 hours. D got chased by a couple of dogs. It was hilarious to watched him prance around with those two small dogs jumping up at him. We watched from the balcony and laughed at him. Mean, I know, but it was funny. Finally B had to go and rescue him. We then went back home. I slept all the way, as soon as the others stopped antakshari. I never really liked that game.

A good day.
