Yeah, so it has been an eventful yesterday &#8211; my luggage got misplaced somewhere in the bowels of Heathrow airport, so I have now added to that particular statistic. I am less annoyed about this than I should be, I suppose. The law of averages was [...]]]></description>

I can be the black hole of negativity into which all things positive are sucked in, never to return (much like the dryer and my socks, I [...]]]></description>

Never mind that I shopped in a supermarket nearly 300 miles away &#8211; within a few minutes, I was on shopping autopilot &#8211; throwing things into the cart without [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, actually &#8211; I cannot, but go look anyway. Worldmapper provides maps of the world with sizes relative to various criteria; most of them arcane.
Endlessly fascinating if your interests include geography and a bit of statistics.
In other news, I seem to have more or less lost my self in activities outside the internet since I [...]]]></description>

To some extent, this is true. There are lots of vegetarian restaurants. In fact, in the unlikely event that I wanted to become a rabbit food eater myself; there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, why am I away from Colombo? Because the client that I&#8217;m meeting thought that Sri Lanka was too dangerous to visit. In retrospect, I don&#8217;t blame the client. Random bus bombings tend to make anyone nervous, hell they make me nervous.
Which makes the news of a serial killer in the vicinity of the hotel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As hinted earlier, I&#8217;ve been shunted to that large country up north. Having spent approximately a week here, I&#8217;m now qualified to make the following observations.

Conference rooms across the world look pretty similar
The streets (as seen from the interior of a thankfully airconditioned vehicle) look pretty darn dusty.
These Chennai drivers are completely and utterly insane [...]]]></description>

As is usual, people have a wide spectrum of reactions to being sent onsite.

		<description><![CDATA[The general state of the universe, I vaguely recall, is of increasing entropy &#8211; that is to say that things usually get worse.
So how does one begin to explain the fact that private bus conductors in SL (notoriously some of the sharpest operators around) have actually started giving back more change than they should? At [...]]]></description>

I forgot that some roads are now one-way (a lifetime of habit on familiar streets) and ended up looking in the wrong direction for oncoming traffic.
