i gave amma ('mom', for the non-urdu speakers) homework today before leaving home: reading 'twenty love poems and a song of despair'. mbwahaha. 'i want to do to you what spring does to the cherry trees'. i wonder what she's going to think of it :)i was getting ready today in the morning and the radio was playing vital signs' "gorey rang ka zamana". and it is by far THE most PUTRID song i have ever assailed my ears with! what is wrong with the lyrics? let's not even get into junaid jamshed's attempt to be playful and coming off totally sleazy, this song is just insane! in a nutshell: you're fair so you can get away with anything, so come on baby, light my fire :P hudd hogayi. what a slimeball song, i never really paid it much attention until today, and ufff. fully cheapness, blehhh! something inside me was singing 'kala sha kala' in defiant retaliation as i left the room *lol*
i would really adore some chocolate cake right now, with properly fudgy icing, not icing sugar-and-water-and-a-dash-of-cocoa kind of yucky icing. mmm, yes i would. and a mochaccino, a real one, in a yellow and orange mug. someone please save me from economics, i'll do anything- just get me away from this book forever!!!! i was dozing in the library over giffen goods and engel curves and hassan came by to attempt to scare the living daylights out of me but that doesn't work on semi-comatose people hahahaha but he don't know no econ neither so psshh. guess who's going to be pulling a nighter, then?
we're going to india next week Inshallah, our literature of conflict class is, to amritsar and jallunder. yay.
why am i still tired, always sleepy, this weather is perfect for lazing about! i want to spend allll dayyy outside in the grass with my books and the straw hat i bought in murree when i was eleven and still have for some odd reason, given that amma is fully against packratty habits khekhekhe. but still. stupid formal education, i want to learn things sitting under trees, and not be stuck for four years doing all sorts of irrelevant doody. i petted the new lums kitty today, it's so cute, lies around in the middle of the sidewalk like it owned it. i wonder what amma would say if i cat-napped it, i miss having a pet. goldie and i had some fun times.
time for politicaleconomyofunderdevelopment.
