So i am back. In the blogworld.

Things that have been happening:

At Work:
am kinda sorta working remote in sunny elsewherefromhere place now.
Everytime I think of my job, that line from a forgotten movie comes to mind: "everytime I think i'm out, they pull me right back in"
One minute, I am busy scouring the internet for jobs, and sending out feelers to everybody around me that I am unhappy, next minute, oldbossman and oldbigbossman go out of their way to show support and open up avenues where I can expand.
And yes, the idea of them looking out for me warms the cockles of my heart and all that.
But really, I am still unhappy and still looking but now there's the guilt of letting down people who go out of their way to accommodate you added to it.
Geez.

With Boy:
On the plus side of the whole working remote thing, the boy and I have been spending immense and oodles of time together.
Frack all naysayers - there is nothing quite as joyous as being/living/cuddling/ together with the boy.
During the long weekend:

• we walked on the beach in the twilight hours (very soapy movies style), where the boy talked endlessly about tsunamis (very non-soapy movies style)
• made turkish poached chicken (which I didn't particularly like but the boy did)
• chocolate fondue (which the boy was disappointed in because it tasted too much chocolately - ??!!!)
• entertained his friends for a fondue dinner (where we tried a combination of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips - which the boy liked and I abstained from because chocolate twice during weekend is not doing any good for the added-because-of-varied-alleged-and-otherwise-depression-fat pockets I have been accumulating)
• went for combined workouts to the gym which was a total disaster because we bickered like crazy about the need of carrying a work-out towel (I say not, he says yes and on and on we went from the elipitical to the stairmaster to the weights) Gawd - there is a such a thing as too much bloody togetherness
  
• and promises to try a clam recipe for which we went hunting for rock salt, but eventually got tired of looking for and just ended watching BeerFest on HD, which for some ridiculous reason made me laugh and laugh. How can you not for a movie which has the Chandrashekar/Badrinath lean in with his tight multi-coloured outfit to say: "1 dollar to watch me touch it while touching my toe".
  

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
