First work day of the year... NETFLIX is awesome

Well.. for me.. when I went to work first time for this year..... yesterday I was WFH.. recovering from sickness. Well.. most of you don't know (because I don't tell) that I was sick all last week, with cold & stuff. And going out on New Year's eve for the Ball Drop in Times Square didn't help (need to write more about it for sure, will do soon). So, I spent my weekend in bed being sick. But I did go to Patel Brothers store in Jackson Heights, Queens and bought LOT of frozen & ready to Eat Indian food... I have been eating out since I moved to NYC & need to change the habit to save money & health too... Might not be best option to eat this food.. but whatever.. who cooks in New York (mexicans, chinese, bangladeshis etc.. i meant the cooks at all those cheap food places).. well not me!!
I also watched Cloverfield on Blu ray... I got NETFLIX, its AWESOME... BTW, I also got a PS3 last week.. from Craigslist.. yeah.... Can you believe it.. the role Craigslist is playing in my/our lives. One of most used sites including Google & Wikipedia... but most direct impact.. umm.. should write a separate post about this.. yeah... So I got a PS3 from CL & Used it to Watch Cloverfield.. I liked Blu-Ray & liked the movie too... the hand-held motion style makes it very involving.. like you are there & watching a areal thing.. very nice special affects work & very good performance (by the Monster.. he was trying to hide very well.. very camera shy)... if you've missed it: make a point to watch the end scene where something falls from the sky when they show the old scene in video. I'll give it 7/10. Taht's it.. will try to write again soon.. Thanks & Happy New Year 2011 (believe me, I wrote HNY 2010 most of the places/messages.. cant believe its 2011)!!!!

Searching for a place to live in Virginia/DC

Its my 5th day in VA now & last day of the first week of year 2010. The next struggle is to find a place to live. Craigslist & sulekha.com is the place to do it, not like old days when we need to wander looking for "To-Let" signs (which we used to think of as Toilet, lol). I did it recently in Boston & managed to find a place somehow where I survived for a month.... I mean lived for a month. It was actually fair enough. had nice roommates, decent place, a bed of my own in a room of my own (living room actually, but designated to me. how cool is that!!). The days of corporate living are gone, where I had 1 or even 2 bedroom fully furnished apartments (I mean really furnished, with everything from bed, linens, drawers, sofas, TV, everything in kitchen... i mean just everything for a luxury housing) just for me. With latest corporate cars from corporate rental with gas (in US, petrol is called gas. As we kow that they like to do things different from rest of the world) paid as well. So those days are gone & the new days are on, Full-On!!
