Snazzy Surveys 1 #

Here is the result of a survey conducted by sacredsprites on Omegle.

The question asked to a selected number of users of the website was:

What according to you is the colour of Sunday?

The result shows that an overwhelming majority of people felt Sundays were most definitely Blue in colour.

A complete list is provided along with the chart to show what the other possible colours of Sunday could be.

    Blue = 35 %

  Yellow = 15 %

Green = 5 %

     Red = 10 %

  White = 15 %

Purple = 5 %

Black = 10 %

Pink = 5 %

Sea Of Poppies----Cast list

Ed.Note>  Here's a possible list of actors for Amitav Ghosh's 'potential blockbuster'...Sea Of Poppies, the first of the Ibis Trilogy. The novel has too many characters for a complete and detailed list of actors. This is a tentative list consisting of only those characters that took our fancy and remained etched on our collective memory. There are three lists of actors. That was done to avoid damaging the furniture  conflict. Any suggestions on the part of our readers would be fought over much appreciated so do make full use of the comments section.

Browsing the personals!

This post was made on 11th Dec, 2009 in another blog . However, I think it deserves to be included here, if only for the sheer brilliance and utter zaniness of the item in question.
This is an ad sacredsprites spotted in the company of her mates. It appeared in the classifieds.

"Recently de-coupled young man who considers online dating too crass and soliciting the attention of strangers in bars too unpredictable attempts bourgeois solution to loneliness. Seedy nights of contradiction conducted with a scholarly tome and a can of Special Brew guaranteed. Shiftless scholar, 27, some rough edges, S. Yorks, awaits his Nora Barnacle."

If this is felt to be against the tenor of this blog, the post will be promptly removed.
What say you dryad ??

SLAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM!

Result of late night chats between madgirl and sacredsprites



O, my head feels so heavy
and my brain is so numb.
I cannot answer in class
and the teacher thinks I'm dumb.

O, I slept but only 10 hours last night,
and I ate but only twenny plates o'rice.
O, my brain craves for food and rest
and that my friends, is my lil' vice.

Sir, I know you are teaching well,
But the guy next to me is starting to smell!
The AC is sending shivers down my spine,
Menander, I feel, is way past his prime!!

O sir,I'm afraid you are wasting your time

For to Menander I don't give a dime.

I has me word!

A dash of salt
A little vinegar
A slice of tomato
A hint of sugar
Cool lemonade sloshes inside my soul
Let the flavours soak in and make me whole!
A word aside to our heavenly Mother
Patroness of food and protector of the liver
Let no mortal say, 'no more no more'
We might grow fat but out with such bores!
Who ever grew fat on cakes and meat loafs??
Eat well, make merry and exercise..loads!
This poem might not be a masterpiece
Well, dryad my mate, what do you make of this?!
