After revamping my blog, I tried to write a meaningful and deep post -- FAIL. Did not work. Pleased as I am with the casually abstract and slightly winsome look my blog now has (not contrived at all), I'm all out when it comes to the written word. So, here I share what's occupying me as I sit, sick, in the middle of this balmy, mosquito-infected Colombo night:
1. Reading this. Discovered on one of those late, not-doing-much-here-boss nights at work. Turns out Gaius Vallerius Cattulus was an ancient Roman orator, philosopher and poet. Tidbits of knowledge like that always make me feel hopelessly ignorant of everything else I do not know.

2. Also skimming through this. Found through a friend's Facebook post, and I must say, it seems sensible.

3. Also reading Sophie's Choice. Brilliant and almost done with it!!
4. And finally, listening to this man -- nearest thing to chocolate that I can stomach right now. Ah...
