Today, for the first time in my life, I made a list of all the fake names of the senders of numerous spam mails to my work email. I like Karmandeep Finkel the best, so much so that I am using his/her name as a tag on this blog.

Today, for the first time in my life, I've been carrying a red card all day ready to book someone in anticipation of the Arsenal/Villareal soccer match. (I didn't have a red card so I used a red crayon to color the back of one of my business cards)
