In between I went over to him and tried to bond with him. He recognized me immediately as a member of the Dufresne team. His name is Simon Dougal. He was quite nice and sociable, and he told me how his father was Scottish and his mother was Irish. And that his accent was a mix of both. We then shared stories about our comedy experiences. I told him that I have over 15 GB of stand-up comedy video files on my hard drives.

He said that he’d participated in around 20 stand-up performances before deciding to shift to banking. I asked him if he’d helped in the production or writing of these shows. He told me that he’d actually performed on stage.

STUPID IDIOTIC MIXED BREED IMMIGRANT MULTI-TALENTED BASTARD!!!!

If you want to do comedy you should become a comedian no? How do you explain fucked up life priorities like Simon’s? I was quite disgusted but didn’t let any of this show on my face. He kept drinking beer while I drank ginger beer. But I acted as if my drink was bitter and strong.

When I left for the hotel Simon was still at the pub surrounded by three of the waitresses. They were all laughing continuously like mentally retarded people.

So all in all today was a day with ups and downs. LLTLF seems like a nice way to make friends, get close to Tom and make an impression on Emily. However I will have to keep an eye on Simon. He reminds me so much of Yetch and Rajni and Jenson and all the other Dufresne back-stabbers.

10.34 p.m.

Raveena refuses to go out of the mind. I just spent half an hour listening to clips of her speaking on YouTube.

All women should have a voice like her.

Or at least Gouri should.

11.15 p.m.

Ok I think I have a solution. I am going to download Mohra (full film) from the Internet, rip out only the audio, and then carry it on my iPod. That way I can listen to Raveena whenever I want to.

I know this sounds a little psycho. But I am going to think of this as my quirk. Like some people have sailing or cycling. Besides no one else will know.

11.23 p.m.

Download has started. Meanwhile Emily has sent a very long email. Too tired to read now. Good night.

No time to chat. Emergency review meeting with Dufresne team all day today. Will write in detail tomorrow.

P.S. Emily will be in charge of Group B. SIMON IS IN CHARGE OF GROUP A!!! Utter tragedy.

Also Mohra download is taking freaking forever.

So much news. So many developments. Busy days are here again.

But let me write this section by section.

First of all there is good news and bad news regarding the Dufresne–Lederman collaboration.
