Groves Mechanisms got you down?

Slow down, you move too fast
The IR that needs to be compatible is the last
Just flunkin' down the years
Lookin' for fun and
Feelin' Grovesy!

Hello principal
Whatcha knowin?
I've come to watch your transfers growin'
Ain'tcha got no types for me?
Doo Bee Doo Doo,
Feelin' Grovesy!

Got shitloads of exams to do
Progression criteria to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the pigeons drop their shit on me...
Mechanism design, I hate love you,
All is Grovesy!


Footnote: I'm really sorry but as you can clearly see I'm so far beyond stressed out that I'm doing evil to sweet feel good S&G songs. I need help.

At Guanabara (and a mild dull pain)!


Nikki's Birthday


On Nikki's birthday, about twenty of us landed up at Guanabara, this really snazzy Brazilian joint in Holborn. The Cheesebread was good, the live band stupendous, and Monetary Economics was forgotten for a night.

Note to the Vinayak from the future:

On this fateful day I left my keys inside the house and got locked out. Again. If you ever do something as stupid as this, make sure its not on a Jewish extended weekend so that your landlord isn't around to bail your butt out for five continous days. Emergency locksmiths cost 200 pounds at current prices, and inflation isn't expected to help ease that dull, mild pain in your arse. Vinayak from the future, avoid being locked out of your house, it can be a nasty experience. Even if you have amazing friends who let you stay over during exam time on short notice, that mild dull pain won't go away so easily.

End note.

The other wife.

I've always known that us Indians were by far the most deviant creatures on Earth. This guy takes the cake. What a blithering idiot.

You know you're losing it when...

You walk into the grocery store, and notice that the 'Best Before' date on the loaf of bread reads "June 1st", and all you go over to the guy stocking fresh bread and ask him, "Hey... does that mean the bread becomes a free good on the day of my micro exam?"

In case you don't know you're losing it then, wait till you see the look on the guy's face.

Oh, and some passing advice - the utility function U(a,b) = a - b-1 is normal... nothing wrong with it... nothing at all! Don't bother visiting your professor's office in panic to ask him how to draw the indifference curve for it. I already did that... and I felt like evicting the nearest ostrich and sticking my head in it's place.
