I started watching the Wire. The thing about watching a good TV show is that you sort of get into the TV show. For instance today, I noticed I started speaking like some of the characters in the show. Novel words such as ‘yaw’ were making its way into my vocabulary. It sort of makes me feel cool that I can actually identify with the characters of the show. Actually the language didn’t worry me so much. I thought the change would allow me to blend into my surroudings. Coming from a foreign land, its easy to feel out of place as a consequence of your accent. Now, I finally have a chance to fit in. I’m going to start working on my attire. My ‘I just got up now’ look seems promising.

I can totally relate to your thoughts.
I’ve managed to pick up some phrases myself….from the TV show FRIENDS.
It’s a disease. Never know when you catch it…but by the time you realize it, you’re so much similar to the character.
But I must say, it hasn’t had much of an impact on my attire though!!
