Anyway, the last time I had one to myself (a long time ago) I decided to keep family, friends and a bunch of annoying relatives on hold, opting for some random surfing instead. Why? Because the Internet is quiet, efficient, entertaining, and goes away when I want it to; in short, completely unlike my relatives.

Speaking of my kith and kin, there's a cousin of mine who, I think, has a multiple personality disorder. It's a condition where several different behavioural traits come together in one body. Just the thought sends chills down my spine.

Personalities and their different characteristics always make for interesting reading though, which is why Backwash is a good way to spend a long Sunday afternoon. The site has something for all individuals and personality types. For the conservative like me, there are pages on culture, archives of 'ad-offenders' against women and even pictures of a town where people believe they are demon warriors…

For my friend Deepak (a certified Internet addict), there are some funny error message and an emoticons gallery. There's also a page for gay connoisseurs (whoever they are) with information on divas, gay rights and the essence of fine wine. Want music? It's got the worst songs from the 70s and in-depth analyses of U2 lyrics.

If that doesn't hook you for too long, why not spend some quality time at a country with an unusual name - Cascadia. Where is it? No idea. What I do know is that the people who live here want freedom from 'the oppressive governments of Canada and the United States'. The republic boasts a population of 12,653,849, all speaking a language called Cascadese, which is supposedly a dialect of English. Do I believe them? Not for a minute.

While they want freedom so bad, a large number of Indians are trying just as hard to get away from their independent country. Like another cousin of mine, who craves a degree from an American university. People in the same boat ought to like New2Usa with its info on admissions, career opportunities, housing and insurance. It's also got a contest with a free ticket to the US as the prize. Try your luck. I know my cousin will.

Enough of the serious stuff, why not relax with a cup of coffee and a movie? BMW Films gets you the latter on its interactive film player. I prefer the big screen, to be honest, munching popcorn and sipping coke. But you may like this option. God knows a couple of hundred million around the planet do.

That's it for this week. Monday beckons.
