Spiderman, Spiderman
I went to the cinema to see a tear-jerking film, because I really felt like getting emotional. And I counted on some neat special effects. Well, I got the special effects, which were the same as in the first one. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, though... They made me realise the entire concept of Spiderman wouldn't work in a small town - no tall buildings. Anyway... I really was hoping to come out of the cinema on the verge of tears, but instead, I almost didn't come out. I almost fell asleep. My dearest carrot, what a boring flic that was... The first half hour was OK. But then... The what-to-do, what-to-do agonising... The would-be inspirational speeches... But, Americans loved it, so there'll certainly be a third. They sure poked people in the eyes hinting it.
And stopping a small sun of a fusion reaction(!) by dumping it into a river? I mean, really.

First Impressions
It can be the best AV program in the universe. I don't care. It deleted my aliases file, and wouldn't let me restore it until I disabled its each and every component. It's not small, as people claim it is. It's only fast when it doesn't scan all the files (and this is the default option). But all this doesn't matter. Some other AVs I used are both larger and slower. The important thing is, it deleted my IRC aliases, and took 30 minutes of my life while I was trying to restore the deleted file, the very first time I used it! And that's the only thing that will ever matter to me when NOD32 is concerned.

Americans and Their Toilets
What is such a big deal with putting down the toilet seat? Is it even a big deal, or is it just something the popular (read: American) culture has blown out of all proportions, like the difficulty of operating a VCR? Whatever it is, is it enough to warrant a toilet which puts the seat down on its own?
Search! Search!
An AOL search for "1796 sabre" finds, as the result #3, the non-historical dream. The non-historical dream kicks ass!

Unremembered Dream
I had a dream last night. One of those very, very short ones with extreme time compression that makes them seem to last for days. It was a very good and interesting dream, almost as good as the non-historical one. The irritating thing is, that's all I remember about it... I have a good dream, finally, and then I forget it. Grr.
It seems I need to feed them better.

Grandmothers, Wheels and Wagons
If I had a laptop, I could do things I'm too lazy to do at home while I waste time for my country. Make a site for my bureau, for example. Modernise my own sites... Play some games I'm too lazy to play at home... Anything, really, before staring into nothing waiting for it to turn into something drives me crazy... Reading, after four months of it, just doesn't do it any more.
AAAAAA...
...RGH! I need entertainment! I need something to do!
Hm.

Miniaturization
The process mentioned in the title is causing electronics to get smaller and smaller, right? So why are the fucking computer cases getting bigger and bigger???

More Amazing Facts
Blogger.com spelling checker doesn't recognise the words 'blog' and 'Google'. Which is funny, when you consider the fact that it's a site for making blogs, owned by Google.
Search Engines...
Google searches for icq bots spam, heavenwood and "identifying bird feathers" will find this blog. Among the first ten results. Interesting...
GMO Food
Amazing thing about this GMO food scare is the people's fear they (or their children) will grow fins, gills and scales if they eat tomato which had fish genes added to its genome. I wonder why aren't they scared they'll grow fish parts if they eat fish...

NOD32
They say it's good. Well, I say it's shit. The first thing it did was delete my IRC aliases file. And then wouldn't let me access the recovered file (thank carrot I got a nice little recovery utility recently), until I started the system in the safe mode, recovered the file, and set the exclusion before starting the IRC client. NAV didn't do that. NAV was less memory-intensive, believe it or not.

Lights
Driving with your lights on during the day is idiocy. Granted, there are situations when it's desirable, even necessary, to turn on the headlights in broad daylight, but having them on all the time... So retarded. They say it makes driving safer. Bullshit. That's bulb manufacturer propaganda.
19.8.04
Light
The Western civilization never ceases to amaze me with its stupidity. We have light sodas, light yoghurt, light hot-dogs(!). Light this, light that. Well, and you're quite welcome to laugh at me for not noticing this sooner, we also have light mineral water. This being mineral water with no minerals in it... And you're supposed to drink it, not pour it into your car's battery.

Why...
...am I wearing pants right now? I really shouldn't do that.
17.8.04
Or maybe...
...I should just forget about the laptop, and get myself a desktop of twice the power and much lower price? But on the other hand, I could carry a laptop around with me... Not that I go around that much, but being able to use a computer in bed... Or in an armchair... Well, I still have the money problem. Which I can't solve right now. :(
Blah. A good thing I removed the cash out of my reach. Makes things much more simple, even though this look-but-don't-touch situation pains me.

I want...
But I can't find the money for it... Well, I could, but that would require some creativeness I'm not quite ready for... I suppose I'll just have to be patient for a bit longer.
16.8.04
I need...
...a laptop. Which is more of a 'want', really, but still... As things are now, the choice will be between HP nc8000 and Dell Latitude D800.
Spiders or Bats?
Which would be a better defense against mosquitoes, a trained spider, or a trained bat?

Animal Rights Exposure
Doing bunny-hugger bashing is fun... But being exposed to all the drivel they call philosophy can make one... Touchy. To use an understatement... Why am I doing it? Because they are a danger-which-is-really-not, that cause of the human laughter? Because they're so retarded, you can't but laugh at them, and wonder, how can anyone be so stupid? I really try to be a nice, politically correct person, and not laugh at mentally challenged (see, I can even use that term!) people. But in this case... No. No niceness. It's their own fault, they did it to themselves.

Did I Say Sleep?
I did. Some 22 hours of it.

Sleep deprivation
I feel disconnected. From the world. From my emotions. And strangely focused on whatever task is at hand at the moment. Reading, writing. Staring out of the window, watching two Gypsy women washing themselves in the fountain. Future holds no meaning, and I have only one thought of it. Sleep. To lie down, in my hard bed, and lose myself in the oblivion. Perhaps, dream.
And all that on a Friday 13th.

Actually, it's 'OK'. And it's at the bottom of the priority list...
Yes, I messaged it and checked. Yes, I really didn't have anything better to do. Yes, I actually was curious. No, I don't think I should get a life. So sue me.

More About the Monopolist Telecomm Company
The bitches, who, one has to admit, do not have a monopoly on mobile services, have raised the price of text-messaging for the post-paid users. (It's still cheaper than on the other network, though...) They have, of course, let us find that out on our own. Or, be pleasantly surprised when the next bill arrives. But they haven't failed to mention that now we can have picture profiles on their stupid little dating service, and that we're most welcome to give them even more money for the dubious privilege of seeing those pictures. I can't wait for the third network to start working... Although, knowing the way things work in this country, it's not going to be any better than the existing two. I need to emigrate...

AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY THEIR MONOPOLIST PRICES WHICH ALLOW THEM TO MAKE HUGE PROFIT, WHEN EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD TELECOMM COMPANIES ARE LOSING MONEY! AND I CAN'T EVEN GET THEIR FUCKING NON-FLAT-RATE (THEY SAY FLAT-RATE 'ISN'T POSSIBLE'; WELL, OF COURSE IT ISN'T POSSIBLE, THEY WOULDN'T ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO MAKE 300% PROFIT IF THERE WAS FLAT-RATE) DSL!
Well, my favourite ISP is starting its own DSL thing this autumn... Although I don't think it'll be much better, since THE FUCKING MONOPOLISTS HOLD ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THEIR FUCKING NAZI HANDS!

I felt like torturing myself. I really had nothihg better to do. So I went throught he entire archive of that web-comic I mentioned earlier (I'd say, some two or three hundred of them). I actually smiled. Weakly. Twice. It has guest comics, too. Which are even less amusing than the original.
However, I now want to have a T-shirt with the power button sign on it...

Pens
Sleeping with a pen in one's hand does not bring inspiration. Instead it brings one of the two things: a) personal injury, or b) bad sleep caused by the fear of personal injury.
Meh. Again.
How can I be bored at almost 4 AM? Can't I just go to sleep? I'm not even drunk, but I put my pic on Hot or Not. Now that it's there, it can stay there. For a bit, at least.
I really should go to bed.
