Last.fm
For everybody not living in the US, UK or Germany, streaming from Last.fm costs 3 euros a month, starting today. Which is kind of understandable. Streaming music on demand costs money.
And I wouldn't mind paying for it, if it weren't for one thing. They've decided not to charge their richest and most numerous users. I know it could be a bit too much to ask a business to be fair, but I have a choice of not supporting one that isn't.

A Quote
People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't
think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is
an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the
purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost
being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.
That's what it's all finally about.

Poker
What is the attraction of playing poker on the internet? From what I understand, half of the fun in the game is watching the body language of other players, and online, it isn't possible. Considering how boring the game generally is, I just don't see where the appeal is.

After I got over the feeling of outrage that this was someone's master's thesis video (while my degree still gets translated as BSc), I watched it.
When it was done, all I wanted to do was sit and cry. I'm really getting emo in my old age...

It's Dead, Jim
Yesterday, I ate food that had expired over five years ago. Five? Yes, I actually took it with me (from my mum's fridge) when I moved.
Twenty-four hours later... Alive, well, no digestive problems. Another victory for my intestines. (On the other hand, maybe there really wasn't anything wrong with the food...)

I wore green today. Wrote with green ink in a green pen... But no Irish beer.

From the Punctured into the Empty
It is a rather stupid saying, when you stop consider it...
Still. I'm empty. Nothing can come out of something empty.

If I want to waste ink, I may as well use the 'forever in the land of grace and glory' line... The running in a very tight circle I'm doing right now is even more pointless.
I should just go to bed.

The Ways of the White
How many different patterns are there in which one can eat five rows of four pills? I should've kept a count.

Name the Song
Show me what it's like,
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight...

I missed the fact that yesterday was the Three Squared day... I missed many things yesterday. I think I would've missed a war had one started right outside my window.
So tired. Again. Already. No sleep, no dreams. Old wraiths creeping back.
Action and motivation. I suppose I should go make myself some tea. A lot of tea.
