Despite what you might have hoped or thought I stil roam the land of the living, not much stuff has been happening of late, ergo the few rants.  I'll no doubt rant about stuff, when I actualy have stuff to rant about!

 

Fine I'll rant a bit....

 
Going to watch Kill Boll Vol. 2 Tommorow, I'm not expecting much, I think it's not one of Tarantino's better works. My favourite still is and always has been Pulp Fiction. Let's see other then that... Oh I'm now reading the 4th book in the Wheel of Time series by Rovert Jordan, almost 4 down 7 to go......

So....

here I am home alone so to speak, the folks are off on a little vacation somewhere in the vacinity of Prague. And me and my sis have the house to ourselves. Well I practicly have the house to myself. My sister, stays out so long that it doesn't even count she often doesn't come home until 5-7 AM! and she leaves at 7 pm the day before..... so she sleeps til around 2 pm. Which makes her utterly useless in any matters concearning household tasks. Like today for example I got out of bed at 12, I had a late nite aswell the day before. I went on about cleaning the dishes, watering the plants, emptying the trash bins, vaccuming so I asked her at around 2 pm if she could do the grossery shopping since I did all the rest.
 
She agreed, I made a little list of what we need and give her it.  So I went on about my business about an hour later I'm getting hungry and go downstairs to check out what there is to eat. To my surprise no shopping has been done so I go up to her room and ask when shes going to do the grosseries. Half an hour she replies, I figure 30 + 30 - 60 mins for the shopping I can wait that long, so I'll wait until she's back. And fair enough 30 minutes later I hear the door slam, rigth on cue :) at around 4 pm I go downstairs to see if the food is there yet, which it's not. Can't be long now, 5 pm still nothing and I'm getting bloody hungry, I figure we agreed that she'd come in everyday at 5 pm so we can cook dinner so it can't be long now. 6 PM she finnaly shows up but not with all the grosseries, she forgot the damn list I gave her FFS! So she drops of the stuff and is gone in 5 minutes flat. *Sigh* so I make myself something to eat, ahhhh food :D clean up and check how much money is left, abotu half is fsking gone, WTF!! No way it was that much grosseries !! Grrr.....

Ouch!

School has reared it's ugly head, with a book list costing around 300 bucks ! My wallet hurts T.T

Teeth

So today was the day I was somewhat dreading, a while back my wisdom tooth began to come through. Which on itself is not such a bad thing at all, however I had the stupid notions of feeling what it was that was bugging one of my upcoming teeth. So I started fiddling with it and suddenly *chunk!* I broke a piece off. Stupid... Stupid... Stupid... me :| So now I have a gaping whole in the back of that tooth and to make matters worse today I had a dentist appointment.... Fortunaly I've been giving some time before he puts on the hurting :) I now have an appointment on August 5th 1 pm to have the damn thing pulled, I'm so not looking forward to having a needle shoved up my mouth and into the upper parts of my jaw :X *sigh*

ALF !?

I'm not sure if you remember this guy:



It's ALF ! It's an old comedy serie from NBC, it first aired in 1986 and he's still as populair as ever :) He's getting his own talk show, I'm hoping it will be good, despite being 21 and not being old enough to have seen it on tv back then I did catch quite a few reruns.

Here's a recent "interview" with Alf:

Kendis Gibson: What's the point of this talk show? And I like the modesty in calling it, "ALF's Hit Talk Show."

ALF: Hey, well I call 'em as I see 'em. It's a hit, man. It's going to be a hit.

KG: What's the idea behind the show?

ALF: Why not? Everyone else has had a shot at talk shows. I'm a people alien. I like talking. I like showing. Talk show -- there it is.

KG: You realize you're going to be up against some pretty tough competition, such as John McEnroe's new talk show.

ALF: What's it about tennis? He's not funny.

KG: Well he can't knock the guests you had on your show.

ALF: Oh yeah -- Drew Carey, Dennis Franz, Henry Winkler and Joan Rivers, not bad for 20 minutes.

KG: And you had Dennis Franz check out your new cookbook?

ALF: Oh yeah, I have a new cookbook that I'm shamelessly plugging: "Cats, The Other White Meat." And as soon as Bill Clinton's new book clears the charts, I hope to get that up in second place.

KG: Now I have to say that your career has had more show business lives than the cats you crave. You had the television show, appearances on those 10-10-220 commercials, and you kept "Hollywood Squares" on television for many years.

ALF: I saved them. I brought them from the doldrums up to the top.

KG: But "Hollywood Squares" is no longer, and the 10-10-220 commercials are no more.

ALF: I'm the kiss of death, is that what you're saying?

KG: So is this show a one-time thing and then it's done?

ALF: Well, it's a pilot, and then I guess what they're going to do, is see if people like it and the ratings and then we go on from there.

KG: We'll see if it lives up to its namesake, and become a hit.

ALF: I have all the faith in the world that this will be a hit -- it's a different show.

Sex tapes and.... ?

It seems like every celebrity has their own sex tape these days this time it's Cameron Diazs turn, you can get it here you'll need Bit Torrent. Or you can get it off alt.binaries.multimedia.nude.celebrities with the header Cameron Diaz "S&M" Vid - terrible quality - yEnc "cameron-la.rar" it's 72 mb. It's not really a "sex" tape, it's her in a kinky outfit and she flashes her breasts for a while, not much to get all excited about. I'm sure it's all over Kazaa or any other p2p program by now hell you prob can't turn a page on the "www" without getting that title slammed in your face.

In other news, MSN seems to be messing with me, everytime I start the damn program my upload jumps to its max, and even when I shut msn off it still keeps pumping out data, so I installed a firewall and stuff, scanned for ad ware / spy ware, viruses but to no avail. So I'm leaving it alone for a while, I'm hoping if I ignore it, it will go away hehe :)

Oh and according to some important peeps ( judges ) at the world court in The Hague ( Netherlands ) the wall Israel is / has build is illigal and has to be taken down. It's always something over there isn't it, migth aswell be the dark ages there, at least then the casualties would be lower :| A day doesn't go by when some one blows himself up and Israel shoots off some missiles to retailiate or vica versa *sigh* they've got some vicious circle going on over there. Oh and did I mention they "might" have a nuclear arsenal *scary thought*, Israel has been getting away with all kinds of crap in matter of finance and other area's. I am fully aware the shit that happened to the jews in WW II but still that's 50 years ago and now look at the crap situation they're in, somewhat by their own doing. They can't help but live there, they were assigned that land after WW II by some one, apparantly that some one didn't mind pissing of the people already living there. I don't think they gave location to much of a thought.

De Briggs Meyer test

I saw this test on another blog ( De leau ) and thought I'd go do it for a bit of fun.

Career:


Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

ISFJs generally have the following traits:

Large, rich inner store of information which they gather about people
Highly observant and aware of people's feelings and reactions, Excellent memory for details which are important to them, Very in-tune with their surroundings - excellent sense of space and function, Can be depended on to follow things through to completion, Will work long and hard to see that jobs get done, Stable, practical, down-to-earth -they dislike working with theory and abstract thought, Dislike doing things which don't make sense to them, Value security, tradition, and peaceful living, Service-oriented: focused on what people need and want, Kind and considerate, Likely to put others' needs above their own, Learn best with hands-on training, Enjoy creating structure and order, Take their responsibilities seriously, Extremely uncomfortable with conflict and confrontation

ISFJs have two basic traits which help define their best career direction: 1) they are extremely interested and in-tune with how other people are feeling, and 2) they enjoy creating structure and order, and are extremely good at it. Ideally, the ISFJ will choose a career in which they can use their exceptional people-observation skills to determine what people want or need, and then use their excellent organizational abilities to create a structured plan or environment for achieving what people want. Their excellent sense of space and function combined with their awareness of aesthetic quality also gives them quite special abilities in the more practical artistic endeavors, such as interior decorating and clothes design.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISFJ. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Interior Decorators
Designers
Nurses

A case of the monday's ?

Today I found out that baked mushrooms on a white bun, which made a bit crusty my baking it in a pan, is quite nice to eat. I haven't tried to put a sauce or anything on it, maybe next time I'll try some of that mushroom thingie that goes into a cake like thingie, heh I don't think I can get any more vague then that. I also got a GMail invite yesterday, curtesy off GWX.nl he had a couple to spare :) I havent' actualy used it a lot, because well I haven't had it for more then a day ! I have to say tho from what I have read and seen it looks nice, and simple in use.

I'm planning on watching Scooby Doo 2 this afternoon, the last movie was good for a laugh so I figure this 1 might be too. I signed up for the World of Warcraft Beta today over here, sign ups will last for the next 3 weeks, damn long time if you ask me. They're probably stalling for time to get stuff ready.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday...

Well Hellboy was somewhat worth it, it's a decent movie but as every one had already said before I watched it the end kinda sucks, it could have been done so much better. I also watched The Day After Tommorow, and to my surprise it was half decent, not at all the crappy movie I was expecting, which was good cause I needed something to watch.

Oh and Google Inc. is being a pain in the ass, I wanted to locate a certain channel on IRC and usualy I do that by going to this site XGoogle which as you can see is gone thanks to your friendly search engine google. It was quite a handy site, and it's not like they were doing anything to infrinch on google's search engine, I mean if they were going to develop something like that for google then I'm all for it. *sigh* ah well.

I also added a small addition to the Blog, In the menu to your left you'll notice a couple of new links, these are as you probably already figured out by the title, Blogs that I read, some are 100 % Dutch, some are 50 - 50 in Dutch - English and some may be totaly English, go find out which are which :)

Hellboy & Books

Finnaly I have it complete on my HD, going to watch it tonite :) After dinner that is, Macaroni and cheese with mushrooms and meatloaf, and the optional weird red sauce thingie ^^

Bleh I need something to read, I need to borrow / buy me some more books :| I want to know what happens next with Rand Al'Thor ( Wheel of Time ) and Strijker ( Malazan Empire ).

SMS Operator

Ok I'm definatly not doing that one, you have to answer SMS messages, however 80 % of that will be erotic, ewww... no way in hell !!

Jobs and Stuff

So far not much luck in the job hunt, haven't seen anything interesting so far, or anything decent for that matter. I mailed some weird company about a job as "SMS Operator" which you can do from home behind you own comp, that be nice money making :) . If it turns out that it's a bust I could always go phone up some cleaning companies in the area they're usualy looking for people all the time especialy during the summer when they have to clean out all those offices and schools. It's decent money for decent labor.

Yesterday I tried to download the last few files of Hellboy DVD, in the end I was getting so pissed off that it wouldn't work. I mean first I tried updating the group so I could get the last files, about halfway it cuts off and starts again, ok fine, shit happens I'd say. Yea but not 5 fscking times in a row. And it was going at a pace so slow like 1/20 of the speed I could get. Then I tried 2 other programs waited patiently til they were done updating then I went on and downloaded the file. Whohooooo !!! Time to unrar the files and watch ! yea right..... somehow that program fscked the files up and they don't work >< then that other program through a bunch of fits and messed up too *sigh* So today I'm giving it another go and with a HUGE amount of luck I'll be watching Helboy this afternoon :| ( This movie better be fscking worth it !!! )

Done

I've finished the last book, and as usual it was a great read, I checked the author's site to see how long I would have to wait for the next book, which is called "Chainfire" and will be a Trilogy as I found out, and it turns out it's nearing release. Well not "near" but it won't be as long as I had feared, it is scheduled for release on January 4th 2005. Which should give me ample time to read the remaning Wheel of Time and The Malazijn Empire books. Oh and btw Spiderman 2 was great :D

*Yawn*

*Scratched back of head* Soooo, now I am on the last book of the sword of Truth series "Naked Empire". It probably won't be the last by far that Terry Goodkind is going to release, much to my enjoyment I may add, but it's the latest out after this it's probably going to be a year or so before he publishes another one. So afer this I'll turn my attention on the Wheel of Time books, by Robert Jordan, which I have only read the first 3 out of 10 out ( I think it's 10 anyway ) after that it's back to The Malazijn Empire by Steven Erikson.

I'm planning on watching Spiderman 2 this afternoon, should be good fun. I liked the last one, to my surprise actualy, I wasn't anticipating good acting and actualy following the spidey plot :). After I'm done reading I'm probably going to go look for a summer job, make some cash to buy more books. My parents been nagging at me for like what seems forever, to get a job. Despite the fact that I have told them I would, tho I have to admit I have been reluctant in making an effort, I mean who "really" wants to work during the summer anyway? Ah well, depsite being 21 now, I sometimes still catch myself in such "child" like notions, I am fully aware you have to work to get food on the table and once I start working I usualy don't mind, I've got problems starting up. I've got it pretty good, probably too good for my own good so to say.
