The Rant Room

Alas poor Horatio.....

2005-05-22T00:04:00.000+02:00

So yea uhm... Ignore that title, I have to put something in there so .....

Anyway, it has been a while since I last posted on what has become a lonely post-it of rants on the big bullitin board that is the world wide web.

School has been the major factor of course, nothing like a dosage of mid terms combined with a couple of projects to screw up a lot of your time. Not that school is the only factor but still. I suppose as to the other factors I can name "World of Warcraft", reading, and other such acctivities which elude me at the moment.

Tho recently I have begun to read more and stop playing WoW. After 6 months the game became more of a thing I had to do and not something I liked to do, at which point I stopped playing. If you can't have fun doing something then try to find a way to have fun while doing it or don't do it at all.

The last book I read was written by George R.R. Martin, and was part of the "A Song of Ice and Fire" saga, which was not what I was expecting but a great saga non the less. It's more political intrique then magic and dragons and what not, although they are a key part of the story, the focus doesn't lay upon them.

I think that concludes my somewhat "late" nite rant. Maybe I'll keep a more regular posting schedule from now on... Maybe I won't... I'll just see what happens.

2005 eh?

2005-02-04T13:08:00.000+01:00

This place looks familair... Didn't I used to rant and rave about stuff in here ages ago ? O.O

Anyhoo, I'm bored at the moment and came across the link for my blog an went to see if it was still up. I guess it is.... Odd...

Ah well suppose I can rant a bit now.

Not much going on really.

Have been keeping busy with school, playing World of Warcraft and reading lots of books. Recently bought the Shanara series by Terry Brooks and The Dark Magicians Trilogy by Trudi Canavan. I haven't started with the Shanara books yet, I have finished the first 2 books of The Black Magician's Trilogy tho, they're not anything exceptional but it's a nice story and it reads easily.

Why hello there :)

2004-09-04T21:59:00.000+02:00

Whohoo finnaly got my schedule for next week :D so far so good monday's and tuesday's off long weekends here I come :) Thursday's are going to require lots and lots of caffeine :/ Got up early today around 6:30ish. For me that's freakin early, got dressed, took a shower, ate some breakfast, and went of to help my mom out at work. She works at the local theatre which was recently constructed and even the Queen was present at the opening so that was cool. She cleans stuff up mostly, she does a bit of management for the cleaners and stuff. Of course I wasn't 10 mins there or I got dragged of by this other guy who works there to help him move tables and chairs around and what not.

They have their own site, it's in dutch but it should allow you to get a image of what it looks like. It sometimes reminds me of the Sydney Opera House To view the Site Click Here, or anywhere on this sentence really.... ( when the page loads there is a small, far away view of it down at the bottom left of the background )

Other then that I seem to have caught quite the nasty little cold, running nose and everything BLEH! I knew I should have worn more then a T-shirt to work :/

So all in all it was a somewhat productive day for me. Tommorow I'll have to get up early again and help out some more make some of that perfubual "phat cash" so to speak :)

Signs of life ?

2004-09-02T15:12:00.000+02:00

*cough*

Heh still here ? Geez guess I should make a post or something then......

Wel... Summer's over :( There goes my free time, School is attempting to start up again, attempting because as usual nothing seems to want to work or go smoothly. I have no schedule as of yet, no syllabi telling me what to learn and when to learn it for. I don't even have all my books yet *sigh*. On the up side I have at least one class I might enjoy going to / learning for: Cisco Systems, it's like the basic course but then the basics of that, however it should be fun :)

So far my classmates have been ok, can't really say I know them at this point. I mean I have only known them for what 3 day's now, but it looks promising lots of people who share my interests school and hobby wise so a good start is taking care off. The real Classes start on monday I think anyway since I don't have my schedule yet. Other then that I've just been relaxing, reading, watching movies, enjoying the weather, working a bit etc.

I do have one bit of news.... well I suppose it's not news anymore now. A while ago my attention was brought to this blog. This is supposed to be Quentin Tarantino's blog it has like uhm 15.000 profile views as of right now. There are quite a few people who think this is a fake blog and of course when there is one side there is another so there are also quite a few people who think it is for real. What I think of it you ask ? Well it would be nice if it were the real QT posting there but if I think about it.... I don't really care. I am being entertaint by it be it real or not and that's the reason why I read blogs in first place.

Status: ?

2004-07-25T21:30:00.000+02:00

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....

2004-07-19T18:05:00.000+02:00

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!

2004-07-14T18:53:00.000+02:00

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

Teeth

2004-07-14T15:16:00.000+02:00

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 !?

2004-07-11T14:18:00.000+02:00

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.... ?

2004-07-09T17:03:00.000+02:00

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

2004-07-06T10:18:00.000+02:00

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

De Briggs Meyer Test

Resultaat:

Your personality type is ISFJ.
Introverted (I) 75% Extraverted (E) 25%
Sensing (S) 55% Intuitive (N) 45%
Feeling (F) 70% Thinking (T) 30%
Judging (J) 59% Perceiving (P) 41%

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.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFJ:

Interior Decorators
Designers
Nurses
Administrators and Managers
Administrative Assistants
Child Care / Early Childhood Development
Social Work / Counselors
Paralegals
Clergy / Religious Workers
Office Managers
Shopkeepers
Bookkeepers
Home Economics

A case of the monday's ?

2004-07-05T13:26:00.000+02:00

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...

2004-07-04T12:21:00.000+02:00

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

2004-07-03T18:04:00.000+02:00

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

2004-07-03T14:12:00.000+02:00

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

2004-07-03T13:41:00.000+02:00

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

2004-07-01T20:54:00.000+02:00

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

2004-07-01T12:27:00.000+02:00

*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.

Free time

2004-06-27T18:55:00.000+02:00

I have too much free time on my hands :|, this is somewhat of a good/bad thing really, I mean I like it doing whatever I want whenever I want, on the other hand I often ask myself "ok... what to do now?" Lately i've been keeping occupied, as you probably noticed, with reading. However now I have come upon somewhat of a annoying situation, I've finished Book 5 "Soul of The Fire" in the series, but I'm missing 6 and 7, I've orderen them, BUT they haven't arrived yet while I do have book 8 !! Argh!! I did however read the "prequal" to the series, which was only a 100 pages or so, so that was a quick read, a good one but quick. I want to know what happens next.... :( I've also finished Book 1-3 of The Wheel of Time series, and now I'm out of those too so I'll have to wait til next month til I can buy more.

Besides that, I have yet to finish reading the Malazijn Empire series, And the FSCKING LIBRARY DOESN"T HAVE ANY MORE OF THEM !!!!! *Sigh* more money I have to spent on the next books, now I have 3 series I'm reading all at once, and I'm stuck...... *Sigh*....

Last nights soccer match was ok, we won so that's good, but it didn't really get interesting til the last 2 x 15 mins, and then came the nerve wrecking penalties :| Finnaly we advanche by penalties, the last 5 times we lost :(. We, as in The Netherlands, will be playing Portugal coming wednesday, I'm hoping for a good match if we win or lose. Tonights match is Tsjech - Denmark which should be decent :)

( Damn comics pushed the menu out of the way should only last this post tho :| )

American Elections:

More Books

2004-06-25T12:59:00.000+02:00

I finished reading the first 3 books of the "Wheel of Time" series by Robert Jordan. They're pretty good despite the somewhat lack of action in them ( That means I'll have to buy 7 more books :|, reading costs to damn much :( ), unlike the "Swordt of Truth" books by Terry Goodkind. Speaking of which last monday I ordered thr remaining Sword of truth books that were out, and yesterday some of them arrived, still waiting on 2 of them. And what surprised me is that the last book "Naked Empire" is almost twice the size of the other books, and I don't mean in pages, but actual size, the damn thing stands out like a circus clown at an opera :|. So I went and checked if I maybe ordered the wrong version or something, but nope it says paperback, and it is kinda...... ( Now I also get a joke by Greg Dean the creater of Real Life Comics from a while ago see here) )

So onto Book 4 "Temple of the Winds" it is :) It's not like I got anything better to do at the moment anyway.

Kim Sun-il

2004-06-23T10:50:00.000+02:00

R.I.P Kim Sun-il

South Korea is in shock after one of its nationals was beheaded by Islamic terrorists in Iraq. It was unbearable news for the family of 33-year old Kim Sun-il, who had been given hope just hours earlier when they were told that the militants had dropped their demands. The terrorists had threatened to decapitate Kim if South Korea did not cancel plans to send an extra 3,000 troops to Iraq and pull out its existing 670 soldiers there.

Kim's body was discovered by American troops outside Baghdad yesterday.

He had been working as an Arabic translator for a Korean firm in Iraq for about a year when he was kidnapped on June 17. On Monday, video footage of Kim pleading for his life was aired on Arabic television.

The Jordanian group Tawhid wal jihad, which decapitated American Nicholas Berg last month, has claimed responsibility.

In an unusually brief television appearance, South Korean president Roh Moo-hyun strongly denounced the execution calling it an inhumane criminal act.

He said he is standing firm on his decision to deploy 3,000 more troops in Iraq.

It is a tough but crucial decision for Seoul to support its ally Washington which itself has more than 37,000 troops in South Korea to deter the North.

4 Day's

2004-06-20T19:19:00.000+02:00

So it's been 4 day's without a post, has to be the longest break since well I started I guess. I've been having one of those annoying background headaches, they're not very painfull but they hang around for a few days. So I've been staying clear of my comp to avoid getting a more serious headache. Been reading my books lately again, finished the 2nd book of the series written by Steven Erikson, also finished The Da Vinchi Code by Dan Brown ( very nice read for a non fantasy book ). Besides that I finsihed book 3 in the sword of Truth series, now my wish list at Bol contains around 20 books :| I've also started in book 1 of the Wheel of Time series, I'm about 300 pages into it and it's ok so far, the story is building up nicely.

Let's see what else, oh yea yesterday's fiasco, despite it being a good match between Netherlands and Tjesch Rep. we should have won! We we're 2 - 0 ahead. It all went downhill after our coach switched a good player, for a lesser player, Robben for Bosvelt I believe which turned out rather disastarous in the end, we lost 2 - 3. And now have to wait and see if we can go forth into the next round.

Today my sister had a nice little surprise, she is taking care of a young kitten, 6 weeks old, rather cute :) It pretty much slept on me all day. Our other 2 cats are somewhat intimidated by it, they stay a good 3 foot away at all times if not more hehe

Movies

2004-06-16T15:09:00.000+02:00

I grabbed Shrek 2, The Chronicles of Riddick and The Whole 10 Yards of usenet yesterday. I liked the original shrek and Shrek 2 was just as good, if not better, I especialy liked the pinochio thing in the jail :) The animation was as good as always I'd give it a good 8/10 overall.

The Chronicles of Riddick was ok, the story seemed to take somewhat of a background to all the action tho. But the action was nice so it was still a good movie. Tho I wished they would have elaborated on the war between Riddicks people and the Necromancers, that should have been interesting. They left somewhat of an open ending to allow the option of a sequal I guess, which I wouldn't mind seeing :) What I also liked was the "Elementals" it kinda reminded me of Dune for some reason.

I'm currently watching the Whole 10 yards, so far it's been decent, I liked the previous movie "The Whole 9 Yards" with the same cast so this 1 should be entertaining aswell.
My sisters been nagging at me to let her behind the comp so she can MSN stuff I guess, she's been without Internet to her own comp since wednesday, it should be back up today / tommorow and then she can finnaly leave me alone :D

Random Ranting

2004-06-14T13:58:00.000+02:00

Like there's any other kind. Anyway I was going to watch garfield, and I did kinda... You see CD 1 worked fine, but then CD 2 was nothing :|. Don't think I'll go find another version tho, the movie kinda sucked. I mean it's Garfield but it's also not... You probably have to see the movie to know what I mean :|. Yesterday's soccer match ( England vs France ) was quite entertaining especialy the last 3 minutes of overtime, 2 goals by Zinedine Zidane, the bugger scored twice in 90 seconds, 1 from a nice free kick and 1 from a penalty. England maintained the lead for a good 50 minutes, after a missed penalty by David Beckham. I also watched Van Helsing, nich action flick but that's it tho, I had hoped for a better story but alass. I managed to grab a nice Harry Potter 3 release from Chakra aswell, am tempted to burn it onto cd for my sis.

I finnaly got pissed enough at my Stereo to rip one of the cd's I was trying to listen to by R.E.M, it's an old one, 1991 if I'm not mistaken, with the 2 hits "Shiny Happy people" and "Loosing my Religion" the rest of the tracks are pretty decent aswell.

blablabla.....

Nothing much going on, finished Book 3 "Blood of the Fold" yesterday now reading that library book, I managed to fix an issue with my newsgroup client so I'm downloading happily again. Have to catch up for like a week or so :|. Going to watch the new Garfield movie this afternoon see if it's any good, I have been hearing a lot of bad things about it. Other then that, well... I did manage to get a glimpse of the soccer matches yesterday last time I checked Greeze beat Portugal by 2 - 1 and Spain just scored 1 -0 against Russia. 2 more matches today, not sure which ones but we'll see, it won't really get interesting til I think thursday when The Netherlands vs Germany match begins :)
