Dune

Ok, I know it’s a classic and everybody had already seen it, but I had not, so in a flash of nostalgia and boredness I hired Dune, the movie. As usual, we can say in short that; “the book was better”. Though the movie was even harder to follow to non-readers than was the case with LOTR. And there were of course the various side-tracks (like when only the Baron’s mentat was killed by duke Leto with the poison-gass-tooth instead of most of his bodyguards and officers).
But apart from that it was quite cool. One major dissappointment for me was the IMO absolute miscast of “Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek”(don’t know his real name) as a flamboyant and charming interstellar bard. He is way too much reserved for that, he has no flair whatsoever, he’d better have been a mentat I think, or, why not; the emperor?

Luckily I could still marvel at the soundtrack (and Sting being killed and split in two by a sound-weapon ;p ).

Ok, enough sulking for today

… sulking doesn’t help anyway …

… and I got a new bike, it fliieeees .

Well, it does after two years of heavy pedalling on a rusted wreck :p.

I’m a spoilt kid …

Tsssss

Today a girl drowned in a swimming-prohibited zone,
apart from the fact that she used to live close to us and at that time was a good friend of my sister, I always think it’s really sad, that people die in such dumb situations.
Why do people do such things? But then, yeah, crossing the street is dangerous as well, should we stay in our houses and never come out because something might happen? And even then we can drop down the staircase…

Makes me really frustrated.

And then I got a mail from my thesis-promotor;
“No, we don’t do thesisses with people who didn’t succeed all of their subjects at first try. But we whish you the best of luck.”

Very nice of my school to sign me up for that thesis,
knowing I didn’t succeed in januari …

Is this the point where I should crawl into a corner and cry?
Well, they can run to the moon, or an even more remote place for my part.
I wish them a third degree sunburn, néh.

…

And now I’m gonna comfort myself with heaps of icecream.

O-zon

PPppppffffff…

today ozone-concentrations are gonna crash the limits …

I’m already preparing to lay down on my bed all day and do nothing …

it really sucks …

Who ever invented this O3 thing anyway,
may He burn in hell … muwhahaha

New Pain Research Shows Mice Capable Of Empathy

Well, there is a reason why they are deemed the most intelligent species on earth …

Just one more step towards dehumanification of the human race… http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/06/060630095921.htm

When will they finally find out we’re actually self-centered losers pretending to be better than the rest of the worlds population…

I’ll tell you; Humanity is struggling with an ivory-tower-complex.

One day we’ll wake up to see how we’ve been shamelessly manipulated by our “pets”…

Yeah, I’m also talking about you catlovers… *KGHSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

:p

Widgets (and it’s not about Python this time)

Whiieeeee,

found some new fun stuff ; http://widgets.yahoo.com/

The analog clock is soo handy,
it buzzes every 15 minutes …
so now I’ll be a bit better at estimating time-intervals.
I’m so bad at time-keeping,
must be I have an odd gravity field or something …
… hmm, that would explain all my stuff warping out of place …
… or maybe I’m just a messy confuzzled numbhead.
