Realized that, for some reasons, one of my CDs didn't want to run properly. I took a closer look at it and noticed that it didn't have any scratch or anything like that.
Considering that I burned it myself a few months (years ?) ago and that it is the second CD since June who did something like that, I took the decision to never buy CDs from the brand "Natural" again.
But I'm in for a 700 MB download session... Damn ! It's gonna take me days to download everything from Rapidshare again !

My son puked up his whole dinner (squash and chicken noodles babyfood) all over the carpet. I had to break out the steam cleaner. Poor little baby.

Nearly killed a bloke at Zillmere Railway Station. He tried to commit suicide by throwing himself across the platform. His head was just over the copping stones (platform edge) and his head was under the first train carriage step when I saw him and stopped the train in an emergency. It was that close as train just began to move off when this occured. If I hadn't seen him train would have taken his head clean off as we were just building up speed. Sometimes seeing those sort of things rattle you a bit
That sucks man. Sorry you had to have a day like that.

I found out today I live in the US 
.
WASHINGTON–The Bush administration appears to have annexed a major Canadian landmark as part of a slick new campaign to promote U.S. tourism.
A Disney-produced promotional video released last week by the departments of State and Homeland Security highlights majestic American landscapes, from New England's colourful fall foliage and the Grand Canyon to the Rocky Mountains and Hawaii's pounding surf.
But about four minutes into the seven-minute video, Welcome: Portraits of America, viewers are treated to the impressive sight and sound of water roaring over Niagara Falls.
In showing the natural wonder, Disney's filmmakers, however, chose the Horseshoe Falls, the only one of Niagara's three waterfalls to lie almost entirely on the Canadian side of the border separating New York State from Ontario.
Making matters worse, a visitor to the U.S. would not even be able to get the same view of the falls in the video because the scene was shot from a vantage point in Canada, according to Paul Gromosiak, a Niagara Falls, N.Y., historian and author.
Also, he said the video leaves out the two cascades that actually are on U.S. territory, the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.
"This is not the United States, this is 100 per cent Canada, shot from the Canadian side," Gromosiak said. "This is an insult.''
The distinction between the U.S. and Canadian sides is clear to most people who have visited the Falls.
But it seems to have escaped the notice of the producers and U.S. officials, who presumably vetted the video.
In a separate "making of" video, Jay Rasulo, the chairman of Disney Parks and Resorts, speaks over the falls footage about the importance of showing would-be tourists "the great sites, the great vistas that they dream about all their lives when they dream about America.''
Karen Hughes, the U.S. undersecretary of state for diplomacy, said in a posting to the department's blog last week that the production has the administration's blessing.
"We're going to play it in waiting rooms and at embassy events – and we hope it will inspire many who otherwise might not have thought about travelling to America to come and see it for themselves," Hughes wrote.
Or maybe Canada.
now where can I buy a weapon

The girl I asked out last week who turned me down because 'she didn't want a relationship at the time' is now going out with someone.
Also, Half Life 2. Great game that I've been addicted to which I then found contains possibly the most pathetic last boss and end sequence I've ever experienced. Nearly 1000 minutes to get to something that was beaten in 30 seconds without taking a hit then a 30second end sequence? Bah
