And with a phone call things change.
Once again, for the moment, I won't be travelling anywhere. It's been, at least, postponed for a few months. A pity, because I wanted to know the place, but at the same time it's a good thing because my family won't have to expend the money and still will get the results. You can still guess, if you want, but from what I see there wasn't much people interested in playing. Tsk tsk, people, you are boring.
Quote from Dilbert:
"I'm drowning and monkeys dressed as lifeguards are throwing me anvils".
I have a little game for you, you and both of you. You in particular have no chance to win though, but are welcome to try anyway.
There's a 70% chance (more or less, no scientific method behind this number) that, after all, I'll visit a foreign country this year. Even more, it could happen in 3 weeks or so. It's not a country that I expected to visit for the moment. So, want to try to guess which country is it? Here's a little list.
- Chile
- Colombia
- Canada
- Cuba
- Croatia
- China
Those who guess correctly can ask for something (possible and with a big number of limitations that I won't bother to list) from me. You have... I don't know... 4/5 days to answer.
Note: I won't go there on vacation exactly and the reason why I'll visit it (if it comes to happen) isn't the most joyous one, but it should prove interesting anyway. I can't give more details or it would become too obvious.
I'll have vacation from work (a week) and at the same time I'm switching my Internet company for another that will provide me a cheaper and faster service. But this means that I'll spend a few days without Internet connection. I will probably check my mail at some place, but not a lot more than that. So don't expect to see me for 6 days or so.
I can be reached via text message in my cellphone. I think most of you have it already. Mir, you should try and see if it works. Or send me your number to my mail and I'll try it. I was going to ask you on MSN, but I always forget.
Why am I letting you know this, while usually I disappear for a few days without a word? It's just that this time I actually know that I'll be gone :P
See you, kids.
Have you ever played Human Tetris?
I have no idea why I find this so funny, but it cracks me up. Honestly. It's like perfect comedy :P

Ancient Egyptians would be great at this game!
While most people don't seem to know what Paris syndrome is (at least almost nobody answered my question) with my good friend Isi we have discovered another syndrome, the Paris (Hilton) one.
Paris (Hilton) syndrome is the syndrome that makes lots and lots of people say that she's hot when she clearly isn't.
Do you know what Paris Syndrome is?
Music for you, you and you, but not for you, because, frankly, you don't deserve it.
My favorite song from the latest Manic Street Preachers album. It's sad that the person who put this on youtube didn't make a video :P

A pretty nice NoFx song with great lyrics. Applies to the whole world, not just USA.

Wolves in Wolves' clothing
We are Rome, Aztec Mexico, Easter Island paradigm
We are followers of Jimmy Jones, cutting in the Kool-Aid line
We are Animal Farm pigs
We are a Terry Gilliam film
We are fear oligarchy
We are wolves in wolves' clothing
We are this planet's kidney stones
In the process of getting passed, metamorphosis from first to last
A system breaking down beyond repairs
A product of three million millionaires and 100 million easy marks
We are Marie Antoinette
We are Joseph McCarthy
We've finally become the divided states
A nation built on freedoms, fears, and hate: the denotation of irony
We all want a Hollywood end, but we're getting a foreign one
The script has already been penned and titled "the epitaph of a drowning nation."
Today's little "Facts that you probably didn't know about PUNK": I probably (95% I'd say, without having consulted with any doctor) suffer a very light version (I think my mother and my brother have it worse) of this:

Believe me, it may not sound like it, but it's terribly annoying.
In lighter news, Squee is wishing us all a very pornographic new year:

After something like 10 months of rehearsing together, we finally decided a name for my band. And the name is...
Sinestesia! (synaesthesia)!
What do you think? I think it's better than those of my previous bands, "about:blank" and "Zoophia".
I added my real life address there on Private Information. Now you can feel free to use it if you want.
With some luck, this will bring all the lunatics to my house and I'll be able to open an asylum.
In case you have been living inside a barrel and didn't know about this, I give you... The tree man!

Morann se inclinó hacia adelante y tomó una pequeña campanilla de plata. Cuando su tintineo moría, la puerta se abrió y un hombre de corta estatura, muy delgado y con abundante pelo blanco y rizado, entró. Cerró la puerta detrás de él y se dirigió hacia una silla que miraba hacia Fidelma y que estaba ubicada junta a la mesa donde Morann se hallaba sentado.
Peter Tremayne : Whispers of the dead
In Argentina everybody is an organ donor by law, unless you especifically state the opposite. Or your family does so after you are death and you expressed legally that you wanted to be donor. Now, this is a great thing for people like me, who hate bureoucracy and paperwork, but still want to donate.
Presents! Lots of presents!
For [Mirime], as anniversary present, Morrisey's "Viva Hate"
