Gotta get the following CDs:
- Beck: Sea Change
The Golden Age rocks, I’ve been listening to it on repeat for a while now and am still not tired of it
- Ryan Adams: Demolition
The same goes for Jesus (don’t you touch my baby), I’ve got a playlist consisting just of those two songs.

The reason why I haven’t updated for a while: Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo
I’ve been playing the Linux demo for a while now, and it’s a great game. What really impresses me, is that is playable on my rather old box (Duron 800, Geforce 2 MX). OK, it’s just in 640*480, but it works, is reasonably fast, and great fun.

Just heard on the news, that an alarming amount of kids in Germany are overweight. And what does the government plan to do against it? They want to ban advertising of sweets and high-fat food.
Riiight, because the only reason that kids eat so much is because of advertising. WTF happened to parents and raising your kids, telling them not to eat so much junk food and generally being responsible?

Just heard this on the news, and after some searching, came upon this link:
roxettenews.com
The lead singer from Roxette, Marie Fredriksson, has been diagnosed with a small brain tumour. That really sucks, I’ve always like Roxette.

People wonder why there isn’t peace in the middle east when they can’t even get their own act together…
This morning, I got into the bus at Hagen Central Station, when a guy approached the bus driver. He had a bun or something in his hand and had just bitten off a piece. Also, he did not seem to be a native German, which seems to be a factor in this tale.
He asked the driver, which bus was going to a certain station. The driver answered “Empty your mouth before asking, I don’t understand you.” To which the chewer replied “I want to know which bus goes to soandso”, still chewing.
Then the bus driver started to tell the Chewer that it was rude to talk with your mouth full, and the chewer started getting irate, since he “just wanted to know what bus to take” and “How dare you talk to me like that”.
Then the bus driver said “And I have to drive now, please leave”, which the chewer did, but not without mumbling some abuses at the bus driver when he was out the door.
You know what? Chill the fuck out!.
The bus driver is a bus driver, and not Miss Manners, even I was able to understand what the guy was asking, and I was sitting a few rows back.
And to the Chewer, man, don’t get your panties in a bunch, swallow and ask again.
But no, you both have to keep on pouring oil on the fire…
