I’m not going down to the wharf to work on the longboat today, mostly since some of the neighbours decided that heating the buildings and using electrical tools at the block’s wharf are an uneccessary luxuries that we do well without. Personally, I prefer a bit of comfort when I’m working, and I don’t really see the point of carving boats anyway. I am, however, going to enjoy the mug of coffee I just made, and it will definitely not be the last.
I’m still compliant with one of the three things associated with Swedes on the Prejudice Map from Google Blogoscoped (by way of The Presurfer). Data-mining can be interesting.

I was thinking… and it struck me that it would be kind of stupid to enter the sequence 4 8 15 16 23 42 into a lottery. Becuase then you’d end up being cursed like the people on Lost. No, that’s not it… but if you entered those numbers, and it actually happens that they are the winning numbers for the 100+ million jackpot – then you’ll feel really stupid when you realize that the jackpot will be split with the thousands of others who also used the same numbers.

Kind reminder: If the songs played is less than the downloaded songs, please make sure that the song downloaded should not be more than 500 ones.
Maybe not that funny, but wonderfully incomprehensible.
Well, when I was visiting a friend recently I noticed that the people with mp3 players seemed a bit less bored by the four hour buss ride than I was, so yesterday I decided to buy the generic cheap-n-simple 512MB player they had on offer at the the supermarket. Maybe not exactly the best, but good enough for what little travelling I do. Better than the english in the manual, I suppose. Could use better earphones, though, but that seems to be the case even with expensive stuff as well.
And more Engrish here.

Having nothing better to do, I got stuck watching a little of a Discovery Channel documentary about the construction of a new Airbus jet. It looked pretty impressive, until the head test pilot said “It’s actually quite easy to fly, almost like a bicycle.” Like a bicycle? I’m not going further than the gate if I see that plane outside – last time I checked, bicycles were as far from easy to fly as anything can be.

Took a stroll to the store earlier. Fall is in the air, a bit cool but quite pleasant anyway. I find it somewhat hard to get used to it being dark at eight in the evening, living far enough north that a few hours of dusk-dawn is what passes for night in the summer.
Got back home, turned on the TV and watched The Scorpion King. That’s not a good movie. A bit like a bloated episode of that Hercules series. You sort of know it’s bad when the dialogue is worse than the acting of the wrestler doing his first lead role…
On to the important world news: A team at the University of Munich, Germany (in this case I probably have to say: where else?), has developed a hi-tech barmat able to report to the bar when the glass needs a refill. Finally, technology in service of the the common man! And, as we all know, the common man really needs electronical aids to get more drunk.

I woke up with this wonderful feeling, something much like having been deep-throated with a grater, as well as a suspicion that same utensil had been used to grate the generous chunk of cheese which appearantly had been melted and then poured down my throat. Phlegm so thick it bounced when I spat it out. Truly glorious, cold-season is really my favorite time of year… Nice weather for it, though. All grey and dull. It’s almost so that I wouldn’t mind a bit of snow to lighten it all up.
Well, not much more going on today, I’m on my way back to the book waiting by the bed.
