As a side message. I have new cell phone, Vivaz they call it, and currently fighting with eminently strong desire to kill anyone responsible for how was symbian implemented in there.

Cool. Ever get tempted? Perhaps on a night out with lots of booze? ;|

So it wasn't just that it was slightly used, it was downright decrepit? Caveat emptor, indeed.

On smoking, it's a clear sign I've had enough, if you see ME smoking. Had a cig on friday, after a couple of gin'tonics, a bottle of sake, and a "few" beers... after that events are unclear.

Smoking a cigarette might have been the least of your daredevilries then. :D

I wanna play X3, but unfortunately, I'm at work and I can't go home until about 21:00 tonight because I have to lead an exam. :( (maybe I'll just give them all top marks and tell them to go home?)

Oh yeah, happens quite a lot when I drink. Once in a while, if the booze is plentyful, I will have a cigarette or two. But I don't mind. It's getting rid of the everyday smoking that really made me happy. But some people can't stick to just one cigarette here and there once in a while at a party, so you have to figure out whether you can or not.

Even though I hate suggesting self-help-books, I'd actually suggest you read a book by Allan Carr called "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking".... it just explains things very simply and it helps :)

Yeah. Accordingly to investigation, there's a third company which is responsible to check if all bought items are being sent, and that's where the problem occured. An employee exchanged the new computer for that junk, trying to keep the same weight, so not to rise any questions. Was the thief thinking that he would get away with it? :?

I'm calm now...although we are going to sue and mess with that company if they don't solve my problem: I still need a computer.

Poor Panda! It can be so frustrating trying to deal with companies on the phone.

I've been fighting with the Phone Company. They don't seem to believe that I disconnected that service when I switched over to another provider.

That's hard to prove, isn't it, big sister?

I learned that I'll record a movie when I'm opening my mail box with the new PC, just to be sure that, if I open and another junk appears they are going to have a pandass problem!

Eating green grapes, raisins (Sunmaid...yaay, reminds me of being little) and mentos with liquorice (how the hell do you spell that?!) taste. Wonder if my stomach is gonna turn on me in a couple of hours? ;| :P

Been at work for a few hours. Back outside now to enjoy the lovely weather for as long as the pollen concentration will allow.

You get that too? I take a Zyrtec every morning for about a month and try really hard not to itch my eyes too much. I look forward to being able to breathe normally again.

Whoa, I'm upgrading to Ableton Live Intro 8.1.3, which is requiring with its all free content over 8GB of space. Looks like serious game! :P

Found a spider in the bathroom sink today. A big one. Initially, I thought: aow, that sure is a big spider. Then I thought: what the hell are you doing in the sink? Lots of insects to catch there?

Back from the wilds of Alabama.

Bought 4 knock off versions of the Topsy Turvy.

I'm going to plant tomatoes, bell peppers and some spices on my back porch at work. I'm very curious to see if these silly upside down planters actually work.
