The Symmetry Scandal

Last friday after a few tries, we downed Mr. Maggy! Was a nice night, yet again, proud of you all ^^ Now lets kick some SSC ass tonight ;)

In 2 days it's Queensday here in Holland, lot's of people go out on the streets selling their old stuff and there is lots of music and bands everywhere. Night before a lot of people go to big party's etc. Not me! Few friends are coming over for diner and we will play some munchkin. Really looking forward to it.

Friday I am going to Almelo(ooooooo), friend of mine lives there, Ruud (AnendirT) will be staying over there and the next day we are going to Animecon 2008. Really looking forward to it since I heard so many good story's about it. then sometimes that weekend we will probably head back to Amsterdam.. wooho! Really a lovely week, been looking forward to it for quite a while :D

Oh and tonight I will get my new phone (Iphone :D:D) so I will brag and flash it around from time to time *beam*

My internet is fixed! Would have posted sooner but was quite busy with the many good sides of internet :P More tomorrow!

This has got to be one of the best movies I have ever seen. I can't get the story out of my head, the movie always leaves me feeling physically sick. (Is that a good thing? yes.) Anyway, The movie is about drug addiction and the different reasons behind it. It starts off as a pretty solid story, but along the way the movie splits in 4 different story's with 4 different reasons and from the person's view.
What I loved about the movie when I saw it the first time is that at the end I couldn't tell you a turning point, I couldn't see where it all went wrong since it goes so gradually, just like a "real" addiction I think.

Another part I really loved is the soundtrack, it makes you feel awkward while watching and sometimes it's even demonic or sad. Done by Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet. It really makes the atmosphere and the story's of the movie better.

This movie leaves you watching the credits in silence, thinking about the whole thing. You want to share it to people, although it is not a the most pleasant experience. Still, it is one to watch.

Normally a little story forms in my head before I write the blog but now because of the stupid internet, it's kinda gone >< Don't get me wrong, I do have a sort of real life (who am I kidding huh? -.-')
Had an amazing weekend, lots of fun and been playing some of my old games (read non MMO) like Serious Sam. Oh how I loved the game on the xbox, hours and hours I played it. But since my xbox died a horrible dead a year ago, I had to play the Gamecube version. Playing it Co-op with Olli and after a night of hours and hours of fun... It doesnt save in multiplayer.... omg.. no.. I was SO enjoying it.. but to play EVERY level first in single player only to let it be saved till next time.. no... thanks...

Ok so we played Heroes 3 (someone remember that?!) awesome 2d-ish action, perfect. So after we are exploring kingdoms, slaying dragons for hours and hours.. corrupt save... GAAH :( Ah well, lets start over.. (Campaign is SO addictive!!!!) When I start thinking about it now, there is a third one. Started playing Tomb Raider 2. (square old Lara, YUM) Used to LOVE the game, I think I played it through 5 or 6 times. So in 3 seconds (after some jumping mistakes) Im finished with the first level. (WITH T-rex ofc ^^) So the movie starts to play, the bad guy dies and.. ehm hmm.. you need a new .exe version to get to the second level.. Right, no internet to look what this actually is, so that's yet another game to put on the pile of CRAP :'(

I personally think it's a conspiracy of microsoft (duh?) to let us play new games xD okok, serious, what's up with the new platforms not being able to play the old games, makes me a Sad Sushi :(

On a more serious note, internet MIGHT be up tomorrow, doubt it somehow :(
Oh and good luck to two friends of mine tonight, one with working longer without the dorfie for poking and one with cooking! May the spoon be with you!

At the end of last year I was switching internet providers, brave move, but I heard a lot of good stuff about Tele 2 AND I would get a free laptop <3 My old provider would stop at 31 december and the new one would be available the 2nd of january, my old provider stayed on till the 7th thank god since I got confirmation that Tele 2 would be late with a few days. after the few days, you might have guessed it, nothing! To make a long story short, half of february I had my internet back. Lovely Service!!

A week ago on monday, I was just having a conversation with my mum on the phone, wanted to go on checking my e-mail after she hung up and the internet had no connection. Got a bit annoyed since my router fucks up a lot, so went to restart it, nothing after it. Went fiddling with the wires since they aren't in the best shape, nothing.
So I called Tele 2 and they did a test! yes, a test! to check if it was my modem or that the phoneline itself was failing. The woman said this: "I think you should take better care of your modem since there is nothing wrong with the line" wich pissed me off quite a bit since who is she to tell me to take better care of my stuff? xD She asked me what was the best time for me to be called back by the helpdesk, told her after 5 every workday, so ofcourse the next day they call me at 12 at my work ;)

Anyway, since i couldn't see what was going wrong I asked my mum's boyfriend to take a look, we tried 3 or 4 modems (yes I have a collection!!) and nothing seemed to work. He called the helpdesk again and they told him again that they would perform a test and he would be called back after. So I muttered something about, test wont help they already did that, and like they will call you back :S After 2 minutes he got called back (./gasp) and told them that there was no signal on the line. (ehm, didnt the girl tell me it was my fault and there was nothing wrong withthe line?) If I'm lucky (lol?!) I will have internet again by friday, if not (duh) 3 weeks.

Came home, sat down behind my laptop and... NO.. nonono...! Internet.. stopped.. working..
Ok this isnt so bad, just restart the modem, it will be ok *restart* ok it won't be ok, crap.. ehm try restart again.. no nothing, call the company? "You do not use the modem we gave to you, we can not help you" Ah yes, the modem that didnt work in the first place, no im not using it so now because they give me a faulty device, they can't help me, don't you love providers? <3><><><

However, good side on the having no internet as well! Me and Olli (Crunchy) did some changes in my house now :D It's gonna look so cool, it already looks more spacious wich is what I wanted. Thursday hopefully Im going to the Ikea to get my new desk and maybe bookcase. Dali and Sibbe (my two mental cats) were all happy and scared with the changes, they were trying out everything ( as in, jumping on it, breaking stuff, etc..!) ah well, at least they like it ^^
