    We've just got back from the cinema, haven't been in a long time it was most enjoyable even if we had seen the film before. Thought I'd pop on here while my better half makes us beverage and then I found this link on the news webpage.

    Have a gander it's disgusting HERE. This is in England they call it American style? Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? If it's truly something that happens else where I'd be very surprised.

    Dem Yankees invented many things. Over-eating, obesity, super-size etc. I think that breakfast is disgustingly huge. Certainly American style!

    On a similar note, I think there is some burger place somewhere that serves a meal that people have had heart attacks from just by eating it. There is even a warning sign on the menu that it is quite deadly!

    I just finished reading the manga GTO - I began during the week. Great !

    Yeah I know mangas are mainly entertainment and often quite far from being artistic work. But the good ones still leave such a great impression on me. They make the world they take place in seem amazing, particularly when they're shonens. Even when, like GTO, they try to deal with social problems.
    This is definitely an "escapist reading", but I still love that (once in a while. I often read mangas when I'm bored during vacations).

    Such a shame that the real world is seemingly so boring hehe

    Cooked an omelette for the first time in my life. Was also the first time I have ever cooked anything other than toast without parent supervision. It took me about an hour to figure out what goes in and how much. I had to get my five year old sister (eleven year old's at school) to help me, but in the end I was happy with what I managed. It looked like a cane toad that had been squashed in one of those press-iron things, but it tasted alright.

    EDIT: what the hell happened to this font???

    • Anssi Karttunen, cello
    • Gustavo Gimeno, slagwerk
    • Herman Rieken, slagwerk
    • Kari Kriikku, klarinet
    • Ralph van Raat, piano
    • Rijnvos
      • Antarctique
    • Saariaho
      • Circle Map
    • Lindberg
      • Kraft
    • Boulez
      • Rituel in memoriam Maderna
    http://www.concertgebouworkest.nl/pa...=2012&m=6&d=22

    Oh and the tickets were a free gift from the orchestra for our continued support!

    Oh, also, remember how I mentioned that the hotel manager at the Montego Bay in Wendover, NV gave me her business card and told me to call her if I was ever in Wendover? Well, today, a marketing consultant at Idaho Promotions Group gave me her business card and told me that if I was ever in Boise, she could hook me up with tickets. So I guess I've got show tickets in Boise and either a room or a job in Wendover.

    I guess tips don't always come as cash.

    Also, Twitter is crazy. @wilw (Wil Wheaton, actor for Wesley Crusher on ST: TNG) is followed by, among others, @PromoteIdaho (the aforementioned Idaho Promotions Group), @almightygod (self-explanatory), @TaraStrong (voice actress for numerous cartoons and video games), and @KopachrisMedia (me).

    My arachnophobia starts to annoy me. I wake up 1-2 times every night, thinking a spider is crawling on me, or is right over my face.

    When I was about seven or eight years old that happened to me. Woke up with a swollen face and had to go to hospital.
