there goes my shit

Since 10 days or something close to that I've been having serious diarrhea. It started with feeling realy sick, now the sick feeling is fainting away (still feeling very tired and empty). Finaly I was able to get an appointment with my doctor today, and he is thinking I have a virus, infection or maybe salmonella piosoning. So I have to give my shit to the lab tomorrow :) and wait a few days to get the result..... and hopefully I will be getting medication then to stop this shit!

The money was of course less then the what this mp3 player costs :) So my choice was easy.

Casema sucks

*Sigh* I have cable internet and my provider is Casema because here we don’t have a choice it's Casema or its no cable internet..... And today I experienced again how much Casema sucks!! First I lost my connection and couldn't connect to them (with pppoe), so I called the helpdesk to check if there were some problems in my town with cable internet, nope there weren't, but the guy on the other end of the phone was so smart to ask me if my windows might have crashed?!!?#@$$? WINDOWS??@#$%##@? Sorry dear helpdesk person I am using a MAC, with Mac os!!! So he asked which version because they don’t support all versions, and guess what, they don't support OSX!! Suckers..... (sorry for the language). So he was not allowed to help me by phone but I could always email them with questions.... how on earth can I email them if my connection is down????? Then I wanted their administration desk on the phone because of wanting the invoices of what they have withdrawn from my account till now, so I can get that money back at work (they will for my internet connection). Of course they couldn't put me back in the telephone choice menu so I had to dial again. *dial dial dial* er zijn nog 11 wachtende voor u (translation: there are 11 waiting calls before you) and then again you get some lovely music..... 15 minutes later I get the most stupid guy of that department on the phone I think. Invoice? Invoices? No we don't send them, but you can send us a letter asking for a total invoice at the end of the year and then you get a letter back in which is standing all the withdrawals we did from your account.....
CASEMA SUCKS!!!

stupid me

I can be so stupid :)
This afternoon I decided to repair/remodel some clothes so I put the sewing machine on the table and started working. At some point I saw that the fabric of the trousers I was working on didn't move the way I wanted it to so I thought lets help, and pushed it towards the needle.... But my finger came to close to the needle and that needle went straight through the top of my finger :( (damn that hurts!) Its one hour later now and it has stopped bleeding, the pain is less also, I only feel my heartbeat in my fingertop atm. Hopefully I didn't harm anything in my finger with this stupid action or get an infection in my finger. BTW the trousers look great (you can't see the blood on the black material :).

Red Dragon

Tonight I saw the movie Red Dragon.
Good good movie, again a good story and don't forget good actors (Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton....). No wonder it is rated a 7.8 at IMDB atm.

wanted: tickets for Mark Knopfler

My parents told me they would really like to go to Mark Knopfler who will be giving 3 concerts in Amsterdam in May 2003. But I am 1 day too late to get tickets, all 3 concerts are sold out (last tickets were sold yesterday!).
So if someone has tickets and can't go, I would like to buy them :))

stupid traffic jam

Every day I travel from home to Amsterdam (south) and back, and almost everyday I may enjoy 1 or 2 traffic jams. Having no traffic jams is a very unique situation which happens only 1 a month or even less.
Most of the time they are on the highway. But today it was in the town where I live in. A traffic jam in a little town is very strange, so you start to wonder, was there an accident?? fire? No nothing of this all. This morning they were putting up the x-mass lights in town......*sigh*

Osbournes 'regret' TV show

Sharon Osbourne, whose family reality TV series The Osbournes has been a major ratings hit in the US, says she wishes she had never let MTV cameras into her home. Osbourne, rocker Ozzy's wife and manager, told the ABC network that the second 10-episode series of The Osbournes would be the last. She said the cameras were "invasive" and left the family with "no privacy".
The show The Osbournes has made heavy-metal star Ozzy, Sharon and two of their children, teenagers Kelly and Jack, into household names. Osbourne said the show - which drew record ratings for MTV this spring - had changed her family "so much". Her children, she said, now had lawyers and business managers.
"This is definitely the last year," Osbourne said. "We can't do it anymore."

no more crazy osbournes on TV :(
