Someone tell me why why WHY European Union is making it okay to patent software? Noooooooo, I want to be able to download all my stupid lil software programs as much as I like....Goddammit.

Then again, a funny bit has occured: Microsoft is sued by Forgent for supposedly infringing their patent through the use of JPEG files. Haha....Ironic. Forgent must make a lot of money then. By a lot, I mean, A LOT.

Then a small evil part of me realises that if I could grab a hold of Microsoft and Adobe's balls and threaten to PULL...I'd be rich. Very rich. Selfish, but too rich to give a shit about you lot because hey, I'll be in my big personal gaz guzzling stretch limo while the rest of you are stuck with software from big companies that you'd probably end up using all the time once you realise that all others are shite in comparison.

Or something.

New discovery- It makes it very difficult for your parents to take you seriously when you've had this playlist on repeat:

Addams Family (*click click*)
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Batman (to the Batmobile, let's go! Dududududududu dududududu Batmaaaaan!)
Captain Planet (Earth...Fire...Wind...Water...Heart....he's a hero)
Fresh Prince of Bel Air (Will Smith in his bad hair days)
Gummi bears (gummybeary juice, upon retrospect, quite suggestive. Quick! Anti gay activists! Rescue the innocent minds!)

[ We all know gay people, when exposed to radiation, will become modern day Hitlers with bad facial hair excluded - old school style will be to become a green raging monster, but it's really so unstylish to burst your pant seams. By this theory, everytime I go near a nuclear site I transform into Bush. ]

He-Man (By the power of greyskull.....Yes I had a crush on him. Leave me alone)
Looney Tunes
Scooby Doo (Nessa told me they changed the theme song to a Simple Plan one. Blashphemy).

Among all the tv themes I have, I'll say that He-Man easily makes the most cringe-worthy one. Download it for yourself here and see what I mean.

This is news from my hometown:

"IPOH: Perak Mufti Datuk Seri Harussani Zakaria has suggested that people with AIDS and avian influenza be cast away on an island to ensure they do not infect others."

"Harussani added that he had during a medical seminar about six years ago suggested that those with AIDS be cast away on an island but added that his suggestion received negative response as those present felt that it was an inhumane act to do so."

Explanation: Mufti means religious leader, Perak is the state Ipoh (a city) is in, the Datuk fella is not making his first boo-boo, and Lainie says lets send all the hugely unpopular / extremly stupid people looking for attention onto said island.

Read on The Star Online (link only valid for a few days).

It's people like these that make me balk when Fip and Sanj said something about compulsory AIDs tests for pregnant women. I mean...I see the point....But then again...I don't want to be tracked by the government, though really, all they'd have to do is read my blog.

Next up, I bribed a policeman today, instead of receiving a traffic summons. He doodled my details on a notepad (instead of the actual summons), told me he had to get ten summons a day issued out or his boss would give him hell, and kept asking me "so what would you like to do?" repeatedly. Finally paid him a small sum, and he added the words "remember, you were the one who said you wanted help first". Whatever. Hmmm...they're getting sneakier.

These were the cops at the Jusco shopping mall, bt the way. Oily guys, and I'm not talking about their hair. I saw them yell at some woman riding a motorcycle, and they had a chuckle about it before diverting their attention back to me, supplier of their teh-tarik money for the rest of the month.

[ teh tarik - milky tea, local style, mixed by pouring it from one can to another, looks great. ]

Bought lots of cheapy flip flops that will probably be responsible for my bruises on a rainy day, a pair of black shoes that are a bit too guyish for me now that I think about it. I saw a pair I really liked at BATA, which is a local chain of shoe shops known for its school shoes and zero coolness factor. I don't really care where my stuff comes from. Unfortunately, they didn't have my feet. I feel like I have elephant feet sometimes, my size is too big for the usual range here.

Have also got myself a new pair of spectacles, finally. I look kinda nerdy in them, and everytime I want to check out my new specs my eyebrows make me scowl. Honestly, they're goddamned hairy by now, anymore and I'll have six. Have also been searching for my face mask which has mysteriously vanished, like many things in my life nowadays.

Fip and I had a talk over the phone yesterday, and she said she'd feel funny if I kissed another girl while playing Truth or Dare, because I might like it - I don't actually think that's a possibility, but okay, I am dating a girl now and I didn't think of it as possible either.

Then I don't know where the direction of the conversation was heading because our viewpoints are so different, so I told her how she must try to think. My imagery, which I described to her was:

You are on a field, and looking out into the horizon...Instead, you should be out in space looking onto the field, which is a part of the globe.

I swear to god, she wouldn't stop laughing for ages. Upon reflections, there were many better ways for me to tell her what I meant, but what I said last night still makes perfect sense to me, goddammit. All my philosophy was summarised down by Fip to "I'm direct, you're not"...which, I admit, is rather accurate.

Pffft.

Guess what? I have good news to share with y'all! After nine years of procrastination I have finally torn down all the posters on one side of my room. I thought I'd take some time to have a proper look at the posters of (sadly) prepubescent boys that have stuck on my wall for over a decade, but the moment my fingers curled around the top edge of the first poster...Well, they're all gone now.

Room decors coming up soon!

Woo!

Now I'm off to look nerdy with my new spectacles. Ooooh yeah.
