Found this by coincidence and really loved it:
"A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids (20 photos)"
Also, it's never a good thing when you sign up for an online learning system**, and - after clicking the access link from the billing email - get nothing but an error message from the website... har har. The site was up again the next day, but man, no joy.
[** _THE_ only available one, 60 bucks instead of 40 for the disc, but the dvd does not work on a mac and only crawls in the emulators.]

... I just accidentally switched into an episode of Supernatural (one where the guys check into a psychiatric clinic to find a ghost that sucks out brain juice), and... brrr! These monster faces are too scary for me!! Especially when home alone in a large, dark flat. I used to love the x-files, so I don't know... maybe it's the occult satanism references that I just can't handle (because x-files had plenty of uglies as well... or maybe I'm getting old)?
*shivers silently in a corner*
Edit: The worst is - I can't switch it off! Ahhhhh!

Sorry, I haven't really been on the computer in the last days, but will catch up this week.
I've just been watching a documentary on Jonestown before going to bed (where they play the 45 min. live suicide audio tape), and it disturbed me so much I had to get up again. Whoever can do that to children is just not human. Sects in general are dangerous, but this extent is extremely unsettling to watch or read about. True that humans can do a lot of beautiful things, but for every excellence of beauty or kindness exists the polar opposite share of disgusting acts.
I had to watch this ("worst" ice skater) to lighten my mood enough for getting to sleep again.
(*Edit* Next try to find rest: clean out bathroom box with dusty bottles etc. @_@)

These are sort of tasteless, too (although the first design is aesthetically nice until you know what it is supposed to be).
This Pearl Necklace is exactly what you think it is and not of the sort of pearls found in the sea.
Obviously I shouldn't be surprised since there's people who would wear jewellery, shaped like more or less realistic vulvae (and who wants to wear vulvae earrings? Isn't having one enough?!), and women who paint with menstrual blood collected in Diva cups, but still... :x
The same artist also offers a tableware set modeled after the digestive tract here (Consumption) , and while I don't dislike the idea of displaying anatomical images on everyday things at all, this simply doesn't look appetizing. Maybe it's because the woman you are asked to scroll over in order to view the dishes looks like a corpse found in the next riverbed. :x
Stuff like that is harmless, of course, and doesn't shock me, but I'm amazed that people would possibly buy any of these!
Thanks to Dr. Grumpy for these!

At least I suppose everyone does. What might that be? As someone else mentioned, it's the horrible sinking feeling that the shit is going to (or has) hit the fan.
In my case, it was the rhythmical whirring and clicking of my harddrive last week. Goodbye, dear friend. >:'(
Luckily Apple was lenient and replaced it although the warranty expired a month ago. That sort of action is filed under "ensuring customer happiness" (it says something aling these lines on the internal print out from the techs).
Breaking the system (10.5) in will take a while. Also, I'm just recovering from three weeks filled with a nasty whooping cough that turned into an even nastier bronchitis, so don't be surprised of my absence. *groans* Of course all that had to happen the moment I was going to return to lectures. Grr.

| » And it ends. |

I've finished reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, and I must say I liked it. Surely it's not a grand masterpiece, but none of the books is, in my opinion. They're all good, though, and a nice, enjoyable easy reading. I love decent books that allow you to immerse yourself in the story for hours and hours - I used to read the books at my big sister's when I was cat-sitting (the last is the only one I actually bought on my own).
( Contains substantial spoilers without being a thorough review. )
Now that I've read it as the last person to do that, I can't remember who of you read and reviewed parts of it; if you could link me to your entries, I'd like to read them - even small rants are fine to entertain me and help me understand what other people squeed or grumbled about!

| » I... fap? *fap fap* |

I just got a message about this unfortunate-named business, ifap service, with the slogan, "ifap - knowing what helps". They offer a freeware iPhone app (simply called something along the line of 'medicine topical') that lists all prescription and pharmacy-only-drugs in Germany. So, if you're a medical student with an iPhone, I bet you could use this app to really score with your mad pharma-product skills... and that might, depending on your personality, really be enough to fap about.
Brought to you by ifap.
Tired minds are easily amused. ;)

This is tragic and fucking stupid and I'm still mortified. If the adults weren't the main responsible ones (although the "kids" were between thirteen and as much as seventeen!!), this would be a clear case for the Darwin Award. If you can't swim, don't plan your family festivities near a river and play in the water...!?!?!?!! :-(((((((
Six Teens drown in Lousiana River
Man saves one teen, six drown.
