Orlando absolutely rocked again. On Saturday the Kennedy Space Centre was just amazing. Today (or Sunday), the Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios were just plain fantastic. Although after going on just about every ride there was, and going on “The Hulk” rollercoaster 3 times and the Dueling Dragons rollercoaster twice, I can safely say my voice will not be with me tomorrow (oops, I mean later on today). I wouldn’t be surprised if I slept all day through Monday. Hell man, I gotta get to sleep. ...

Well, the reasonably worksafe ones are here

Heh, I know statistics can be used and abused to make any point, but I couldn’t help but chuckle at this table showing US state, IQ and who they voted for. Also, another table showing US state, average income, and who they voted for

I got angry at my iTrip on the way to Key West. I was pi$$ed off with its poor transmission range and the fact I had to keep on changing the radio tuning. I guess it’s because there are so many radio stations here in Florida, and to give it some credit it seemed to work better the further away we got from Miami. But that didn’t stop me from hacking it apart and trying to liberate the aerial. ...

Sorta got a big weekend planned. I’m leaving tonight with a work mate to go to Orlando. Tomorrow we’re going to visit the Kennedy Space Centre and probably kick on to downtown Orlando for some nightclub action. Sunday we’re supposed to be visiting Universal Studios, and then it’s back home Sunday night. Rock on!

Talk about a trip down memory lane. I found this website that had scans of the original Zelda 2 manual from all those years ago. I remember playing it when it came out, and it was the best game ever. I was so innocent back then that even this picture from the manual wouldn’t have raised an eyebrow.

I’m sitting here watching TV, monitoring the Internet here and I just can’t believe what is going on with this freaking election. I’m trying to understand why so many people are still supporting Bush, globally seen as being an incumbent fool. I was talking to some Americans today who I thought were quite well versed with what was going on in the world, and they’re voting Bush. I’m like (swear word warning) “what the hell are you doing that for? You’re being fucken lied to! Where the fuck do you get your information from???” Ok, I didn’t say that but I put it through a nice language filter so they didn’t get too offended. And yes, politicians lie - but can you really top the Bush administration? Lying to go to war? Nobody could answer my question by the way. I got these paltry answers of “going by gut feeling”, “choosing the lesser of two evils” (WTF?). I just don’t understand. ...

I just watched Senator John Kerry give his concession speech, and I thought it was just amazing. I nearly caught myself saying “Go America!”, and temporarily forgot that he wasn’t going to be President. He sure spoke and acted like one. Damn.

I didn’t get up to that much. I got some good sleep on a water bed Friday night but had to have a cold shower Saturday morning. I watched a parade Saturday night. I got about 1 or 2 hours of sleep in the back of a car Sunday morning. I bailed a friend out of jail Sunday afternoon and then went home Sunday night. A pretty standard Key West experience. ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! from Kristian.
