Almost two weeks. And we still haven't done everything we wanted to do.

So you might return next year?

Yep, along with the other shit to get things installed.

But the boxes still are as huge as they used to be. At least, most of the time. Kind of silly if all you find in the big box is a single CD-Rom.

Well, the size of the box for my new router is reasonable. However, the speed performance could be better in most areas.

He looks rather flat. That's my bigger concern about him.

People trample around on him all day.

I feel really sorry for him.

I don't watch cricket so that makes things even trickier.

Watching Cricket is even more boring than watching Baseball. That's saying something.

I may have a game of cricket with Coop for laughs.

Say, I never asked this but how does it feel knowing we no longer have the shitblade?

All lager is piss anyway. Being the best wee in the world still only makes it wee, Premier Danish brand or not.

I was happy with the start of the season yesterday, despite Lewis' problem, with Vettel sneaking past under the Safety Car. Damn bad luck.

For some reason I was awake at around 8am, so I just watched the race. Or, I turned on the TV to a station that showed the race and then I used my Netbook to surf around the internet. >_>

Sky is showing some of the races, but I don't get that. I watch the BBC coverage, when it's live. Just got to wait for Monaco.

Don't have Sky either. RTL covers the races for I think over 20 years now.

We've had the BBC do it since the 1950s / 60s and then ITV took over for about a decade in the late 90s, before the BBC got it back 2 years ago. Now F1 has sold out to Sky and the Beeb only gets about 10 races of live coverage.

RTL is a free TV station and they cover the whole race (except for the commercial breaks). I even can watch the HD broadcast for free. But in a few weeks my cable network is going to change that. They want me to pay 4,99 Euros per month so I can watch a few TV stations in HD. Totally not worth it...

I'll admit the box is iffy but if you imagine it as something so powerful you cannot see what's inside it, it works. I too find the new golden icons to be weaker than the older ones but if they had kept a sword or two other than "The NG sword", it would be a lot better. Replace the silly angry face staff with one of them.
