The New Voyager

By the way, Zaak...



I am ashamed to say..

Whilst I am still a massive fanboy of the old Voyagers

I do kinda like this new one a little better than I did before.

Except from the back, it's ugly as.

888

So 8 is lucky in China, and today is 8/08/08.
No surprises then that the Beijing Olympics begin today
But who am I kidding, everyone in the damn world knows that
I shouldn't be writing such pointless information
But who cares, it's my damn blog!
Which, I might add, has to some degree replaced the journal which I have attempted to keep over the past couple of years
Which would be fine,
Apart from the unfortunate fact that I ramble about absolutely nothing for most of it
Which I'm currently doing
Which will most likely discourage people from reading this
Which.. in turn.. may not be such a bad idea
Because then.. I could post whatever I wanted
Divulge all my feelings
Secrets
Things that happen which I don't want people to know about
But..
Alas..
This being the internet
At least someone is guaranteed to read this
No matter how crappy it is
Which...in this case, epic crapness comes to mind.

BUT ANYWAY
I probably had something else to say
OH
Production
Now..
I saw Anything Goes last night, the school production this year.
And I have to say,
Zaak and I both came to the conclusion that it is epic.
Very impressive cast, minus a couple..
But overall, brilliant.
Awesome orchestra, also.
There were a huge amount of technical screw-ups, but all due to crappy failing equipment, not crappy failing operators..haha

So here we are, it's 22:00 on the dot and the Olympics are starting
Why?
Because they are.
Ohgod my Firefox thinks it's going to be 5 degrees and snowing here on Sunday
Somehow..I doubt that.
However, I will post something about it if it does happen.
BACK TO THE OLYMPICS
For whatever reason, China is trying to out-do every other Olympics ever
And apparently I should watch it because it will help me be able to give examples for my English Language stuff
But I disagreed, with "There's nothing linguistic about floating rings."
Ah dear.

Today
Flick and I made some of the most brilliant desserts ever
Cherry cheesecake..
A chocolate and strawberry tart of sorts..
AND
Zaak gingerbread.
Yes, that's right..
Gingerbread that had 'ZAAK' carved into it.

Unfortunately we didn't really get to sample the former two in full, but tomorrow..
Ohh..
It's going to be an epic feast.

And in closing..
A quote from last night's production..

"And if, to come home you fail...
I'll open all your mail..
SO
Buddy..
Beware!"

E65 > iPhone

Zaak.. this is your fault.

I have decided, to compare my E65 to an iPhone.
This is of course in favor of Maddox, who compared his Nokia E70 to an iPhone
He makes such arguments that I agree with and can adapt to my E65, including..
-my E65 has Wi-Fi, and a web browser
-it plays MP3's
-it supports Flash/Java, UNLIKE the iPhone
-it does MMS (which I had on my 6220 in 2003)
-it records voice, which can then be set as a ringtone or whatever (which Motorola's don't do either, by the way)
-voice dialling? COME ON! My crappy Nokia 3330 (made in 2001) had voice dialling (the fact that I hardly use it is irrelevant.. I used it once to call Stacey a couple of weeks ago)
-my E65 slides, much to the amusement of a certain Zaak..
-E65 has GPS now also, but only because I bought a GPS receiver (still wouldn't be nearly as expensive as an iPhone)

I had a few more points to make...
But they shall have to be added later.

RAWR!

E65 FTW.
