Yes, I will post something proper again, but until then...

A guy named Michael posted this in comment on the sabotages train in India:

"They will never be truly civilized until they kill off the violent."

I'm... at a loss for words at the irony.

Too rude for Facebook - today's update

Sympathy I can handle.

Pity will make me kick you in the balls or punch you in the tit.

I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven

Unfortunately, since my life is a permanent state of crazy and I also suffer from chronic mommy's brain, I forgot to get the lottery tickets which would win me 10K euros per month for the rest of my life. Which puts a bit of a damper on finishing this list:

Florida (one week in Miami)
California (numerous)
Nevada (hey, one night at a casino still counts)
Georgia (driving through, mostly)
Tennessee (Bonnaroo)
Washington (Gorge, Seattle)
Texas (four days in Dallas)
Minnesota (La GM)

Soon I'll be adding Kentucky (driving through) and Indiana, but it's still quite pathetic. I'm not even halfway. I'm not counting Illinois and DC because those where just the airports. So I'm thinking I need to rent an RV and at least travel down the East Coast. Or up. With the kid.

What can I say, I live for dreams like this.

I had a great weekend - 30th was Queen's Day so you could say I had my fill of orange (until the WC starts). The garbage men were on strike, that was fun. Went to the Queen's Fair anyway, kid had a blast. It was raining, but it always is.

Starting tomorrow, my company is fronting a complaint against some decision the European Committee made. And since I'll be handling press... Wish me luck. Better yet, wish me the end of this head cold, the start of smartness and loads of stamina :)

I miss you.
