Things you wanted to say......

2012 so far:

01/2012: Jazz class series: 4 weeks jazz history with Miles Davis' carreer as a starting point + un concerto
02-03/2012: Beginners course wine tasting - 5 weeks
01/2012 - 06/2012: Finishing 3rd bachelor philosophy
01/2012 - 06/2012: Beginners course in debt mediation - 11 days over 6 months, for work

Looks pretty interesting!

Yes, it looks like an interesting year 2012 for you. Hope you enjoy those activities a lot, Andy.

Makes me think I should do something... I'm waiting for someone to call me for at least a job interview (I thought in Christmas they would need someone but I'm still waiting). Maybe I should do a beginners beer tasting course . I wanted to do a cooking course (to work later in something related) but those people haven't called me either. So I've been playing bass all the afternoon

I would encourage you to do almost anything and everything, as long as it's at least remotely within your field of interest.
I don't like to be sitting at home too much anymore. Being out, meating people, getting in touch with new ideas, personalities.
I just love all that and feel that it is an incredibly positive force in my life.

Maybe I could plan a trip to Rioja-region - where Calatrava has built an absolutely gorgeous winehouse and some of my absolute favorite wines were born - where we could get into some wine stuff together! You drink it red, I hope?

haha yes, I drink it red... I've never been to La Rioja. A friend visited it recently (visiting winehouses) and hated it, but that was her...

I know, the worst thing is to be at home doing almost nothing... your abilities deteriorate

...my computer was invaded by something malicious called 'root kit' (or something like that).
I think me and the malware have defeated it...but you never know

The Sony BMG CD copy protection rootkit scandal concerns the copy protection measures included by Sony BMG on Compact Discs in 2005. Sony BMG included the Extended Copy Protection (XCP) and MediaMax CD-3 software on music CDs. XCP was put on 52 titles[1] and MediaMax was put on 50 titles.[2] This software was automatically installed on Windows desktop computers when customers tried to play the CDs. The software interferes with the normal way in which the Microsoft Windows operating system plays CDs by installing a rootkit which creates vulnerabilities for other malware to exploit. This was discovered and publicly revealed by Mark Russinovich on the Sysinternals blog. Other operating systems were not affected.

As a result, a number of parties have filed lawsuits against Sony BMG; the company ended up recalling all the affected CDs; and greater public attention was drawn to the issue of commercially-backed spyware and rootkits. Additionally, further investigation revealed that Sony had created its copyright protection software, in part, using LAME code, violating the GNU Lesser General Public License,[3] and VLC code written by Jon Lech Johansen and Sam Hocevar, violating the GNU General Public License.

Occasionally I wonder how things are going with Ariël Sharon.

Occasionally, I wonder if Chuck Manson has hopes and dreams.

I'm gonna try to learn a bit of Arab.

First I think I should learn the alphabet...

Here's the first letter, "alif", for you all

wiki

Written as ا, spelled as ألف and transcribed as ʾalif is the first letter in Arabic and Perso-Arabic alphabet.

Together with Hebrew Aleph, Greek Alpha and Latin A, it is descended from Phoenician ʾāleph, from a reconstructed Proto-Canaanite ʾalp "ox".

I'm sure Moony will help us to pronounce it properly (IPA...)

This looks like a good place to learn the alphabet http://www.arabic-alphabet.org

Majnoon radjul !

I have a toothache... it's not a very intense pain but I feel it every five seconds and everytime I feel it it makes me worried and it makes me feel guilty God knows about what...

Awch ... I had that done about a year or 4 ago.
Phase 1 ended with me getting something called a 'necrose' while my regular dentist was on a holiday.
Seriously: a few hours of that type of pain are more than enough to start considering suicide - and I think I'm really not the type who's easily upset over pain.

You take good care of the Mrs, Mr. Pinz!

endodontist? not just a dentist? why?

How is she?

My tooth seems to not ache today (I don't think it's serious... I'll go to the dentist anyway)
but I already had my ration of pain today with laser hair removal... it smells like when you burn chickens hair

^ that sounds like literature of polar exploration.
Good luck as you venture in the frozen land with no computers

It's not been the same since buchygod quit the scene.

Yesterday I went to bed at midnight and today I woke up at midday... that's half a day sleeping and when I sleep so much I just feel sleepy

I don't know what the weather's like where you are, Vera, but it's a comparatively mild winter so far here in London. That hasn't stopped me contracting the sleeping sickness bug, too. I've been dragging myself into work on automatic pilot and sleepwalking my way through my (thankfully not very onerous) duties.

Must be a dormant hiberation chromosone kicking in.

Here it is very cold at night and during the day light time it's also cold but there's a shining sun with no clouds

My friend who lives in Edinburgh says people there believe in Spain it is always hot but she says it is even colder here at night (at least in our region). She does miss the sun.

I can't live without my moonie dose much longer... no, I can't

Luckily I've found some wine to replace my addiction
