BBC News reports that a documentary about penguins is the most successful French film made: "The March of the Penguins has sold $66.8m (£36.6m) in tickets since its June release overtaking Luc Besson thriller The Fifth Element." They’re at it again! Teh Penguins! The acting president of the National Association Against Penguins has gone underground […]

Last five flicks I saw
Battle Royale/Batoru rowaiaru (2000) This is one of the best films I’ve seen this year. It is typically japaneese, pretty bloody, but moreover: it is highly philosophical. Don’t let the tagline, Could you kill your own friend? fool you. This movie goes further. The first thing I thought when the baseline plot was established was […]
Fafo: Gaza Poll 2005
Fafo Institute of Applied International Studies has recently (today) released a small poll from the Gaza strip where about 900 respondents were asked questions regarding the Israeli withdrawal. Interesting reading: Gaza Poll "At last, it seems, Palestinians consider that they have a reason to celebrate a victory. In a recent poll, as many as 61 […]
Looking out for bowel movements
Humm.. Today I’ve roamed the campus like an existential drifter. It turned out that 2/3 classes were non-existing (today) and that the third one (in about an hour) was 30 minutes late. So I’ve been to the chemistry building, this huge, underground place with very strange-looking allthough very polite scientists, reading up on my metaphysics, […]
Shower Angst
This gal who just moved in with us about a month ago, just bought a new shower curtain. It was a great thing to do, considering the old one had been classified ‘biological’ for some time, and some of us even wondered whether it was sentient. As some of you might remember, there’s a humidity […]
You homo!
A kid walked up to me on the street this morning, I met a couple of classes doing a city tour, and he just came up to me, looked me straight in the face and called me homo. "You homo," he said. I looked at the nearest adult, but he just gave me a blank […]
Phoenix
Sigg3 o O ( Easy Listening = Aphex Twin) After a day of enforcing specially trained c-vitamin special forces to round up the rallying immune defence renegades, I’m actually on my way up. I’m currently not drinking any alcohol or hard liquor at the moment, no, I’m enjoying my perfectly healthy coffee and cigarette while […]
Got the flu
I’ve got the flu. The only reason why I’m at work is to fill in the timesheet ($$$!) and play some Nexiuz. As said, got the flu. My body’s immune defence has collapsed into scattered groups of drunken troops who might as well drink with the enemy rather than fight it and keep me well. […]
I just hate mornings in general
Sigg3.net may disappear and reappear for a while. It did last night. Worry you none. The guy behind it, more importantly – me, is still here. I am truly heartbroken by the human lossess of the catastrophe in New Orleans, and I think it’s a good thing US president Bush returns from holiday to declare […]
Some thoughts from work
One of the things I do like about working, is that I get to play with all kinds of gadgets a normal "teenager’s" budget would never allow. (I’m not really a teenager, but still.) Right now, for instance, I received four external USB2 HDDs, one mini-tower of about 300GB and three handheld versions with around […]
