Diary

Hello, hello, hello! Apparently, people realised after all how cute and lovable I am, since I at last got my Christmas presents... way into New Year. Well, better later than never, huh? I got a lovely donkey from my friend. She got a bunch of angry looking owls for that. Yay! I got 15 euros from my grandma. Well, she always pays me money instead of an actual present. Well, again, better money than socks. Yay! Also I got an awesome Porsche 911 so I can kill myself fast. No, not really. And last but not least, I got a cheque to buy some books in a bookstore. Double yay! I don't remember how printed text looks anymore anyway. Except my stupid university homeworks.

Other than that, I have a couple of new addictions. First and foremost, I got in love with Korean national sports. So much intensity, so much skill... like, wow. Yeah, I'm talking about Starcraft and Warcraft 3. My obsessions are way behind the schedule, it seems. Doesn't matter, they will release Starcraft 2 sooner or later... and my hardware will not be able to cope with it, which is quite another story. Add to that my religious hatred to Vista (that piece of shit ain't touching my computer EVER). Ah well... Maybe when I'm old someone will start releasing games for Linux platform as well, sniff...

The other new obsession is... well, geeky. I have become a functional programmer. No no no, I am still as dysfunctional as ever, it's the programming that is functional. I mean, pass function as an argument of another function? Sounds like yay! Also, it confuses the shit out of people reading the source. To make matters worse for them readers, I have begun learning J. Now that thing is a blast. What's not to love? Any programming language that doesn't have cycles, because its operations are by default meant for whole arrays at once, is good language in my book. Seriously, what can be better than finding the biggest member of an array in three keystrokes?

Can't get better than that, no way.

Of course, it does have some disadvantages. For example, the final code looks something like this in the end:

],(+/@:(_2&{.@:]))

Bonus points for those, who know, what this program does. But hey, at least its programs are ten to twenty times shorter than similar C programs because of lack of cycles, and you can piss off people who claim that's just random gibberish.

RIGHT NOW: Just looked through a list of driving schools that are accepting new students. I want to get my licence this year, even though I don't have a car yet. Face it, being 21 and not having a licence sucks. And now to watch some Starcraft MSL matches

And thus after three weeks of procrastination being busy with my university stuff, I am back to blogging!

First and foremost, let me introduce... my new kitty! My Dad was litterally going out of his mind without a cat, visiting her grave everyday and all, so we decided that we'd rather get a new cat than get murdered one night... OK, maybe I am exaggerating a tiny bit, but still. Now we have a new little critter to bother us and Dad isn't as irritating anymore.

This time it's a male kitty. He's only seven weeks old but already quite an evil cute little creature. Most of the time he spends chewing my hand, my bootlaces, my boots, my anything. The rest of the time he, of course, sleeps. Anyway, he's quite pretty, being totally white and little and having cute eyes... Evil bastard.

What else? Well, since everyone hates me and I am an evil bastard, I didn't get any Christmas presents this year. Yay! Ah, whatever, not that I cared about presents much anyway. People usually give crap presents these days anyhow. I still have a slight hope to get some presents from several persons I didn't meet yet, but I'm not expecting much. And if you must ask, no, I didn't give presents to anyone either, because all my presents are crap as well. Maybe I will give something to a couple of people who seem to mean a bit more than usual... But I wouldn't have high hopes in their place either.

Expected more, huh? Well, shit, I live a boring life, what would you expect? Feeding overweight tigers with chicken?

By the way, if you're feeling a strong inclination to kill yourself but don't want to do the dirty job yourself, force me to listen to Christmas songs. I guarantee it won't hurt... me... a lot. Well, OK, Mariah Carey looked kind of sexy in that black and white music video, but that's as far as I can go. I have a very low Christmas song threshold before I go completely bananas.

RIGHT NOW: Listening to Nick Cave's "Murder Ballads". Now that's what I call proper music for winter. By the way, this winter sucks. There is no trace of snow, and it's frigging end of December... If I don't get proper white Christmas in the next ten years, I am going on anti-global-warming motherfuckers killing spree.
