    ridiculous news

    Posted on Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 in news.

    Just read an article in the Volkskrant, a Dutch newspaper, and it sounds pretty ridiculous.

    DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) is back
    Yup, wish it was different, but unfortunately it has returned after a mere 5 months. It has switched to the left leg, right under the knee.

    Faithless

    Posted on Monday, October 8th, 2007 in music.

    WOW!
    Just came back from a weekend in Shanghai.
    Why Shanghai? It’s not that great a city after all
    Well, Shanghai happened to have its first ever open-air music festival during the October Holiday (on Oct. 5) and the closing act was of none other than Faithless!!!
