Today is a good day to end it (the year that is)

I need to sort the font for my Media Player. The track from Bond, Back In Action from Diamonds Are Forever Suite reads Blofeld's Laser. I read it as Blofeld's a Loser. Either that or get my eyes tested.

Did some messing about with my finances in Gnucash. Money that I had put aside during the year for a hoped for trip to America this holiday season finally got folded back into the melee and I've used it to cover the last three payment of my bank loan. It had taken five years to get this sucker gone. Which means that other than my mortgage, which is now two years old, I'm entering 2004 debt free. Yay! Go me! Those last payments still need to happen at the appropriate times, but they are covered. May next pay will be all mine. Ignoring bills and stuff of course.

Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route.

- Albert Camus, 1913 - 1960

Good advice that I just read for tonight: "I recommend doing any drinking in the same building where you will sleep." Be safe tonight.

It's 5pm. I've been up since 10am. I've not had any breakfast yet. Just a single cup of coffee. *goes to find food*

Anna and the King is on in 15 mikes. Better set the tape recorder. Haven't seen it before, but I like the other films I've seen Chow Yun Fat in, even if this isn't anything like them. The Killer, Hard Boilded Cop and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
