Miraculously, no. Though, if you saw the hunk of metal that used to be our car, you'd wonder how it was possible.

Worse, though we weren't even moving when we got hit, and the other guy was going at least double the speed limit, by some twist of fate the insurance companies have decided the accident was our fault. :|

@KI

Yeah, it's been a real sh*tty week (pardon the pun).

@Corribus: I feel for you man! But, I'm sure you'll be able to see your way through this.

It's a rainy Saturday afternoon, I can hear the raindrops falling on my roof and the creek flowing nearby and I'm in one of those moods in which I believe people are absurd.

Nice :D Time for my random thoughts: The last week it was brought to my attention how vain Greeks can be. Ok maybe not just Greeks but that freaked me out anyway.
A recent survey shows that 41.2% of the population consider plastic surgery an absolute must and one out of ten women has been operated in some way. Men were one out of fourty but nevermind that.
What is really distressing is that people - even the poor ones - take loans for that. Note that there are holiday loans and such but surgery loans so you could look prettier..? When you can barely afford other things..? What is wrong with these people?

We've been watching too much nip tuck it seems.. :disagree:

In this video you can see the 4-year construction process of the new Norwegian Opera house compressed to 3 minutes. The architect Tarald Lundevall claims the building is one of the most complex buildings in the world. Lots of controversy has surrounded the thing, especially the fact that Italian marble was used rather than Norwegian, and that in the end, that marble wasn't of very high quality. Still, now it's there, and Norway's culture elite are very happy. The building can be used for all sorts of things; ranging from opera and theatrical plays, to concerts and grand galla events.

Norwegian Opera Video.... I was oddly mesmerized by the rain drops on the lens... especially the one near the end that seemed to freeze and STAY there a while...

Ref'ed some matches today. Junior girls, in the national championship qualifications; we were full trios and everything. The matches only lasted 2x25 minutes, and I got a total of 450 crowns for three matches, making the hourly pay about 180. Decent pay for loafing around the pitch :)

I didn't know you get payed for judging matches? 8|

I'm extraordinarily annoyed today. After having now caughed almost constantly for three weeks, I'm near willing to chop my own head off just to stop the caughing! :(

On another note there's not much time left until I move into my new appartment :oex:

Of course we do. You honestly thought we'd take all that abuse for nothing? ;)
