May 2007 Archives

For all those my readers noticing my lack of news, this last weeks have been quite busy. Too much work to be done, and too much things to think about. But I am alive, and I hope to come back to regular posts soon.

Yesterday I bought a new bike. It took me some work to take it home. Take off wheels, and assemble it again at home. By the way, I think it is not properly assembled.

Anyway, let me tell you I do not ride a bike for... more than 15 years? Today I took a quick ride, and after 1.15 Km I was tired. Too tired. But I hope tomorrow I can ride a little more. At the moment who is complaining is my ass!

This is the 480th entry in this blog. I think this change should be at the 500th one, but the truth is that 'Albie's blog' might be too gay. So, for now, this is my /dev/null.

Yesterday it was time for Spider-Man 3. A friend said it had good special effects and, really, regarding that, the movie is nice. The problem is the rest. If in previous movies I said Tobey Maguire was a bad Spider-Man, in this, I can say he is gay. True! More... normally (if you are used to read my blog) I like to comment girls in the movie. This one has just two, Kirsten Dunst, that this time was worst than ever in any movie I saw her, and Bryce Dallas Howard, this one a little more interesting. The movie story is nothing brilliant, and it has too many dead segments. Sometimes I wondered if I was in an action movie or some drama! I must say I wouldn't vote more than 5/10.

Today I watched Mission Impossible 2. I loved the TV series, and I heard a lot of bad about this movie...

And they were right!

The movie is watchable, of course. But Tom Cruise is not the actor for this kind of movie. Also, it is too much Hollywood-based. Same story, big cars, big bikes, lots of explosions, acrobatic fight... well, at least the "Impossible" part is there. Oh, and talking about big cars, why in hell they have an Audi TT and a Porsche to crash and I have to drive a Ford Fiesta?

I was really needing a new mobile-phone. My Siemens was old and crashed. Searching for a cheap one, but not a too basic. Found a nice one, from Samsung, the C140. For now I am liking it a lot. Just found (for now, I have if for 36 hours) an annoyance: the 'ok' button launches the GPRS WAP browser. Why is this bad? Because normally we touch it by accident, and we start paying! Asked the provider if the button was configurable but didn't had luck. So, the solution was to deactivate WAP/GPRS on my SIM card. That is not bad because I really do not use them... or so I thought... just a minutes before they sent me the email stating they did the deactivation, I was trying to get a new ringtone... unfortunately I wasn't fast enough. I need to cope with one of the seven default sounds...
