This time I managed to crack the engine head on 5 from the 6 cylinders with total of 8 cracks… I’m quite good at destroying my car

Today I finally found the will in me to gather all of my books from all places I have left them and reorder my library. I thought that I had much more books but they fitted in only 4 shelves.
I keep most of my books at home but I have usually at least one shelf [...]
Finally I got the new video screen and we tested it yesterday. 2.4 meters is the optimal screen size for my projector and our living room.
You can watch from any angle, the picture is at least 4 times bigger then our 47′ TV. There are some problems now with the quality of the movies that [...]

Finally we got our Christmas tree. We had an argument with Toni about the tree. I wanted a normal natural tree and she wanted an artificial(plastic one). So I agreed with her, but the new tree has a bug. The top part of the tree doesn’t clip with the bottom, but since it was after [...]
