0×1A years old

birthdayYesterday I turned 0×1A years old. For the non geeky guys thats 26 :).

I wasn’t planning on having a party or anything other than a few closed friends to have some Vodka. Well when I arrived home the same friends surprised me with a cake and of course some Vodka. :) Anyway it’s safe to say that we had fun…

And on another note who would have thought that after getting my first Apple computer last year, I would end up being an Apple fun and actually owning a desktop 24″ iMac and a new MacBook laptop.

¼ of a Century

My face with cake

Today is the day that I turn 25, there is already ¼ of a century on my back, and a pice of cake on my face as you can see from the picture.

Last night some friends came over and we had a small party, enjoying our self’s. I got the “traditional” cake in the face for my first time. Overall the party was a success and we had lots and lots of fun.

The strange think is that I don’t feel any older but I’ve already gone through ¼ of a century and if I was born some years back it would be expected from my to already have a family. I am really glad I wasn’t though :D.

On another note, on Friday my PowerBooks also had it’s 1st Birthday, since I got a rather cold August morning 1 year and 2 days ago, when I was in the UK. So Happy Birthday to Me and my PowerBook.

I am not going to say that I loved this film because that would be a lie, and I wouldn’t want to do that to you. To be honest the trailer gave hope of the film being really good, but then again I should have known better. Like most trailers this also had most of the good scenes in the trailer so no big surprise when there was nothing better in the movie.

Anyway enough said, I would suggest if you nothing better to do the you should see.

It’s a kind of a Cheaper by the Dozen by splitting the parents and giving them both a lot of kids, as close to a dozen they could give without getting sued I guess. Making the kids completely different so that it will be funnier and more “difficult” to live together.

Overall I think that it’s a really nice, try with a lot of pranks. I believe that if this one came out before Cheaper by the Dozen then it would be an even more of a hit.

I watched this from my airplane seat, and I found it quite funny. At first I was biased about this movie because usually sequels don’t do well, with the exception of a few of course. After sitting through it and convincing my self that I can read my book another time; I can honestly say that it’s not as good as the first one (but then again no one is) but it’s sure worth watching.
