one of the many great things about Amanda Palmer is that she distributes her music drm free and lets her fans decide how much they wanna pay for it

also she probably won’t sue me for using my favorite song of hers here

when will blogging about shit and vomit and diarrhea be acceptable in our society

Jim is man.
Jim is god.
Jim is rightous.
Jim is angry.
Jim is our glory.

Jim is our last hope.

Monday is coming.

Today I installed virtualbox again because I wanted to do some virtualizations. That should be obvious, actually. There’s no other reason to install virtualbox.

What I wanted to do was simple: set up a little Windows XP machine so I can play two simple games:
Wildlife Park 2 and Ski Racing 2005 (feat. Hermann Maier)

Both are absolutely beautiful gems that I loved when I was 12. Both are games I was absolutely shit at when I got them, and then through trial and error (and a little help from friends in understanding one of the games) I became moderately successful. By that I mean I finished all the missions in Wildlife Park (2) and unlocked all courses in Ski Racing (I never drove slalom or giant slalom though. Just super-G and downhill, because slalom has too many goals.).

So I hope I expressed my love for WLP2 and SR2005 enough. Last year in July, before I left for the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH, I already once tried to satisfy my nostalgia for a better and more uncomplicated time in my life, by installing virtualbox. Sadly, I wasn’t successfull. The shitty piece of software tried telling me the friggin’ driver wasn’t loaded, even after restarts.

So I said “Fuck Oracle!”, removed virtualbox and its dependencies, and tried to ignore the hole in my soul.

But yesterday I visited a friend who still has his old XP desktop, and we played a bit WLP2 and I was right back in it.

So I installed virtualbox, and surely, the driver didn’t load. But this time smarty boy didn’t give up. Instead he tried to find the driver, reloaded it, and the shitty thing works perfectly.

I was ~very~ furious.

So now I have two VMs running XP Professional and Home, and none of my games work. Because probably the processor is too fast and that shits it up. At least for Ski Racer. Wildlife Park apparently doesn’t like being run in a VM because Deep Silver is fucking with me with their shitty FrontLine DRM.

I’ll feel like I have to get an old pc now.

Fuck Oracle.

Multitasking!

Way too much food… maybe I shouldn’t have cooked the whole box…

I’d like to point out that that is rice right there and that means it’s healthy food. Although that sauce is McDonald’s sauce so maybe that cancels the rice out. Also my mom isn’t in the country right now so I can eat what I want.

I mean, I live alone so no one can tell me what to eat, but I feel a bit less guilty now.

Apparently.

Even though old German typefaces, like all old typefaces, is borderline impossible to read if you don’t do it often enough.

But if you’re blonde and blue-eyed and German, you aren’t allowed to complain apparently because the Nazis liked it and they also liked blonde, blue-eyed people and as such a person you can’t complain about the fricking unreadable text!

That’s the world we live in, now.

Fuck me.

What you’ll need:
– 2-3 white sausages
– a frying pan
– lard to cook the sausages in
– curry powder
– salt, pepper (hot), paprika powder
– mashed tomatoes
– half a bottle of ketchup

How to cook:
1. Cook the sausages until they’re good (I don’t know how long it takes on my stove, like 5 to 10 minutes maybe?)
2. Put sausages on a plate in the (pre-heated) oven so they stay warm
3. Mix the mashed tomatoes with the ketchup
4. Add salt, pepper, paprika powder, and lots of curry
5. Enjoy!
