|---|
| wispy | ok | Dec 02 00:47 |

|---|
| wispy | the ministry of truth | Dec 02 00:47 |

|---|
| MinceR | technically, it does fit the above list | Dec 02 00:48 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's taken for granted that certain truths have already been manufactured | Dec 02 00:48 |

|---|
| schestowitz | When I write I must do this. | Dec 02 01:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | To proofread you must blank the mind. | Dec 02 01:05 |
|---|
| wispy | i don't use anything special, but i mt with my homework | Dec 02 01:05 |
|---|
| wispy | sounds like a zen saying, roy | Dec 02 01:05 |
|---|
| wispy | haha | Dec 02 01:05 |
|---|
| wispy | "To proofread you must blank the mind." | Dec 02 01:05 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Well... | Dec 02 01:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I wrote that hastily. | Dec 02 01:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I still love writing when it's a flow of thoughts.. | Dec 02 01:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | As in here. | Dec 02 01:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Going through text and improving it is often wasteful. | Dec 02 01:06 |
|---|
| wispy | like a stream of consciousness | Dec 02 01:06 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | yeah, i do that as well | Dec 02 01:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | And yet, a necessity if you treat the reader well. | Dec 02 01:07 |
|---|
| wispy | yeah i hate proofreading | Dec 02 01:07 |
|---|
| wispy | sup petrokraus | Dec 02 01:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It also need concentration. | Dec 02 01:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *needs | Dec 02 01:07 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | though i tend to write stuff on the first time and then just correct the grammzor | Dec 02 01:07 |
|---|
| wispy | you have great posts with good grammer, roy | Dec 02 01:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Where? | Dec 02 01:07 |

|---|

|---|

|---|
| PetoKraus | thursday i went to sleep at 5, friday at 4:30, saturday at 2:00, sunday at midnight and today at 1:15 | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | waking up at 8 every day | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| wispy | i have a wacky sleep schedule too, i blame college | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | which is roy's normal schedule, but i tend to sleep healthy 8 hours a day ;) | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| wispy | i have to get up at 7:30 tomorrow | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Hehe. | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| wispy | nice, peto | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I used to have weird sleeping patterns. | Dec 02 01:09 |
|---|
| schestowitz | In 2004 I was waking up at about 4 AM | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | man, work at saturday was pain | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | 2005 it was like 2 AM, I think | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| wispy | wow! | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | i was falling asleep while typing new jobs in the database xD | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | In 2007 waking up at 10 PM was common... sometimes 7PM | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| wispy | do you use SQL, peto? | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Now I'm back to 'normal' | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | wispy: it was sage | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| wispy | omg really roy? | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Where normal means other people's norm | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | wispy: at work we use bollocks software | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| wispy | cool, peto | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| wispy | hah | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | though I'm using MySQL on my page | Dec 02 01:10 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | i don't like it | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No? | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Why not? | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | i don't like the idea of "something managing your data" | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It hardly fails. | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| wispy | i'm trying to learn MySQL | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| wispy | for business majors, it's a plus if you know it | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | there's the hassle of ... you need to be cautious about encoding | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | you need to be cautious about injections | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | PetoKraus: so get the data file uncompressed, flatten it. | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| wispy | if you're really anal, i guess mysql is okay | Dec 02 01:11 |
|---|
| wispy | or a perfectionist | Dec 02 01:12 |
|---|

|---|
| wispy | do you like the gui while working with databases? | Dec 02 01:12 |

|---|
| wispy | cool hehe | Dec 02 01:13 |
|---|
| wispy | i want to use python with MySQL; do they work well together? | Dec 02 01:13 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | i feel it's safer to pipe the output of a form into a file, which will be displayed in HTML, than to pipe it trough mysql, which needs "addslashes" protection | Dec 02 01:13 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | wispy: python is easy to use, i'd say yes | Dec 02 01:14 |
|---|
| wispy | yipee :) | Dec 02 01:14 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | though I did quite a bit of PHP + Mysql | Dec 02 01:14 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | lately | Dec 02 01:14 |

| wispy | yeah i almost started learning php, then i started with python | Dec 02 01:14 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | and my friend wants me to help him on a code in c++ | Dec 02 01:14 |

|---|
| wispy | hmm python is really multipurpose | Dec 02 01:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | For system calls it's different | Dec 02 01:15 |
|---|
| wispy | oh ok peto | Dec 02 01:15 |

|---|
| PetoKraus | pygtk is amazingly easy to do | Dec 02 01:16 |

|---|
| wispy | in Advanced placement calculus (back in high school), i knew a boy who loved java. he was really smart | Dec 02 01:17 |
|---|

|---|
| wispy | i heard the financial indutry uses it a lot | Dec 02 01:18 |
|---|
| wispy | so i was considering learning it | Dec 02 01:18 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | well, if you can get a T2 Ultrasparc.... | Dec 02 01:18 |

|---|
| PetoKraus | it's industry standard | Dec 02 01:19 |
|---|
| wispy | c++ is loved with financial programmers, too | Dec 02 01:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Java is the #1 p/l | Dec 02 01:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | by a big gap | Dec 02 01:19 |
|---|
| wispy | but java is loved more :) | Dec 02 01:19 |
|---|
| wispy | roy, do you know java and c++? | Dec 02 01:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Study: Java still top programming language: http://news.cnet.com/8301-... | Dec 02 01:19 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I hardly used c++. I hacked in it. I did Java though. | Dec 02 01:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | C was my main thing. | Dec 02 01:20 |

| PetoKraus | schestowitz: got any good tutorials on C++? | Dec 02 01:20 |
|---|
| wispy | cool, just looked at the link roy | Dec 02 01:20 |
|---|
| wispy | c is good with hardware, right? | Dec 02 01:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | PetoKraus: why C++? Java is better managed. | Dec 02 01:20 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | i didn't touch it for few years | Dec 02 01:20 |
|---|
| wispy | roy, you were a hacker? :O | Dec 02 01:20 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Only Linus still does C | Dec 02 01:21 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | schestowitz: it's for a sound app | Dec 02 01:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He's God in his own mind, so he won't listen to anyone. | Dec 02 01:21 |
|---|
| PetoKraus | you don't want to do that in high level | Dec 02 01:21 |
|---|
| wispy | linus hates c++ i think | Dec 02 01:21 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I can't recall that quote about this.. | Dec 02 01:21 |

|---|
| schestowitz | zoobab: let's do | Dec 02 01:31 |

|---|
| schestowitz | I remember that back then (around 2006)... there werre seevral referrals with his full name | Dec 02 01:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | So maybe he used Technorati to track it. | Dec 02 01:32 |
|---|
| schestowitz | IBM=Big Bloop | Dec 02 01:32 |
|---|
| wispy | lmao | Dec 02 01:32 |
|---|

|---|
| schestowitz | I think he's one of those INNOVA~1 INTELL~1 PROPER~1 people. | Dec 02 01:34 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He has those prose-like bloggings about buzzwords... makes you wanna snooze | Dec 02 01:34 |
|---|
| wispy | i like scandal when i read blogs | Dec 02 01:35 |
|---|
| wispy | i think i came to the right place, right, roy? | Dec 02 01:35 |
|---|
| wispy | ;) | Dec 02 01:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Where? | Dec 02 01:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | BN? | Dec 02 01:35 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No scandal there. | Dec 02 01:35 |
|---|
| wispy | oh yeah | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| wispy | suuuuure | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| zoobab | Beth Noveck of Peer to Patent (those who manages to find prior art in binaries) is also in the team | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It covers scandals. | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It has vandals | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| zoobab | I was trolling her at Eupaco2 | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| wispy | you are a poet and you don't know it, roy | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| zoobab | I still have to post the videos on Youtube and al | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| zoobab | http://change.gov/learn/policy_... | Dec 02 01:36 |
|---|
| schestowitz | wispy: no, I just hate white-collar crime | Dec 02 01:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zoobab: good stuff. | Dec 02 01:37 |
|---|
| wispy | it costs more than street crime | Dec 02 01:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Lots more | Dec 02 01:37 |
|---|
| wispy | i learned that in my honors sociology class | Dec 02 01:37 |
|---|
| wispy | billions | Dec 02 01:37 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Punishment is a petty thing | Dec 02 01:37 |
|---|
| wispy | lets shame them | Dec 02 01:38 |
|---|
| zoobab | http://change.gov/learn/pol... | Dec 02 01:38 |
|---|
| zoobab | "It is ironic that if software patents were disallowed altogether, it might cause legitimate software innovations to then be protected as trade secrets, and thus keep them away from open source projects." | Dec 02 01:38 |
|---|
| zoobab | http://blog.irvingwb.com/blog/... | Dec 02 01:38 |
|---|
| wispy | so roy, how's the ph.d? :) | Dec 02 01:38 |
|---|
| wispy | you must be very smart to get that far | Dec 02 01:38 |
|---|

|---|
| schestowitz | zoobab: is that from Irving? | Dec 02 01:39 |

|---|
| wispy | she's a bio major now | Dec 02 01:41 |
|---|
| wispy | but she's 18 now | Dec 02 01:41 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I feel like I finished 3 years ago. | Dec 02 01:41 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's an afterthought. | Dec 02 01:41 |
|---|
| wispy | still, you are younger than a lot of ph.d candidates | Dec 02 01:41 |
|---|
| wispy | in the us, ph.d candidates start out at around 28 | Dec 02 01:42 |
|---|
| wispy | graduate school is a long process | Dec 02 01:42 |
|---|
| wispy | then comes the ph.d | Dec 02 01:42 |
|---|
| wispy | can i call you dr. schestowitz soon? ;) | Dec 02 01:43 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Yes | Dec 02 01:44 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But that's not important. | Dec 02 01:44 |
|---|
| wispy | cute | Dec 02 01:44 |
|---|
| schestowitz | If it was, I'd have finished in 2006 | Dec 02 01:45 |
|---|
| wispy | that's a big accomplishment | Dec 02 01:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Thanks. | Dec 02 01:45 |
|---|
| wispy | no prob ^.^ | Dec 02 01:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But the Freedom fight is more important. | Dec 02 01:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | That's why it's curtailed | Dec 02 01:45 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I also need the campus | Dec 02 01:45 |
|---|
| wispy | what's up with the campus? | Dec 02 01:46 |
|---|
| wispy | you are a freedom figher, roy :) | Dec 02 01:46 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No. | Dec 02 01:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | RMS is. | Dec 02 01:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Campus if good for protection and support. | Dec 02 01:47 |
|---|
| schestowitz | it fosters thinking and peace | Dec 02 01:47 |
|---|
| wispy | rms is da man | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| wispy | ah so you are a scholar | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I still have acces to heads of departments. | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| wispy | i support you, roy. you have friends in cyberspace, too | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Not scholar, hacker.;-) | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| wispy | cool | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| wispy | hahaha | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| wispy | i can't hack, i'm such a n00b | Dec 02 01:48 |
|---|
| wispy | since i'm a girl, i didn't get much support when i was younger. *now* i'm learning how to program | Dec 02 01:49 |
|---|
| wispy | all the guys were at it since they were preteens | Dec 02 01:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's self learning that counts. | Dec 02 01:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Education is exaggerated. | Dec 02 01:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But people judge others by pieces of papers. | Dec 02 01:49 |
|---|
| schestowitz | *paper | Dec 02 01:49 |
|---|
| wispy | the internet really showed me that tech is interesting | Dec 02 01:49 |
|---|
| wispy | my parents thought the Internet was a bad place, so i didn't go on too often | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Tech is a subculture | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Everything is | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | There are better causes | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Political, environmental.. | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| wispy | yes, true | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I don't subscribe into baking and lawyers as 'causes' | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They are middlemen. | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| wispy | i'm interested in so many things | Dec 02 01:50 |
|---|
| wispy | like the mafiaa? | Dec 02 01:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | They are interfering, but they act as glue that's parasitic. | Dec 02 01:51 |
|---|
| wispy | i agree that self learning is vital, roy | Dec 02 01:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | mafiia is anti-art | Dec 02 01:51 |
|---|
| wispy | haha roy | Dec 02 01:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Depreviation of self expression | Dec 02 01:51 |
|---|
| wispy | that's sad :'( | Dec 02 01:51 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It is argued yet it can never be proven that's its an innate thing for a person to want to create things and also strive to escape authority for individualism... MAFIAA is against all that. | Dec 02 01:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | MAFIAA is abotu swallowing an ocean of creativity. | Dec 02 01:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Blockbuster = one producer = 200,000,000 viewers | Dec 02 01:52 |
|---|
| schestowitz | YouTube's ratios are different. | Dec 02 01:52 |
|---|
| wispy | that's profound, roy, the first part you wrote :) | Dec 02 01:53 |
|---|
| wispy | YT is so awesome, the users win in the end | Dec 02 01:53 |
|---|
| schestowitz | YT? | Dec 02 01:54 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Oh, Youtube duh | Dec 02 01:54 |
|---|
| wispy | youtube :) | Dec 02 01:54 |
|---|
| wispy | hehe that's ok | Dec 02 01:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Grolaw fights for YouTube too. | Dec 02 01:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | See latest post here. | Dec 02 01:55 |
|---|
| wispy | pam? | Dec 02 01:55 |
|---|
| schestowitz | PJ found the videos that I found a month ago and put in BN | Dec 02 01:55 |
|---|
| zoobab | which videos? | Dec 02 01:55 |
|---|
| wispy | she's digs deep | Dec 02 01:55 |
|---|
| wispy | she* | Dec 02 01:56 |
|---|
| wispy | how does she find all that stuff? | Dec 02 01:57 |
|---|
| wispy | she's a super sleuth | Dec 02 01:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zoobab: see Grolaw news picks... hold on | Dec 02 01:57 |
|---|
| schestowitz | http://boycottnovell.com/2008/10/30/atta... | Dec 02 01:58 |
|---|
| wispy | thanks for the link | Dec 02 01:59 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's a boring talk. | Dec 02 02:01 |
|---|
| wispy | kinda like some of the lectures at my school | Dec 02 02:02 |
|---|
| wispy | lectures don't help me learn, i learn best by reading | Dec 02 02:02 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Lectures justify payment to profs | Dec 02 02:03 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It also makes them feel good about themselves | Dec 02 02:03 |
|---|
| wispy | yea haha | Dec 02 02:04 |
|---|
| wispy | some of my classes are really short, i guess the profs get bored too | Dec 02 02:04 |
|---|
| wispy | XD | Dec 02 02:04 |
|---|
| schestowitz | OK, i'm being too cynical here, but let's face it: many things that are traditionally done in academia are a Jurassic age. They could use the Web. People don't require books, data is better indexed electronically and we don't need conferences overseas ans libraries to store volumes. | Dec 02 02:04 |
|---|
| wispy | libraries have a charm to them, that's one thing good about them :) | Dec 02 02:05 |
|---|
| wispy | but i agree roy | Dec 02 02:05 |
|---|

| wispy | textbooks are priced harshly, electronic versions should push prices down | Dec 02 02:06 |
|---|
| zoobab | someone should create online university courses | Dec 02 02:06 |
|---|

|---|

|---|
| zoobab | because university teachers are so bad | Dec 02 02:06 |
|---|
| schestowitz | zoobab: yes, that's already been done, no? | Dec 02 02:06 |
|---|
| zoobab | at teaching | Dec 02 02:06 |
|---|
| wispy | so true zoobab | Dec 02 02:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | textbooks are a scheme like a pyramid | Dec 02 02:07 |
|---|
| zoobab | yes, but not free ones | Dec 02 02:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I can't recall the classic explanation. | Dec 02 02:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | But it's like a cycle of money where unis pass lots of money in a closed system. | Dec 02 02:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Tuition fees too are like price0gouging. | Dec 02 02:07 |
|---|
| wispy | ugh tell me about it! :( | Dec 02 02:07 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Susbription to journals... IEEE at like 13k per year | Dec 02 02:08 |
|---|
| wispy | i had this one economics book that was only one year old, and a new edition came out | Dec 02 02:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Conference fees are high. | Dec 02 02:08 |
|---|
| wispy | insane | Dec 02 02:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Tuition is inflated | Dec 02 02:08 |
|---|
| wispy | so i sold that book for $35 and i bought it for $110! | Dec 02 02:08 |
|---|
| wispy | what a loss | Dec 02 02:08 |
|---|
| schestowitz | And people must stock books to fund the same publications that publish their rubbish | Dec 02 02:09 |
|---|
| wispy | yep, in nj colleges are getting less support from the state | Dec 02 02:09 |
|---|
| wispy | that hurts students | Dec 02 02:09 |
|---|
| wispy | so many textbooks i bought are written by profs that teach here | Dec 02 02:10 |
|---|
| wispy | ripoff | Dec 02 02:10 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No, creating jobs. | Dec 02 02:11 |
|---|

|---|
| schestowitz | Long-term.. | Dec 02 02:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Watch how the ecnomy collapses | Dec 02 02:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Poor students suffer a lot | Dec 02 02:11 |
|---|
| schestowitz | I can't imagine that it's good for research grants (low priority) | Dec 02 02:11 |
|---|
| wispy | yes it's sad | Dec 02 02:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | A friend of mine is a furious professor who saw this coming. | Dec 02 02:12 |
|---|
| wispy | my family is quite well off, but i hate money being spent needlessly on tuition and books | Dec 02 02:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He's actually the one who encouraged me to apply for a PhD in Cambridge back in 2002 | Dec 02 02:12 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He is one among many who will suffer from this economic blast | Dec 02 02:13 |
|---|
| wispy | awwww | Dec 02 02:13 |
|---|
| wispy | so is he your mentor? | Dec 02 02:13 |

| schestowitz | Soup kitchens come before "I'd like to toy around with some tubes and chemicals" | Dec 02 02:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | No, he's not. | Dec 02 02:13 |
|---|
| schestowitz | He's in infectious disease (pure medicine) | Dec 02 02:13 |
|---|
| wispy | ah i see | Dec 02 02:14 |
|---|
| wispy | tubes and chemicals lead to ground breaking advances, so there should be *some* funding | Dec 02 02:14 |
|---|
| wispy | but the govt does not realize this | Dec 02 02:14 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It's not a priority | Dec 02 02:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | The world needs water, food, deflation in birth (through control) | Dec 02 02:15 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Or rlse it's heading towards massive disaster | Dec 02 02:16 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Cure for disease is peanuts compared to deaths from starvation and war | Dec 02 02:16 |
|---|
| wispy | uh oh | Dec 02 02:16 |
|---|
| wispy | starvation is a big problem for young children | Dec 02 02:17 |
|---|
| wispy | they are so weak and need to grow but they can't | Dec 02 02:17 |
|---|
| schestowitz | It leads to war | Dec 02 02:18 |
|---|
| schestowitz | Lack or water -> war | Dec 02 02:18 |
|---|
| wispy | throughout history, people fought many wars because of resources | Dec 02 02:19 |
|---|

|---|

|---|
| schestowitz | It's like islands. | Dec 02 02:24 |

| twitter | I have yet to find a good substitute for a chalk board to get work done with a few clued people. | Dec 02 02:25 |
|---|
| wispy | hey twitter | Dec 02 02:25 |
|---|
| twitter | hello | Dec 02 02:25 |
|---|
| twitter | It's also helpful to have all sorts of specialists in walking distance. | Dec 02 02:26 |
|---|
| wispy | i have a small chalkboard at home, but i got it when i was 9 | Dec 02 02:26 |
|---|
| wispy | my little sister drew on a part of it with marker | Dec 02 02:26 |
|---|
| wispy | so she sort of damaged it | Dec 02 02:26 |
|---|
| twitter | Masonite + Chalkboard paint = 8x4' chalk board. If you do it with white board on the other side, you have a dual purpose board. | Dec 02 02:26 |
|---|
| twitter | it works well if you get good paint. | Dec 02 02:27 |
|---|
| wispy | yeah there was a whiteboard on the other side | Dec 02 02:27 |
|---|
| wispy | not sure why she didnt use that | Dec 02 02:27 |
|---|
| wispy | :S | Dec 02 02:27 |

|---|
| twitter | This Nicolas Sarkozy is really a disaster. He's the same guy who's undoing the 35 hour a week laws and other cool stuff. I hope he tries to mess with food purity, so that people will kick him out. | Dec 02 02:33 |
