Seeing this movie and think about Othelo brought me to a thought about "Why we want to see happy ending stories?". I guess it's our life. We think we are having tough times. But that's not true. I believe most of us is having good times. Maybe our expectations are not full-filled but still we are living in times of sufficiency. We have wifes and husbands we love. Adorable, funny, amazing kids.

The Superdrive and the ethernet port.So I started to look around for this parts and their prices. During this I looked also to prices of other computers. What a surprise. Most of the PCs are half the

I was provided with a copy of Leopard (thanks Sjon) so that I can try what it can do.Installation - really smooth. no more that 3 next clicks. I did not watch for installation time. But I guess it took around an hour on my Mac Mini G4 1.42MHzDesktop - really nice. Eyez candy all around. But it seems more dark to me than Tiger.Spaces - really appreciate this feature.

This week my wife is really nice to me. It's hot, I got early shift and she somehow understands it and does not force me to do many things.Or may be it's because I did not give her any other chance. As I'm quite tired after I get home. Than kids, Bukovinka etc. I simply refuse to help her that much as usual. But anyway I would like to thank her that she does not blame me for it.I hope I will be

We are angry.It's bad.Don't know how people can live in around Mediterranean Sea, Africa, India and all these locations where average temperature is around 30 degrees of Celsius.Can't wait till saturday when is weather supposed to cool.

I will write me thoughts and moods here, she'll read it and than we'll discuss it. I'm bad in expressing myself directly so we have to use this workaround. Bit stupid, isn't it? But at least something.
