My back hurts. Have been putting off taking painkillers yesterday but I think it's pretty unavoidable today.

Going to try out Photoshop CS3 "portable edition" on the laptop to see how it works with Vista. It'll be my first encounter with CS; there was Illustrator CS on my comp, but I think I uninstalled it. Besides, the first CS had major problems dealing with PSD files created from previous Photoshop versions (or so my sister told me), so I never thought about trying it. But if it's no good I'll put GIMP on the machine.

More HD DVD vs Blu Ray news. Buying a PS3 is becoming more and more justifiable.

Strict drug laws mean you could be arrested at UAE for crimes you didn't know you were committing. This is very, very scary stuff.

Does anyone get the impression that nowadays, if you privatise something you get shot for it, and if you nationalise something you still get shot for it?

Need to check if there are resources out there that help scanlaters with translating background sound effects.

a Swiss national is serving a four-year jail term after three poppy seeds from a bread roll he ate at Heathrow airport were found on his clothes

...err... WTF?! O_O Not that I could even dream of having the money to consider a holiday in UAE, but even if I did then this'd definitely make me reconsider.

http://kyoh.monkey-pirate.com has a pdf of a lot of common SFX and such (you might have to poke around for it)

There used to be a Yu Yu Hakusho doujinshi site with a very good list of SFX but I think that site disappeared unfortunately or at least the SFX list did. ;_;

Yaaay Blu-ray! That gives me more reason to buy a PS3 (in a few years T_T) since that's a good deal for a Blu-ray player and gaming system. :D

My back is killing me today too D: If it doesn't stop by the end of the week, I may have to cough up the money for a massage.

*blinks* My grandparents recently went to the UAE, but didn't mention anything about that.
