...oh by the way NSFW!!!!

...which is none existent!


On Saturday me and my girlfriend went out for shopping and while driving to a supermarket we saw right in the middle of a busy intersection a tiny kitty all shaped up into a furry ball scared to death. It was actually that scared by the passing cars that it had completely abandon the idea of taking an escape root and just sat there quietly.

Meanwhile not even one fuckface (please allow me to curse cause I really have to) stopped to check the kitty or at least remove it from the road - they just kept on going dodging with their cars the little guy.

We stopped, got out and picked it up immediately. Tiny enough to fit into the palm of my hand we kept it warm with a piece of fabric I had in the car and went off to the nearest vet clinic.

At the clinic we asked if someone would be able to take care the kitty and find a home for it but they wouldn't help unless we payed for the treatment and secondly we were informed that there is no government service that could house a homeless animal and even though there are some private organizations that can help they are overcome by the shear number of animals they treat.

OK! I understand, a private clinic needs money and that is no object for me and my girl especially when such a helpless creature is in need but these people are supposed to be animal doctors who know very well than any other that the country suffers badly regarding animal welfare. How hard would it be for them to allow a set number of homeless animals to stay in their damn clinic until they find them a home and help with the shitty situation that this country is allowing?

To cut a long story short we managed to get the kitty checked by a vet who is a friend and found out that the left foot is paralyzed. Seems like a defect from birth but luckily no broken bones and in general in good health, just tired and needs the typical shots.

We managed to find a home for the little guy too (who apparently is a she) because a lady at the clinic heard me shouting at the doctors (oops) felt bad about our furry friend and now she is taking care of it at her house with her other cats. We felt we had to help her out and so we paid for all the necessary drugs and food for the first few weeks.

Overall my country sucks when it comes to animal care and what is worse is that the city folk have become immune to the situation and to the sight of a helpless animal. It really bothers me knowing that there are hundreds of similar situations out there at the moment but hopefully some of them will survive because of the kindness of a few people who still care.

I'm sorry to be like this but honestly the last couple of days the situation has angered me immensley.


Here she is:

DAMN YOU CUSTOMS! DAMN YOUOUOUOUOU!!!!!

Great tee by the way. Congrats :)

and I've been mostly watching youTube.

Last time I played Diablo was in 2000 and before that in 1997 when it first came out. Wow it has been almost 10 years. I know what I'm buying next! :)

Artwork is amazing by the way - conceptual or not is just stunning, close to a movie production.

... will I have the time to play though..... :/..... bastard work.... etc, etc.....

Mars Phoenix Tweets: "We Have ICE!"



There is water ice on Mars within reach of the Mars Phoenix Lander, NASA scientists announced Thursday.

Photographic evidence settles the debate over the nature of the white material seen in photographs sent back by the craft. As seen in lower left of this image, chunks of the ice sublimed (changed directly from solid to gas) over the course of four days, after the lander's digging exposed them.

"It must be ice," said the Phoenix Lander's lead investigator, Peter Smith. "These little clumps completely disappearing over the course of a few days, that is perfect evidence that it's ice."

The confirmation that water ice exists in the area directly surrounding the lander is big and good news for the Martian mission. NASA's stated goal for the Mars Phoenix was to find exactly this -- water ice -- and then analyze it. With the latest news, the first step is accomplished. All that's left now is to get the water into the Phoenix's instruments, a task which has occasionally proven more difficult than anticipated.

Still, this is the best opportunity that humanity has ever had to analyze extraterrestrial water in any form. That had the Phoenix Lander's persona fired up.

"Are you ready to celebrate? Well, get ready: We have ICE!!!!! Yes, ICE, *WATER ICE* on Mars! w00t!!! Best day ever!!" the Mars Phoenix Lander tweeted at about 5:15 pm.

Their suspicions about water ice beneath the surface of Mars confirmed, scientists and the world will have renewed interest in the outcome of the soil analyses currently being conducted by the lander.

The samples are being examined for traces of organic molecules, among other substances, but the lander does not have instruments that could directly detect life.
