Post Two Hundred

This is the 200th post I have made to this blog. I am quite glad at its longevity. So on this historic occasion, let us look at the latest news:

Saddam Hussein has been sentenced to death.

An hour ago the BBC reported he is to hang. This is the first time in my life that I am aware of someone, and they are to be executed. I mean, I've known of people being executed, but I've only known of the person because of the execution. I have been aware of Saddam for a while. Might I also say... days before the US midterm Elections! What incredible timing! Luckily all reading Americans will hurry to their RepubliCom voting machines and vote for the bold leader that brought us this verdict.

Government trial interference is terrible, and it doesn't matter who, either. Saddam Hussein is entitled to a fair trial, as much as any man. I mean, he's going to hang either way, but no one will doubt the verdict if the trial is fair. And by the looks of it, and by the complaints of Human Rights Watch (an American group), it seems to have suffered a great deal of government tampering.

But oh well, hooray for the red, white and blue.

Now that's a surprisingly political start for my blog. I don't usually discuss politics, I know. And avid readers will be able to name each time I have (cookie for the first comment with a correctly formatted list of political QB articles).

3DS Max is an incredible program. I have discovered so much more about how it works, and how fantasticly fun some of the things can be. I have been playing a lot. I made a city, too.

It is the fifth of November, and last night (Saturday), I drove out to mooch some free Fireworks displays. The KCS (my old school) display is usually at the forefront with amazing displays in Wimbledon. And with an illegal parking space just in front (somebody's driveway), I got an amazing view. I was asked to leave shortly afterwards, and my excuse was that I was overcome by the beauty of the fireworks.

I am experimenting with ways of keeping warm without using the central heating. I have my lemonade bottle filled with hot water, it works pretty well. And later today I'll probably try cheap double glazing.

I looked into my possible grades in the future, and I was quite happily surprised. I mean, it won't fall into my lap, but if I put in some effort, my final grade won't be too bad. I'm not sure if the same can be said for other people's grades, but I am not too badly off.

It's very cold. Really cold.

Ronin is an excellent film, if anyone has the chance to see it, definitely see it.
