Yeah, I’m sure this would NEVER have happened if they hadn’t been listed on Facebook. I don’t mean to sound heartless, and my condolences go out to Martine’s family, but unless these two met through facebook and it was their main form of contact, how is it really at fault? I can see how chat rooms and social networking sites that allow people to meet over the internet can be blamed for things like this, but Facebook (generally) tends to help connect people who already know each other. So it might help bring us closer to the sickoes and crazies out there, but not very much more so than attending parties and socialising in the real world would. Since murderers (excluding serial killers) and their victims often know each other, I guess Facebook is going to get blamed for a lot of murders from now on.

On the weekend Jad and I threw a cheese party. It started off looking like this:

Well, since at least two people seam to read this blog still, and one of them (at least) does appreciate updates, here’s a quickie: Woohoo! After about 3 to 4 years of working 4 days a week with CBWA, they’re finally taking me up to the full 5-day working week as of next week. Tehehe, ironically, the next two weeks are going to be 4-day working weeks anyway, because of Easter, so I guess I’m going to have a nice slow transition into my 5-day working weeks. Oh, oh, and on the 3rd of April I leave for Malaysia (wedding to attend) and don’t return until the 19th. Tehehe, so I’ll be getting paid to work 4 day weeks from next week but won’t actually start doing that for another month or so.

Everytime I hear something new about Honda I’m just left amazed. What a car company. OK, so their news about dropping the NSX was a little dissapointing and their concept for the CR-X replacement (CR-Z I think) wasn’t as cool as the old CRXs and their new Civic Type R was a tad less gutsy than one would have expected… Tehehe allright, so not EVERYTHING I hear about Honda leaves me amazed then. But they are an astounding car company. They’re certainly the only truly innovative car company of the Asian lot. The new V6 Accord’s variable cylinder technology is just further proof of that.
