Semester 2 starts tomorrow (cause Indonesia is on the crazy Northern-hemisphere timetable), so I am off to Coffee Time to prepare for English Seaking 2 classes. blah

It really is off-putting to have the REAL year disected by a fake academic year, like in USA & EU. Semester 2 is starting, at the start of a new year.

2 voicemails today yippee! thank you, boys.

ps- I wanted to do an Enhanced podcast, but stupid iPhoto can’t “see” my iPhone – so I can’t save the pics. Urgh. stoopid Apple.

Mt Merapi exploding in Yogya 2 Nov 2010. This is the first of audio clips I recorded after my CrackBook died. The beginning of this podcast is me rambling about it dying!…

Then I talk about being DUMPED by Roy (via email from Korea).
To top off this sad news, our TV is also dead in the Kos.

iPhone, iPod users can thankfully play at 2x speed!

You can probably guess that this means there is good news on the crackBook hardware front!

Well, whilst my laptop is now restored to it’s original (2009) glory – with tiny 160GB HDD – the internet has decided to pack it in now.
To use my iPhone4 I need to have the newest version of iTunes. After 3 hours, and a crash (meaning I had to start again), it is back to saying “5 hours” to download. I hate to think how long this 2mb file will take to upload.

Still no laptop for me, so no podcasts for another few weeks at least. My extremely bad quality white macBook of 2007 is literally cracking everywhere now. Shitty apple. Wish i still had my old 12″ PowerBook!! My mum is posting over my old HDD, so here’s hoping i can pop it in my crackBook OK. if not, i’ll be buying a new laptop – even though the new models will come out in Feb. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Re: Indonesia (& comment from Graveetas),
yes, Indonesia is about 90% Muslim; making it the largest muslim country in the world.
however, much to the ire of Malaysia & Middle East, Indonesians are very moderate muslim.
I would say less than 50% of women wear the head scarf; but it depends on the situation and area.
didn’t hear ANY news on Mrs Obama handshaking; but our TV is broken, and my laptop is dead – so not much news for me lately. I have to go to internet cafe to go online. Urgh.

re; my news. I’ve been on 3 dates since arriving in Malang.
Am having MAJOR dramas with psycho Philippino Wifey at home. She has evicted 1 of other tenants, so my house now has an empty room! very stressed.

love you all, miss you all.
Scotty.

PS- my listener line still works! And I have email on iPhone still.
