Had my disability re-evaluation ‘interview’ with the specialist a couple of hours ago and other than the fact he kept on harping on about how I “looked at everything so negatively” he had to agree I was definitely unfit to work in our current system.

Final word in written form still has to come but he stated that even if said letter would read I was able to work I only needed to call him and that it would be rectified. Thank God!

This coming friday I have to get re-evaluated (round two) to determine if I still qualify for the disability law. They changed some of the laws over here a while ago because some people are abusing it, but I honestly feel that because of my many physical and mental illnesses I am not one of them.

Either way, I do not wish to take any chances so my intent is to start writing down some of my problems as I tend to get nervous and forget to mention the important stuff. I don’t really forsee any problems arising from this evaluation, for even in the instance I will be dubbed ‘fit to work’ it shouldn’t take them long to realize that would be in complete error.

This ‘thing’ drove around my area today, cleaning the streets with its big rough brushes, sucking up dead leaves and junk.

Two identical Philips VCRs for taping/capturing, a region-free DVD player (rarely use it, but it works fine), and a subwoofer next to them which is part of an el-cheapo surround system.Vaguely there’s an Nintendo64 visible on top of the VCRs.(Click for bigger version.)

It’s great, I’ve been without one for far too long.

Currently capturing Mission Impossible 2, now I’m not a big fan of action movies but this is just so boring it’s hard to put into words. I’m waiting for it to end so I can watch something entertaining.

Earlier today I captured The Nutty Professor, which I always found enjoyable. Eddie Murphy is doing a fine job in this remake, far better than his recent attempts.

Some people tend to bash these kind of movies as it’s ‘making fun’ of overweight people, but I think they a) take it too seriously, and b) missed the point altogether.

It is probably becoming a cliche, selling your entire Transformers collection as a child, and regretting it later on.The Devastator in the back is composed of six original Transformers (Constructicons) that I didn’t sell.
