I just realized that aside from using „google“ as a verb like everybody does these days I also think that copy and paste is really one word. More like copy-and-paste. Or copyandpaste. I hardly ever use one without the other anyway. But the most important thing is that when using it in past tense I […]

This night I had a very strange and creepy dream about a (the?) tsunami. Today I realized that it was exactly one year ago that the tsunami happened. I hadn’t thought about that at all. How strange is that?

It took me a really long time but I finished one of the Sudoku puzzles labeled „Champion“ in my book tonight. How cool is that? I haven’t gotten around to those „They’re-So-Hard-You-Will-Need-Extra-Clues“-ones yet, because deep inside I’m a real sissy. And that is what I will do now. Until I got a new decent book […]

I just wanted to mention that I have songs sung in the following languages on my iPod (and therefore my computer): English, German, French, Italian, Spanish (only I think that’s just one from one of Caitlin’s mixes), Japanese, Icelandic and Estonian. Oh, and Welsh. I also have some Portuguese (namely Arto Lindsay) and one lonely […]

For the last two years a fashion company here had a little online game on their website where you were a little Santa Claus on a sledge and had to collect presents and stars and avoid the bad trees and snowmans and whatnot. I must have spent hours despeartely trying to break the high score. […]

Everybody’s trying to tell me we need a dishwasher. Here’s a shocking fact: I don’t need a dishwasher. I don’t want one. It’s not like I am against dishwashers in general or that I completely rule out ever owning one, but our kitchen is fitted and filled perfectly, so I wouldn’t even know where to […]

I’m like a cat. My hair is everywhere.

I am very good at reading maps. I’m like… a map-reading genius. I am not so good at giving directions, though: Me: „Okay, now you have to go there!“ (pointing in one direction) The Husband (reasonably focused on the traffic): „Where?“ Me: „There. THERE!“ (hectic arm movements towards said direction) The Husband (reasonably getting nervous): […]

My amazon wish list has 160 items. And I still want them all. I delete stuff all the time, but for everything I delete I add an average 2,72 of new things, so I don’t think I will ever get everything I want. That, my friends, is the curse of the overly interested. I sometimes […]
