The husband, wonderful as he is, got me the Sims add-on ‚Open for Business‘, so now my Sims can stay at home all day and sell stuff in their front yard. They could sell things inside, too, but as of now I really don’t have a florishing business and I don’t want a bunch of […]

Monday evening my grandfather died. Now it happened. It’s strange. In a way I guess we’ve been waiting for it to happen. It was clear that he wouldn’t live a lot longer, so it surely wasn’t a surprise. Still, when my mother told me it came as a shock. I guess it always does. There’s […]

So, if I’m going back to school, I plan on taking at least beginner’s courses in at least three of the following languages: Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Swedish and some eastern european language (preferably Czech or Polish). Finnish is always an option, but it might be hard to find good language courses. I hope I can […]

I don’t believe the last two days actually were a weekend. I spent around 5 hours at my grandfather’s, one to two hours cooking, about one hour grocery shopping, another half hour bringing my husband to work on Saturday and fetching him later, about two hours helping my husband with some things for work, about […]

I just came home after spending four hours with my grandfather. Or rather, my family and my grandfather. I couldn’t spend time there alone, but I’m always grateful of someone else is there and if I have the time I will come, too. It’s strange to see how much he has changed since last year. […]

In case you were wondering if I am joking about thinking of going back to school to become a translator in any way… No, I’m not. The rest will be left for the husband and I to figure out.

Since I decided I’d rather be a translator, I think a really good project would be to translate Amber Benson’s „Accursed – Ghosts of Albion“. As far as I know nobody has done that so far. Not that I really think that I will manage that, but it seems like a fun idea.

Everyone else has done it, Justine tagged me… so here goes. Four Jobs Youâ??ve Had In Your Life 1. Waitress. Twice. 2. Webdesigner. In the end the place went out of business before they could pay me. So I guess it’s okay I still have one of their webdesign books. 3. Giftwrapper at a bookshop. […]

Yes, I’m still here. I just haven’t got enough time to blog a lot lately. But I will be back. Soon. Promise.

In case you were wondering: Yes, the husband is fine. As Kjersti confirmed, men do have the tendency to get lost in whatever they are doing, so that it takes them about twice as long as it would take under normal circumstances and naturally they always leave their cellphones at home, so the women can […]
