My mother is going to be here soon, so she can take me to my parents‘ place and we can bake a three-layer cake for my cousin’s 18th birthday. Because we are damn nice people. And caring. Really really caring. It obviously takes very little to make me feel good about myself. Tragically it’s the […]

Today we exchanged a dinner and helping my aunt with her computer for my aunt doing our taxes. I think this is how the world should work.

So this is the first day of my week off. Actually it’s the Saturday before the first day of my week off, but anyhow… I won’t have to go back to work next Monday. A great way to start my vacation would be if the postman would ring and bring me Gilmore Girls season five […]

Well, there really is not much, which is the reason why I have been mostly writing about books and music and TV lately. I could write about how I am constantly tired, about how my grandfather is getting worse by the minute and I am too freaked out about that and don’t visit him as […]

The equation is easy: 1 Bee’s Knees + 2 Scarlett O’Hara’s + 1 Zombie + 1 Tom Collins = 1 Drunken Jamie.

Apparently everyone’s stressed and/or depressed at the moment. Or at least too many people to call it a coincidence. Sadly enough I am both stressed and depressed, although I must admit that the second might be caused more or less directly from the first. The second might also be caused by the weather here, which […]

Every morning when I walk to the bus station I take my morning route. Every evening when I come back I take a different route, my evening route. Both times I’m convinced that the route I’m taking is the shortest way to get to my destination. Which, I admit and am prefectly clear on, makes […]

I recently got into the whole cocktail thing. Remember the cocktail set I gave my husband for his last birthday? Did I write about that? If no, you know now. I gave him a cocktail set.
