I should have worn my ‚Surrounded by Stupidity‘ to work today. Instead I went for another shirt, mostly because I fear the ‚Surrounded by Stupidity‘ might be misunderstood. Or even worse, understood. Nevertheless it would fit the day so far perfectly. If I was just a bit bolder, I wouldn’t have to complain about the […]

So I’m not a dancer. Big deal. I do funny dances for my husband and I occasionally dance when I’m in the right mood and/or drunk and/or the right music is playing. But chances are that I am in the right mood and drunk and the right music is playing and I still won’t dance. […]

I need to stop refreshing my podcast statistics every damn five seconds. I should know by now that though I apparently have a few listeners (How? How did that happen?) the numbers won’t change that often. Damnit. Why don’t they?

How the hell am I going to keep up two blogs? What was I thinking? I know that I intended to use my other blog mostly for information about translating and related things. But it’s already clear that I want to put some of my personal stuff up there, too. So, how will I decide […]

Generally I love librarything. It’s fun, it’s easy, it even makes sense – kind of. But I have one minor problem with it, more precisely with my authorcloud. See, it looks like I’m a huge Dan Brown/Stephen King fan. Which I’m not. I mean, I enjoyed Brown’s novel and I really really liked everything I […]

All our money goes to IKEA lately. A lot of money. A lot of time, too. So it’s a good thing I can at least get a blog entry out of it. Thought 1: Will we go to the special kind of hell you go to for ignoring the IKEA instructions? Somehow they didn’t make […]

There’s only so much time that can pass, before I start worrying why my husband isn’t back from that errand he went out to run. Naturally he always leaves his cell at home, so I can’t even call him to ask what the hell he is doing so long. I hate waiting like that. So […]

I think anybody who lists Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey as their favorite singers should be thrown out of the American Idol contest effective immediately. The reason should be obvious. So, sorry Heather, I don’t think I have even heard you sing, but you just failed the most basic musical taste test. Make room for […]

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 […]

I just realized that I’m already totally envious of all those kids just turning eighteen, going off to school, making big new experiences and I just think about it and get mad because I can’t have that anymore. Sure, I can go back to school, but that would be totally different now. I want my […]
