3 weeks of holidays, heaven! Plus one day: my course tomorrow has been canceled, I'll be able to drive to the airport early so I won't have to fret about traffic and being too late.
I'll be gone over the weekend, I'll be back on Monday!

Now my mobile phone is dying. The single keys often don't do what they're supposed to do anymore but either nothing at all or something completely different. Yay.
I liked my Motorola V so much I didn't take a new mobile when I renewed my contract last year. Now they won't sell me a new one and I had to search and compare un-locked mobile phones all over the Internet for 2 hours.
I decided for the Nokia 2760 from Amazon - there were cheaper phones around and I don't need my phone to have an mp3 player or any other fancy stuff because for that I have my PDA - unfortunately it had to be a camera phone. Don't laugh. My happiness depends on it.

When I stepped on the scales this morning Brötchen looked at me and said something like "and me?" so I weighed the cats, too.
And found out that I've lost more than 14 cats by now. Well, 14.2 Brötchen cats. Or 5.5 Paulinchen units.
(Brötchen is 2.3 kg, Paulinchen is 6 kg)

Hi, this is me. Really. Prove it? Er... see: no mustache (or beard at all!). Ich kann auch was auf Deutsch schreiben, das sich nicht nur vage nach Deutsch anhört sondern aus tatsächlichen deutschen Worten besteht!
So I spent large parts of this day on the telephone with technical support. One after the other led me through different procedures, had me click on things, tug on things... and in the evening they got the message from the telephone line provider T-Com that there is a malfunction in *their* system. Yes, T-Com waited the whole day to part with this marginally interesting piece of information, so I and 6 (!) technical support guys spent the day trying to fix a problem that didn't exist on our side in the first place.
Also: apparently this had nothing to do with me trying to get away from T-Com. Pessimist that I am I expect more trouble with *that* next week.
But at least T-Com fixed the problem faster than promised, I'm back already and it's not tomorrow noon yet.
Thanks, Chris, for the, well, hm... "guest posts"? :o)
Yes, I dared him and he delivered. :oD

| ... on my next CD I want to do some good (after all the evil I did with the last one ... I'm really sorry that Limburg was sucked into that dimensional vortex and that the rats came back to Hamlyn ... but you can't blame me for Hamburg, it was like that when I got there!)
So ...
... I'm going to do a charity auction ... I will wear *any* outfit (no matter how silly or revealing) on the cover of my next CD ... all you have to do is pledge five euros and tell me what outfit you want me to wear ... a group of people who don't like me (so that's all of you really!) will go through the list and pick the weirdest, sexiest or most revolting and I'll wear it on the cover ...
... or for ten euros you can pick a word that I will have written across my forehead in big black marker that I have to wear all day for the Saturday of a filkcon ... it can be as silly, sensible or rude as you wish ... extra points if you can spell it correctly!
And for fifty euros I will wear it on my forehead the next time I'm flying somewhere and so it will be seen by checkin, security and all the passengers on the flight ... remember it's all for charity! [1]

| ... where I was a perfectly normal, intelligent, fun, and wonderful blonde with lots of good friends who liked my music and were pleased to see me ...
... thankfully I woke up! Ewwww, what a *horrible* dream ....!!
I'm *not* a human being, I'm a MONSTER!!! And the sooner you get that through your puny heads, the better!
Hah, your puny intellect is no match for my mighty weapons!!
Now I must return to my secret research lab (they think I'm just there to teach classes, little do they know my real purpose .... to overthrow the rule of that tyrant Colonel Harlan Sanders and reveal the "secret" of his secret recipe!
I *know* the secret recipe is part heroin, part breadcrumbs and part Martian poop ... and when you find out that they use WHITE breadcrumbs that will put you off those chicken zingers forever!!
And I can see you, the_magician thinking about changing this entry just because you have guessed my password (I've changed it now, it's not "KFCsecretLoveChild17" anymore! Far too easy to guess, my fault) | | 3 demons<add something> |
| ... did I ever tell you that I collect cheeses from around the world?
I have a collection of over 4,000 different cheeses, from tiny packets from onboard aircraft to very large wheels of cheese from England and France and as far away as Australia.
It's a fascinating hobby and I'm glad to announce I'm the Guest of Honour at next year's Culture-Cult Convention, where I'll be wearing my new samurai outfit made entirely from sliced cheese ...
... admittedly it does have both good times and bad ... like the last couple of weeks where the temperature was over 30C and I have no airconditioning (and no refrigeration since that incident last year where they found my collection of voles I was storing in the fridge ... I pointed out that I'd made them little fur coats and that none had died ... but they still took my fridge away ...) ...
... and yes, the brie and other soft cheeses are perhaps a little runnier than I'd really like, but the plastic sheeting on the floor means it doesn't drip down into the flat below so it's ok, really.
You're all welcome to visit, but please remember to remove your shoes before coming in ...
... everyone except the_magician who wrote this vile slander about me! | | add something> |
| .... I've not wanted to tell anyone this, but ... well, I needed the money ...
... and to cut a long story short ... I'm carrying Paris Hilton's baby!
The money is good, and they said they needed another airheaded blonde [1] so no one would suspect ... and I wasn't doing anything important anyway ... so for the next six months I'll be sipping champagne and sniffing coke, so that the baby will come out and know what his/her mother will smell like!
But please don't tell the press, they'd only try to email me, and my internet isn't working, especially my ability to post to LiveJournal (see footnote 1!)
[1] so air-headed, that I gave the_magician my password! | | 3 demons<add something> |
| nelladarren has been told by t-com that they've broken her internet and she won't be back online until noon tomorrow, but of course it could be longer knowing them ...
If you are expecting a comment or an email reply or an IM or something, then this explains why you haven't heard from her.

"If getting upstairs makes you go "oof!" you might not be fit enough for the exercise bike" I wisely told myself, turned on the heel and went back to my living room.
(I woke up with a cold this morning; sore throat, monster head, temperature, bah. And I've learned not to force myself if I don't feel fit enough.)

Hi everyone, I wanted to warn you up front: There's the possibility that I might not be available by land line or computer for a (hopefully) short time next week.
I'm changing my phone/DSL access (moving my telephone mainline from Telekom to my DSL provider 1&1) and when they activate that I'll have to change all the hardware (phone box thingy, router), the old hardware won't work anymore.
( but why not make things more interesting )
All I can do is wait and see if they'll really send me the hardware and if anything happens next week at all - and if: that things will work smoothly as they are supposed to be. Then my connection outage will only last minutes/hours.

I went into a cheap stuff store to look for flip-flops to wear on my way to the pool and came out again without shoes but with a wild-cat print set of swab and dustpan and a can of soap-bubble liquid*.
Knowing my way of housekeeping this stylish cleaning equipment has a good chance of staying one of the cleanest items in my apartment**.
* Teehee, cats don't "get" soap bubbles; very funny.
**Yes, I wrote this post because of this sentence.

I just made appointments with 4 different doctors.
The first day off I'll check out another endocrinologist (in Frankfurt), the second day off I'll be at the dentist in the morning and at the ob-gyn in the afternoon (both local).
That sounds like a really horrible day but I hope the dentist will leave me alone, I mainly want to discuss my jaw problems, and with the ob-gyn I want to talk about further options after the pill disaster.
The last day here before I'll fly to the UK for Harmuni and a week at a not yet determined destination I got an appointment to check out a new GP.
I feel so accomplished, 4 doctor's appointments and still time to hang, swim, read and maybe visit or get visited by salika.
2 weeks to go, countdown sequence has been initiated.

To me Ladival anti-allergic sun lotion smells faintly like puke. To dogs this apparently is very appealing. When I returned from the pool this morning I was lick-attacked by two small dogs. Simultaneously.

Last week 90.8, today 88.9!
After the pill fiasco progress had slowed down, almost stagnated - now it's melting off again. Yess!

I won the battle with my internal hog-dog penguin thingy*, got up at 6.30am (after only 4 hours of sleep, too...) and went swimming with the pensioners at 8am.
There are fierce well-agers out there, they'll mow you over in no time; at the same time there was one woman who insisted on floating on her back in the middle of the pool, splashing water like mad on herself and everyone else, swallowing water, retching and coughing - for about half an hour. I think she thought she was swimming. And no-one dared to ask her if it might be possible to do that at the shallow end where no-one was trying to swim.
My minimum goal was half an hour, I actually wanted to do a whole hour, but after 40 minutes I got a cramp in my thigh and had to get out and jump around on one leg. I'm feeling very accomplished and if this doesn't knock me out completely (swimming usually exhausts me for days) I'm going to do it again tomorrow.

My class with apprentices - in the course of a grammar example ("Michael Jackson died yesterday") they got a bit agitated, someone went "and some old actress, too!"
Others: "Who?!"
A: "I don't remember the name - she was blond and in 'Charlie's Angels'"
Others: "Oh no, Cameron Diaz is dead?!?!"
