Year: 2008

Seeing I’m in the mood for blogging but I don’t know what ((well, I could tell you how I cleaned my apartment today)) I’m going to change the Friday Five and turn it into the Saturday Seven.

• What do you see when you are looking out of the window closest to you?
  I see trees, and the house (or big building) across from me
• Who was the last person coming into your room?
  Alex, the Lover
• What is the most predominant colour around you?
  Well, I would have to say that is pink. But also black and grey (monitor, keyboard, printer…) and brown/beige (couch, table, chairs)
• What is right behind you?
  The door to my hallway
• What is on today’s calendar sheet?
  Hello Kitty?
• Do you consider yourself to be a good housekeeper? Why or why not?
  Well… when I’m working my 40-hour-week I tend to neglect cleaning. I come home from work and normally go online right away (ehrm, after working on the PC for 9 hours) or I/we eat or we do sports. After I eat I tend not to wash the dishes. I might start washing after I have a huge pile and no knifes, forks etc left. But in general I think I can be a good housekeeper.
• Do you believe in aliens?
  Well, I believe that there are other creatures out there and not only us. The universe is so huge, it’s endless, so much is unexplored you can’t even put it in words. Maybe engage with it for a while, check out the Hubble ultra deep field ((an image of a small region where almost all of the 3,000 objects in the image are galaxies. It was exposed 10 days, I think)), it’s amazing and unbelievable. Unbelievable, for me.

Do you believe that we’re not alone in this universe?

Ok, first of all: “Thanks Amberlina-Bambina for getting me started with that Pfft!“. Not only do I post that online more and more, but I also go “Pfft” in real life more and more.

So, I have this Hello Kitty Laundry Bag (oh yeah), but I arrive at a decision that it was made for kids only, and not for 26-year-old pseudo Hello Kitty wanna be kids fans again Kitty pink yeeha (did that make sense?) who owns heavy jeans, huge bed linen, a lot of towels etc.

Anyways, it’s falling apart, more and more every day

*Sigh* – I really hope it’ll hold for another year. In a year (or so) the Lover and I are going to move together and then it’ll be way too small anyways.

Whilst taking pictures, like my t-shirt?

It says: It’s better to be a sweet duck than a snobby swan 🙂

Oh yeah, I was really disappointed reading the comments regarding my last post. Most of you have heard about the joke already :(. It’s always disappointing when you come with this, to you, great new joke and then most of the people know it already. That’s tough 😉

My mom sent me an email with some jokes about little Mark. The one below especially, put a big grin on my face 😀

Little Mark on math
A teacher asks her class, “If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?” She calls on little Mark. He replies, “None , they will all fly away with the first gunshot.” The teacher replies,”The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking.” Then little Mark says, “I have a question for YOU. There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream:

• One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream.
• The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone.
• The third is biting off the top of the ice cream.

Which one is married?”
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replied, “Well, I suppose the one that’s gobbled down the top and sucked the cone.” To which Little Mark replied, “The correct answer is ‘the one with the Wedding ring on’, but I like your thinking.”

Hehe

Seeing Birth Control is now a sin and seeing I’m so totally religious and don’t want to commit any sins, in the future I’ll just gobble down the top and suck the “cone” then 😛

Taken from NY Times

A Vatican official has articulated seven new categories of sin “due to the phenomenon of globalization.”

They are:

• Creating poverty
• Excessive wealth
• Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
• Polluting the environment
• Drug abuse
• “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
• “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
  Well, it’s about time that this is officially a sin!

Thoughts?
I started posting my feelings about those statements I got tired though, I’ll try to post them tomorrow.

When I first heard of them, I though “yup, yup, yup, yup, huh? , hm, ah” … after actually thinking about what has been said I feel differently.

Yesterday evening, 19:30 ((7.30pm)), I was sitting at my desk, playing MahJong on Kitty ((I baptized the pink laptop to the name Kitty)). I was sitting there, waiting for my lover to come and pick me up ((to go do sports)), and I was listening to music. Music, that perfectly fit to the atmosphere and my mood.

So here’s a list of Music and Moods:

• Mood: Saturday evening, casual feelings, time to relax, maybe take a bath, light candles
• Norah Jones

  Listening to her music makes me feel warm inside. No matter in which mood I am – she brightens it up with her songs. She has an amazing voice and amazing songs.
• Mood: I’m feeling good and need to shout it out
• Caesars Palace

  You know the feeling you get when it’s sunny outside, the birds are singing, you’re feeling good?
  Their music adds the dot on the i.
• Mood: in a lounge-y mood, background music mood, I-have-the-blues mood
• AIR

  If you’ve seen The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation or other Sophia Coppola movies you know what kind of music this is. It’s not everyone’s taste, but it’s so good.
• Mood: getting-ready-in-the-morning-mood, listening-to-music-loud-mood
• Daft Punk

  Amazing electronic music, which just makes you move along.
  If you don’t like Electronica, there’s a chance you might not like Daft Punk, but they’re another great French Band.
• Mood: ready-for-summer & vacation mood
• Buena Vista Social Club

  I love them. The songs of the old Cuban men make you feel like you’re on vacation. Ibrahim Ferrer and Compay Segundo were probably the two most famous.

FYI, The band’s names link to different pages about the bands or to a list of their songs, in case of Buena Vista Social Club also to a video. Do you listen to different music when you’re in different moods?

… it´s my new obsession… Pink it´s not even a question… Pink on the lips of your my lover, ´cause… Pink is the love you discover

Pink as the bing on your cherry… Pink ´cause you are so very… Pink it´s the color of passion… `Cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink it was love at first sight… Pink when I turn out the light

Yup Pink gets me high as a kite 💡
