Year: 2008

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 💡

You little blighter 😛 !!

Bubs sent me a letter (for Halloween and Christmas) and I got it today.
I got home from work, checked my mail and there it was – a big fat envelope. It was soo unexpected! And it made me smile the whole way from the mail-box to the house-door, from the house-door to the elevator, from the elevator to my apartment 🙂

It was unexpected because I gave her my address for Enid (who now is in California) and now I got all this lovely Hello Kitty stuff! I love it 💡

I’m keeping my eye on a Hello Kitty Mouse. Here in Germany you pay 20 Euro (about 30 Dollar) for it, in the States you pay $2. GAH! 🙁

And I just found this post at kittyhell.com (scroll down) and now I want a sticker like that for my lovely pink laptop. I wonder if I’ll find something like that here in Munich. Probably not 😥

I’m excited. It’s not 100% yet, but I might be meeting my long-term online friend Bine from Dresden. She’s probably visiting Munich in March with her boyfriend, I really hope they’re coming, and then we would meet.
Exciting – I’ve never met one of my online friends. I, in generally, know less people from Germany who post blogs or in forums. None of my friends have a site.

Have you ever met some/one of your online friends? If no, would you want to? If yes, was it awkward?

The Search Queries of my last post all went to those posts:

• Just a Hello
  
  for the boob links – I even posted some lovely drawings
• I’m a caprihorn
  
  for the pimple links – “horns” growing out of me

I’m off to work, wishing you a lovely day 😆

I thought I’d check my search queries for schatzi.me and I came up with the following searches:

• How do I get rid of the pimples on my boob?
• Why do I get zits on my face one week before my period
• Red dots forehead zits
• boobs disappear when i lie down
• booby pictures

Heh. 😀

What are some of your weird search queries?

I have been a member of Stumbleupon.com quite some time but never really engaged with it. Until today. I installed the Firefox plugin for it and stumbled around the web. Here are some nifty pages I found:

Now for those readers who don’t give a *** about links, here my lifestory.

After bragging on Sarai’s blog a few days ago about not being sick in about a year – BAM – it hit me and I ended up having my booty hanging over the toilet the whole Friday and my face hanging in my Hello Kitty trash can.

I felt like a fountain – just not as nice to look at.
On the top front and middle behind it came out like water (that’s why the fountain-feeling).

This stomach flu lasted the whole Friday, and then, Saturday, it was all over. Of course I had circulation problems and headache which made me feel worse. The fountain part wasn’t even all this bad (well, it’s not fun either), but after going to the toilet I felt good. But because I guess I didn’t drink enough and didn’t have enough fluids in me the headache got worse. Oh well, today it’s all good again so tomorrow I can go into work with a cleaned out body and new strength (um, yeah…)

We got our grades of the exams we wrote two weeks ago today. On February 14h at midnight, so Wednesday night. I’ve learned my lesson the last few semesters not to stay up and wait to go online and check my results. 15.000 other students may also wait to get online to check and the server will not load. Until maybe 2am then.

So, I went to bed, got up this morning and checked. Here are my results which I will explain below:

• GIS-Cartography: 1,3
• Remote-Sensing Cartography: 2,0
• GIS: 2,3
• Print-Media II: 2,0
• Geography II: 1,7
• Quality-Management: 1,7

Best Grade in general = 1,0, if you flunk you get a 5,0 so 4,0 is the worst grade you can get. It goes 1,0 – 1,3 – 1,7 – 2,0 – 2,3 … until 4,0. 1 = Very Good, 2 = Good, 3 = Satisfactory, 4 = Adequate.

So I did best in GIS-Cartography and worst in GIS. I feel ok about my grades. I thought I did worse in Geography but I also thought I did better in Remote-Sensing Cartography.

Next semester I’ll be writing my last exam (subject: business start-up) and then the studies are over. Kinda sad, but kinda nice though too.

On Monday, Feb 18th I’ll be starting my 42+ week on writing my thesis ((The analysis of TerraSAR-X Data compared to optical data based on the classes coniferous-, deciduous- and mixed forest)) *sigh*. I’m not really in the mood, I’m enjoying my free time at the moment. I really hope that the Remote-Sensing company ((where I’m writing my thesis)) will take me over, but allthough working with Satellites and Satellite-Images is a little dream job of mine, I think I’d be more happy in the Webdesign/Graphical Industry.

So, my next blog posts will probably contain my rants about how much I hate Satellites and how my thesis is pissing me off 😛
