Late Qbee BD

On Dec. 15th was the Qbee Blog Day and I was too busy to blog (about anything) on that day.

Anyways, the Quilting Bee is a really neat place.
I joined April first 2007 and I’ve really enjoyed my time at the QBee. There are fun Activities, there’s a nice Message Board, there are talented members like Jem (the Queen) or Bubs, Arien, Ashley, Melissa, Amelie (and much more) who do such great work to keep the QBee so pretty and cute and good running, just like it is.

The great things about the QBee are:

and so much more.

You don’t need to be a great pixel-master, not at all, you just need to enjoy being part of such a lovely community. So…

Join now, will ya 😛 ?

I’m lazy – at blogging

I would have had a lot to write the last few days (I think) but I was just oh too lazy to go through this huge process of clicking two clicks until I’d be here, in the “Write Post” section. Gah!

Anyways, I got the EOS 350D (*biggrin*). The lover was a tiny bit envious, but I told him he’s allowed to….. read the instructions 😀 He was not amused. Then I said he’s allowed to …. buy me lenses. He wasn’t amused with that either. Nah, he’s allowed to use the camera of course. I wish I’d be done with Uni and working at a job so that I could buy a new lens soon. I’m happy with the one included but there are so great lenses out there.

We tested the camera last Saturday and the pictures beneath (scroll down if needed) came out. Fun times 😀

I held my “Turkey” speech today. It went well, it went exactly 30 minutes. The prof loved my Presentation (Powerpoint Presentations = my specialty) so I’m happy with that.
Finally, now that the speech is over I can concentrate on the upcoming exams *joy*.

I got my Dad two presents. A “Candle-light-dinner” for two (including for my mom) and a Dvd called “Am Limit” (on the limit), it’s about two extreme-climbers from Bavaria 🙂 It’s more like a documentation and I hope he’ll like it. I’d like to watch it as well.

I’m not at all in a christmas-y mood at all. You?

To buy

… or not to buy?

The Canon EOS 350d is available for 400 Euro (about 590 Dollar) – which is cheap, well, kinda.
The 400d is newer, but not really that much better, just a few extras. By getting the 350D I could invest in a great Lens I just love. Butt 400 Euro aint less.

Eek – I don’t know what to do. My tummy says “buy it”, my head says “don’t – it’s too much money”. But it’s so purdy and the lenses are just sooo yummy!

At Home – edited

I’ve edited my Amazon Wishlist. It’s so full right now, I wish I could buy everything on it NOW! Do you have a wishlist? What’s on it? For the nosy people out there :D, here’s a link to it.

I’m at my parents place – working on the Turkey Speech (well, and now watching Scrubs). It goes quite well, I wrote about the history, politics and religion. Now I just need to write about the Vegetation, Climate, Landscape, Ankara and Istanbul 🙂

Well, I need to create a Powerpoint too, and make handouts, so there’s still a little more work.

Well, have a nice weekend!

27 questions, no?

I have a headache. I get headaches regularly. I wonder – do I sit in front of the monitor too much? I guess. I can’t help it. (well, I can, but it’s just easier to blame others!)

I could clean, wash the dishes, vacuum, I prefer hanging out at Snark and other unspectacular places. I always wonder how I can stay online for so long. It’s pretty much a waste of time. I can probably list you 5 websites I’ve been to today (Let’s see, #1 Snark, of course, #2 Gmail, my email, #3 Eyeare.nu, #4 … ummm… ummmmm….. my site? #5 Jochen-Schweizer.de ), as you might be able to tell, at #4 I already was uncertain of the sites I visited. So – to sum it up, maybe 10% of the sites I visit are rememberable and the other 90% are just like “yeahsowhatelseisnew”.

When the Lover asks me “What did you do today, sweetheart?” I don’t answer “First I did some more research at the library for my Turkey speech I need to hold in two weeks, then I continued answering a few more GIS questions for the exam and at last I wrote 10 more pages on my diploma thesis. And you, Pumpkin-Pie?” No, unfortunately that’s not my answer. That’ll maybe be my answer in a few weeks, when I’m under pressure (maybe). So I answer “Well, I got up, had my coffee *yawn* … at noon I went to work, got home, ate, and now I’m surfing… why?!?!”
