Just a hello

I get up every morning at about 7am, from monday through sunday. I get up, get ready, take the bus to the library. Sit in the library until about 8pm – stuying. I get home by taking the bus. I sometimes get out one station before my home station, so that I walk a bit and get some action πŸ˜€ some action. Not enough, that’s for sure.
So, should I wonder about my belly being huge?

Normally – when I lie down in bed, my tummy area is a little hollow (is that the right word?) Well, see the demonstration below (images not true to scale):

tummy

See how it “goes in” a little? Well, because I love eating and because it’s winter and because I don’t ride my bike etc blablabla it’s like this when I go to bed.

tummy

Argh, the last time it was so big (for more than a week) was when I lived in the States and gained 20 pounds (the food is just soooo good there) πŸ˜›

*sigh*

It’s not that I’m fat or anything similar, I’m still tiny (just when I gain, I gain on my belly. And boobs), but I don’t feel comfortable in my skin at the moment. The lover asks me weekly if I gained on my boobies, with a big grin of course (on his face), argh – I gained everywhere! I’m sure glad he thinks it’s sexy πŸ˜‰

Anyways, studying is going ok. Geography is interesting, GIS not so much, Quality Management and Print Media is ok, it’s a lot though. πŸ™

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 πŸ˜› ?

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 πŸ˜€ 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 πŸ˜€

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 πŸ™‚ 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?

New layout

As you can see (I hope), I’ve created a new layout. It’s my first with a big footer πŸ™‚ I hope you like it, if something is “irky”, please let me know.
It works pretty much in every browser, just not IE 5.

At first I was aiming to a layout like on chanelwood.com

Layout

I thought it was ok, a little too plain (I always try to create plain layouts, but it never happens – I always have to add… more!)

Then I noticed that Regina had quite the same header (not just a rectangle – but with the nice curve in it) so I decided to take it down again – she had her layout up first, I complimented her on how nice it is and I thought it would be a little strange to come up with the same style a few days later, ehem πŸ™‚

So – Layout #2 was created

Layout

I didn’t like it – the header looks like it has blood drops (imo)

After a day of frustration I changed the whole style completely

Layout

Layout

Layout

Mm yeah, that’s what I mean when I say “I always try to create plain layouts, but it never happens – I always have to add… more!”.
At last I created a layout with no header, just this white box – which, of course, then was too plain for me. And now I have this header you’re seeing. A pencil with ink-drops. A pencil doesn’t use ink, I know, but they are so pretty πŸ™‚

Please excuse, the links are working but the pages are messed up (remember I used this green box for every different topic) so I need to get rid of the classes.

I’m so happy – I edited a php code πŸ˜€
I got the basic code for “Keeping Navigation Current with PHP” from alistapart.com/articles/keepingcurrent and I created an “if else” code out of it (not only an “if”). I’m happy it actually worked.

The Internet Influence

I’m standing in my kitchen, washing the dishes. I have thoughts in my head, I’m thinking about the day tomorrow (Thursday) and what I have planned. So here’s a trip into my brain and thoughts (whilst washing dishes):

So tomorrow, yeah, class… what class? Ah yes, GIS Cartography and in the afternoon Remote Sensing Cartography. Good, I need to see the professor at 1pm, tell him about my thesis and that I chose TerraSAR-X as a theme. Okay… then, in the evening, oh yes, I have Jing-Wen. Wait – is it called Jing-Wen? Hmm… Jing-Wen sounds so – let’s say – fluid. Is that the class I have tomorrow? No… it’s not called that… aah, Qi-Gong – right. Hehe… lolimh (laughing out loud in my head). I have to blog about this.”

Whilst wondering if Jing-Wen is really the name of the class you have to imagine a look on my face like J.D. has on Scrubs when something goes through his head.

Jing-Wen is the domain of the lovely Amanda by the way, and I wonder why that name popped into my head πŸ˜‰

Facebook, Fotos and Thesis

I just joined Facebook a few days ago. Well, actually I joined some while ago (why I don’t know) but a few days I “got into it”. Here’s my link, feel free to add me.

The Lover borrowed lent (Thanks Vera) me his Digital Camera. It’s a Sony 5.0 Mega pixel and it’s quite fun taking close-up photos with it. I haven’t taken pictures in ages but here are a few I took yesterday

On tuesday I started working at the remote sensing company again. I’m happy I can earn a few Euros a week, I really need it for the expensive life in Munich – GAH! Anyways, my diploma thesis is getting more and more final.
Right now there are two topics.

  1. About TerraSAR-X and classifying forest.
  2. About Earthemes, which is a land cover vector layer product, covering all of Germany and the United Kingdom.

I won’t get into detail, because, yeah… but both sound very interesting. So I need to do some research to see which one would suit a thesis more.
I need to go to the library today to do more research about Turkey – the country’s history, politics, religion and landscape. It’s a speech I need to prepare for the Geography Class.

Anybody know some nice details about Turkey?

I like to post pictures

So, I still had a certificate from christmas for “Mango” so I went there today and bought my first dress (go me) πŸ˜€

It’s a little elegant, a little sporty. See for yourself

a little retro – or 60s style – or whatever πŸ™‚

And? What do you think?

I’m working on a new layout. It’s hard, I have very little inspiration. And the layout seems so boring. But I’m working on it every now and again, changing all the code around again, changing the whole layout and colors in PS again. Gah – annoying.

Lovely Days

The Lover and I spent some days in Austria. We made a 7 hour tour to the top of the mountain named “Kuhkaser”. It’s 2053m. We met some lovely and very nosy calves, cows and pretty horses. The pictures below are in a random order.
Pic Pic Pic Pic

Very nice, very windy on the top, very cliffy but definitely worth it (well, duh…). Unfortunately I couldn’t go hiking the next day seeing my feet (and legs, and arms, and back) hurt like crazy.

We watched 9 songs, an adult erotic movie (how I’d call it). Not bad, not good. A love couple having sex, 9 songs playing during the movie…. Lie with me was a lot better (if you’re looking for a movie like that) πŸ˜‰
