Thoughts on my life
I have been thinking a lot about my life. Lots has happened in the last while, some of it great and some of it completely against how I would have liked it. At the moment I keep ending at the same thought, I really don't have something reasonable to work towards. For years I have wanted to move to Germany and find out what it was like to live ( Read more... ) -
Origami
This last week or so I have been having an extreme urge to start doing origami again. I think this was brought on by visiting the art exhibit in the art museum across from my work last Wednesday. The art exhibit was focused on science... the top floor of the exhibit had a lot of art with geometrical shapes in 2D and 3D. Since then I have been ( Read more... ) -
An Update for the few of you still following my blog!
Lately it feels like I don't write in my blog often enough and as I said before it is a lot easier to posts entries when I am feeling somewhat down. At the moment life is really good ( Read more... ) -
Mutabor
On Friday I went to a concert by a German "ska" band, Mutabor. I had completely forgotten that I had agreed to go to this concert over a month ago. I went to the concert not really knowing what to expect. Here is a link to one of the last songs they played ( Read more... ) -
Voting
So now that I live in Germany I am allowed to vote, which is exactly what I did yesterday. There was a Landes and Bundes (Provincial and Federal) election. Germany has quite a different voting system than in Canada. You get two voices, one for the candidate and one for the party. In the end I kind of like that idea. For me it was quite ( Read more... ) -
Mini-update
So a few people that are relatively new in my life and are just getting to know me have looked at my blog and commented on how I only seem to post when I am feeling down or lonely. I find that that is true, that it tends to be a lot easier to post when I feel down and/or lonely ( Read more... ) -
JoJo's new habit
So last month when I went to England I bought JoJo some catnip tea. Surprisingly she enjoyed drinking it... now we have a small problem. JoJo is starting to steal tea from my roommate's teapot when she makes tea. Silly cat! -
A List
So I think every girl has this list in her head about the things she wants in her ideal guy. I think it is unrealistic to expect to find a guy that matches the criteria... here are 10 things from my list which I consider important (I have left out the standard, honesty, trustworthiness, kind, etc...)
1. Playful I think that possibly the most ( Read more... ) -
The Sun
So I currently live at 54°20′ N and I have noticed a big difference in the daylight here. Just before leaving for Canada for Christmas I was having to turn on the lights in my office around 3:30 pm. This was surprisingly early. I feel quite happy now that I was able to bike to TaeKwonDo yesterday in daylight (~5:30 pm). I was told that the here ( Read more... ) -
Random Training
So it has happened a few times now that I have been asked to give a training at the TaeKwonDo club I currently practice at. I am lacking a bit of self confidence for teaching things at TaeKwonDo which since I have given training a few times is getting a lot better. Another thing is that teaching TaeKwonDo in German can be another challenge, ( Read more... )
