Mine, mine, mine!!! XDXD
Heavens, I've got loons as friends, and I'm loving it! *gg*
Loon #1: Jan. She needed to get rid of her car, while the hubby and I were looking with dread towards the end of the year, where a couple of major repairs were due so we could get our own car through the bi-annual technical inspection. Result: as of Monday, Jan's former car is now ( Read more... ) -
Stairs? Stairs? Ahhh, stairs!
|+| The trench in front of the house is gone, our outdoor works for this year finished. Which also means: good-bye gangplank and hello stairs! ^^ Yep, there's no more plank to cross in order to get into the house, but we've built wooden stairs. It's improvised, but hey! we're masters of the trade. And it's stairs. Stairs! *gg*

help and halt
My father's gone on a cure for two weeks, so my mother came for a visit for a couple of days. Which was lovely and also a big help; between the two of us, we managed to prepare the garden for the upcoming winter season. Temperatures have been decreasing quite a bit, so I dare say it was just about time. ;) On the downside, with that visit, I haven' ( Read more... ) -
a good-bye, a break, anticipation, and an enigma
- a good-bye: It's done. My best friend for countless years, Nadine, has moved down to a town near Freiburg, which is about as far away as she could move within Germany. Meh. The hubby and I helped with the packing yesterday, which all went smoothly. Nadine had already left with her cat in the morning, and her uncle and mother followed with her ( Read more... ) -
Did I say NaNo MADNESS? I'm really meaning it. ^^
I know I'm crazy, and all of you have possibly known for a while, too. That being established . . . it occurred to me this morning that it might be a blast to make this year's NaNoWriMo a bilingual experience. Yep, bilingual as in: silly me writing in both German and English. One and the same story in two versions. The idea popped up in my head ( Read more... ) -
NaNo Madness again! XD
It's started. The 2007 NaNoWriMo is on. I'm not sure whether I've mentioned this before, but I'm going to try my luck at something unusual this year: a manga script. Happy writing and loads of fun to everyone else who's participating! ^^ -
Samurai Champloo? Bubblegum Shampoo!
They changed the colour pattern for the bottles of my regular brand of shampoo. Result: bought the wrong one; hair now smells of pink bubblegum rather than wild roses. *Rolls eyes* Ah well, I'll have no choice but to suffer it. ;P -
fun and death and anything in between--which is to say: business as usual
The rollercoaster that is life is going at top speed yet again. My brother came to stay at our place last weekend. We chatted, watched silly and awesome vidoes on YouTube together, and went to a fabu-tastic concert in town (Phillip Boa & the Voodooclub. We'd all been looking forward to it, and I've lost count how many times we've seen them perform ( Read more... ) -

squirrel sex?
Does anyone here happen to know how squirrels sound while they're have sex? I think I might. *gg* The other night, I woke up in the middle of the night (or more like 3 in the morning, actually) to some animal noise I've never heard in my entire life. It wasn't a bird, it wasn't a cat. Somewhere in between, that's the closest description I could ( Read more... )
