I had a really weird dream and couldn't get back to sleep afterwards so here I am, catching up on the past 2 days ( Read more... )

So I never liked turkey much. They're nuts about it here. It's everywhere, and even more so on the holidays. While I love chicken in almost unnatural ways, I think turkey is boring and really has little flavor, especially the *huge* birds they make here in the US. I've never seen a turkey sold whole in Europe. A goose, perhaps, but never a turkey. ( Read more... )

I didn't get enough sleep and it shows. I'm mixing up people and pages and feel blah all around. I tried for some sun and a swim to wake me up during lunch but the pool was too warm so it was like floating in a bathtub - ugh. I hate warm pools, not refreshing at all in this heat. Must tell pool guy to make it cooler. He's creepy, by the way. Old ( Read more... )

Looked through old photos and felt something shift inside of me - in a good way. Now I must call Mom and Dad when they wake up to share some of the old memories. :) It's been a hot one and if you want to believe weird-Southern Gentleman-suit-wearing Los Angeles weather dude Dallas Raines, there's more to come. The man probably isn't even Southern ( Read more... )

I was going to post My Favorite Movies Vol. 1 but it messes with the layout and I don't feel like fixing code. I'm in lazy mode. Other than yesterday with partying and all-around wheeness, this was a rather uneventful day. I slept till noon and needed it. Watched a movie that was mediocre at best, "The History Boys", then started on a new book. It' ( Read more... )

I'm really starting to bore myself to death with this but I'm still sick. My voice is a joke. Just when it gets a little better -- as in, NO voice to sounding like an alien vamp  -- the evil coughing fits aggravate it to the point where I'm back at square one. This is no fun anymore, can we please stop now? I've now tried a number of natural ( Read more... )

I'm nervous like a teenager about to embark on their first date.

It's ridiculous but also funny, hah. I called the hotel, got the answering service. It's 2am for him so he's probably snoozing. I feel like the past is about to catch up with me - in a good way, that is - in form of this person whom I've loved to death since I was 13 and who has loved ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm tired of the country stats for now ( Read more... )

1. How far back can you trace your family tree?
To the 1500's on Dad's side. We're still working on Mom's before 1850, a lot was lost in the region in WW2.

2. What is the most interesting (or strange) thing you've heard about one of your relatives?
One of my ancestors who lived in the 1700's survived 3 husbands. Maybe she killed them all? Heh. Another ( Read more... )

Bin gerade mal wieder in die Welt des Deutschseins eingetaucht... Und hab viele deutsche Communities geaddet. Als ob ich nicht schon genug Communities auf der Liste hab mit meinen mehr als 200, hihi. Ich fuehle mich dem "Deutschsein" sehr verbunden im Moment. Was, wie vieles andere auch, auf irgendeiner Weise mit der Jahreszeit zu tun haben mag, ( Read more... )
