*tap tap* Is this thing on?
… so again I should probably head to bed soon, but let me first ramble for a while. Maybe the time has come where I will finally update more regularly again? Dunno, we’ll see I guess. More »
Hi! 😀 We need a working email address pretty please? ;;)
The one I have seems to be dead. 😕
Btw I knew some people who did the “graveyard shift” at our supermarket, it’s quite tough. It’s just so incredibly dead and boring. 😐
And you should enable comments again!!!! :((
The end. 😀
I need to be off to bed real soon cuz I have a dentist appointment at 6.30 tomorrow morning but I thought I’d give y’all a quick update about, you know, stuff. Sooooo the big news is, YES THE SALE HAS FINALLY BEEN COMPLETED, I AM THE PROUD OWNER OF A KEMP TOWN FLAT!!!!!!! I got the keys yesterday!
We’re starting the decorating this week-end, off to B&Q tomorrow to buy paint for the lounge and the bathroom (the only rooms where I have definitely decided on the colour) and then Sat & Sun Antje and I will paint paint paint! That’s about as far as my brain can reach at the moment, I have my appraisal to write so I’ll delay any more scary stuff until Monday.
Then what other stuff was there…. I’ll be returning the iPhone for various reasons (mainly battery life and random odd behaviour) – might not make a difference but I’ll do it just cuz I can! Also, the backroad shop with the cute Russians managed to fix my broken Sony… and once they had I gave them the older one too and hey, they fixed that one too! *lol* So now I have 3 working mobiles again. Still hate T-Mobile tho (oh my entry is back on the 1st page of google lol, even tho I’ve actually deleted it), but now I also hate the guy from the other store who told me 6 months ago he couldn’t fix the phone. Anyone interested in buying i-hate-tmobile.com? *lmao*
Ah yes I also finally applied for the BA Amex card… I waited until I could tick “I own…” on the application form cuz I don’t earn enough to qualify anyway. I will probably get it too late to buy any major flat-acquisitions on it, but oh well. Ah and I’ve just booked my flight to Paris 14-17 March – going with mum – which means I will need to have completed the move before then (my “moving out date” is 18th of the month) but Jana my interior decorator thinks we’ll manage fine.
Ok I think that will be enough for now. Must force myself to sleep.
Goodnight!
PS Oh and I am mildly obsessed with the stock market at the moment… not in a “buy buy buy!! selllllllll!!!” way, but in a “how fascinating to observe” way. Just a consequence of the recent stock market crash and my having an iPhone where I can look at pretty graphs with dramatic ups and downs. Especially downs. *lol*
Ok so here are some pics of me and iGor the iPhone… More »
First post from my iGor. While sitting right in front of the desktop but it’s the idea that matters. Pics soon jaja.
and it’s damn hot and fills me with pleasure.
More tomorrow (incl. pics, videos, an iPhone raindance and anything else you fancy) cuz now I am so so so tired. OH so tired. Which really sucks when you wanna spend all night playing with your new toy. :)) But oh well. 😛
[more tomorrow?] That’s what I said, but now tired again. Weekend soon yes?
… well I’m still going through my pics and altho I’ve now found a way to rescue the files that crash Explorer it’s still time consuming and tedious and Explorer keeps crashing. I’m up to 2005 tho and so far my “selection” folder has about 75 pics. God I have sooo many pics of me displaying my latest hairstyle or -colour – I might turn that into an entry of its own. :)) The many hair-faces of Clarissa.
I’ve also decided to register for organ donation again – I used to have a donor card years ago in Lux. Anyway I’ll wait with that until I’ve moved. What I will not wait with however is registering for Amex BA card because it will make sense to put all my major flat acquisitions on that and collect some serious mileage. So will do that tmw.
What I will also do tomorrow is go see my solicitor – the flat saga is finally coming to an end, and fingers crossed we’ll have the sale completed by the end of next week. Like seriously, oh my God, is it really happening? Yes yes here’s hoping!
Oh, and on my way back from my solicitor I will… pop into O2 and get myself a shiny new toy, a.k.a. Igor the iPhone!!!!! So I was a good girl and waited until after the Apple Keynote, and 3rd party applications should / will be possible, I don’t care what this means in practice, I WANT A NEW TOY NOW!!!!! ! I hope I won’t regret it like the iPod purchase, but I’m sure I won’t. =P~ Oh, and isn’t the Air damn slick too? I’d hate to become one of them Apple freaks but you have to admit that is one hell of a sexy laptop. (sorry Tommy! forgive meeee!) It’s all Tobias’s fault anyway, yada yada Mac Mac Mac!!!! :no
Hum yeah. Dentist tomorrow too. And year-end-appraisal preparation meeting. Now that is gonna be fun (not the meeting, actually writing the appraisal). As you all know I am so great at “praising myself” – it’s like writing a damn job application all over again! 8-| At least I do have the certainty that I have done well – I know this, I have proof. I just… have to put it into words. Yay. *lol*
Time for bed. Over and out.
I am impressed with myself cuz it didn’t take me 3 months after all – I managed to salvage I’d say about 90% of my digipics off old CDs, DVDs and the like…. it came up to about 16,000 files, starting in summer 2001.
Currently I am going through them and deleting blurry ones / excessive repeats (30 close ups of my eyes taken on the same day etc *lol*), and also at the same time making a small selection to hopefully be included in one, or more, long ass picture entries in the reasonable future.
Unfortunately my Windows Explorer keeps crashing while I do this and I don’t know if it’s due to a faulty hard drive, the potentially partly damaged files, or something else entirely… and I am too terrified to investigate. WHAT IF I LOSE IT ALL!? Must buy external drive soon and back up. :-S [issue sorted]
Next up… same thing with my music collection! 😀 (hooray! *lol*)
