New layout. Since most of you probably never look at the thing, click here to see it.
It's just one of the ones you can select, didn't modify any of it. But I like it.
(BTW, the title came from an Eurobeat song, and not... what a lot of you might think ^_~)

Bought some crap at eBay:
Those. I have two pairs of these already but they don't have that hole for your thumb. Can't wait to try them, hope they fit onto my fat arms XD
Lamest t-shirt in the world. But since I always wanted one of those, I figured what the hell ^^

Also, this happened. In the opposite direction. I saw the shirt on Saturday's show and afterwards noticed he'd just bought it on eBay a few days before that. Oh my, what a werido <3

Stuff I did yesterday:

- Beat public transport that tried to fuck with me. Haha >:D
- Had my ugly mug photographed for applications (Maybe I'll show you the thing later...)
- Ate donuts and other bakery stuff from a take-away bakery. I had no idea these exist, but then, I'm from the middle of nowhere XD
- Bought a couple of socks because I'm running out of them (Blackadder reference, anyone? :3)
- Wrote biiig application to the store I told you about yesterday (GoshIhopetheytakemeohprettypleasepleasethanks ^_^;;)

Stuff I did today:

- Scanned and copied high school graduation certificate and uni kickout certificate
- Called too see whether I can still join the running CPE prep course. Will apply (and pay) for it tomorrow morning, first class on Monday *squee*
- Applied online for another job at another electronics store. Ahem ;)

Yes, looks good so far.
OMGROFL. Just now, the cats stretched in unison. Awww ^^
Ah, there's Yama. C ya!!

My parking sign arrived.
So did RJ. He's so cute and totally soft *cuddles him*

Last night, Stephen had an unusual lot of troble keeping a straight face. Adorable <3
And during the check-in with Jon, they both cracked each other up. Don't we all love it when that happens?
But this week's highlight (apart from the marvelous interviews with Bill Gates and Neil deGrasse Tyson) was the "emboldening terrorists" thing with John Oliver. Holy cow, that one made me cry with laughter.
BTW, I was surprised to learn that Oliver's only four years older than me. But maybe I just can't get used to the fact that I'm not fourteen any more ^^;;;

... too much TDS/TCR blogging these days...

Articles like this one do make me happy that I didn't spend my entire childhood sitting in front of the TV and eating cereals. No! I actually played outside and read books. Oh, and I started writing/drawing comics in third or fourth grade. Hell, I'm so weird XD

- Eating at Subway and trying the tuna sub that bro recommended. Me likey =)
- Free Latte Macchiato because mum collected all those bonus points on her card
- Visiting the all-new Media Markt (electronics store) for the first time. So big and shiny and full of geeky stuff ^_^
- Laughing my ass of at mum joking and flirting with a 27-year old electronics sales clerk O_o
- Checking for VCRs and seeing that they're dying out bloody fast

In a few minutes, I'll drag my ass outta the house oncee again. It's Kou-chan time! Still haven't tested the radio so that's the first point on my list. Then, I'm gonna cruise around a bit and shop for some groceries and prolly the newest c't mag. Uh-huh, sounds good. C ya *wavey*

Did some research. Found some... uh... interesting thigns ;)

#1
Yes, those are EYELASHES. Well, they kinda make sense since a) to me, cars' headlamps are not headlamps but eyes, and b) the Twingo's eyes look particularly alive. Still... ugh XD

#2
Two pieces of metal that, when attached to your Twingo's headlamps, give him an evil look. Unfortunately, you'll have to mount and colour them yourself and you have to talk to the car registration people about it as well. Adorable and cool but sadly, too much of a hassle T______T

#3
A sign saying "My Twingo parks here". Just one word: Awwwwwwwww <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

#4
Blue LEDs for the displays. Oh, you can see the digital speedometer quite well on the item pic!

ETA: Got the ghost after all. Love him ^^

The heating is dead. Repair guy will come tomorrow. It's cold everywhere except in the dining room where we have a good old wood-eating fireplace. I think dad has actually moved there now.
Mum's at choir practice, dad and I made some mulled wine to stay warm.
And now, I'm huddled in bed with Kan-chan to watch some SG-A.
Max is still downloading some stuff for me but since he's a big computer (and since I just shut off the Vista standby option that put him to sleep after just one hour ^_^;;;), he can do it alone.

What else...

Oh yeah. I found out that I don't need the Ultimate edition of Vista since the additional stuff it contains is just programs I can't even name let alone have any use for. What I need is just Home Premium (Home Basic actually lacks the pretteh Aero Glass surface which makes it pretty worthless and hardly different compared to XP =_=).
A System Builder copy of Vista Home Premium that would cost me 119 Euros. And I'm talking about a GB one. Yes, my favourite PC online shop actually sells British copies of Windows for the same price as the German ones. How would Borat put it? "Wow wowie wow" =)

I'm also thinking of giving Max a second GB of RAM for Xmas. It makes sense since he might very well be running Vista for the rest of his life and that eats up a shitload of memory.

Qi 4x11 is downloading right now so I'll take the chance to tell you about the weekend.

( Beware, loong! )

And now...

thefridayfive -- December 8, 2006

1. If you could, would you be a movie star or a rock star? Which one, and why?
Neither. I think I'd like to be a stand-up comedian. That'd be fun =)

2. Have you ever been in the media (TV, radio, papers)?
I've been on the radio once (interview about weblogs, summer 2003). And I've been in the local newspaper once or twice back in kindergarten/elementary school.

3. Do you know anyone who's been on a reality TV show?
Well, if I did, I think I wouldn't want to know them any more O_o

4. Have you ever met anyone famous?
Define "meet" aand define "famous". I talked to Knacki Deuser (German comedian) for about 17 seconds in 2005. Dunno whether that counts...

5. Who would play you in a movie?
No idea. Really X_x

Now, you all know that I like to buy things on eBay. And at times, I do it quite often.
So why is it that now that I've got a 7€ gift token from PayPal, I suddenly don't have the faintest idea what to get?!?
*pants*
This is seriously fucked up O_O

joekickass posted some songs from the "Borat" soundtrack. Which made me search for Ali G videos on Youtube because I, too, think that he's the better character.
What fun :D
Watching that stuff again made me realize four things - a) I love that guy b) he is terribly funny c) I've seen an awful lot of his themed interviews (weapons, drugs, language, religion...) d) I'm ashamed to ever have watched ther German ripoff because it's so very, very bad compared to the original.

Anyway. I also read a couple of things about Sacha Baron Cohen so once the Borat movie is out, I'll be able to explain him to the people around me. Cuz I'm sure SOME of them will not get it. Like most of the people he interviewed as Ali G didn't get it and like some TV viewers and media who managed to confuse his characrters with his real self >:|

In other news: CD 1 and 2 of Star Trek: Borg are nearly finished. #3 might take a bit longer, tho. Still, it'll be nice to finally be able to play the damned thing. Oh, and OF COURSE I'm still planning to buy it later. And now... I need to go and search for some CD-Rs to burn the ISO files. Damn DVD age ;)

ETA: Oh! I completely forgot something. I ordered some stuff on eBay. A cellphone data cable and some rechargeable batteries for bro. It makes sense cuz *he* doesn't wanna open his own account but *I* want the rep points. Talk about a win-win situation ^_^

But he was just too adorable to leave at the shop:





Biiig Goleo ^_^

He's one of the bigger models (40 cm / almost 16 inches) and cost 5€ (priced down from 29.99!!!). Why was he that cheap? The World Cup being over isn't the main reason, it's rather the fact that the company that made the mascosts went bankrupt. It's kinda like the Big Videogame Crash in the early Eighties. Back then, kids were really happy about the whole industry going down cuz games suddenly cost like, $1 ^_~

Awww, he's so CUDDLY!

Mmh... maybe that's an idea for yet ANOTHER new section over at takaraMONO... plushie gallery... mmh...
