I don't think I've been homesick in my life. I like traveling, and as long as I know I'm gonna go back home again after a certain period of time, I don't really miss it. But I do remember that after eight weeks in Australia, it was wonderful to come back to Germany and see green landscape, grass, forest and fields. I loved LA, even though I guess Deb's right, it wasn't vey green either. I would love to go back some time, and I'm pretty sure I will. An encore around the same time next year would be fantastic, especially now that I've accumulated enough Miles & More miles to get a free flight to the US.

Look at this stuff. High-speed photography that catches what things look like during the act of destroying them. Wicked cool.

Pretty cool pictures!

Wow, I love pictures like that! Splashing liquids. Had to add that site on my bookmarks.

It's 7.47 am here now. We just woke up. I so didn't want to get up. I had the sweetest dream ever. I dreamed that I gave birth to my fourth child and it was this adorable little princess that never cried and just stared at everyone and smiled. She had a long light brown hair. Just before I woke up, I was thinking of names for her. I kept doing that after I woke too... :embarrassed:

Makes me wanna think if I should make a home pregnancy test. I always have vivid birthgiving dreams like that when I'm pregnant..

Fire Season has settled upon southern California. This one's scary. It jumped an 8-lane highway and could be headed for the coast...

Looks like we returned back home just in time, huh? Hope they get the fires under control. Nature sure can be a b...ummer.

This has happened to me twice before. Right after I left San Diego in 2003, fires started. And right after I left LA in 2004, same thing. It's kinda spooky.

domesticelefant · 14 Oct 08 :: 17:25

And I thought fire season was over. Guess I was wrong.

That's really sad. I'm definitely going to sign that petition.

For the first time today i've sent an email to the newspaper i read every day about my dissapointment with them.

If you don't like to know spoilers for a film, you don't want to see a major spoiler as you read through it. :angry:

domesticelefant · 16 Oct 08 :: 17:11

That sucks, Simon.

My day at work wasn't that great. Why does everybody always think I am the one with not enough work?

It's great that you say that because I've just gotten back to my desk from a full day training that was all about "time management". One of the things we learned was how to say no without saying no.

domesticelefant · 16 Oct 08 :: 17:34

I need to do that training too!

domesticelefant · 17 Oct 08 :: 17:10

WTF??? amazon.de suddenly doesn't have the English Twilight books anymore. THAT SUCKS!!! :fedup:

Edit: Ah, thank God, it was just some internet hiccup. LOL

I ordered mine at play.com.

domesticelefant · 17 Oct 08 :: 22:41

Can't buy from there, I don't have a credit card. (Which is a good thing. LOL)

Simon · 17 Oct 08 :: 23:18

I feel so frustrated right now.

Just knocked someone's drink, which was hidden behind a curtain, all over my stuff. :angry:

I got a new computer today. It's a little blue Dell named Leroy. I don't have any picture editing software on him though, so I can't make graphics now.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Oct 08 :: 05:59

Cool, Laura. Who'd you name him after?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 18 Oct 08 :: 06:30

OMG! This is HIGHliarious. And... awesome! :rofl: :dancing:

I have a Visa Electron so I used that. And I found out I already had an account at play.com since four years ago my little brother asked me if I could log in there and order him a new game for his ps2. I totally forgot.

CappuGirl · 18 Oct 08 :: 07:08

Our computer screen is busted. I have to press the on-button like 50 times before it goes on. Needs patience. I'll have to see if I get to use this computer next week at all, since JTT is propably gonna send this screen out to fix. He just yesterday found out this screen still has over a year of warranty left. And this is the second time within a year that this screen brakes. Annoying...

I wonder what we are going to do about that processor. I quess we need a totally new one. I know we shouldn't be so mad at the poor thing for finally getting old and dying. We bought it as used in 2003 so it's propably about 7-8 years old. How long do they 'live' anyway?

To be that old, you've gotten your money's worth. These days, you're lucky to get 5 years out of anything. Hope you get everything all worked out soon.
