Skandal (Skandal)

Other than that I was recently reminded of how much I love this song there is no, I repeat NO to post the folling, but I' ve done it anyway.

Also I haven't bothered much about lyric lay-out. Who speaks German anyway?

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus
Doch Freudenhäuser müssen raus,
Damit in dieser schönen Stadt
Das Laster keine Chance hat!
Doch jeder ist gut informiert
Weil Rosie täglich inseriert
Und wenn dich deine Frau nicht liebt
Wie gut, daß es die Rosi gibt!
Und draußen vor der großen Stadt
Stehen die Nutten sich die Füße platt!

Skandal um Rosie!
Ja Rosie hat ein Telefon
Auch ich hab' ihre Nummer schon.
Unter 32-16-8
Herrscht Konjunktur die ganze Nacht.
Und draußen im Hotel d'Amour
Langweilen sich die Damen nur,
Weil jeder den die Sehnsucht quält
Ganz einfach Rosies Nummer wählt.
Und draußen vor der großen Stadt
Stehen die Nutten sich die Füße platt!

Style?

Your Style is Bohemian

When it comes to fashion, anything goes for you... especially if it's whimsical and fun. You draw your style influences from all over, and you are a pro at mixing and matching. You believe that fashion rules are meant to be broken. You don't need anyone to tell you what looks good. You rock your own unique and free spirited style. And many people secretly envy you for it.

What's Your Style Type?

One thing is certain, if (and I do say IF) I am envied IS in secret.

Concerning Paper Handkerchiefs

(To the wider public known and addressed as 'tissues'. )

Having just recovered from a little cold, ( Read having lived in denial of my illness for three days, only to feel more miserable every day and spending the weekend certain of my soon demise) I noticed while looking for something to blow my nose in, the following:

1) All the fabric handkerchiefs I have are child sized and dito decorated.
2) I have enormous amounts of packs of tissues from which only one was ever used. This lead to the conclusion that I have a lot of available tissues and that ...
3) Paper once designed in colour, touch and smell to relieve the headached and worn-out ill masses may in less than two years completely dry out and metamorphose in vile squares of newspaper paper texture and stiffness.

Happy 2011 Valentine

Since there will always be at least one reader who is into mushy commercial holidays :

To everyone else and especially the pining lover, who the horoscope of Flair predicts will tell me of his/her love: I have spent all the years that I might have cared for Valentines gifts single, the caring is over but I intend to be single for a little while longer so don't bother getting me something.

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.

I'll it know that the above is no expression of my personal opinion though.

Soup for the soul

First of all; I may have stolen the title of this post from a famous movie script writer but I can't remember so if anyone feels like complaining about it. Just let me know I'll change it.

Secondly, I don't know if the soup currently brewing in my cauldron is actually good for the soul. I just had a lot of carrots and felt a little hungry.


Ingredients

• 3 parts carrots
• 1 part onions
• 2 parts dried green lentils
• 1 clove of garlic per 500 grams of vegetables
• 1 teaspoon of thai green curry paste per 500 grams of vegetables
  
• lump of butter

Way of the chef
Wash and dice your vegetables. Bronw butter on medium heat in a big enough pot. Chuck in all ingredients and about 1 litre of water for every kilogram of solids. Boil away.

Forget about mixing, season with grated parmezan.

I -totally- second this.

I always find it more difficult to say the things I mean than the things I don't.
W. Somerset Maugham

Phone-/Lifeless part two aka Rant VII

In case you had not noticed from my absence the past two weeks. I suck at communication. I have been without mobile phone for about three weeks now, and I daresay there has only been one instant so far that I actually missed it. I have also been without access to my google account (including e-mail) for about a week and again I barely missed it. True it was rather inconvenient for the people that have wanted to contact me but as far as I figured; I almost couldn't care less.

Except of course that it has been impossible for everyone to contact me. Everyone including him. Him being the one person I never declared myself in love with despite being hot wax in his warm loving hands. And it drives me crazy. Crazy that it takes me almost two years to realise that it doesn't feel like any crush before because they were in fact crushes and he isn't. It's different. Totally different. Completely different.

New Year's Resolutions

To that I will add one of my own. Say goodbye to self hate, self loathing, self pity and feeling miserable for no other reason than that I think too much.

Merry Christmas

Love and warmth and joy and booze. Seasonal greetings everyone!

Phone-less/ Life-less

I've done it again, relocated my mobile phone to a place where I will only find it back after I bought a new one. I'm sorry to nconvenience everybody that wanted/ wants to contact me in the next week or so but you'll have to mail/ write/ telepathise your message.

Start People

The title of the post refers to the company that was unlike so many others succesful in getting me a temporary job. For those of you curious after my soon to be (temporary) employer. The picture should be a clue.

Troubled

I dare say it's all true, but I doubt that this is a trait nobody knew about.

The Part of You That No One Sees is Troubled

You are compassionate, caring, and soothing. You like other people to depend on you... In fact, you don't feel right unless you are helping someone out. Underneath it all, you feel the burden of everyone's problems. Without your guidance, you fear that many people's worlds would fall apart. You like to feel in charge, even if it brings you a lot of stress.

Star Trek - The start of a new obsession.

Me like so me want.

Alas.

Funny though not entirely accurate. Apparently some men are aware of female lifeforms and have initialysed a primitive form of communication.
