(no subject)

Soo, some problems solved.
M wrote an email. He waited at another library, and his cell phone batteries went dead so he couldn't call me and I couldn't call him. Nothing wrong with him. *phew*

Is it a sign of weakness that I open any email directed to me with "Bowie" in the subject line, even if I don't know the sender? Probably. But then, who would create a virus directed to Bowie fans only?
And I probably shouldn't write about this terrible weakness I have, or you'll all start sending me viruses in emails titled "Bowie".

It's interesting that I have not yet had much spam in my gmail account. With my other address, I sometimes have moe spam emails than normal ones. Make me love gmail even more.
And thanks to scatteredlogic's tip, I got rid of three gmail invites so far. One of them has definitely resulted in somebody setting up a new account. Though I have heard there are people who will just get invites and keep them, with the intention of selling them or whatever. Seems strange to me, but then I am always surprised at what people will do to make money.

But now for some interesting stuff.

I seem to have started living much more intensively now. I stay up late chatting to people. And I get up rather early to do things I won't be able to do once I move away.

Today, I was really happy to live where I live. Because I live close to the town where the Sky Disc is on exhibit. (For those of you who haven't heard of that - though that's hard to believe - go here.) I had seen it right after it was brought back from the people who had stolen and tried to sell it, before it was restorated. It looks great now.

After we left the exhibit, my Mom took me to the Saale river, to a place where she used to go with us a lot when we were kids. There is a bridge to one of the islands. We used to call it the "Katzenbuckel-Brücke" (Katzenbuckel is, according to LEO "a cat's arched back"), because that's what it looks like. The island is really beautiful, too. It's small, and there are just trees and a path all around the island. You couldn't hear the town noise anymore, and it seemed like being in a whole different world.
Then we went for lunch in our favorite Chinese restaurant. Only my Mom and I like Chinese food in my family, so we go rarely and usually just the two of us.
It was really a lovely day so far.

I still don't know whether I will be able to live on the base once I start working next week. That is a very interesting feeling. Though I have to admit I am not all that worried about it. There isn't much I can do right now, and a little improvisation can be fun.

I have an earworm. Under Pressure. And I know who is to blame for that. *looks sternly at somebody who will know that I mean him* I'm not naming names here, but his name starts with correspondguy ;-)

librarians rule!

I wanted to post something else, but I found this entry in libraries. I searched the article, and here you go:
As the Bush administration has learned -- or at least as it should have learned -- from its experience with the USA Patriot Act, it's never a good idea to tangle with librarians.

Some sentences can't be repeated too often.

Something's gotten hold of my heart

If you have read my journal for a while, you won't be surprised at the fact that I love lyrics.
( So here are some more of my favorites. )

Bush

Slightly political and my third post in something like ten minutes, but anyway.
rev_tobias pointed out something interesting about Bush's website, the official website in his post here.
*LOL*
