I'm Looking At Hair Styles

barefoot on the dance floor

Soso, dance also. My ears roar, my four little beer I've sweated almost certainly before hours, and I am psyched. Thus have I
gezappelt much since the legendary Uniparties in Düsseldorf SP-room any more, and felt so well and without restraint, I myself probably never (getting older but what is great!).
adds that I think I never in a "public" place barefoot dancing. Full beautiful.

How funny: when we arrived at the "early" evening in the cellar bar and 5-12 against the first bad songs clearly not fast could ansaufen enough, I went to the DJ and asked him if he could not perhaps a little more rock, or at least play retro more sacred. He said politely did, he regretted that he would quite like to own the yes, but this would not even dance. At this time, no dozen people on the dance floor.
Well, long story short: two hours later (after I Bamboleo, Macarena and La Bamba endure) he is playing Nirvana. Three hours later, he played Clash and the Beatles (Twist and Shout has yet simple), and the final sprint, he puts me on it even Van Halen and Depeche Mode. The dance floor is, of course, all the time packed. But yes no one is dancing to rock. : P

Here it is so cool. But for sheer program I am of course not. For even if we have no classes, there is still enough trips, projects, films, or just homework that keep pretty busy. Now I'm almost a week here, and I was not in the hotel's bar Well, that will change today but probably because there is still all kinds of dance . * Cough *
Yesterday I discovered something completely cool, namely the oldest escalator, with whom I've ever driven:


The piece is in Rotterdam, brings people into the Maastunnel and is probably teilweise deutsche Wertarbeit, weil 1942 eingeweiht.
Sooo cool -- die Stufen und Rand des Geländers sind aus Holz! Und ja, die Leute nehmen da echt Fahrräder mit drauf.

Nach zwei, drei Stündchen in Rotterdam waren wir gleich noch in Delft. Da ist es auch sehr hübsch und definitiv noch mal einen Besuch wert.

So klein und süß die Stadt doch ist, in wiederum zwei, drei Stündchen sieht man doch einfach nicht alles.

Heute habe ich übrigens unter anderem recht erfolgreich aus der Nationalhyme, dem Wilhelmus , deklamiert (und zwar trotz Rechtschreibung, Wortschatz und allem aus dem achtzigjährigen Krieg) -- und habe doch, weil das gute Stück really well written, actually got goose bumps there. I'm probably a girl (or just simply a good Calvinist ...; p)!

Penny Boat Best Design

I'm in Zeist, and it is full of wonderful!

... and that's about as much as I can tell you here and now, for it to do too much. :) Anyway, I have a room all to myself, and there is wireless, so I can hopefully times more often crumble into the Internet. Yesterday we had
after we arrived safely and have got a little something for lunch (including ubiquitous cheese bread: D), just once a placement test, and this morning it was the result. I'm on level 7 of 12, ie just over half. And since I I am also quite proud of it, after all I've learned almost a year in Dutch, and by the way, and there are also people who have the right as the last three or four years UNIFACH. In any event, Group 7 - our teacher is the local linguist, so I've probably made quite well. Except that we got directly homework. And then I'm going to do now sometimes. Kijk dead!

(Oh yes, would anyone feel the desire to call me.. I am in room 224 and you have to probably be put through to the reception desk, the +31 343/492492 If neither just nor evening program courses are then I'm there.))

Kawasaki Mule Wont Run

Austrian geography, heavy geography?

Last night, the storm caused by the issues of the day Disaster warning in Graz reported. But I could swear that they have spoken in the context of Graz, the capital of Carinthia . (Graz course, is the capital of Styria, and Klagenfurt is the capital of Carinthia;. More here )
Unfortunately, I could no longer verify, because the stream of the ARD message, the corresponding contribution was cut out without comment, Tom Buhrow announces the recordings on to, and after that it goes smoothly with the CSU. And now that I would like them linked, there is still this morning to the whole and individually hiding place review of all nowhere on the homepage . Oh great. Fortunately, he was still in the History: rapidly clicking here while he is still there! , P (? But alas, the suspect set is also not ... we have it imagined us or was he really never there)

But this adorable little case of dubious Austria knowledge is not even the only one: just was in one of these poor immigrants and foreign-adventure shows on Vox talk of a young girl from Germany who travels to Austria in order to compete for a job in a hotel. The voiceover announced, it was up to Seefeld in Tirol , while blinded to a place very far to the northeast on the map of Austria:



wait, that's not Tirol! A little Internet research clarifies the puzzle at once: in Lower Austria, there is still a Seefeld , and the intern who was allowed to create the card for the show has caught accidentally. Oh great. But we have broken all laughed sooo when CNN has moved to Switzerland to the Czech Republic at that time, right? : P



No, I will not say we would have to know all of us in Austria. I just think you are an editor of television programs, it now (mE) Germany's most prestigious news or entertaining drivel on commercial TV, some may have to search.

And if the ARD is, then you could simply stand by his mistakes ...


We still remember this pretty "Germany flag, right?

... and the pay off is not implied from the online version, as happened in the previous case.

Underfloor Heating Airlock

Sorry about Little Sunshine

Oh great: there is now really for the first time in one week of good weather, and of course we have directly taken great care to our long pent-up desires for visit-the-ice-cream parlor, food from the grill, in the Garden seats and to satisfy in-the-sun-coffee-slurping. What we have also managed and was really fabulous. The only stupid: I've drawn a tasty sunburn. I'm actually, in July and especially after the nice hot spring, I would be tanned enough and virtually immune, but my cleavage is still clearly disagree. Ouch.

was otherwise the surprising highlight of the short trip "to town" (in Wuppertal, which means classically "to Elberfeld" - fortunately I could to my knowledge no readership of Barmen, which I resent that now) and I am delighted by the very positive development that has taken the city since my last visit. There is one part of the long-planned and now at last and concretized in the pipeline reconstruction of the station forecourt that is a wonderful new goal is to become the city (and make the horrible Gammel tunnel finally over), which we have been in the information kiosk very friendly and explained enthusiastically.

(It ignores the bad gephotoshoppten passer at all, and the live model was really impressive.)
On the other hand, in the pedestrian zone, one or the other comparatively attractive business to come to some shops have been totally rebuilt, and in general no longer sees much so cheap and nasty like even last year.
Maybe someday we can but live again with pride in Wuppertal. Perhaps falls the time together and even in some meaningful with my life center planning.

Printer Running Costs

If all else

Today was my first time in a few years back in the great and almost-all-to-do Düsseldorf University and State Library . There I was last an article for my-copy ever plain paper (although I had actually planned to still quickly finish before my departure for Germany, is it, of course, nothing came - was so clear), and you can say, I knew exactly what I was looking but fairly, and where I would find it. The signature I could already out before searching the Internet, the sites I know after years of study quite sure by heart, and I have copied in my life enough, so one should think that the whole would have been no great challenge. That it then everything was not so easy, has to do with the fact that things have changed in the last few years quite a bit.
are first I have noticed some changes on campus: the University of ponds, where else has every year, hatched a swan family (which has its head also demolished ever car rear view mirror), is almost silted up, a piece next to it is a great site full of excavators and other heavy equipment, heaven knows what is produced there.
Inside the UB then has also been cleaned up: the many display cases, earlier in which cute (and rarely interesting, if I may say so) changing exhibitions on library issues have been shown, have disappeared, and otherwise is the front part of the foyer quite emptied. There was in the back of the lockers with the more full: so full that was to get hold on a hot Sunday afternoon, not a single free trade more. I would be on the verge been thereat break in despair, I had not just been with great surprise a busy young man, including backpacking through the barrier, also on Sunday watched by a stern gatekeeper go-see - something that previously have been totally unthinkable would be: a piece of luggage larger than a pencil case one is in there never came. But whether it's on the comprehensive safety magnet of all the books or the needs of students, laptop bags to carry with you is, on closer observation today, almost one penetrated with a big bag into the holy of holies, and I consequently (though I am so expected a 2 Euro coin had packed for safe!).
That would have been surprising enough, but the real shock was before me at the copier. After 12 years from baseline (yes, * ouch *), including several years as a slave copy student assistant, and with a (sadly lost) best friend with experience in a famous Japanese copier company, I actually thought that something as simple as I expand directory, put-on-the-slice-and-get-out deductions would actually have to manage. And while playing, to be honest. But no.
minutes I have pondered over an error message, according to which could see the stupid thing not original, although the book open completely obvious and ready to scan on the disc was. And while in the upper left corner of the window as yet on any copier that I have ever seen. After a while, and a slowly rising tide of panic a lot to me then in the upper right corner of the window to an icon ... and then the proverbial Scales from the eyes. Okay, create this freaky copier must be the templates upper right . Although I have never seen before, but if one's once white, then of course it works just as well, and the copy will be nothing in the way of success. Until then, I got the odd bit of adrenaline wasted. Phew!
the way home, then I've been thinking extensively about habits, adaptability, expectations, and the like. And I felt a bit old and stuff. And a bit stupid. Hmph.

Fortunately, the subsequent passage to the best ice cream of the city had already been identified, and handmade ice cream off after all-natural, concentrate free ingredients sees the world a different story. Especially if you are invited for the second time in two days to by someone you love.
* melt *

(sample picture from a visit before last year, apparently with some colder weather, probably shortly after the season opening)

Oh, and because it's so sweet and so funny is, there are also fast the song that of love has just played me (in a fit of manly self-knowledge, perhaps?):


Did I hit it pretty good today, actually. : D
