Black 1:
Remember the guy from Dressing for Success?
After blogging about watching him take a long time to dress with his hoodies and coat before getting off the train, I didn’t see him again. It was a bit disappointing, like I had jinxed myself. That changed this morning, I saw him again. He wasn’t as involved in getting dressed this morning: temperatures have risen substantially, but he’s still, oddly, cute.
I saw oddly because he doesn’t even remotely fit my typical profile of cute. He’s shorter than me—substantially so—which is usually a huge turn-off. For whatever reason, he’s an outlier in my book of men I think are attractive, and I have no idea what to make of it.
Black 2:
Over the weekend my computer, whenever presented with a challenging task, would just quit.
Not in the typical Microsoft Blue Screen Of Death, but it would go black and reboot.
By challenging task I mean switching tabs within Firefox. Or starting up Trillian. Or pressing a key in Word.
It was impossible to predict the computer’s sudden quittages, but I am happy to report that the computer department at the office thinks it’s the anti-virus software, and since my computer went through a major update today, it hopefully was fixed.
Black 3:
Anke, my trusted Weimar Office Barista, is going on holiday starting tomorrow.
She’s off to the land of the Tote Mer: Israel.
The last time she went to the beach, which was the last weekend in April, I got sick with a horrific cold in Weimar. While I lack casual proof of the relationship, I am hoping her week long sojourn to the Middle East and the warm beaches at the Dead Sea do not result in me spending another weekend in bed.
It’s a black day when she leaves; although I am hardly innocent when it comes to leaving friends behind whilst traveling.
Flickr Note: I finally uploaded a lot of photos to Flickr that have been sitting on my computer for months—in a couple cases since December! A lot of the photos are crap, but if you want to take a peak, there are 41 new ones to look at.
oooohhhhhhhhh, don’t you dare to get sick!
for one thing you will not be jealous on my middle east travel is the event, that finds its place on the date of the 8th. on that day, israel will celebrate its 60 years existence and i have heard stories, that it is not only comparable to the crazyness that goes on during the 4th of july scenes in the US, but that it is likely insane as the firework crazyness in germany during new years eve.
i do have some worries on that.
i don’t think you will get sick, because there is no way, you wanna miss all the cute boys, i told to sing underneath your window, on your way to the train, in front of the caféladen, in the train, in front of your office window, at rewe and for sure you don’t wanna miss the one, i told to dance around in circles, nacked! while you try to take a seat in the train.
and: i still can see you waving outside your window, even if i am somewhere else!
sorry about, my not carrying the third chair, today!!!
@Anki: Have fun on independence day!!! it should be fun, and if I get sick, I will not tell you about it 😉 The cute men will distract me!
