  • Might make it a short work day, as I’m not feeling too hot. Seeing the doc to get another cortison shot in a few hours. #
  • “Embarrassing and ham-fisted”, indeed.. We’ll see if everything will be fixed now. http://tinyurl.com/d7hlwb #amazonfail #amazonsorry #
  • Cortison, yay? At least I can go home now… #
  • Dear @petewentz, you make my heart smile… http://vimeo.com/3605302 (Also, Patrick playing drums – oh boy! *g* http://vimeo.com/3518101) #
  • What with #amazonfail I decided to try out http://ping.fm/5kf9i – international postage adds up, but there’s still real bargains. πŸ™‚ #
  • Dear Youtube, I do not want to sign in with my Google account. I have a perfectly usable Youtube account, why won’t you let me use that? :/ #
  • Whee, the Rejects are coming to Zurich after all, on June 3, after canceling in February. Definitely going! #
  • Aww, Sgt. Hathaway (on ‘Lewis’) and a girl? I’m disappointed- I was kinda hoping they’d keep him sexually conflicted, he did it so prettily! #
  • Currently loving Heston Blumenthal – watching him cook a whole pig in a jaccuzzi entertains me enormously. And on that cheery note, g’night! #

  • Slept until almost 8 – awesomesauce! One more day of freedom… #
  • Watching last night’s Amazing Race. People (ie. the red-haired sisters) should get penalties for rudeness to locals, seriously! #
  • This explains nicely why I was so bothered by #amazonfail: http://www.afterelton.com/TV/2009/4/glitch #
  • Another nice thing about living away from my mom’s eyes: I get to eat poire Helene (pears and chocolate mousse) for lunch… *g* #
  • Babelfish must be the worst online translator EVER. *facepalms* Anyway, the tree outside my window is suddenly covered in leaves – pretty! #
  • Babelfish translation for ‘Blutbuche’, the tree outside my window: blood books. LEO tells me it’s copper beech. Guess which one is right.. #
  • Sitting at the lake, along with half the city. #
  • Aaaaah, so that’s why I’ve been craving insane amounts of chocolate and other junk… *feels instantly justified* #
  • And thus ends my mini-vacation… G’night, internets! #

  • Organ practice before 7am on a Sunday – unacceptable much? *fumes* (Seriously, can I have just one night of proper sleep?) #
  • Happy Easter (or whatever it is you’re celebrating this weekend), everyone! Me, I’m partial to Easter and will go to church later. πŸ™‚ #
  • At the parents. Had pancakes (yum!), now the rents have a nap while I update their computers. #
  • Home from the parents’ – went for a nice walk with my mom, but now my toes hurt from shoes 1/2 size too small. /vanity #
  • Happy birthday, @brendonuriesays – hope you get to cuddle a monkey today! πŸ™‚ #
  • Are you f***ing kidding me? RT: @txvoodoo: Amazon removing sales rankings from LGBT books as “adult”: http://bit.ly/38V63 #
  • Still seething – thank you, #amazonfail… Not sure if it’ll help, but here’s a petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/petition/119673661 #
  • Mwah! http://bit.ly/175pD2 (still #amazonfail – because Lady Chatterley’s Lover? lesbian parenting books? REALLY? *facepalms*) #

  • Just saw the first bee of the year sitting outside my window. We’re definitely moving towards summer! #
  • Huge waitlist at the clinic. Don’t think it’ll be my turn before it’s time to meet Anna. Well, at least shopping is good – H&M for the win! #
  • Sitting in Starbucks, a guy next to me just called Josephine Baker “that n*** dancer” (in German, just as offensive as in English)! Rage! #
  • Catching up with Anna was great – we’ll have to do that again soon. And she looked v. snazzy in her flight attendant’s uniform. πŸ™‚ #
  • Gah, my upgrade to Leopard seriously fucked up my Macbook – who’d have thought I’d run out of space in barely 2 years… Bah! #
  • Muffins in the oven. Whether they turn out is doubtful, as I forgot to buy batteries AGAIN and thus had to guesstimate amounts. Oops? #
  • Muffin experiment ended in success! Not the best ones I ever made, but def. eatable, both the pineapple-coconut and the chocolate. *munches* #
  • Took a drowsy-making antihistamine (as I didn’t get the cortion shot today), so I should sleep quite well… Night, everyone! #

  • Looking for a way to keep track of my social networks: http://www.entrepreneur.com/technology/newsandtrends/article201136.html (via @pingfm) #
  • Trying out http://flock.com – not bad, but missing LJ friends list + multiple status updates. #
  • Wow, I just spent all morning playing around with Flock! Not perfect but an improvement… #
  • Enjoying the weather, walking to check out the botanical garden. 3 boys gave me a flower. Yay spring! #
  • Guess it was too much to ask that the cortison shot would last longer than the min. 3 weeks the doc mentioned.. Crap! *sniffles* #
  • Oh joy, I’m getting to go for a second cortison shot tomorrow.. There’s really nothing else I can do if I don’t want to lock myself away. :/ #
  • Just watched Southland pilot. Looks like a good cop show. The gay cop reveal was blink-and-you-miss-it, though. Hopefully more in later eps. #

  • I have become quite fond of waking before my alarm and catching up on Twitter. Nice way to get my brain in gear. So, morning, twitverse! #
  • Only 6 more hours and then FREEDOM for four whole days! Anyone in the Zurich area feel like doing something tomorrow or Monday? #
  • Let’s get into holiday mood already… http://tinyurl.com/cl38yy #
  • Boss already left on mini-vacation, told us we can leave soonish, too. All in honour of @gerardway’s bday, of course. *g* #
  • I’m already enjoying my mini-vacation – staying up until 11pm, how exciting! πŸ™‚ #
  • Why is the delete button on Twitter not deleting anything? Now I’ll actually have to pay attention what I tweet! πŸ˜› #

  • Had the weirdest dreams – what’s up with my subconscious? πŸ™‚ #
  • Oops! Took me 2yrs to realize that my ankle tat shows through nylons. Still wearing skirt to work – just better not when uberboss is there. #
  • Ladder in my stockings, ugh. Hope no one notices… #
  • Obv. because I decided to wear skirt + nylons today, it’s decidedly cooler than the last few days. Murphy’s Law strikes again. πŸ™‚ #
  • It’s oh so quiet… I have Bjârk stuck in my head. I wonder why… *listens to crickets chirp in the office* πŸ™‚ #
  • Happy Passover to those that celebrate! #

  • The construction noise all around the office building is starting to really get on my nerves. I want my peace + quiet early in the morning! #
  • My job is infecting me: I just looked up some funds my bank offers to maybe invest in. πŸ™‚ Only interested in sustainable bonds, though. #
  • I’m slowly getting into the assistant groove – nagging my boss about appointments and all… *g* #
  • UK people – it’s Gift of Life Day for you: http://ping.fm/T5HYs (I signed my bits away 15 years ago… (http://ping.fm/3TXE1) #
  • Hey, I forgot I bought the Kooks CD. Cool! πŸ™‚ Walking home, feels like summer but without sweating. Happiness. #
  • Yay Vermont, indeed! *highfives* #
  • Current fave tv show: Flashpoint. Been mainlining season 1 – so shiny! #
  • Time for bed. Only 2 more days of work this week, then a looong weekend. Yay for public holidays! πŸ™‚ #

  • Hello, Monday! Why aren’t you over yet? #
  • Considered watching ‘Kings’, but my favorite part of David’s story was always D&Jon., which they’ve apparently turned into antagonism. Sad! #
  • Jon Walker, dude, how so awesome? *g* #
  • Mwah, bandom boys, improving my days since 2008 (what? I’m new in this fandom!)… And on this happy note, g’night, twitverse! #

  • Lazing in bed, almost as nice as sleeping. Should get up and do laundry soon. #
  • Bleh, I’m going to have to go back to pop mail – I think imap is delivering all the phishing emails from gmail spam onto my computer… #
  • Testing iPhoto 09. Their Flickr integration is a huge disappointment. I’ll stick with FlickrExport! http://tinyurl.com/cqao4w #
  • Start of spring in Zurich: tons of people, boats on the river – and 2 camels. Don’t ask, I have no idea. πŸ™‚ #
  • Yum – free vegan gummibears from the organic store at the station (the only place with open shops on Sunday and I needed milk). Lovely walk. #
