Everytime I see the word "Fräulein" (Miss) and its usage discussed online, I wanna jump through the computer and shiv people. |

Sidenote (because I don't wanna do negative commenting on hot_daily): I like Hugh Jackman. I find him hot. But only when he's dressed up as Wolverine. |

This is what it's looked like for about a week. Today at least minus the rain.

Y'know, I love watching the Target Women things with Sarah Haskins. Because, awesomecakes.
And regarding the Carl Jr's ad where the guy cries when eating a slice of jalapeno?
IF YOU CAN'T EAT A SLICE OF JALAPENO WITHOUT CRYING YOU ARE A WUSSBAG
A BAG OF WUSS |

| Oh Opera |
[Jun. 5th, 2009|02:55 pm] |
I love how the opera fandom is just as wanky as any other, but so unbelievably more snooty about it. |
|
|
| Noooo :( |
[May. 21st, 2009|09:31 pm] |
My computer hates me.
Or maybe the Sims hate me.
Woe :( |

Bernie on Facebook:
If you had form a team to save the world who would be in it?
My picks: Ed and Shaun, Sailor Scouts, Agent 47, Gordon Freeman and A basket of kittens.
Anybody want to write this? |

| My link to swine flu |
[May. 6th, 2009|08:16 pm] |
A classmate's grandmother lives in the same house as a nurse who got infected by one of the patients in Munich.
So close and still I don't panic. |

| Tax havens and them dark people |
[May. 6th, 2009|02:34 pm] |
So, the German minister of finance compared the fiscal tax-haven policy of Luxembourg, Austria and Switzerland with Burkina Faso.
Now, there are aspects in which that can be criticized, even more so that same minister's earlier statement that fighting against tax havens was like the cavallery fighting against the Indians (our minister of finance seems to be struck with a particular case of The Dumb).
But if some Luxembourgian (Luxembourgeois? Luxembourgese? Luxemburgherian?) calls this 'degrading speech', I have to wonder whether he's aware how incredibly racist that sounds.
Then there are allusions to nazis and oh god, I hate politicians. |

| Finally done reading Wintersmith |
[May. 2nd, 2009|03:01 pm] |
See subject line.
I think I realized why I don't like this book. At all.
1) Nac Mac Feegles. If I can't read half the dialogue in a book, I won't enjoy it much. (Seriously, at some point I started skipping five pages at a time).
2) Tiffany. I know this word is not liked much, but if she isn't a canon sue, she's pretty damn close.
3) Not enough Granny. There can never be too much Granny. |

| Go Berlin! |
[Apr. 27th, 2009|06:39 am] |
The people of Berlin voted against making religion education mandatory in their state.
Having had to attent Roman Catholic religion classes until I changed to Ethik myself, I am pleased with this. |

I think I'll shelve my plans to rewatch the Golden Girls for a few months.
Oh, Bea... |

| Random Authority |
[Apr. 24th, 2009|08:15 pm] |
I've served in the military, so I know there is a time for jokes and a time for seriousness. I'm not going to be cracking jokes to the wrong people.
That's a very random statement, even within context. |

| On Amazon, Part 2 |
[Apr. 14th, 2009|10:42 pm] |
How exactly is the order for search results on amazon determined?
I looked up what German amazons spits out for "homosexuality", and the first hit is this pile of pus, "Selftherapy of homosexuality".
Angry Bernie is angry. |

|
| On Amazon |
[Apr. 13th, 2009|11:01 pm] |
A quick note about amazonfail:
I admit that I use it regularly because I'm lazy and they get me DVDs and books and whatnot usually within a week.
Now, I couldn't cancel my latest order in time, but it is funny how my latest order included Beautiful Thing and Head On (the Australian movie about a gay Greek-Australian, not the HEADONAPPLYDIRECTLYTOTHEFOREHEAD). |

| Today's events |
[Apr. 9th, 2009|10:39 pm] |
Today, Bernie went shopping!
He took his bike and biked to the nearest subway station, went into the city, had lunch, bought camo boxershorts, and shoes and two shirts.
Then he took stuff home
Then he went to get his hair cut! He went by bike, again.
Then he returned home!
And he biked around a corner, and biked straight into a traffic sign.
Thankfully, his knee stopped everything before his nose did.
Result: A scraped knee, and a half-smashed bike.
Woe.
ETA: And the sign? Was one telling people to drive slowly and carefully. |

| How you doin'? |
[Apr. 3rd, 2009|10:21 pm] |
Oh, Sweden.
Oh, Iowa.
Don't forget about Sweden. |
|
|
| Oh fuck you |
[Mar. 31st, 2009|12:10 am] |
Seriously. Fuck you. Fuck you, government of Iraq.
Can I get out of humanity already? |

| Eating, à la française |
[Mar. 30th, 2009|06:54 pm] |
One of my French teachers is considering taking us on a class trip to Strassbourg, mainly for the purpose of eating in a proper French restaurant there.
Seeing as how there's potentially delicious food involved, I'd be all for it, but given all the red tape around class trips, I doubt it'll happen. |
