Sticky Apple Kisses

The German has moved! After some undecipherable grunting (is that happiness he has overcome the program, or disgust at how long it took, or what? either way, Im afraid to flat out ask as asking questions can just lead to confusion on my part and a new idea on his part, that will just drive him back towards the laptop. Since I do not have a good sam extended service plan on the trip, I need to take advantage of this pause and run! Berlin at night beckons, and even if it is cold it should be enjoyable. I leave you with Baby Its Cold Outside!

Happy holidays and all that fun stuff! Mostly greetings from the very cold capital of Germany, where we have decided to spend a week of relaxing and fun, that is as soon as the German can disentangle himself from coding project management software, which by the way, he started doing for fun, and is now engaged in as an exercise in masochism. But that is ok, we have a week here, and I was only too happy to spend the day reading for pure pleasure and without worries or thoughts to anything else.

I will blame the stupid switch in the exam on my new obsession with The Lonely Island, seriously, I can not get Im On A Boat out of my head, I would post it in here but I dont want to be slammed for posting a video based mostly on curse words. Seriously, am I sliding back here? This is the kind of stuff my ADHD brother loves (Im a wealth of ADHD information after growing up with that one) and yet something I wouldve punched him in the head for just 5 years ago I now think is hilarious. Proof that MScs in fact rot your brain. Stick with the Arts kids, at least you stay pretentious.

Winter vacation begins today!!! My last exam is over, the one I feared the most (the one I got a look for when unexpectedly the lab assistant came up behind me to see how my progress was going and noted the title I had saved the model under was “Evil Full Of Hatred and Pain” - not so amusing to him apparently) is done done done, and though I know I never got an A, I feel good about it, even with one of the very stupid mistakes I realized I made AFTER walking out. So wooo hoo, and I have changed my Facebook profile from the teddy bear that looks like he could not take any more of the cruel world (or modeling) and am now the cute cow, although I wont be looking to put the listing in any directory submissions, as when the prof realizes how I messed up the static system with the steady state (the one thing i did actually study, and KNEW how to do, but then confused it through stupidity) and will just think Im an idiot.

How can you tell if you have gone crazy or you just need a break?  Is it time to get together my shipping boxes and get out of Germany before I really go around the bend? I have an exam on the 22nd that contains a whole lot of math, a whole lot of converting the math into a model on the computer that somehow simulates the real world, and even worse I cant tell if I hate it all the time or just some of the time, because when it works I get a big geeky thrill. Even worse, this is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time, I blame math….

Never go with the assumption you will never need math again.  It will haunt you for the rest of your days…

Zee German had his birthday last week and I get to make German jokes all I want because I rock. Not only did I get the computer programming (sorry software developer! Apparently there is a difference, but to me its all bunch of typing that creates a hurricane of rage in me, one mistake and the whole thing is RUINED, ruined I say, not for me thanks! Ill stick to checking out slimming pills, that is how much programming is not for me, but again I digress!), ok so not only did I get him the T shirt based on the following comic:

But also I had the following picture made into a canvas, which is one of my favorite pics from his first world trip.

And yet, just in case there is someone out there who is even more out of touch with life than me, I have to share Cool Guys Dont Look At Explosions. Between university, working, trying to make it Taekwondo enough that Im not greeted with 50 push ups as a hello (really, does that make me want to come back next time, Im not so sure) and even moving into our own place and picking out porcelain tiles for the bathroom, I miss these kind of things that the rest of the world has already moved on from.
