The Friday Five
1. Are you going to school this year?
No, not really. I am taking some online preparation courses for some certificates.
I just graduated in January.
2. If yes, where are you going (high school, college, etc.)? If no, when did you graduate?
I went to George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
3. What are/were your favorite school subjects?
In High School I always loved Math, Chemistry, and PE.
4. What are/were your least favorite school subjects?
I hated French, but mainly because of this stupid teacher I had.
5. Have you ever had a favorite teacher? Why was he/she a favorite?
I have a couple of teachers and professors that I really like. My High School class still meets with my last HS teacher every year. Unfortunately I don't live in Germany anymore but in the US so I am never able to attend.
I just like when a teacher loves teaching and doesn't see it as a job to make money. You can tell when someone likes to teach.

Lights out in London
Just came across this on Sky News. The US doesn't seem to be the only nation that has a power problem. But, of course, we don't know yet what exactly happened.
A Tube spokesman said: "There has been a National Grid failure which has affected the underground.
The failure is thought to have happened at around 6.15pm.
A spokesman for electricity network operator EDF Energy said: "We have lost supplies to large parts of south London in the last few minutes as a result of a National Grid failure supply in the south London area.
UPDATE: Seems like the power is back on in London.

New Feature
I was really bored today, so I added a few more things to this blog to make it...more interesting, I guess.
I added The Weather Pixie, which I always thought, was kind of cool. I also out on the left bar, way below my links and everything else, a link to the book I am currently reading.
Right now it is 1984 by George Orwell.
I start a new book about every two weeks. I have never read this many books in my life, but ever since I started working I am in the Metro about 2 hours each day and I read....
So, if anyone wants to comment/discuss the books that I have read/am currently reading, or even suggest a book, please feel free to do so.
I will soon try to post a list of books I have read since the beginnig of the year.

Shall I stay or shall I go???
Ok, wir sind gerade so am ueberlegen, ob es nicht besser waer ein Haeusele zu kaufen anstatt das Geld zum Fenster rauszuschmeissen. Und so kamen wir zu dem Entschluss, dass das gar nicht mal so schlecht waer.
Nur das Problem ist, dass die Haeuser hier total teuer sind. Also nicht teuer, weil wir kein Geld haben sondern teuer weil alle hier wohnen wollen. Da ich keine halbe Million fuer ein Reihenhaus habe und auch gar nicht ausgeben moechte, werden wir wohl weit(er) weg ziehen muessen.
Das wuerde dann heissen, dass ich den Nahverkehrszug nehmen darf, was mich ca. 200 Dollar im Monat kosten wird. Aber immerhim werden wir unserem eigenem Heim wohnen bzw. uebernachten.
Toll, immer diese Entscheidungen.

Hamburg kann man ja nur lieben
Ist doch klar, dass alle nach Hamburg wollen. Wo soll man denn sonst hin...nach Muenchen?????
Berlin kann man ja noch verstehen, aber das liegt vielleicht daran, dass ich ganz tief drinnen ne Berliner Pflanze bin und die Preussen moegen die Bazis ja eh nicht.

"No smiling!" - Kanadier dürfen auf Passfotos nicht mehr lachen
Na und?
Ich persoenlich finde es gar nicht mal so ne schlechte Idee. Ich kenn zwar keine Kanadier (glaub ich), aber wenn die genauso bloed lachen, wie viele Amerikaner, find ich es eigentlich ganz gut. Ich weiss gar nicht wer denen erzaehlt hat, dass man so viel moeglich von seinem Gebiss bei jedem Foto zeigen soll....

Back to Work!!!
Too bad that the weekend is over.
This weekend was so much fun. On Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market in Old Towne Alexandria, VA. Anybody that lives in the DC Metro Area needs to go there. It's early (6AM to 9AM),but it's worth it. They have really nice flowers, pastries and all kinds of other stuff. It's around the fountain in front of the courthouse (?).
We then went to Annapolis, MD. That is such a great city. We had the best lunch ever and enjoyed the best weather possible. I never had a whole crab before. I am not really the biggest seafood fan, but I just loved it. I don't know why we never went before. It is so close.
Well, next Saturday we'll go to King's Dominion!!!! Right now, they say it's supposed to rain, but I am still hoping.

FIA decision on Ralf Schumacher
Well, in my opinion it could have been better, but at least Ralf gets to start whatever position he will qualify at on Saturday.

Ralf Schumacher Challenges FIA Penalty in Paris
In other news.....
This weekend will finally be another Formula One race in Hungary. I am anxious to see if Ralf's appeal will work. In my own opinion it wasn't his fault at all. Well we'll see Wednesday afternoon, when the FIA will announce its decision.
For more information about Formula One, I find this site really good...Especially the live ticker.

Hamburg Mayor von Beust Fires Coalition Partner Ronald Schill
Here is what I could find in English on Bloomberg.com about the current events in Hamburg, Germany.
MSNBC also has a story about it.

Von Beust entlässt Innensenator Schill
Mensch, da ist ja richtig was los in Hamburg.
Habe gerade mein Radio Hamburg uebers Internet eingeschaltet und hoere die Nachrichten und hab auch schon bei Nico den Stand der Dinge erfahren.
Wurde ja meiner Meinung nach langsam mal Zeit.
UPDATE: Hier nochmal ein bisschen mehr zu der ganzen Sache aus dem Spiegel.
Jetzt wird davon geredet Schill rechtilich wegen Erpressung zu verfolgen. Ich bin ja gespannt, was in naechster Zeit noch so alles kommt.....
UPDATE II: Die MoPo hat eine relativ gute Chronologie zusammengefasst, die sich mit der ganzen Affaire um Wellinghausen etc. befasst.

I am back!!!!!
Well...I have been back for a couple of days, but I didn't really feel like posting anything...
But I had a lot of fun last week in good-old-Germany. One week is way too short. So, I am planning my trip for Christmas, which should keep me busy for a while.
I just can't wait until I finally move back. Its funny, because I tell people, and they don't understand. I hear "Well, don't you like it here?" Yes, I love it, but I am sooooooooooo far away from everybody over there that I could live in paradise and I still would want to go back. So, I will just do that...in about 2 years or so.
Anyway, just wanted to post real quick before this week is over.
