Happy Friday!
A little belated but still. It's Friday the 13th, which means it's a lucky day. And lucky I am, getting to see the opening ceremony of the Olympics tonight. I can't wait. For the next 2 weeks I'll be glued to the TV watching everything I can. How exciting!!!

Adieu Zidane
French superstar Zinedine Zidane retired from international soccer Thursday, ending his career with the national team after guiding it to the 1998 World Cup championship.

Too bad. He is a great soccer player but he will continue to play for Madrid.

Clean
I am going to get my teeth cleaned today so I have a short work day. Yay!!!
I love leavingearly...Well, I would love it not coming in at all, but it's so nice, especially towards the end of the week.
Hopefully it won't take too long at the dentist to where I can enjoy some of that extra time off.

Anchors Aweigh
Note: I started writing this post early this morning and forgot about it so I am posting it now.
On September 16th all new Chief Petty Officers get frocked.
Congratutions to all of you!
The reason why I am posting this is because right now all the new Chiefs are getting initiated and I constantly have this song stuck in my head.

Stand Navy out to sea, Fight our Battle Cry;
We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to Victory
And sink their bones to Davy Jones, Hooray!
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to foreign shores,
We sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, Drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more.
Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.
Blue of the Mighty Deep; Gold of God's Sun
Let these colors be till all of time be done, done, done,
On seven seas we learn Navy's stern call:
Faith, Courage, Service true, with Honor, Over Honor, Over All.

I used my precious lunch hour today to take advantage of DC's tax holiday. No sales tax!!! So I went shopping and found two dresses, which I will never wear since I don't wear dresses. Cool, huh?

Need
I really need to make some more time for blogging. I hardly post anything good anymore....but then again, it was never really informative etc....
Anyways, I realize just about this time every day now that I need to post something but then there's nothing to write about. I know there are things but I'm just drawing a blank. So, I need a plan. A good one.
Or it's just that I'm lazy?????

Testing Meme Propagation In Blogspace: Add Your Blog
This posting is a community experiment that tests how a meme, represented by this blog posting, spreads across blogspace, physical space and time. It will help to show how ideas travel across blogs in space and time and how blogs are connected. It may also help to show which blogs (and aggregation sites) are most influential in the propagation of memes. The dataset from this experiment will be public, and can be located via Google (or Technorati) by doing a search for the GUID for this meme (below).
Please join the test by adding your blog (see instructions, below) and inviting your friends to participate—the more the better. The data from this test will be public and open; others may use it to visualize and study the connectedness of blogspace and the propagation of memes across blogs.
The GUID for this experiment is:
as098398298250swg9e98929872525389t9987898tq98wteqtgaq62010920352598gawst
The above GUID enables anyone to easily search Google or other search engines for all blogs that participate in this experiment, once they have indexed the sites that participate, which may take several days or weeks. To locate the full data set, just search for any sites that contain this GUID.
Anyone is free to analyze the data of this experiment. Please publicize your analysis of the data, and/or any comments by adding comments onto the original post (see URL above). (Note: it would be interesting to see a geographic map or a temporal animation, as well as a social network map of the propagation of this meme.)

I just called a Cox guy that. He was transferring me (while I was talking to him) but apparently he could still hear me....OOPS! But he was an idiot anyways.
So, be careful when you curse at the Cox guys!!!!! Best time is to do it after you hang up.

Slow
Today is soooooooooooooo slow. Probably because I want to get out of here and enjoy this day. It is so beautiful outside. No humidity and it is relatively cool for this time of the year. Perfect for sitting outside. This weekend is supposed to be the same which is great since we have to go to a picnic tomorrow. I just can't wait to be done here and go home.
Happy Birthday!!!!!
To Me!!!!!
Big 25. Damn, I'm getting old.
We'll celebrate Mexican-style tonight. Margaritas!!!!!

Routine
It's funny how fast you can get used to people and adjust to them and then all of a sudden it is hard to change that once those people aren't around anymore. Makes feel kind of lonely. What a weird day.
Bless Me!
I am sneezing my brains out right now. I don't think never sneezed as much as I just did. I feel all dizzy.

There are people you meet in your life and you get along with right away. You are on the same level and you enjoy being around them. And then they leave and you're still there.
I'll keep in touch though.

Beep
My one computer here at work is making weird noices. It beeps the whole time, but I don't know if it's only in my ear or if it really beeps. You know that feeling? Anyways, now it sounds even weirder. Maybe I should turn it off......

Like a princess
Over the weekend my husband gave me a gift certificate for a Spa. I get to have my nails done and haircut and get a one-hour massage. There is more too. I scheduled my appointment for next Saturday. I can't wait!!! I never had anything done like that except for my finger nails a looooong time ago.
Isn't that the nicest gift?

Happy Anniversary!!!!
To my parents.
They are celebrating 29 years of happy marriage today!!!
And right on time my dad's car wouldn't start this morning, so he can't take my mom out to a fancy restaurant in downtown Hamburg tonight. But that's ok. There are restaurants where they live too.
Damn car though. If you ever are thinking about buying a Audi. DON'T!!!

It's the weekend...well, almost!
Short day for me, so in about 4 hours I'll be on my way home. I can't wait to finally get some sleep. All this week there was not one night where I was able to go to sleep before 11:30.
I can't wait.

Another Day
And a much better one at this. Well, let's hope so. But just knowing that tomorrow is Friday makes it a lot better. I still didn't get to bed as early as I had hoped for but I feel rested.
BUT I am still freezing my ass off in here.

Sorry
I am kind of tired today and have no energy whatsoever. I really need to get to bed earlier. Three nights in a row it's been almost midnight and I have to get up at 5:30 every morning. But it's my fault so I am not really complaining. I am using it as an excuse for not posting.

Cold
I am freezing my ass off today. It is so cold in here. The stupid thing is, that now it doesn't even work to go outside for a few minutes since it is not really that warm outside either.......
Makes sense to me
Women wishing to enter Canada to work as strippers must provide naked photos of themselves to qualify for a visa.
Why not? Plus, I am sure it sort of make their day a little bit more interesting.

Today's commute
Brought to you by the words:
"Smelly" and "Stopping".
First, smelly people. Not smelly as in "I have no air conditioning and weight 300 pounds"-smelly, but "I have no sense of smell and don't know that a whole bottle of aftershave/perfume is a little too much"-smelly.
Second, "stopping" as in, I like to race up the escalator and then suddenly stop half way up so everybody behind me gets bump into each other.
Gotta love it.
Happy Friday!

Sorry that I haven't posted anything yet today, but there is nothing really going on here other than the fact that tomorrow is Friday!!! I am so glad.
This weekend should be very exciting since our long-lost friends are moving back to the area and are going to stay with us for a while. Good that we bought the house. We have been moving stuff (lots of stuff) out of the guest room/office, now know as the guest room only. The only thing left tonight is to get our computer out of there and move a dresser into the closet to put another mattress in there. Busy, busy.

Dinner
Job
I wish I had an American citizenship. I could make twice as much. But I don't, so I am here. But I'll get there....hopefully. I just want to work somewhere where I can use my language skills a little more.
Monday morning on a Tuesday
Well mainly this is another metro post. People are so stupid and inconsiderate. My shoulder hurts from running into so many dumbasses. I think I'll have a bruise by tonight. What's up with thsoe idiots standing in front of open metro doors but not getting in, making it hard for everybody else to pass them and get on the train? Especially when you're running towards it because the doors are about to close....that's when I got my main shoulder injury this morning. Or those people that realize right when the doors close that they have to get off and run out standing in front of the doors and look around because this seems to be the best spot to figure out where to go?
Then on to the farecard vending amchines or whatever they are called. I had to fill up my smartrip card this morning because yesterday about 1000 tourists crowded around every single machine trying to figure out hwo to follow the directions on the machines. Since I really wanted to arrive at home before midnight I though I just take care of it this morning. No problem, right? There are two machines for the smartrip cards I get in line and this metro-dude is helping two girls in front of me and they walk off. My turn right? NO. This bitch walks up front of me and says something to the metro-dude and then when she is done complaining she proceeeds to the vending maching right when the two girls are done-IN FRONT OF ME!!! I hate people. I really do.

Again.
What a nice weekend it was though. Met with a friends and had a lot of fun while still getting stuff done. This week we have to get the guest room ready which means getting all the office stuff out of there, but that shouldn't be too bad. Other than that not much is going on so far. We'll see what the day brings......

Does anybody know if and when the UK is planning on joining the Euro, I mean using that currency? I knwo they voted against it but is there a plan on having another vote and if that was yes, what would the time line be?
It's about investments and all I need to know is if it could happen in the next three yeats or not. I suspect not, but I would like to hear it from somebody else.
Thanks.

I feel really stupid, but I didn't knwo that Juergen Klinsmann was a technical advisor to the LA Galaxy (I want to say Frankfurt Galaxy). I might actually start watching MLS since I have a team I can connect with now. I don't know.
Hmm.....
Blondes really are more stupid after hearing 'dumb blonde' jokes, according to research by psychologists in Germany.
Ok, so if somebody keeps making jokes about you, you start being stupid.
I don't know if I believe that. I am blonde and I like blonde jokes but I don't think it influenced my intelligence....well, maybe it did....duh...

Bills
It's payday and that means it's pay-the-bills day too!!!
Ever since we moved and we now have a mortgage I pay all the bills on the 15th of the month and the mortgage on the 1st. So, on the 15th I have about 11 bills to pay which takes a long time. I don't know why but I like writing checks and so I don't usually pay online or set up any automatic withdrawals, but maybe I should since it is getting a little too much.
Maybe I'll do that today?
Other than that everything is going great. It is such a beautiful day outside today, but I hope it will still be nice out when it's time for me to go home, but that's a long time away.

That's because a portion of the ceiling came crashing down about 4 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, sending tiles and wires cascading to the floor.

OK
Alright kiddos. I am out of here. Let's home I don't get hit by a tornado. I heard that the power is out at Springfield Metro but the VRE is still running.
Ciao.

The lucky ball
This is an auction on the Spanish eBay site. They are selling the ball that Beckham was unable to score with during the penalty kick at this year's European Championship. I wonder who will be the one to pay that kind of money for a ball and what they are going to do with it. I guess it depends if they like Beckham or not.
UPDATE: The current highest bidder is German. BTW, Euro 10,000,000 is more than $10 million.
The Official Match Ball used on the game against Portugal, that left UK out of the Europe Cup, the same ball of the penalty, that David Beckham miss, will be auctioned on eBay. Pablo Carral, a fan, catched the ball and he took it out from the stadium.
Is the Official Europe Cup Match Ball, made in Thailand. It has the date of the game, the 24th of June 2004, also the place of the celebration, da Luz of Lisbon stadium.
UPDATE: The current highest bidder is German. BTW, Euro 10,000,000 is more than $10 million.
Garlic
I smell garlic...and it smells good. Well, almost time to have lunch....Pizza again, but I could eat that every day.
Zeus was a whore
I have been reading a book I read in 8th grade or so about Greek mythology and all the gods etc. So, I when online to see what resources are available and found this website, the Encyclopedia Mythica. While I was reading the book I started to think that Zeus got around a lot, so I looked that up and found a little table with some of his offspring. Pretty busy.
Half Way
It's Wednesday!!! That means we are half way through the work week. Just two more times getting up early. I so can't wait for the weekend.
Not much going on besides some people coming over Saturday evening. I should finally be able to get my hair cut.
My mom is back in the hospital but this time it was planned. She is finally getting her tonsils taken out. Well, that was yesterday but she'll stay there for a little bit longer.
In other news....I'll be a real aunt!!!!!!! My lovely brother and his wonderful girlfriend (whom I haven't met yet) are expecting to be parents around March of next year. They're a little scared since they lost a little one at the end of last year. But everything should be fine. I can't wait! This will be the first grandchild for my parents...other than the step-ones I surprised them with.

Slow Day
And a weird one. I had this little headache lingering around for most of the day. I am tired all of a sudden and stuffed. But luckily I get to go home soon and maybe get some sleep.....or not.
Ciao.

There we go
Well, it seems the woman lied after all. Sad.
Just days after claiming to be the victim of an attack that stunned France, a young mother confessed to making up the story, authorities said Tuesday.
Interesting
I read the story about the 23-year woman being attacked on a French train yesterday. It is almost common to hear about some sort of racially motivated attack in France.
Now, they said that she might made the whole thing up.

Now, they said that she might made the whole thing up.
Police patrolled suburban trains on Monday and studied video from surveillance cameras, trying to track down six men who allegedly attacked a young mother and scrawled swastikas on her stomach.
But doubts began to surface about the truth of the attack report that stunned France.

Day After Tomorrow
Extreme temperatures, which have killed at least 22 people in Romania in the space of a week, continued to plague Europe, with Greece sweltering in a heatwave and an open-air performance of Verdi's "Traviata" canceled in Italy.
I didn't believe it when my mom told me that they reported snow in the Bavarian Apls.
They have had a horrible summer so far in Hamburg, Germany. It's just raining...and raining....and raining some more. But that's how I remember it being when I was living there. Of course, last year we had the shit summer here and they had the hot one.
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Just a little Happy Birthday wish for my lovely husband!!!!
Have a great day and I can't wait to see you tonight!!!!
I love you and I couldn't be happier with you.

Back to Work!!!
Well, it's Monday...AGAIN.
Oh well, I had a great weekend. Went to a retirement party on Friday and had to deal with the results of it most of the day Saturday but was ready for another get-together Saturday evening. You can tell it's summer with all those parties going on but it's fun to see all those people and meet new ones.

Ciao.

Nothing
I have absolutely nothing to post about.
Just writing that everything is great seems to be boring and nothing really pissed me off. Isn't that sad that something bad has to happen for me to have something to tell?

Hot Wheels!!!
At least 27 Honda CR-V sport/utility vehicles from the 2003 and 2004 model years burst into flames shortly after getting their first oil changes, according to newspaper reports Friday.
Kind of funny but I'm sure that the owners didn't think so.
That's what you get for buying a shit car.

One More
One more day and this week will be over! I can't wait. But first I'll have to end this day and it will end early...believe me.
Ciao.

Not Fair
Instead of enjoying summer vacation, some Fairfax County students spent Thursday back in school, through no fault of their own.
They're among the nearly 300 unlucky students whose Standards of Learning tests were damaged while being transported by UPS.
That sucks. Do they get reimbursed if they had to cancel tickets? Probably not. My stepson almost went to Edison, but we sent him to the VA School for the Deaf and Blind then.
Touchy Feely
Just read it on the Drudge Report.
Seems that the two Johns are touching each other way too much.....

Tired, Cranky, Headache
This pretty much describes my morning so far.
Woke up with a headache and way too tired. Had to wait at the train and at the metro and everything was way too packed with stupid tourists and other idiots alike.
I am already looking forward to going home and back in bed.

Again
It seems that the last few miutes at work are always stressy....I almost forgot to post. But not today!!!
Ciao.

Food
I am hungry....which is weird because I ate so much for breakfast....somebody brought in some lemon and banana-nut bread. But now I'll have to go find more food. You would think I weight 300 pounds as much as I eat but I guess my metabolism is awesome because everybody think I'm anorexic.
The New York Times > International > Europe > Thomas Klestil, 71, Austrian Who Redeemed the Presidency, Dies
President Thomas Klestil, who brought calm to an office frayed by controversy surrounding his predecessor's past in World War II, died Tuesday. He was 71.
Good Morning
What a beautiful day it is. I hate it when it is fairly nice outside in the morning because it'll be just hot and humid once I get to enjoy the rest of the day outside this afternoon. Oh well, I am rested and ready to go!

Countdown
Almost time to go. I am tired and I want to go home. I hate it when I can't go to sleep on time. Every morning I am soooo tired and then, once I get home I am all awake.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better and I actually have some energy to write something a little more interesting.
Ciao.

No More Homer
I can't read that. I don't even get the names so I grabbed an older book with several Greek stories in it. I read it in 6th grade or so. It's very easy to read and then at least I am up-to-date with all the gods. Maybe when I have a lot of free time I'll sit down and read it but I am way too tired to even get a paragraph.
I need more books.

First things first
Before I get carried away with work I figured I better post. Yesterday turned somewhat busy but it consisted more of watching the clock to get out of here. Today we'll get our foosball table!!!!!
