Schade

Hamburgs älteste McDonald's-Filiale geschlossen

Wirklich, denn ich kann mich noch erinnern, wie ich manchmal nach der Schule aus dem Bus (damals war das der 182er) stieg und mir etwas von McDonalds gegonnen habe. Oder als ich eine Eltern angebettelt habe mir doch mal schnell einen 10er zu geben, damit ich dort Mittag holen konnte.

Komisch schon, was sich so alles aendert bzw. geaendert hat....und das in nur 5 Jahren.

That's it

I have nothing more to say or post.

I will start my countdown here and hope time passes really quick because I want to go home, or outside and enjoy the rest of this beautiful weather here.
Maybe I'll go out to eat tonight........

Where I have been

I always liked those maps that highlight where you have been in the world or the United Sates.
So, as I was just looking around on Rocket Jones' blog, I saw that he has those too, and so here are mine:

Guess, which Interstate I travel a lot?????



create your own personalized map of the USA
or write about it on the open travel guide


Well, I always thought I went to many countries, but it doesn't look like a lot. I am still young and have time to travel so that'll fill up.



create your own visited country map
or write about it on the open travel guide

What's wrong with people????

OK, somebody needs to explain this to me.
What has a Mickey Mouse statue, dressed in an outfit Janet Jackson wore over a decade ago, to do with he Super Bowl performance?
Disney took down this 6 foot statue in Orlando according to Gary Foster, a Disney spokesman, told the Orlando Sentinel, stating that "considering all the controversy it drew, we talked it over for a couple of days and decided it would be best to replace hers with a new one."
It also states in that article "The Jackson statue used a tight black outfit". My god, Mickey Mouse really looks offensive.
Judge for yourselves:



Maybe it is because Mickey, supposedly a male, is wearing something a woman wore????

Get over yourselves!

A great Howard Stern discussion

Jeff Jarvis has a very interesting discussion going on about the whole issue with the FCC, Clear Channel, and Howard Stern. I have been reading most of it and find it very interesting.
Take a look and voice your opinion.

I'm back

After an involuntary long weekend I am finally back at work. Although today would be a nice day to stay at home and enjoy the wonderful weather. They say it'll be about 72 degrees today!!!!
Oh well, I lost that day yesterday trying to break the world record in "Who can hug the toilet the longest????" I'm sure I won.

Friday Five

Well, there is no Friday Five today. But since I haven't done it in so long I am just going to do last week's.

When was the last time you...

1. ...went to the doctor?
Last May. I go once a year. I rarely get sick, so I don't got to see a doctor that often.

2. ...went to the dentist?
That was just two weeks ago. Every six months!

3. ...filled your gas tank?
Two days ago. I hardly need to do that because I drive so little every day. I need to fill up the tank every two weeks or so and I have samll car. In three year I didn't even put 20,000 miles on my car yet.

4. ...got enough sleep?
Last weekend....actually last night I got enough sleep. I was tired and went to bed early.

5. ...backed up your computer?
???

Alles wird zensiert

Ich war ueberrascht diesen Artikel ueber Howard Sterns Suspension auf 6 amerikanischen Radio Stationen auf Deutsch zu sehen.
Es ist die Weiterfuehrung der Zensur der oeffentlichen Medien, die mit Janet Jackson bei der Super Bowl Halbzeit Show begonnen hat.
Ich bin gespannt, was als naechstes passiert.
Ich sehe es schon vorraus, dass wir bald nur noch Cartoons sehen duerfen...aber bitte OHNE Gewalt!!!!

Schwachsinn.

More overreacting

After the "outrageous" Super Bowl Halftime show, it is now the radio broadcasters' turn to suffer for their "indecencies".
Shock Jock Howard Stern was pulled off the air by Clear Channel Communications on its six stations.
This comes after a caller used the N-word. Note, that it was a caller not Howard Stern.

What the hell is wrong with people?
Now that the FCC started its crusade everybody scrambles to "fix" everything.
Don and Mike can't mention any body parts or use bathroom humor anymore. Budweiser's commercial will not be shown during the Oscar's.

How about people that get offended by breasts or sexual content or bathroom humor just turn off the TV or Radio, or switch the station and watch the Disney Channel? Get over it!

This is the dumbest thing ever and it pisses me off that a bunch of stuck-up idiots can control what I laugh about, watch or listen to.

Oh, and in case you would like to let Clear Channel Communications know what you think, their contacts are listed here.

What I am reading

Ok the last thing to do is to update the "Blogeline is currently reading" section.
Maybe I should read this one...I mean, look at it.

Four more weeks...

... and we are moving!!!!
Our house is finally done. I can't wait to get out of where we are at now. It's getting worse every minute. Why do people not care?
Whatever, soon enough I will enjoy MY new home and bitch about the mortgage payment....
Life is wonderful.

Chocolate Muffin

My second one today. No wonder I couldn't eat my lunch, but who wants rice and chicken if you have such sweats??? Anyways, I really needed something to give me a little energy. I feel like I am just sitting here, waiting for time to pass....
HELP!!!

Well....

...more than three months have past and I still don't feel like posting....
I don't know, maybe I was in a creative black hole (and still am), but I was never really creative to begin with.
Anyways, Spring is almost here and I feel the energy returning!!!!
Hopefully it'll stay with me....

Friday Five

1. What food do you like that most people hate?
Well, I am a ketchup freak, so I put it on my Mac&cheese and need it with my steak. But people don't really hate it.
In Germany you can get rolls with meat or cheese on it at every bakery and my favorite is the one with the ground meat...RAW! It's only beef but I could eat that all day long. Unfortunately in the US you can't eat it like that, although, I take a little bite when I make burgers.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?
That list is long.
I hate olive, mustard, celery, sauerkraut, dill and I think there is a lot more.

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?
Well it should be a male or else some might say I am only jealous.
That is tough. David Blaine. He is just plain creepy.

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find
attractive?

Well, I really think that Sean Connery is very attractive or Roger Moore. They just seem so elegant. It's not that I have a thing for old guys either (although my husband is older....). Maybe it's the 007 thing?

5. What popular trend baffles you?
I don't get the whole 80's thing. That stuff is so ugly and that people actually want to go back to those clothes is really hard to understand.

Go Schumi!!!!

Well, it seems that Schumacher will race a plane.
Michael Schumacher is set to try and beat a fighter jet plane in his Ferrari.

The race, which will take place on December 11, has been arranged by Italian defence minister Antonio Martino.

It will see the Formula 1 champion competing against a Eurofighter plane at the Grossetto air base in Tuscany.

Good Luck!

Ever heard about soap?

Ok, I understand this boy lives in a small village in Romania, but that doesn't mean that he can't clean himself at all.

I am a Female!

Well, it seems that many people are trying to figure out, who they really are. So, I figured I try it too. And, of course, I was right all along.
I am a female. I am sure my husband will be glad to hear that.
Others really experienced an eye-opener.
