10:32 am Entertainment of the day: I decided to change my work email to the configuration where it changes colours automatically every once in a while and now I constantly have to check to see what type of colour combinations it comes up with ;-) Current Mood: giggly

11:00 am Yes, it was me who ordered the rain for today. The cold was just too hard to bear, I even prefer rain, although that means I'll probably curse at it again this afternoon when I'll have to go home for lunch and find I have to make a detour because it's simply impossible to cross the street. At least now I don't feel like my hands and feet are freezing off anymore. And tomorrow is weekend, so basically I can stay at home and don't need to venture out into the new rivers formed on the streets ;-) Current Mood: contemplative

10:19 am ... and I get freaking envious while reading about heatwaves on my friendslist. Here it's damn cold, my feet are cold, my hands are corpse-like... ugh. Give me 40ºC at 10 am in the morning NOW PLEASE! Current Mood: annoyed

10:25 am I arrived safely here in Buenos Aires last night and since we have a couple of computers at the hostel where we're staying, I thought I'd post a short message! Since they changed our flight, we arrived here rather late, at 7:30 pm. The good thing is that some of the bookstores in Corrientes are open until after midnight, so we could still do some bookstore browsing last night. I don't really know yet what we'll be doing today, maybe some shopping and strolling through the center. We'll see! Current Mood: content

06:37 pm heh, after all I put on the ESC while cleaning the flat, that way I could at least catch something of a couple of songs. I seriously don't know what it is this year with all the messy unmelodic songs, singers out of tune and more screaming than singing (Russia, Spain, Ukraine, etc. ugh). I don't know whether I find that worse or the disco crap of the years before ;-) Well at least the winning song had some violins in it, that always makes people sympathetic to me! I also miss the German commentator, he's always so snarky that it makes me laugh (don't know whether there's still the same one, last time I was able to watch the whole thing on German tv was ages ago!!!).
Over here it's raining again, I wonder why it always pours down with rain on weekends. Thankfully I already went to the supermarket yesterday, so I don't need to leave the house now!

05:39 pm Does anyone know with which programme I can cut out parts of mp3 files (like when there's a hidden song at the end of a CD and I cut out the several minutes that are silent)? I know I did that once with Realplayer, but now I cannot find that feature anymore, it might have been a trial of the premium version which of course I don't have. Current Mood: refreshed

05:54 pm - LJ messing up I really love it when LJ decides that my default icon is apparently lame and to make up for it replaces it with some fugly crap icon that's blinking in all sorts of colours I don't like. I had to eliminate that and hope that on my other computer I'll still have the original icon. Ugh. Current Mood: cynical

11:36 pm I had totally forgotten about some things here - for example that lemons are sold per piece and not per kilo. I mean, I always buy two kilos of lemons at once because I consume a lot of lemons during the week. Here I almost have to feel bad if I drink te juice of one lemon ;-) Current Mood: cheerful

You Are "alt"
|

Some people might find you to be strange, mysterious, and even a bit off putting.
You tend to be drawn to and influenced by alternative lifestyles. You're definitely not normal.
Once people get to know you, they realize you're interesting, intriguing, and very intelligent.
You have a lot of knowledge stored in that big brain of yours. Most of it is useless knowledge, but some of it is very useful.

02:43 pm Arggggghhhh. Now that I'm leaving next week, they started to show Pékin Express again on TV5. I'm still trying to figure out how to record my favourite tv shows on tv5 in my absence (only 11 hours fit on a DVD), and now that. I want to watch it all *pouts*
TV5 definately is the only channel I REALLY need.... Current Mood: determined

01:04 am After having been around three baby kittens today, this seemed to be the right type of quiz ;-)
You Are a Bengal Cat
|

You look wild, but deep down, you're really quite sweet.
You are curious about the world around you, and you love to explore.
You liked to swim and climb trees as a kid... and probably still do!
You are confident and energetic. You are ready to take on the world.

08:04 pm To change people's friendslist a bit: We don't have snow, I'm actually sitting here wearing a t-shirt and thinking about buying some fresh strawberries to accompany the Christstollen I bought yesterday (I thought Christstollen with fresh strawberries and chirimoya would be a very tasty combination ;-). And I'm actually pretty glad I didn't have to see any snow the last three years, hopefully it'll all go away again before I'm going to Germany in February!!!!
We also just had a small earthquake that shook up the house a little bit and lasted quite a while. Good that I only live on the 5th floor...
I still have tons of things to do and it's already Sunday evening, so I'll better do that now before I get too lazy!!!

What Your Cute Monster Says About You
|

You are a very natural, real person. You're comfortable with who you are - and your spirit truly shines through.
You are free of inhibitions and hang ups. Because of this freedom, you tend to be very creative.
Your inner demon is greed. You can't help but lust after wealth and shiny objects.
People think you're cute because you are so lively. Your natural glow makes you charming.

"Verbal-linguistic intelligence has to do with words, spoken or written. People with verbal-linguistic intelligence display a facility with words and languages. They are typically good at reading, writing, telling stories and memorizing words and dates. They tend to learn best by reading, taking notes, listening to lectures, and via discussion and debate. They are also frequently skilled at explaining, teaching and oration or persuasive speaking. Those with verbal-linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages very easily as they have high verbal memory and recall, and an ability to understand and manipulate syntax and structure. Careers which suit those with this intelligence include writers, lawyers, philosophers, journalists, politicians and teachers."

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test... Extroverted, Progressive, and Intelligent13 Cubist, 6 Islamic, 3 Ukiyo-e, -13 Impressionist, -1 Abstract and -10 Renaissance! 
Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It revolutionized European art and inspired changes in music and literature. The first branch of cubism, known as Analytic Cubism. It was both radical and influential as a short but highly significant art movement between 1908 and 1911 mainly in France. In its second phase, Synthetic Cubism, (using synthetic materials in the art) the movement spread and remained vital until around 1919. People that chose Cubist paintings as their favorite art form tend to be very individualized people. They are more extroverted and less afraid of speaking their opinions then other people. They tend to be progressive and are very forward thinking. As the cubist painting is like looking into a shattered mirror where you can see different angles of the images, the people that prefer these paintings like looking at all angles of a problem. These people are intelligent and they are the transformers of our generation. They look beyond what is seen into what things could become. They are ready to leave the ideas of the past behind and look at what the future has to offer. Take What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test at HelloQuizzy Current Mood: calm
