let it snow again

so not even a week after i talk about not getting the lame snow/rain/slush, what do i find falling from the sky? i guess things really do come around.

but then i was walking out of stammtisch last night when matthias told me that the next week or weekend is supposed to be really cold again, as in 0 degrees Fahrenheit. the only good thing about the cold is it turns the rain to snow. and as i woke up this morning to find the rooftops just a little bit whiter, i think the cold has come.

all this said, i really look forward to warmer weather. . .

let it snow

hey, i thought that was a christmas song.

well, it didn't start snowing here until the new year began, and it hasn't stopped yet. (that's not true. it stopped here or there, but i think you can gather what i mean).

the snow we've had a couple times this past week or so has been a bunch of big'uns, all clumped together as it comes down. we haven't had any of the strange snow weather, so that's made me happy, but i'd trade it for some warmth i guess. it was a bit milder for a week or so, but that only served to trick me into believing that spring is soon to come.

still i've kept my (cold) spirits up. these big snowflakes are great for catching on your tongue, but the looks you get. . .

ok, granted, one time i was really going for it, not just tongue out, but mouth open, legs moving, eyes scanning really working for my little quenchy flakes. that guy looked at me like i was mad, maybe duly so.

then there were the girls who may have seen me down the way because they were definitely talking about catching snowflakes as we crossed paths.

as beautiful as it looks, as good as it tastes, i look forward to putting on some shorts again.

, but for now it snows.

(what do you think about the rouge comma? i like him.)

99 luft ballons

um, that's neunundneunzig, not ninty-nine. . . just to be clear.

sometimes i really enjoy things that i don't think are that good. for a while a couple weeks ago i was into kathy traccoli. right now i'm slightly into nena. i'm also using ie8, microsofts answer to the question i never asked.

somethings, however i like because they are good. like layer tennis, which just started up again.

well, i should really be less waiting for layer tennis to be done and more getting to bed. . .

later.

(049)0176/. . .

for a good time, call.

so i'm not going to give the full number out (especially since most of you trusty readers will never be calling it anyways), but if you want to give me a call, it is no more than ever possible. just as i was hopping into the shower this morning, my new phone arrived. all cleaned up and ready for the day, i opened my little brown box to find this trusty little gem. i'll probably just skip the creativity and call him Moto.

the simplest phone on the market. no camera, no games, 6 menu functions, 7 ring tones, a bit annoying to text (or fun depending on how you look at it). it's exactly what i wanted, and i am happy.

so. . .that's about it. . .

i know it's not really good to end like that, but not much is going on right now.

i stopped going to the normal german course i was taking to focus on the prep-class for the test next thursday (not tomorrow; the 12th). that leaves me with a lot more time, but i haven't used these first few days well. it's been mostly stayin up way later and getting noticeably less done during the day, but that should change starting . . . now.

later.
