Unicum Wundertüte

I got an „Unicum Wundertüte“ with more or less useful things. First they gave me the one for boys. I asked them if I could switch it. They reacted very grumpy! “We just hand them out and don’t have the time to pay attention if they are for boy or girls”. Very nice, thanks a lot!

1. “UniQueen” a really great journal for female university students. With fashion tips, a “what-type-are-you-test” and great articles.
2. An instant latte macchiato. I already tried a different kind, which was not as good as the yummy cappuccino I always drink.
3. A fragrance sample, which smells actually pretty good.
4. Some weird herb mix for vegetable gratin.
5. Really useless paper for self-made cigarettes.
6. A pink puma sticker. Really cool and girly!
7. A travel deodorant for girls. Which I am not going to use because it is one of those, which makes these ugly stains in your t-shirts.
8. Some more or less useful coupons for all different kind of things.
9. A couple of very ugly postcards form the tourist information of Berlin.
10. A bottle of cola and beer. That’s something a student definitely needs.

The freaky woman

I was standing in the tram on my way to work, thinking about how stupid this one advertisement was and why they placed it on the window instead of the usual advertising space as suddenly a woman jumped up from her seat next to me turning to me and started to yell that I should stop doing it. A little bit bemused I told her that I had no clue what “it” was. Somehow she blamed me to ruin her hairdo, which in my point of view was no hairdo at all; besides, I was just standing there doing nothing. I told her to change either her seat or hairstyle. I think she was pretty upset about my answer. Off cause there was no way she could change to a different seat because it was morning rush hour and the tram was really crowded, but lucky for her the man who sat vis-à-vis to her was leaving the tram. So, she actually switched to his seat. I saw no reason why I shouldn't sit down on her seat. She angrily starred at me the whole time. I thought about that this would be a great story for my blog and started to smile. I think by this time she really hated me and she hated me even more because she seemed to know that I didn't care at all. Maybe she just needs one of these white jackets with these really long sleeves.

The drunken PC

Today my PC turned itself upside down. I must have hit some weird key. Of course I couldn’t remember which one it was. Everything was upside down, even the courser. When I moved the mouse to the left side it went to the right. Great! I didn’t know what to do so I asked a workmate for help. He hasn’t seen something like this before either, but he could fix it in no time.

The pumpkin and the orange bucket

I had to say goodbye to my pumpkin. :-( Now, he’s in the front yard in that orange bucket for the vegetable and fruit garbage and I have to wait for one year to carve a new one.

No cookie-monster-gloves

Last week it was so warm that you had to wear a t-shirt. Now, one week later it is so cold that there is no way to leave the house without a winter jacket. This morning the streets were frozen. I even hadn’t had time to wash my cookie-monster-gloves.

The long night of books

My bookstore invited me to a special event with readings and cocktails. An English language center read from Jane Austen’s “sense and sensibility” but since they didn’t use any microphone and the reader itself hasn’t had a loud voice it was a little bit hard to hear something. I went to the reading of a young hannoveranian author who presented her new novel. There were many readings within the whole bookstore. It was the first time that I got invited to the long night of books.
