Hmm ...

Congrads! Your a True Yugo! "Tanks god",
there should be more of us in this world! Now
pat yourself on the back and take a shot of
rakija.

Are You A True Yugo?
brought to you by Quizilla

Yes, I also pray to the Tanks God, saviour of the T-34 in the battle at the Kursk bend.

My desktop

This is what my desktop looks like right now ... I composed the wallpaper myself, from various pictures I've stolen from the internet over the years. (I just couldn't resist their cuddliness - I HAD to steal them ...)

Dreamscapes & Fearscapes

This morning, I had a completely unexpected, utterly bizarre and very annoying dream: N. wrote to me and told me that he *loved* me, and sent me a big bunch of pictures of himself where he wasn't wearing any clothes!! Scary! (And hairy, too ...)

But I've actually gotten a sun lately, that is so close to me that it pretty much outshines all the other stars in my sky. (At least in the daytime ...!) So there isn't really any point in my subconscious trying to bring up any of the other stars right now.

Right-wing blogging

Now and then, I've checked out other people's blogs here at Blogdrive. I've particularly been looking for bloggers with an interest in international politics. But all I can find are US right-wing Bush-hugging propaganda-embracing male chauvinists. (And some female chauvinists, too.)

Is it just that Blogdrive attracts people from the right ...? Has anyone explored yet what kind of people use which Blog service?

TschöRmen

The German language has a lot more sex appeal than most people seem to be comfortable with.

Why does the Tiamat piece Spine contain the words "For lots of English speakers, there is no scarier sound than the German language"?

It's a complex phenomenon, this 'German-hating', and since I'm writing this while online, I can't analyse it too deeply. Certainly, there are all the traumas from WWII (though it would seem strange to blame today's Germans for what some of their grandparents did). Another factor are the terrible German tourists who invade various parts of the world every summer.

But one factor, that is seldom noticed, is something similar to the 'white man's' hate for the 'olive man', because the 'white woman' is much more interested in dark, chocolate eyed men than them. (This becomes very obvious every time I mention that I like dark, hairy men, when speaking with a pale, hairless man.) That's one of the reasons why many Russians despise Caucasians - Russian women, who have spent their holidays at the Black Sea, *know* that Caucasians are much more virile than most Russian men (right, Natig?).

Also, like everyone who has seen A Fish Called Wanda knows, languages can have a very strong effect on the opposite sex.
My personal favourites are Russian, Arabic and Hebrew. Turkish is an incredibly cute language, too, and I just want to squeeze anyone to death who says "Ölümlü".
And, as I've noticed recently, the German language has its place in the top list, as well.

Oh well, or maybe I'm just a pervert who gets immeasurably excited by guttural sounds.
(Russian should be an exception to the rule, in that case. And yes, Russian ... ahh, Russian. It is a whole chapter for itself. No, a whole series of novels. No, a whole life's work.)

Window-painting

Some guys are coming to paint my window frames tomorrow morning. I didn't ask them to do it, but it's just my landlord who thinks this should be done. This means that I will have to remove all furniture, plants, computers, curtains, etc. from any proximity to the windows tonight.

When I complained about this hassle to my mother, she said, "Oh, but then you can wash the windows, too! Isn't that great?"
"Uhh ... NO."
"But you must at least clean the window frames, so they can paint them."
"Wha ... But can't they do that, themselves?!"
"But Tinet! You must be NICE to the poor men!"
"No ...!?"
"Tineeeeet ...!"
"I'll sweep the floor, okay!!"

(That'll be the first time ever that I sweep the floor by the windows, behind my desk ... It will surely be a fascinating experience.)

Tool

I was just listening to Tool's Lateralus. When I took off my headphones, I realised that my neighbour above me is listening to the same record.

Fourty six & two: Slicha, mah hasha'ah?

Naah, I'm not going insane. I just got my period.

I don't want to learn to say what time it is in Hebrew. Then I can't just ignore stupid Israeli men who want to approach me by asking what time it is!
