  1. 23 and counting….

    Last week has been very exciting, I worked every single day since last Monday so it was also a very tiring week.Somewhere in the mist of all the work I managed to “celebrate” my 23rd birthday. Well the celebration was the weekend before my birthday when we went to a casino to win some money, well only 20 euros but it was a fun night out. 23 years old is what I am now, somehow birthday never had a special meaning to me, but looking back to when I was 13 someone being in their mid 20s was old but now looking to someone who is 30 or 40 something doesn’t, guess age becomes relative with time. As silly as it sounds but the saying “Age is just a number” somehow rings true, or I could be just getting old!

    Anyway I was working on my birthday from 3pm-10pm so really didn’t have time to celebrate as such. But still had a lovely day, got a surprise bday gift from my coworkers a gift certificate and some flowers. Only got 5 text msg from people wishing me happy birthday, instead got 100 msgs via twitter and facebook and email, really shows how many more people are on various social networking websites, judging by previous birthdays when I received mostly text messages.

    All the birthday wishes were very sweet and lovely but I must say one stood out the most, it was of course the tweet I recived from Nathan Fillion (Mal from Firefly).

    I am a huge Sci-fi geek and also love the new Castle show with Nathan as Mr.Castle, so that really made my birthday a bit special, as silly as it may/will sound! Its the little things in life I guess that make up for the bad terrible things.

    So 23 started good lets hope it continues along the same route, although I wouldn’t mind being less busy but as the Germans say C’est la vie, or was it the Spanish…

  3. Goodbye Blue Monday!

    As Monday (Tuesday) the 10th of November slowly turns into Tuesday (Wednesday) the 11th of November I always think of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., who was born on the 11th.

    He was a great writer and his books are full of memorable quotes, thoughts and random silly bits so if you haven’t already go out buy and read Slaughterhouse 5 or A Man Without a Country or both you will not regret it!

    From http://www.vonnegut.com/confetti.asp

    The above “Confetti quote” from vonnegut.com where you can actually buy his prints.

    Happy birthday Kurt!

    So it goes…

    p.s. yes I do realise its Wednesday but I’ll leave it since the tittle is so appropriate and time is relative after all…

     
     
  4. Let the skiing commence…

    The beginning of the skiing world cup season starts this weekend which to me represents the start of winter. Hoping for my favourite, Benni Raich, to win the overall and a couple of medals and to see a successful comeback of Daniel Albrecht who feel badly last year.

     
     
  5. Quote 2 - Chaplin and Einstein

    This weeks quote comes from the greatest entertainer who ever lived speaking to the greatest scientist who ever lived. I’m of course talking about Charlie Chaplin, director, composer, actor, comedian,etc and Albert Einstein, Nobel award winning theoretical physicist. Two such different people, each brilliant in their own fields, both shaped the world and influenced so many people. Albert Einstein once attended a premiere of City Lights, one of Charlie Chaplin’s greatest and most underrated films. There is where he meet Chaplin who said the following, which best describes science and entertainment : “They cheer me because they understand me, they cheer you because no one understands you.”

  7. "As we journey through life, discarding baggage along the way, we should keep an iron grip, to the very end, on the capacity for silliness. It preserves the soul from desiccation."
