I got this from my new Russian friends :D You can rotate the bulbs and the wires until everything lights up... Have fun!

EDIT: HA! I made it! After only spending an afternoon continuing to try.. *splorf* But in the end, OCD wins over dyscalculia :D

..my friend enigel has recently moved to London from Bucharest, and is searching for a shared flat. I can personally vow for her, I have been staying with her in Bucharest at her place, and she is a wonderful person :). So if you know somebody who is looking for a flatmate within commuting distance of Shoreditch - 40-45 minutes being a reasonable commute time. Somewhere on the Northern line would be great, or on a bus route and near-ish a bus station. More info in her entry here: http://enigel.livejournal.com/490927.html where you can contact her directly.
Thanks to everybody who can help :)

They, being those who are trying again (http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2063952,00.html ) to force LJ to its knees, so those who oppose the corrupt Russian government will not have a platform any more to exchange information and free opinions. Well, NOT. This is the moment to support democracy and freedom, to follow blogs like this one: http://navalny.livejournal.com/ (google translator does a good enough job to understand what he is writing) and comment, telling them that we care, that those who think killing LJ they would kill free speech should think again, because that act itself of trying to obscure the site has gained the opposition much more attention all around the world than any blog entry on LJ could.

They are getting organized on G+ and Facebook too now, and this is a good thing, so DDOS-bombing just one site won´t have much sense any more.. and Google certainly is better equipped to handle these attacks.
Just don´t flee LJ now, they need us, back up your journals on DW or wherever, regularly, but continue to post here, and to support the communities. I have had a paid account from the beginning, and will continue to do so, for sure. This site has given me so much, and it is time to give something back.

This is a war, fought on a virtual terrain but for a very real scope: winning an election with corruption and threat. Let´s not look to the other side but behave like the free democratic people we all are proud and lucky to be!!

Tomorrow I have been here for 8 years! And still going strong :D
As I said to Dan right now: I think this journal has a big part in me not having gone completely crazy yet :)

The journal, and obviously, you, my LJ-friends.

Thank you for being here always when I need you.

And cheers, to the next 8 years :)

I am still learning, there are so many functions. But I am already in awe how wonderful the fur looks with this.. and that I am able to photograph Blanche´s eyes!!

( you know you want to :D )

That was really convenient for my right lane centered scatterbrain. I totally was nearly killed in Dublin a few times some years ago bc of looking the wrong side before crossing. I wish every street in GB had these.

In other news, I nearly missed my plane this morning. Had put my alarm at 5 which would have given me comfortable time to prepare myself, have bfast and arrive at the airport in time to have a leisurly coffee and maybe some shopping.
Well, that was not to be. When I opened my eyes it was 6.24. No idea if the clock never ever rang or if I didn't hear it. first time in my life to happen, seriously. Usually I have an inner clock which wakes me automatically and the alarm is just for my inner peace. I blame the yummy glutenfree beer I endulged in yesterday evening..
Major panic ensued, I knew there was still one train with which I could possibly make it if everything went well. In 20 minutes. Cue the dadi splashing her face with water, stuffing everything in her bag, getting dressed with the fortunately prepared clothes and running to the station where I caught my train on the fly. I was lucky, no delays, no big queues at baggage control, and I made it to the gate dizzy as help but on time. Whoa.

Flight was uneventful, and now I'm on my train home :)

I don't feel stressed, fortunately, because tomorrow I'll have to drive for 6 hrs by car to a cousin's wedding w/my mom. Uh.

It has been wonderful to stay with < Lj user = "idahoswede ">, Ray, Ruby and. obvously Geraldine :D. Can't wait to see the 2 humans in Germany in 4 weeks!

The meetings have been a success, there is much interesting stuff coming up work wise, yay. Life rocks!

trying to share FB and LJ status feeds.. let´s see if this works

..and pictures there are, even if Scrapbook is being a true PITA all the time. I really miss the times of Windows XP when I could upload whole folders of pictures without problems, instead of one at a time!

( some impressions from Damascus, there are many more, to follow when I have time.. )

Everything ok, Syria is beautiful, Weather is halfway decent. Facebook cannot be accessed here, alas. Expect major picture spam.
