Annonymous followers, music uploads, ebay and random stuff

G´day,

And another special welcome to my known congregation: Hi Emily, Josara, Julia, Cord, Andrew, Scott and Bill. And another thing: this goes out to the two followers who I am not able to identify until now: relicah (no fuckin idea who you are) and Willem Parel (is that you Paul?): who the fuck are you? If you don´t want to go public, fair enough but send me a short message to jannevee@yahoo.com.au and I promise to keep the secret. If you want to remain totally annonymous I´ll insult you in every blog entry from now on (well, that not much of a threat but anyway).

Today´s blog entry will be an incoherent essay an whatever comes to my mind, random stuff which didn´t fit into former blog entries and I´ll start with complaining that you can´t upload music on neither facebook nor this blog. Well I don´t like it. I´d love to share some of my stuff but I can´t here. I guess if I´d manage to convert my audio tracks into video I´ll manage but I have no idea how...suggestions are very welcome...

Btw, iPod is the best invention ever, well actually it was the Sony walkman which revolutionised my listening habits but the iPod is the walkman´s equivalent for the 21st century. What I love about this device is that it enables you to add a soundtrack to your life. There are not many things better than walking through a crowd of people listening to whatever it is I fancy at that moment and feeling good. The music actually affects the way I walk and they way I look out at the world and my fellow humans. In a good mood on a sunny day...reggae and I´m smiling, bad mood => Slayer! I love my iPod...

Ebay: it took me a while to convince my parents to put their old kitchen up for auction on ebay but it was worth the efford. Only a week ago my father was going like "I don´t care if I get any money I just want to get rid of that stuff" as it seemed a little problematic for my parents to get rid of their old kitchen. If the guys they get the new kitchen from would have removed their old one it would have cost something around Eur 1000 so they wanted to advertise it in the paper...very last millenium. The kitchen is currently (2 pm) at Eur 300-and-something and will probably sell for more I reckon...funny enough, my father really got hoocked on ebay and checks it every half an hour...I´m looking forward to the last 5 minutes...lol...and will update the blog according to what happened later...

one hour to go...nothing new...still at Eur 300-something
40 min to go...nothing new...
30 min...nothing new...
20 min...nothing new...
15 min...wow what an unbelievable bid...just kidding...nothing new...
10 min...nothing new...
5 min...nothing new...still Eur 303.57
4 min...dito
3 min...well...guess...nothing new...
2 min...nothing new...
1 min...nothing happens..
and then the kitchen was sold for Eur 303.57 and I won the family game of guess-the-price with my guess of Eur 320. Whoowhoo...

Now it´s going gardenslaving again...here is one pic...
I took another pic, too with my shirt off...but that´s just for Josara...

Current events: elections in Iran
Dunno if the Australian news (apart from SBS) will cover that but Iran has voted yesterday. Despite the hopes of many Mahmud Ahmadinedschad has been re-"elected". It seems that he had learned how to win an election from his biggest enemy and reproduced the presidential elections in the USA 2004. Well done, mate, learn from the best! Right now it still looks calm on the street but let´s wait and see. As there were no independent election monitors the world will probably never know the amount of manipulation...like in the USA in 2004...

In other news, I became aware that all my serious relationships were with women who had a PhD or are completing their PhD. I don´t know if I should feel stupid or rather like a toy for intelligent females. Should I do a PhD too? Or does that mean that intelligent women have a blind spot when it comes to me? Well, I decided not to worry too much, I might not have a PhD but at least I have a tertial degree...pffft!

Animals in the garden
Eventually I was able to take a picture of the turtle that somehow migrated into my parents garden pond and lives in there since approx a year. Very shy animal that. The moment ot senses movement it vanishes and doesn´t come out for days.
It´s quite funny as it´s not a native turtle, the only turtle native in Germany is the European swamp turtle (Emys orbicularis) which looks like that:
so what we have living in the pond is an immigrant from somewhere warm(er) but the turtle obviously survived last winter (incl frost and ice on the pond).
This is one of the comrades who keep making all that noise and having sex all the time...amongst the other animals I have spotted, alas not photographed as my cell phone has a shitty cam, is a pheasant who is also quite noisy, several squirrels (the European red ones) and some cats. Unfortunately my father hates cats and shouts at them as soon as he sees them so they are quite shy. But I have already spent some very entertaining time watching them fishing at the shore of the pond...

Now I´m off to bake another bread as my parents loved my bread. This time I´m going to grind wheat grains and sunflower seeds myself and will add some Kutjera to the dough. Well that were my ramblings for the day...have fun, take care and cya
