C.D. BALES:
I have a dream. It's not a big dream, it's just a little dream. My dream - and I hope you don't find this too crazy - is that I would like the people of this community to feel that if, God forbid, there were a fire, calling the fire department would actually be a wise thing to do. You can't have people, if their houses are burning down, saying, "Whatever you do, don't call the fire department!" That would be bad.

Got soaked too and the coffee soon grew cold but it was fun anyway. It is just like a Broadway show or movie: you have special effects, sound, a wind machine and some
guy pouring water down.
In this context: We got into the habit of yelling: "The intern...the intern..." when something like that occurs in a movie. We do that since somebody pointed out that whenever it rains or something is thrown in from the side of the screen there probably is a low-paid intern somewhere on the set who has to throw the bucket of water/the fake snowflakes/the feathers onto the set (and probably clean them up afterwards..)

Heard the old Dean Martin favourite That´s amore which always makes me nostalgic and thought of something...
Some time ago I watched this movie "In the mood for love" it was called and it had "Qui sas.." on its soundtrack. Which was kind of strange as it was a Chinese movie and the Spanish song was kind of weird in this context - but it fit...It was very sad and this song mirrored that perfectly. And I thought sometimes it would be nice to have a playlist of songs like that.
Now the big disappointment: spent ages researching the internet. Nobody else seems to like this song, at least I did not find it anywhere. Must I go out tomorrow and actually buy it on CD? Does the internet actually have limits?
Nyn went to the lake with her boyfriend. Life is unfair.
In addition, on monday I have to start an internship. Wonder how that will turn out.
Great planning: Blazing heat outside, I am working 9 - 6. And studying for my exams afterwards.
Oh yes, the pleasures of student life...(I hate people who say that)
I am not a radical feminist yabbering on about how poor women are suppressed by evil men.
The point is that there is no equality between the sexes.
Why should there be? Men and women are different. But that is no excuse for persisting in adversive behavior, excusing it with evolutionary development.
This goes for both men and women.
For one thing: The argument that women should decide between motherhood and career and not juggle both is beside the point.
There should not be any problem with that, provided the men share some of the responsibility which they often don´t.
On the other hand it should also be OK for a woman NOT to have a career if they choose to.
There you go. Does that make any sense?
Feeling kind of woozy from all this serious thinking...(female brain overheating - we are very sensitive :)

Since she was left by her boyfriend she is a fountain of wisdom regarding self-help books.
So we all swapped theories about the difference in male and female brains:
"You know, it´s all about evolution. They used to go out and hunt and then stare into the fire. And that´s what they still do."
Are all men like that? Is it in their nature? At least some of them should be able to overcome those genetic shortcomings...though we are growing more and more doubtful.
It´s not only men, though. It should not really matter to us but we found out we`re also ashamed of women who sing in front of 5000 people but cannot hold ONE SINGLE NOTE.
Plus, a freak text message had us meet Mark, who is going to Sylt with Stephen, but we lost him as the message was deleted out of confusion what to answer...
It could have been the beginning of a wonderful friendship, but alas! It comes and goes.
At least we got rid of all the lemon tarts we made on Friday. Thank you to all who took some off our hands.

Hate studying.
Why is it that the more you have to do the less you actually get done?
Guess blogging does not really help.
I went to the library the other day and checked out about 300 books I have to read before my exam in September. They looked at me strangely. As if nobody else was doing the exam. Probably everybody else is already well-prepared.
Am I the only one who feels unprepared all the time?
I am constantly behind on information "Oh, we had to sign up for this YESTERDAY?".
