off work :D

Today is my first day off work. I slept on Paul's couch because I was too tired to go home. Now I'm spending some time uploading more pics and adding them to my older entries - so if you get curious, go back. :-) Getting hungry now. I'll go have a nice brunch soon, maybe take a few nature photos on the way and then go home do laundry and some other household chores that have been neglected for way too long...

colour meme, seen in [info]deliolith's journal

Just because I don't have time to make proper posts at the moment (I have to catch up big time, especially with all the photo uploads!! ;-) ) - here's a quiz:

you are darkslateblue
#483D8B

Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy.

Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.

Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...

Conscientious, Fulfilled, and Spiritual

6 Renaissance, -2 Islamic, 1 Ukiyo-e, -6 Cubist, -7 Abstract and -15 Impressionist!

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life. Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence affected literature, philosopy, religion, art, politics, science, and all other aspects of intellectual enquiry. Renaissance artists looked at the human aspect of life in their art. They did not reject religion but tended to look at it in it's purest form to create visions they thought depicted the ideals of religion. Painters of this time had their own style and created works based on morality, religion, and human nature. Many of the paintings depicted what they believed to be the corrupt nature of man.


People that like Renaissance paintings like things that are more challenging. They tend to have a high emotional stability. They also tend to be more concientious then average. They have a basic understanding of human nature and therefore are not easily surprised by anything that people may do. They enjoy life and enjoy living. They are very aware of their own mortality but do not dwell on the end but what they are doing in the present. They enjoy learning, but may tend to be a bit more closed minded to new ideas as they feel that the viewpoint they have has been well researched and considered. These people are more old fashioned and not quite as progressive. They enjoy the finer things in life like comfort, a good meal, and homelife. They tend to be more spiritual or religious by nature. They are open to new aesthetic experiences.

birds on my lunch break

I had a headache at work today, I guess from stress. I took a painkiller but that didn't really work. So I thought I better get some fresh air so I spent part of my lunch break outside. Sat on a bench reading my book. I don't really like it though and also someone came to smoke a cigarette. I didn't want to be near the smoke with my headache so I ended up walking around. Walked across the road and saw another path leading to the river. Sneaked in there - and within 5 minutes I saw a grey heron standing on one leg on a rock in the water pic from the net ), a mallard duck sliding on the water like a flat stone someone threw pic from the net ), a kingfisher flying from my shore to the other shore close to the surface trying to catch a fish and showing me its beautiful chatoyant icy blue tail (first time ever I've seen one, couldn't believe my eyes!!) pics from the net ) and a brant flying over my head. pic from the net ) Too bad I didn't have the camera with me - I'll try to find some pics on the net that look like what I saw...

I went back to my workplace with a big smile on my face. :D

music is my boyfriend

new CDs

Ha! I completely forgot to mention that I got carried away a little bit at Media Markt last night... ;-) I originally went there to take 2 films in to get developped (yes! films!) - but then I ended up checking out their CD sales... and spent over 40€! All but one were cheap offers so I got quite a few: High by New Model Army (from 2007), a best of CD by Grace Jones, a best of by Luis Armstrong, a goth/metal compilation double CD that contains a song by Angelzoom feat. Apocalyptica that I didn't have (!!!), Silent Waters by Amorphis (from 2007) and The Sick's Sense by End Of Green (new and regular priced but it's a special edition book version with a bonus CD). And when I came home I found another CD in my mailbox from Amazon marketplace: Amanethes by Tiamat. Yes, I know I spend too much money on music :D.

meme result change ;-)

I've done this before, in mid-May, just before I started my new job, and got 26%. Now it seems I've changed :-).



Your Life is Better Than 52% of All People




Your life is pretty average, with lots of normal ups and downs.

You're on the way to having a better life, as long as you focus on what's really important.

Remember to take the time to do the things that you like best, and let the little things slide.

No one on their deathbed ever wished that they spent more time worrying or complaining!

wot cat

oops!!

Today at work a truck with a huge tank had a sort of accident. The tank was up in the air to be unloaded... and fell! It fell against the building and destroyed the wall about 10 m high! The windows are fine though. Heavens know how they got it out of there until I went home... ouch!! )

I have 2 days off now and I don't even know exactly what to do ;-).
