Happy

So, here I am again, I am à nouveau proud owner of a iPhone 4S... and soooooo happy.

You could ask why, and I will tell you because it's an iPhone. That's all. 

My old one fell into water (and please, do NOT ask for details on how and when and where...) back in May. A friend lent me a Blackberry... not as much fun, I have to say, even though very efficient. My aunt had an LG smartphone she gave me... much much muuuuch less intuitive...

So now back to the nice and easy Apple way of life. Ah, it feels so good!

Farewell my Muma!

As a memory to my beloved grandmother who passed away yesterday at the age of 96.

So here are some pictures to remember her by:

 Wandrers Nachtlied II

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

über allen Gipfeln
Ist Ruh,
In allen Wipfeln
Spürest Du
Kaum einen Hauch;
Die Vögelein schweigen im Walde.
Warte nur, blade
Ruhest du auch.

so it has been a while...

 ... since I have been here... it is time...

I have been following the blogs of my friends (see to the right) and realized that I enjoyed reading them very much. It feels as if my friends were here with me (which, hélas, is not possible, given the distances) and we were just sitting on the couch, drinking coffee and chatting. And that's fun. 

Writing used to be big part of my life through my studies (American lit - yes siree!) I was a graduate assistant at the writing center of WIU. So I thought to myself that maybe it was time... 

... time to try (and I MEAN try) and write. Express myself. Tell mundane going-ons of my life. Post pics. You know, chat with you!

So until next time (soon)

cheers
