It had to happen sometime and it happened last night. There's only so much a human being can take don't you think - So, I resolutely said a vehement No to CNN. No more CNN. CNN shall be CN No more (You are supposed to read it as SeeN No more!). Anyway that leaves me with an option of seeing all these talk shows in german where people laugh for apparently no reason. I tried synching my laugh with them kind of predicting when it is going to occur. But after sometime, it's not funny any more.
So, I switch to Plan B. Watching hollywood movies in German. Now I have to tell you that my parents have always felt that I am good at mind reading. I really didn't believe in it till yesterday. But I realized I could really read the minds of the actors when they are on screen and could understand the plot. Sometimes, I realized they are really dumb and are not thinking ANYTHING when they are doing the scene. In such cases, I resorted to lip reading which is the level 2 (I am waiting for a dumb Angelina Jolie movie now!) and there are times, when I just mute the TV and watch the act :) The bottom line is I realized you understand a hollywood movie anyway!
The ads in between tell me they screen friends every dienstag. So first I have to find out what dienstag is and secondly, make it on time to my apartment. Friends is easy because I remember almost all the lines. So, I would actually be watching the show, doing the talking AND the laughing! Isn't that exciting. And if you were there with me then, it will be treat for your eyes AND your ears!!
I know - My second book (the first one being Culinary algorithms for better performance) will be 101 stupid ways of whiling away time in No man's land!

@Priya - I don't get those channels anymore :( The only thing I get to see is an ad for Zhahrukh khan hitz in Zerman.
@Anonymous - what can I say :) People are either named after what they are or what they want to be :)

Ah. The joys of solitude. May I recommend reading aloud. Especially a Wodehouse. As a sort of challenge, try not to laugh, and see how many lines you last. Without laughing, that is. :)
hey, that would be interesting to do :) Alas! I don't have a wodehouse to read and buying an english book is quite impossible!
Shall do the same for Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance where the challenge would be the number of lines that I actually understand in the firs t read :)

@Anonymous - on a lighter note, what's appealing is that people think I should be able to find something interesting to whereever I go :)
Actually, the title is inspired from lennon's lines,
Tame birds sing of freedom. Wild birds fly.

After a chance discovery, through hitting one of the many teeny-weeny links on your blog, I'm not sure any longer of how anonymous I am :)
But well yes, some people have the knack of attracting interesting things to them, maybe consciously or just totally unconsciously. And having met and heard from quite a few Germans, I was quite surprised by the lack of opportunity to do anything, according to you, except for watching TV, forget about doing something interesting!

Hello. Prompt how to get acquainted with the girl it to me to like. But does not know about it
I have read through one history
Each of you has your personal story; it is your history. Keeping a diary or writing your feelings in a special notebook is a wonderful way to learn how to think and write about who you are -- to develop your own identity and voice.
People of all ages are able to do this. Your own history is special because of your circumstances: your cultural, racial, religious or ethnic background. Your story is also part of human history, a part of the story of the dignity and worth of all human beings. By putting opinions and thoughts into words, you, too, can give voice to your inner self and strivings.
A long entry by Anne Frank on April 5, 1944, written after more than a year and a half of hiding from the Nazis, describes the range of emotions 14-year-old Anne is experiencing:
". . . but the moment I was alone I knew I was going to cry my eyes out. I slid to the floor in my nightgown and began by saying my prayers, very fervently. Then I drew my knees to my chest, lay my head on my arms and cried, all huddled up on the bare floor. A loud sob brought me back down to earth, and I choked back my tears, since I didn't want anyone next door to hear me . . .
"And now it's really over. I finally realized that I must do my school work to keep from being ignorant, to get on in life, to become a journalist, because that's what I want! I know I can write. A few of my stories are good, my descriptions of the Secret Annex are humorous, much of my diary is vivid and alive, but . . . it remains to be seen whether I really have talent . . .
"When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived! But, and that's a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer? I hope so, oh, I hope so very much, because writing allows me to record everything, all my thoughts, ideals and fantasies.
"I haven't worked on Cady's Life for ages. In my mind I've worked out exactly what happens next, but the story doesn't seem to be coming along very well. I might never finish it, and it'll wind up in the wastepaper basket or the stove. That's a horrible thought, but then I say to myself, "At the age of 14 and with so little experience, you can't write about philosophy.' So onward and upward, with renewed spirits. It'll all work out, because I'm determined to write! Yours, Anne M. Frank

She's so http://startso11.info/przerubki+shreka.html sharp about finding out things.. How considerate you are, dear Edward--said Caroline--always http://startso11.info/wyrzuty+sumienia.html so thoughtful of every one's convenience.. We've been pretty good friends http://startso11.info/psycho.html for some months, and I'm going to take the risk of offending you again.. How's that? That is the http://startso11.info/.www.online.citibank.pl.html invariable rule, I believe.. This was all the Colonel saw as he bowed profoundly and led the way http://startso11.info/wojene+nieplatne+gry.html into his office, for she accepted his salutations without lifting her head.. Henceforth the neglected or suppressed train of thought is in a position to maintain itself, although this reinforcement does http://startso11.info/Odtwarzacze+mp3.html not help it to gain access to consciousness.. Now take off your things and make http://storyah44.info/budowa+klawiatury+i+myszki.html up for lost time.. Gideon had http://startso11.info/www.seks.html no intention of buying himself a ring.. Everything that can become an object of our http://storyah44.info/pks+ko%C5%9Bcierzyna.html internal perception is virtual, like the image in the telescope produced by the passage of the rays of light.. But age, as he used to say with a http://startso11.info/www.spotkania+towarzyskie.pl.html smile of immortal youth, is a matter of feeling, not of years.. The prescription clerk smiled freely, and continued his assaults http://startso11.info/jak+pierwszy+raz+zrobi%C4%87+loda.html upon a piece of blue mass.. Up in the second floor suite there was a roaring fire in the big fireplace, but there was a chill in the room that no mere fire could drive away--the chill http://storyah44.info/przewody+lan.html of absolute emptiness.. But it happened that the governor and my grandfather http://startso11.info/lakierowanie+proszkowe.html were old friends, and there was no offense.. But one http://startso11.info/www.animalsy.pl.html was a well of cool, deep water, and looking suddenly in, one day, I saw the stars.. His eye rested upon sleeping Balaam anchored to a http://storyah44.info/podoficerska+koszalin.html post in the street, and so as he recalled the treachery that lay at the base of all his affliction, gloom was added to the desolation.. Conceive that a political leader's or a barrister's address had to be transposed into pantomime, and it will be easy to understand the transformations to which the dream work is constrained by regard for this dramatization http://startso11.info/gazeta+solidarno%C5%9B%C4%87.html of the dream content.. Oh, youth--youth--youth, with its rash promises! Worn out with misery the boys slept heavily. http://startso11.info/www.dima0koldun.com.html. Podington stumbled to the bow of the boat, his efforts greatly impeded by the big cork life-preserver tied under his arms, and the motion of the boat was so violent and erratic that he was obliged to hold on to the mast with one arm and to try to loosen the knot with the other; but there was a great strain on the rope, http://startso11.info/SITE%3Awww.hotel.bialowieza.pl%2F+%C5%9Bci%C4%85gnij.html and he could do nothing with one hand.. It was his custom to tear up to this house a dozen times a week, on his father's old horse or afoot; he was wont to yell for Champe as he approached, and quarrel http://startso11.info/mitochondria.html joyously with her while he performed such errand as he had come upon; but he was gagged and hamstrung now by the hypnotism of Abner's scheme.. It would be like a gaily decorated mausoleum--bright to see, but silent and dark within. http://startso11.info/lesby.html..
