You go to funerals where lobster is served? What kind of ppl are you hanging out with in Jersey?

It's called friendship. It's like therapy for poor people.

Imagine two girls - me and my Turkobavarian former roomate chica - bellydancing to this song (she had brought the brandnew Tarkan CD from vacation in Turkey - before he got hip in general), wearing a Cuban flag (me) / a Che Guevara banner (my chica) around their hips, in a boarding school room (bunk bed and all) with scenic Alp panorama, cows with bells etc. outside of the window...

:)

[Frieda]

ha! :D

imagine 3 girls-- me and two others-- in a classroom (only 3 idiots in my year to choose old greek language) when the teacher had gone out to smoke and we were supposed to do our homework. one girl, had bought a tarkan tape on vacation in turkey, before he got hip in general. the other girl, who never said a word in class, just kept on grinning while we raided the tape recorder and turned this thing up loud, belly dancing. then the teacher came in and shouted at us because he could hear tarkan kissing from the smoking corner. oh yes. long live the 90s.

i wonder how many girls brought that cd/tape back home from turkey?? :D

[Stephi_B]

Double-ha! :D

Tarkan bellydancification in Old Greek lesson - you win! :)

[Frieda]

nah.. we weren't wearing flags.. ;) :D

[Stephi_B]

It's still a 9.5! :D

[Frieda]

what, the fact that i sat through 6 years of gymnasium with only 2 other people?? thank goodness in latin class there were 5 of us, and man, were we annoying. except for that girl that never said a word. it was lots of fun though. looking back, that's probably why i stayed in latin & greek class :rolleyes:

funny that this tarkan thing is so widespread :D

[Stephi_B]

I regret that I did not choose Latin (Greek wasn't offered at our Gymnasium at all, I even more regret that I didn't go to that Gymnasium which offered Russian as 2nd language - again another one) but French, OK French ain't a bad sausage, but in that way I was in a pure female class (like almost 30 of them!!) in 7th and 8th grade... and not particularly the nice girls, but mostly such Tussis :mad: You know the kind that always whispers viciously in groups of 2 or 3, gives strange looks to those they dislike (like me) and you never know how to deal with them... Ha, but many of them were pissed at me for a while :D, cos at that one school Carnival party our class had to do such a playback show for the programme and I was one of the three background dancers of 'Madonna' (we had an Indian 'Madonna', she did it really, really cool, better than Madonna? ;), she also was one of the more-OK girls in class) playbacking Vogue :)

NL and D aren't so much different I think in pop culture thingies :)
Do Americans and Australians know Tarkan?

[Angry Kid Hoyt]

I only know of Tarkan because you silly girls here are so giddy for him.
:D
But now that I have Googled him and watched him on Youtube, I understand your fascination.
Sadly artists that don't perform in English rarely do well in the US.

[Stephi_B]

As you co-*heart* Tarkan now, I reward you with two quintessential sentences in Turkish sausage
(it's the only things I did not forget... :o ah, well these two and 'merhaba' = hello)

seni seviyorum - I love you
sik dir lan - f**k you, piss off

;)

[Frieda]

^ in that particular order :D

what other classes did you take stephi? i'm curious how it works in D-- i had to move from class to class every hour because nobody had the same classes as i had.
when i was able to choose my own classes in 5th/6th grade i chose:
dutch
french
german
english
latin
greek
math A (the simple kind)
geography
and the non-escapable gymnastics and "society class" (maatschappijleer) in which we learned about religion, law & politics in NL and abroad.

[Stephi_B]

Oh, so have this system which we only have in Kollegstufe, that is 12th/13th grade or 11th/12th grade depending on federal state.
In Kollegstufe I got rid of French, Music - we had to sing besides the piano :eek: and play flute :eek: in class and all other sorts of embarrassing things, embarrassing for a passive lover of music like me, embarrassing even for those who can sing and play instruments I think - and Physics - yes and now I'm sitting here and doing Physics ;) - and chose as majors English and Chemistry and as other exam subjects Biology and Economics&Law (you have to take written final exams in your two majors and one of the other two, the forth is an oral exam - and these exam results are again summed up with the points you gathered in all the other subjects, where you can discard of one semester where you were not so good - in my case that was very good in Maths, where my marks deteriorated dramatically from A- to F, and now I'm sitting here giving Maths for first semester nature scientists ;)). A Bavarian specialty is Facharbeit - you have to write something like a thesis in one of your majors (me: Chemistry, analysis of Coke - the drink not the drug :D).

Up to Kollegstufe we were together in one class, having most of the courses in common, there's only twice a remixing of classes:
In 7th grade you choose the 2nd language (usually Latin/French, only if you go to a so-called Neusprachliches Gymnasium, it's Latin/Greek and you have to learn mandatory a 3rd language)
and in 9th grade you choose your branch (if you're not on a Neusprachliches Gymnasium - you're automatically language ):
nature sciences - you have more Physics/Chemistry/Biology/Maths - I chose that one
social sciences - you have more Sociology/History/Geography and I think also more R.E./Ethics
languages (only possible when 2nd language = Latin) - you have to take a 3rd language and got more hours in all the languages.
You basically have all core subjects (German, Maths, Ethics/R.E., History, English, Biology, Sports, Geography, Music and/or Art) throughout your Gymnasium time and other subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Sociology, Needlework & Crafts, 2nd/3rd language, Economics&Law at least for a period of time, plus you have to choose obligatory elective courses, I had two years Informatics and two years Spanish.

[Frieda]

oh i think we have a system like that now-- with profiles that have predetermined classes.

in my days in the 1st - 3rd grade you could only choose between atheneum and gymnasium, the latter being the first but with latin & greek as extras. it included physics, chemistry, music, craft&needlethingy, economics, geography, biology, maths and history, dutch, german, english and french.

then in the 4th you could drop a number of classes and math was split up into A and B. i also did a course in spanish in that year, but it wasn't really good. in the 5th and 6th we were working on the final exam classes only, only dutch and one foreign language were mandatory.

i had to read 60 books in my final year for all those languages together.. and big ones too.. and we had to write a new play or translate/adapt an existing one into french. that was ridiculous. my greek class pals (they also took latin) and myself adapted some of those porn poems by the latin writer catullus about lesbia :D

oh i guess you had to be there :rolleyes: :p

Sounds like heaven to me... When I went to school we had to learn poems celebrating our friendship with the Soviet Union.

[Frieda]

where was that? and was that long ago?

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

In the former Czechoslovakia. And what is a long time ago?

I still rember singing Russian songs at school and I didn't understand most of the words. It was fun, in a way, because I could substitute my own meaning for the unknown words. After sharing my ideas with classmates, singing was a lot more fun...

[Frieda]

hmm, good question.. let me rephrase that then-- when did you go to school? :)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Mostly when my mum gave me THE LOOK and didn't believe I had a headache/tummyache/something horrible which would excuse me to stay at home. It was the period roughly between 1979 and 1989.

[Stephi_B]

From where in former Czechoslovakia do you come from YsaPur?
I'm originally from very close (~50km) to the Czech border - close to Straubing (Bavaria) if that says something to you - and after the borders opened my grandparents and me where among the first people in our area to jump in the car and head east (we drove till Praha then - a city I meanwhile visited like 6, 7 times - I love it! :)) to explore and see.

Frieda: Here in East Germany there's lots of folks just 3, 5 years older than us two who still can recite Marx, Lenin & Co. (there's this two guys from biochemistry who sometimes have fun - I think you have to be an Easterner to fully grasp the fun-part ;) - with making a communist/socialist-theory-quote-battle) and of course learned Russian in school (and usually hated it, just like my Hungarian stepfather, oh he layed the whole wrath of the Hungarian people against Russia/USSR in his stories of dismal about the Russian courses - he taught me the Cyrillic letters though) and probably sang similar songs than YsaPur.

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

I come from what is now Slovakia. I live in the eastern part, near the Ukrainian border.

[Stephi_B]

In that area I've never been, only in the Hungarian close-to-Ukrainian-border-zone (that where my stepfather's from).

Anyway, hello almost-neighbour! :)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Well, it's basically one area, historically. I'm Hungarian, it is my mother tongue, Slovak is only the second language.

*waves in the dirction of Germany* Hello! :)

[Stephi_B]

*waves back to Slovakia* Jo napot! :)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Köszönöm! Do you speak Hungarian?

[Stephi_B]

Nem, just few words/phrases: all variants of saying hello according to time of the day, yes, no, thank you (one can abbreviate that with 'kös', or?) and then it's more than 10 years ago I been last in Hungary... All relatives of my stepfather spoke English, some even German, just with my stepgrandmother the conversations where a bit strange:

Me: Jo reggelt!
She: telling me something and giving me bread, milk (we always came shortly before Easter Day and she took the fasting issue very seriously)
Me: Kösönöm!
She: telling me many, many things, sometimes laughing, sometimes in agitated tone
Me: smiling, saying "Igen" when it seems fit, putting on a concerned face when it seems fit, laughing with her

Oh, she seriously loved me and told me many a thing - I did so totally not understand :D

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

That's so sweet. A lovely thing to remember.

[Stephi_B]

Yes :)

[Stephi_B]

Erm, sorry btw for messing up the randomness :o

there's a storm and it's blowing all my daffodils off the balcony :mad:

[Stephi_B]

There's a zillion pieces of dirty dishes (at least 0.7 zillion cups n glasses) in my flat, they must have multiplied while I was at work, cos I can remember having cleaned them all with love and passion exactly one week ago - why does the storm not blow them away?! :mad:

because they're not outside on your balcony, of course!

[Stephi_B]

But, but, I opened the balcony door and the kitchen window to let a *WHOOSH* solve my dish problem.... dammit, till I carry them all outside I can wash them anyhow... :(

[Frieda]

:D i'm so happy with my dish washer.. why dont you get one? they're not that expensive anymore!

[Stephi_B]

Cos I know myself, I would wash dishes even more seldom... :rolleyes:
(And then there is this acute financial crisis since like two years - always struggling to pay the bills that have to be paid :(, I don't want to take a credit, that's one of my principals... more or less my only one I figure ;) Oh, I'm looking forward to be a postdoc - I'll be finally out of the low-wage sector! :D)
And actually I LIKE washing dishes by hand (I'm strange, yes, yes) - when I'm in it, but I don't like to START...

[Frieda]

you LIKE doing the dishes?? :eek:

my god i hate it. 2nd apartment i moved into, i bought a small countertop dishwasher from some sold vacation days. 120 euros and no more fwking dishwashing.. everybody called me decadent but i was so happy with it!

[Stephi_B]

I *heart* decadents! :)

Hey, have I told you that I even more like other people's dishes (at other people's places I'm anyways almost the perfect little housewife sprung from a 50s commercial :rolleyes: - oh, how my baby sis almost got angry at me when I started washing up our mess from New Year partying in her mum's flat... well she wanted me to watch more Beatsteaks concert videos instead I figure :D, she's a Beatsteaks addict!) - now I just need to find a person who's the same nut as me in this matter - for my housework ;)

It's not strange Stephi, at least to me...I'm also a fan of dishwashing. I do a lot of thinking while I wash dishes. I also enjoy doing the dishes at friends' houses - it gives me the impression that I am purifying their environment and makes me happy. I'm less of a fan of housework though. Thankfully it is easy to find a cheap housework person in the neighborhood.

Here in my new apartment we have to do our dishes immediately after dinner otherwise the the periplaneta americanae that inhabit the building are drawn in and throw improvised sink parties.

^^Ah, somebody understands! :)

We have no cockroaches, but rats, in the cellar and I suppose also in the yard (I heard from one neighbour they saw one at the garbage containers, no wonder, it's a gourmet paradise for rats) - I don't mind them, I live on the third floor.

Washing up on Saturday was nice, cos I had company, my friend-who-is-back-in-Berlin-now-and-who-will-be-my-neighbour-soon watched me and while chatting about this and that we developed a new theory for disappearing socks - the washing machine opens a tunnel in time and some of our socks end up in Stone Age. Only by wearing our lost socks (in several single sock layers - the fashion standards back then allowed that) our ancestors survived Ice Age. ;)

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Oh, that's a nice one! My theory was that they disappear in some paralell universe to appease some angry god. I thought missing half-socks were some kind of sacrifice I had to accept as a fact.

[Frieda]

did you know there's an episode of the ghostbusters cartoon that's about that parallel universe?

[Stephi_B]

My theory was that they disappear in some paralell universe to appease some angry god.

That's a rumour Hoyt brought up - obviously he smuggled it even into comics to brainwash the masses :eek: - in order to establish himself as deity...

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

did you know there's an episode of the ghostbusters cartoon that's about that parallel universe?

No, I didn't. All my knowledge of paralell universes comes from reading Terry Pratchett.

Help! That means I've been somehow brainwashed by Hoyt, unsuspectingly...

A little while ago I saw a nun jaywalking.

Maybe it's just her habit.

Maybe she thinks the J in jaywalk stands for Jesus. Maybe it's her way of spreading the good news. Or she just wants to get to heaven real quick.

Other conveniences ease kitchenwork. The housewife simply determines in advance her menus for the week, then slips prepackaged meals into the freezer and lets the automatic food utility do the rest. At preset times, each meal slides into the microwave oven and is cooked or thawed. The meal then is served on disposable plastic plates. These plates, as well as knives, forks and spoons of the same material, are so inexpensive they can be discarded after use.

There's a dove nesting directly beneath our office's door to the outside gallery :)
(There is another nest further down the gallery, beneath the roof, since we moved in this building, but you can only see the adult dove's head from our perspective)
And she's not afraid, although we step over her head kinda when we go out to smoke.
(We step cautiously now not to scare her)
Looking forward to have a look through the grid at her young :)

[Frieda]

^ ohhhh dear pigeon lord, forgive her, because she knows not what she says

i've had pigeons nesting on my balcony in amsterdam-- too cute to remove-- until they started making loud noises all day. even before dawn. coo coooc ocoocoo ocoo oocoooo cooo ooCOOO COOOOC OOOO COOO COOOOO OOOO OO OO :eek: :eek:

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

We had a pair of pigeons nesting in a box on the balcony of our university dorm. They had baby pigeons later with their strong shrieking sounds turned on all day and this is the time when I started to hate pigeons... Enough said.

(We waited until they learned to fly and then got rid of the box. Build a nest, lazy bastards.)

[Stephi_B]

[YsaPur EsChomuw]

Sorry for being such a kill-joy. http://www.nordinho.net/vbull/images/smilies/cry3.gif

Maybe ours were specially trained by university professors in retaliation for annoying them. In turn, they were annoying us, especially at dawn when normal human beings reach their alpha levels.

I hope it won't be such a problem in the office , unless you start work at abount 4 a.m.

[Stephi_B]

Nah, no prob :)

If I can help it I don't start before 11am (:o)

Anyway, I think we'll scare her away before she lays eggs, she just flew away with a big WOOOOSH, because me ashing off in like 20cm distance irritated her I fear.

(due to which they've installed a whole bunch of surveillance cameras around the campus' buildings - the new ones at least :rolleyes: pfffft waste of tax money I say!)
are really professional :) (one would not expect that out here in the wilderness),
they come around with their bikes on the weekend when nobody (more or less) is around and take photos of the walls (and most likely check out the angles of the cams) which they'd like spray during night.

But I'm not yet that convinced by the quality of these graffiti though ;)
Too much (misspelt) text, lacking artfulness.

There was a fire today :eek:, in house 25 (building vis a vis from where I sit) :eek: ,
something exploded in an organic chemistry lab :eek:
Nothing severe happened :), none was injured :) :), and even our cluster room which is one the same floor than this lab made it and is on rather chilled 19.4-20.4°C (the cluster babe doesn't like temps > 25°C).
But it was kinda spooky. I arrived here very late (1pm) due to acute post-party hangover ;) and when I got out of the train (still slightly hangovered, oh this killer cocktails I mixed myself last night!), sirens were blasting, three firefighter trucks stood there, everyone from house 25 stood outside, firefighters blocked the entrance (oh and I had been so looking forward to a coke -- the only beverage automat is in there). It took them almost two hours to get the fire out (it was burning already over an hour when I arrived), only some minutes ago folks were allowed to go inside again.
I'll get myself a coke now... ;)

I just had a wow moment when I realised that it is about eight hours until I have to leave the house, and then it will be about eight hours until I get back again. I don't know why that amazes me.

Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger became friendly during the filming of The Patriot, but their relationship quickly soured when Mel found out that the young, straight leading man was considering the role of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain.

Rush & Molloy quote private investigator Paul Barresi as saying Gibson turned cold toward Ledger after the Aussie star ignored his advice not to play a gay cowboy.

“Ledger asked Gibson whether he should take the role of Ennis Del Mar in ‘Brokeback,’” Barresi says a “major Hollywood producer” told him. “Gibson strongly counseled against it. The role apparently ran counter to Gibson’s morality. And he felt that it would ruin Heath’s career.”

“When Gibson parted ways with Heath, it broke his heart,” contends Barresi

Wikipedia: John Chadwick
(
John Chadwick (21 May 1920 – 24 November 1998) was an English linguist and classical scholar most famous for his role in deciphering Linear B, along with Michael Ventris.


Early life and education

He was born in London and educated at St Paul's School and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and he served as an officer the Royal Navy's Special Branch during the Second World War.

After the war he married, and he was on the staff of the Oxford Classical Dictionary before beginning a Classics lectureship at Cambridge in 1952. That year he began working with Ventris on the progressive decipherment of Linear B, the two writing Documents in Mycenean Greek in 1956 following a controversial first paper three years earlier. Chadwick's philological skills were applied to Ventris' initial theory that Linear B was an early form of Greek rather than another Mediterranean language.

After Ventris' death Chadwick became the figurehead of the Linear B work, writing the accessible popular book The Decipherment of Linear B in 1958 and revising Documents in Mycenean Greek in 1978.

He retired in 1984, by which time he had become the Perceval Maitland Laurence Reader in Classics at Cambridge. He continued his scholarship until his death, being an active member of several prestigious international societies and writing numerous popular and academic articles.

Will the REAL John Chadwick P L E A S E stand up !!

Biography by Sandra Brennan
Over the course of his behind-the-scenes film career, John Chadwick did a little bit of everything. He got his start working for Chaplin Studios when he was still a teen. Later he moved to Disney studios where he voiced cartoon characters and worked as an animator. During WW II, he was a film editor for the Marine Corps and afterward worked with noted animator Bob Clampett on educational films and cartoon shorts. Eventually he added songwriting to his repertoire and penned tunes for such popular 1960s groups as the New Christy Minstrels and the Monkees.

RAMALLAH, West Bank - Every evening for the past four months, a tall young man with soulful blue eyes has been stealing hearts across the Middle East, from the refugee camps of the Gaza Strip to the gated mansions of Riyadh.

But it's not just the striking good looks of Mohannad, hero of the hugely popular Turkish TV soap "Noor," that appeal to female viewers. He's romantic, attentive to his wife, Noor, supportive of her independence and ambitions as a fashion designer — in short, a rare gem for women in conservative, male-dominated surroundings.
"Noor" delivers an idealized portrayal of modern married life as equal partnership — clashing with the norms of traditional Middle Eastern societies where elders often have the final word on whom a woman should marry and many are still confined to the role of wife and mother.
Some Muslim preachers in the West Bank and Saudi Arabia have taken notice, saying the show is un-Islamic and urging the faithful to change channels. But all the same, the show may be planting seeds of change.
