i don’t know why, but the past few days i have felt like i am going to vomit everywhere….ugh…i hate feeling this way…

Because you know…we are worth it 😉

anyway….two recent pics…i look all shy in one and strange in the other, but oh well, at least my mommy loves me (most of the time anyway)…
Pics of me — don’t run away

I am too lazy to scan all of those receipts.

blah…

well at least dinner was low-carb and good. in a hour i will head to the gym and work out.

You know, I am trying to understand what are the differences between the US Postal Service and the Postal Service of Sweden. Let me give you an example. A friend of mine sent me a package by express postal mail. It got a tracking number and all of that good stuff. Look at the level of detail here, behind a LJ cut for your convenience, dear reader….

WTF…

Now that one can place images of receipts into individual Quicken entries that my life will never. be. the. same. again.!!!!!

A whole new level of financial management is within reach! Woo hoo!

The good news is that the microwave is working again so now I can defrost food quicker and havea wider meal selection.

The bad news is that the microwave is working again so now there are more bad food choices available.

Not that I hadn’t managed to eat my share of frozen mozzarella pizzas, but the expanded variety of crap now available is daunting.

My saving grace? I am not sure about the electricity here. I don’t think I can have the microwave and the entrance light on at the same time *lol*

Some people on a saturday night get ready to party.

I do research and review web lectures on Sarbanes-Oxley Requirements sections 303, 404, and 409, along with some research and web lectures on Statement of Auditing standard 70.

I’m cool.

Yes, that’s right. It’s time to select the color of the year. That color is orange.

Wanna elect the first femal german chancellor from the former communist part of the country? They should wear orange.

Want a good source of vitamin C? Orange (both a color and a thing)

Want to wear something which says “I want freedom. And democracy. And coverage on CNN”? Wear orange.

Feel like the cashier at McDonalds gave you a smaller portion of fries than you paid for? Wear It. Orange.

Sigh. It’s the color of the year. And the most misused symbol of the year too. This is akin to the ribbon movement (what isn’t there a ribbon for). Or Hallmark’s attempt to make every holiday have a card (have you ordered you card forAll Saints Day yet? I can just see it now, a card says something like “On this day that christ flew to heaven, i’m thinking of you. happy all saints day.” And with a signature that says “eternally yours (soon), Satan”)

I am in a bad mood I think, but I don’t know why. I have “Hung Up” remixes by Madonna. And they rock.

Well it has been a crazy week. My formal assignment in Sweden will go until 30 June 2006. My company is working on a local contract offer, but I don’t know that it will offer enough enticements for me to stay, but it is still early in the process. My friend’s boyfriend won the election for his region of sweden. My ex got beat up by a group of arab guys who assumed he was a nazi because he was speaking german with a friend, my other friend visting from london might have ionjured his leg and is at the hospital, and i had a yummy mini-kebab pizza and slept the day away and walked around the city for some exercise.

oh yeah, and the best part was having to visit the embassy to get something notarised only to be old my passport looks like it’s been mishandled by terrorists and being basically forced to get a new passport. Not too much of a problem except my work permit is in that passport as well as my non-expiring Ausralian visa (which was valid as long as the passport was valid) and my visa to Brazil (2 years left on it). Sigh. Cancel those plans to Sydney and Rio. And that US$12 security enhancement fee I had to pay still pisses me off. they charge ever person this amount who does anything more than come to the embassy and says hi. I asked what the fee does. The Swedish lady at the embassy said “stops terrorist attacks.” Who knew that America’s efforts to combat terrorism only required $12 per visitor to a US Embassy.

Blah I say. Or O’rly. Or damn it all to hell. I need drink.
