So how about some homework?
General | Posted 17 years agoFinally got some free days after an interminable period of exhausting work, and I really need to relax a little. I'd love to do this over a few drawings... but I've got some kind of block. At least I can't really think of a motive... or even a theme. The tip of my pencil gets stuck all the time after just sketching a few lines... and the rest of the paper remains blank (and without any hope of ever being filled).
Well, maybe I just need someone to tweak me a little (like always when I can't lift a finger to do anything) ...or to put it in different words: homework. ;)
So is there anything you'd like to see me drawing? :) No promises though that the result will be a perfect one... but I'll try my best. :D Always could use some inspirational motivation. *g*

A note about actually nothing
General | Posted 17 years agoImagine you finally have your internet-flatrate... but you hardly use it because you're either at work, tired of work or just completely elsewhere than at home.
*yawn*
Another result of this semi-absence is that my flat currently looks like... well... I actually don't want to say what exactly it looks like. But the "tidiness" has slight Bosch-influences.
Tickle me until I'm finally awake or something... I'd really appreciate that...
But hey... at least my new working place is fun. And that's something I can't say about... well... all the ones I've had before.
Nonetheless I'm crawling back into my bed... to die!!! *snooze* Gnah. Shouldn't a dragon have a little more stamina than that?

Some more ARCOR-nonsense. Douglas Adams, here I come!
General | Posted 18 years agoYesterday I noticed that some money was passed on from my account to the one of my funny little phone company... which reminded me that I didn't get a letter with a bill for this month... which could only mean that they sent it to W-Street, despite knowing that I've been living in M-Street for four weeks. *sigh* So I went to one of my friends again and called the ARCOR-guys.
Me: “I didn't get my bill for this month. Could it be that you're still sending it to my old address?”
ARCOR-guy: “Oh, yes! I can see it on the screen just now that you were moving.”
Me: “Exactly. But I thought that was already established in prior letters and phone calls...?”
Guy: “So when are to going to move to W-Street?”
Me: “About a year ago and since four weeks it's not my home anymore. NOW I'm living in M-Street. You actually even sent a letter with a form to that place a few weeks ago.”
Guy: “But the phone is not switched to your new place yet!”
Me: “I know. But why send the letter to the old address when I'm not there to catch it?”
Guy: “Because this is where your phone is still signed to.”
Me: “But this doesn't make SENSE! I can't believe that I actually have to DISCUSS this!”
Guy: “Whatever, I can change the address if you like.”
Me: “Whee, go ahead!”
Guy: *does some computer-work*
Me: “Oh, by the way... In one of my earlier calls your colleague told me I could get a new modem because my old one you gave me back then is completely outdated.”
Guy: “Sure, I just have to check what your old one is and when you received it. *clickclicktypetype* Hm, are you sure that you have a modem?”
Me: “Uh... Sorry? Yes, I am?”
Guy: “But the computer says that we never gave you one.”
Me: “Then tell me how I was able to get online the past few years.”
Guy: “I don't know. Are you sure you that ever were online?”
Me: “Why don't you check my bills on your computer and see it for yourself?”
Guy: “Oh, yes! They say that you have a broadbent-connection!”
Me: “Ballsy, isn't it? So what happens now?”
Guy: “Well... if we never gave you a modem before then I can't see why there should be a problem to get you a new one.”
Me: “Yay!”
...and so on. There was much more stupidity going on in that conversation (and most of it could have come straight out of a Douglas Adams-book or a “Seinfeld”-episode), but I don't feel for typing down all of it. The stuff above should be enough for now.
But hey... at least I could tickle a “back online”-date out of him (something which they also put into a letter... which went to my OLD address, argh!). March, the 11th! Which still is almost two weeks into the future... but yay! At last!

Yyyyyyeeeeeessssss!!!
General | Posted 18 years agoFook me with a fork, I've got the job! *sigh of relief* The only important thing now is that I'm not going as usual. *lol*
Ah... and Dr L. wants me to quit my little nightshift-thing that I have still going on. I'd rather not... because a) it's always nice to get some little extra-money and b) the chief there certainly wouldn't like it. Well, actually she would be PISSED. *lol* But we'll see how this is going to turn out. My new chief already told me that she'll have a word with the said doctor, especially since it's in her best interest if I keep that one. She also has one of those nightshift-jobs there and when nightshift-chief learns that new chief "grabbed" me from that place, she's going to be in trouble. *lol*
But what the heck... finally I'll have some reasonable money in my life. *laughs like an insane maniac... because this is what he actually IS right now*

A job interview... and Gargoyles-comics
General | Posted 18 years agoI have a job interview tomorrow and am a little fidgety about it. Too fidgety to stay alone at home... so here I am, back in the internet café. I actually shouldn't do this because there isn't much money left in my purse for this month... but what the heck, I can't roleplay Scrooge McDuck all the time. Anyway, wish me luck for tomorrow. I might need it. *~*
Today also arrived that “Gargoyles”-graphic novel/reprint of issues #1-#6 I ordered a few weeks ago and completely forgot about by now. Anyway, it was a nice quick read on the bus... and that's one of the reasons why I had some problems with it. Well, it's nice to have a continuation of the story after so many years, but it's just so... dunno... superficial and lacking in depth. What I loved so much about the TV show were the characters, the dialogue, the storytelling... and these are the things which were running a bit short in this volume. :-/ Most of the pages consist of large pictures with small text bubbles... and the result of it is that there isn't much development, neither plotwise nor regarding the characters. For the most part it's merely events on a string, and there's not much meat between them to hold them together. It just didn't make much of a lasting impression on me and I'm afraid that I forgot most of what happened by the time when the second volume comes out.
Re: “forgetting” ...I also noticed that I got a little rusty when it comes to “Gargoyles”-trivia. Back then I watched the episodes until my face turned blue and even wrote loads of fanfiction (*blushes*), but I have no recollection whatsoever of this Judge Roebling-guy. Seriously, who is he?! Same goes for Dr Sato. But at least his face and name felt familiar. I just don't know in which episode or storyline to put him.
But well... one way or another I'm a little disappointed. *sigh* I would have preferred it if Greg Weissman had written novels. But I guess you don't get too many comic-fans (which are, when it comes down to it, the actual target audience) to sit down and read a book. Or it's at least what the publishers like to think.
Tomorrow evening I'm going to see “Sweeney Todd” with some friends. Let's see how that one is going to be and whether it was worth the wait.
And... what have *you* been doing? Especially the ones who still haven't replied to my messages and PM so far? *coughcough* I'd really love to hear from you guys. ;)

The evil deeds of ARCOR (and other stories)
General | Posted 18 years agoRemember the last time when I was moving to a new flat and ARCOR couldn't be arsed to get my phone/internet-connection up and running? About 1 ½ years ago or something? That was fun, wasn't it? Well, it's not that I want to wake any evil spirits of the past, but I already smell the first petty signs of typical ARCOR-asshattery leading up to a loooong and dreary wait for a working phone-connection.
Two weeks had gone by without a single reply by that funky phone organization and I began to worry whether they actually ever received my “I'm moving!”-letter. So I went to friends of mine who allowed me to use their phone and call ARCOR... and the conversation went like this:
Me: “Um, hello! I wondered what happened to my little order. The one about the new address and such. It takes a little long, doesn't it?”
ARCOR-guy: “Oh, thank goodness that you're calling! We tried to reach you all the time!”
Me: “Uh, whut?”
ARCOR-guy: “Yes, but the phone seemed to dead! Reproach, reproach, reproach! I don't like you very much right now, you evil thing, you!”
Me: “Well, take another look at my letter and read what it says. I've been living in my new flat for almost a week now. And now try to guess why my phone was dead in exactly those days.”
ARCOR-guy: “Oh no! Defeated by logic! I can't bear it, I can't bear it! I'm melting!!!”
*headdesk*
Anyway, what came out of it was that they sent me a new form, I filled it out and sent it back again... and now I spend my days hoping that they finally got what the whole thing is about. At least they seem to have acknowledged that I live somewhere else now. That their letter landed in my *new* mailbox indicates it.
So what does one do in his free-time when he has no flatrate polluting his computer and therefore no one to talk to online? Watching. Like TV, harrdiharr. But I quickly gave it up again, because the dross that they show there reminded me why I actually turned that thing off in the first place. And I know everyone complains about it, but I personally have to say it at least once... today's music television is a wasteland. All silly dating shows, no clips. I want my 90s MTV back. And VIVA II. Especially VIVA II. *sigh* Instead I had the news channels running in the background... but since even they get boring after a while, I pulled my unwatched DVDs out of the shelves and gave them a go... like “Crusade” (that short-lived follow-up show to “Babylon 5”) and several movies that I've bought over a period of time but never felt the urge to actually sit down and watch them.
And then there's reading. I finally began to read the latest Walter Moers/Zamonien-book I got as a birthday present a few months ago... and then there are some unread Clive Barker-tomes on my shelves as well. Guess I'll go on with them when I'm finished with that Moers-thingy. I'm in the mood for some deliciously icky stuff anyway.
Or I could do something creative after all. I haven't written anything for a while now... or at least nothing that got past a “The beginning!”-state. And it's not that I don't have any ideas... I'm always just too lazy to actually flesh them out. *sigh* Well, let's see...
But anyway... For now at least I finishing typing this entry, so you know that I'm still alive. ;)
