20 December 2006 - 1:38Packed everything …

So, here I am … tomorrow morning at 9 I will be enjoining the sunrise from my plane heading to Romania (via Vienna). I am going to be out of Copenhagen for the next 2 weeks, but I will probably drop by my blog once in a while on sleepless nights.
Packed lots of stuff, unfortunately the presents take much of the space but it’s Christmas therefore it’s kind of normal to have many presents on. About the clothes ? Don’t ask? I will probably buy some more from Constanta, cause there’s not much fitting in that suitcase right now. But in the mean time, wish me a safe flight and everything! :o )

19 December 2006 - 2:04Changed the template…

Felt the need for a change … wanted to become a bit Christmas-ish, but of course the blogger guys didn’t prepare any X-mas look for us … so my mindfields will stay like this until I will find the time to make some custom modifications to the layout.

18 December 2006 - 19:38Headache mode ON…

Recently I have discovered that I get headaches more and more often. I am going to ignore the one I have right now and put it on the fact that it is Monday and in no less 36 hours I will depart Copenhagen to fly to Bucharest (via Vienna). So … I am behind with the schedule on the project (nothing new there), I have no mood into getting in schedule … I have to pack presents and make my luggage and prepare my laptop and everything. At this point thinking if Illum or Magasin du Nord are closer than Fields. They are closer … but do they have what I need ? Are they still opened ? Questions questions … aaarrghhh … headache ….
~appx 2 days left

17 December 2006 - 22:38I’m selling Dodo


For those of you who don’t know Dodo yet … this is him …
Dodo has been my friend for almost one year now, and geeky speaking he has been the best desktop replacement I could ever think of. Dodo has been too heavy for lazy me to carry around but he has enchanted me with speed (2,0 amd64) and overall performance all year long. But now he has to go. I’ve always had a very strange feeling when selling a piece of hardware that belonged to me and me only, especially if that particular thing did not make any problems at all. That’s Dodo … he has been very responsive and I do feel a bit sorry that I will sell him, to a friend it’s true … and he will be replaced by a HP Pavillion dv2000.
Hmmm .. have to restart …

15 December 2006 - 1:24Paris … oh yeah


So, I came back a few days ago, but I found myself quite busy and unwilling to write anything here. Paris … Paris was great, more than great, astonishing. I just wish I was sober more so I could remember things better. We got to the hotel on Thursday evening, after spending 1,5 hours in an infernal traffic jam, surrounded by hundreds of Parisians coming home from work. The hotel “Jardins du Marais” was extremely welcoming and offered very good services. Actually, me and my room-mate Mikkel had the luck of sharing an apartment with separate rooms, double beds, 2 TVs and everything, while all others had 1 room, 2 single beds and stuff like that. Very very nice. At some point I could actually feel getting used to leaving the bed undone, or leaving your towel all over the place. A few hours later it everything was clean and fresh. Damn… 4 star hotels have it all. Anyway … on Friday morning we had a conference in the hotels big meeting room and after all we have been split up into 8-person teams and given some assignments to different touristic locations throughout Paris, where we had to do stuff. A kind of contest… I will write about that sometime later. Had a dinner-party in a very nice place called Restaurant Hollywood – Savoy, we had the live band and everything, we got wasted and later that night we arrived sometime around 3 (am that is)I guess in one of Paris most hot clubs called Cabaret (I think this is the url), which was extremely cool, as far as I recall…. things were a bit blurry at that point. Oh, and one thing, if you plan on going out in Paris, you have to be extremely lucky to find a cab in less than 1 hour around 6 am. For some reason they tend not to stop … at all … free or not. Pirat cabs will take usually 3 times the normal fare. So better get some patience in case you are too wasted or too tired to go “home” on foot. Saturday … oh yes … saturday, we went sightseeing and shopping. I bought some perfumes among which this one. Spend some gooood cash. Saturday evening dinner at a rustic restaurant … not the best I had … a few beers , and sleep mode. Sunday morning, woke up, had breakfast (no … not in bed), and went to the Eiffel Tour as I had to go up. I just had to. I didn’t get a chance to do it on Saturday as it was too crowded … here is a picture from up there. Will add more pictures sometime perhaps in a gallery. Went in the tower … which was again … amazing… got down and went back to the hotel, where we had to check out and stuff. Came home …
Found my room painted and all my stuff which was in the bath moved out cause they started work there as well … oh joy. Anyway … I guess enough for tonight … gonna write about Paris a bit more some other time. Till then … Romania is closing in 6 days … no … 5 .. and counting. `nite ppl

5 December 2006 - 15:48Paint guy …

Last night I didn’t sleep … almost at all. I managed to get almost 1 hour of sleep before someone knocked on my door. And heellooo paint guy … NOT! Surprise surprise it was the floor man. Apparently I miss-interpreted the note I had last night in my door saying they will paint my walls today … they actually wanted to do the floor today. I can’t say that I’m sorry, but yes I would have loved to have the paint done first. Why ? Because then the new floor wouldn’t get stained and the I could have the floor done in one day while I was away somewhere. I look forward to see my new floor and I can’t wait to take my TV out of my bathroom.

5 December 2006 - 0:53Moved … again

So … Friday I began the over-complicated and much hated process of moving. Come to think of it in the last 1,5 year I moved not less than 4 times. Now, I was just about not to take in consideration this change of rooms a real moving process, but you know what ? It became itself a real pain in the ass. Why ?
Where should I start from ? Well, first of all the lady in the administration told me that the room needs improvements … and I thought it’s just a minor touch up here and there. 1 2 3 4 5 NOT !
I think the guy who used to live here before me never knew one or more of the following words : cleaning , vacuuming, maintenance, common sense, opening up the window after a shower (ok I went over 1 word), but you people got the idea.
So this morning while I was showering some guy popped up in my room, saying he was for the repairs. Well, ok dude … but I am having a shower .. “oh … ok ok … I’m coming back in 20 minutes”. And he did … 3 of them .. they fixed minor things, and he took out the paper with the rest of things that need to be fixed … like … the painting …. the floor … minor things like this. :P Anyyyywaaay … today when I came home from work, I got a notice in my door saying tomorrow morning at 7:30 the painting fun starts. Shiiiiiiiiit… I hope I can wake up before they start messing around. Have no clue at this point what I should do with all the things in my room which need to be protected from the bastards who will paint. As I understand it will take only one day to have it done .. and one more day for the floors (is that wishful thinking?), but its free to dream right ? And, as it wasn’t already too good to be true … Paris is coming up in 4 days … weee … 1 2 3 4 NOOT! In this situation I would have liked to have at least a few more days to finish up this mumbo jumbo. Not exactly the perfect timing, but when things can go wrong they will.
Next … oh yeah … received an mp3 player today from MSN/Microsoft … quite nice … I had a similar one already, which would make a nice Christmas present for my sister (my real one), as its barely used and I still have the box. They seemed to be very honored by our presence at the Christmas Brunch they organized last week (which was very nice indeed). Oh loook … M&M’s … mmm.. I was kind of hungry as well. After I come from Paris I have to start getting ready to go back to Romania for the holidays. therefore I see no improvements in the messy way I live right now till after New Years. Tomorrow I have to do some stuff … firstly I have to go to school, meet up with the group and discuss the project development with our coach teacher. Hopefully by 12 we will finish and I can go to work for a few hours before coming home and seeing how the new paint looks. Hmm… that’s all for now … I wish I could write more but I just won’t for now. ‘Nite people …
