Weekend Update

It’s the first day of Christmas in Germany, it’s a Saturday, too, so what am I going to do?


  • DVD to watch: I’m not 100% sure, but I’ll find something
  • Book to read: still working on the “MYTH” series
  • Game to play: probably “Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale”


Outside, the snow is piling and it’s still falling. And tomorrow, that will turn into my business…

White Christmas

Usually, around here where I live, we can sing the song about dreaming of a white Christmas, but we rarely get one.


This morning, there was hardly a trace of snow left. The street and walkway were the usual dark grey of a slightly rainy morning, the evergreens in front of my home were, well, evergreen. The ground was dark brown (no grass) and the fence was light grey. During the morning, towards noon, snow started to fall. When I went over to my parents for Christmas Eve (which is an important day in Germany), there was a thin layer of snow on the ground. When I came back, about six hours later, there were ten centimetres of snow on the ground. The street and walkway are covered by thick, white icing. So are the evergreens and the fir trees from across the street, the ground and the fences. And snow is still falling.


For me, the snow is a minor problem, but for a lot of people in Germany, the snow is a major nuisance, because they don’t get where they’re supposed to be, whether it’s in some hotel where they wanted to spent Christmas or at home with their loved ones.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy


Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy…

Weekend Update

Another weekend, the snow is no longer falling (but still on the ground) and I have time for another weekend update.


  • DVD to watch: still haven’t gotten around to “Black Butler” volume 1
  • Book to read: still going through the “MYTH” series
  • Game to play: “Dawn’s Light” or “Dawn’s Light 2” … or both


I’m also going to put some work into the RPG I’m doing myself. I really need to get going here…

Interesting Invoice

I found this invoice online and now I’m wondering whether it was paid…

It seems quite a sensible pricing, though.
