Dirk's Blog Thing

... Chrischi and me talked on the phone earlier.
It appears that he installed Diablo II at home today, then added the expansion set and started playing an assassin.
Which wouldn't be all that bad, except that I did the exact same thing today. Installed D2exp, started playing an assassin.

I'm pretty sure I chose a different name for my character though.

I also watched Snatch today. Tehehehehe!
I really need to show that to Chrischi at some point ...

Chrischi visited yesterday. We watched DVDs (Event Horizon, 12 Blogcks), some more Police Squad (in color!), did some internetty things, listened to Ärzte stuff, went shopping (Pressezentrum; Wächter der Nacht, Ärzte - Bäst of), and had pizza ...

And I'm going to go to work in a few minutes ...

I meant to write stuff about this past Friday.
Because, I had a day off and Chrischi was here.

We started off by us going to the Packstation to get my 5 Amazon packages.
Then we drove into town to see if we could get our money back from those Beyond the Darkside tickets. Long story short, the shop I bought them from is not returning the money, I'll have to contact the insolvency administrator responsible (the german promoter for the show has gone out of business). I talked to that lawyer on the phone, and there's a small chance that we'll get some of our money back, in 2-5 years. That's 57€ per ticket btw.
...
We also bought Subs for lunch and dinner.

Then we drove back to my place and watched some movies.
First, Munich. I was a little sceptical with this one at first, but Chischi assured me that it's good, and so it was.
Second one was Final Destination 3 - something funny for inbetween serious movies d;
Third one, Donnie Darko (original version). Neither of us had seen this one, and I'd only ordered the DVD because I'd heard it's a good one. And so it is, I love it! It's very weird, incredibly funny in places, and had both of us dumbfounded at the end.
I did some internet reading, and I also ordered and watched the Director's Cut DVD since then, both of which helped me getting the gist of it. I think. ish.

okay let's see.
I'll start with Saturday, which I spent the first half of cleaning my place, washing dishes, etc. The usual crap I hate doing.
In the evening some friends came over. Christian & Alexandra and Schwesterchen & Stefan. I'd invited Chrischi too of course, but he was running late and called to ask about the Billard place I'd planned to go to. We decided to meet him there.
So, we talked for a bit, then decided to order pizza. Pizza arrived, we ate, yummy d:
Then a bit later we drove to the Billard place, or, more precisely, to the MuK, which is the closest place to easily find parking.
Then we started playing, Chrischi showed up a minute into the first game, then we played lots more.
At midnight a Birthday song started playing (my sister had seen to that), and I got some presents, "Happy Birthday"'s, and an SMS (:
Some time after midnight, Christian & Alexandra left, then yet another bit later, Sonja & Stefan. Chrischi and me played another 3 or 4 games, then we left too and went to my place again.
Btw, the music at the billard place rocked! Several Mark Knopfler / Dire Straits tracks, and Pink Floyd, Status Quo, Queen, etc.
Anyway, back home we did some internet things here, I packed a few things, then we both drove to Schwarzenbek. We arrived at around 4am, and I slept at my parents' place.

Was woken up at around 9am, Lara & Lena were visiting my parents' too, and were noisy d;
They're still both really cute, they're still scared of me, and Lena has a fever. O:
Anyway, did all sorts of things at my parents', then people showed up at around 3pm for coffee and cake. Yummy, Nutella cake!!!
Got more presents, and stuff.
Then later, everybody left, and my father drove me back to Lübeck.
Back here, I cleaned the mess we'd left the previous day, washed the dishes etc.

I SMSed Steffi at the airport and asked her to e-Mail me the new work schedule thing. She called a while later because e-Mail didn't work, so she told me when I'd have to be back at work (i.e. Tuesday). Then a bit later I got an SMS from her "Happy Birthday"'ing me. (:

So. Today. At some point this morning I jokingly thought to myself I should make some "New Year's Resolutions", since I've just started a new year, and stuff. Decided, again jokingly, always to get up before 10am. Which I then did. Got up at 9am, checked for e-Mails, replied to a few, then went back to bed and slept till shortly before 1pm.
(;

Right.
I made myself some very yummy food today. Then I cleaned the kitchen again. Yuck. I hate cleaning it. But it always gets so messy when I prepare proper food (i.e. not deep-frozen pizza). Oh well.
*shurgs*

Mag, I recall reading about some families issues recently. I hope you had a pleasant birthday anyway. Happy (belated) Birthday.
