I am happy because i could convince my washing machine or rather its waterpump to continue working for me ... Who said you cannot solve your problems with violence anyway? Great start of the day I'd say, now the rest of the household will be to scared to try anything for the next weeks

I hope you're right, Moni.
I'm happy because I just got an appointment for this Wednesday at lunch for a very, very expensive haircut.

And although it does make me feel sick when I see the bill, I know that my hair will look lovely afterwards AND will be low-maintenance. yay!

I am happy because I woke up at the stop before mine on this S-Bahn this morning after a refreshing nap (during which the ticket checkers did their thing), but Scogs would have waked me up in time anyway. I am also happy because in spite of indulging in Weißbier and strawberry caipi yesterday evening and having had only 6 hours sleep I feel great and had a big breakfast of croissants, tzatziki, creamed cheese with spring onions, cheese, mustard and tomato.

I'm happy because Martin Scorsese
finally won an Academy Award for Best Director. After such a long wait, just like Steven Spielberg, another great director who was once overdue for an Oscar in the same category, it's good to see Marty finally win.

Well, assuming that you succeeded - congrats.
I am happy because we paid for two large siphons of beer from the Airbräu (review to follow) and amused our co-passengers on the S-Bahn posing for pictures with them.

Talking of which if someone knows of a graduate Software Engineering position in Munich then please feel free to PM me.

Because I found that the Asian supermarket at Hohnezollernplatz, Munich, sells cans of
Calpico in yoghurt or lemon.

I'm drinking calpis now. You may laugh if you like, but I'd forgotten quite how lush it is.
And no, it doesn't actually contain

have what'll hopefully be fun plans for tonight (just have to figure out what to wear now)
same for tomorrow (i'll be reunited with my Crew team!)
just got off the phone making plans for my trip to Washington DC and it appears as if Max and I will be into some St. Patrick's Day mischief.
(unhappy because I saw a crap movie. The Last Kiss. not a good movie and I didn't really enjoy the subject of it)

I finally bought myself a microwave and am now eating popcorn... mmmm.. I had bought the popcorn in June last year for when I buy a microwave (I was trying to get myself to buy one and not postpone it all the time), and I finally got one. (The popcorn's expiration date is March 07 so it's about time!)
And I am about to go to Rewe which is open till 10pm since today!

I am happy because the weather is starting to fit the calendar.
And I am happy because I found 50% of my missing cats under the Redneck van across the street - the Japanese black tom had stationed himself just off the front tire and was daring her to move. No news yet on cat #2, maybe I should look for him by smell.

The cat recovery rate is now at 100%, stinky Hexi stood meowing at the front door 28 hours after his disappearance and dry in spite of the drizzle. I will tie him to the tree in the back garden from now on (with a collar and bell) so he can hunt birds all he wants but stays put.

Our daughter did similar several years ago but with a whole (large) pot of Nivea.
We have the photo to prove it (its not digital & I wont post it).
