I should have even not believed, but nu is'es happened: I have a cold! With
krazigem neck, running nose and occasional cough I torment poor, poor guy I
by the heavy daily life ... : (All together please: ohhhh ...;)
No, it is also silly: during the day it goes with shorts and T-shirts often so hot that
we prefer the shade is present and at night is's so bitter cold that to sit properly in the
must cuddle blanket. My roommate is now already in the evening and at night
our (only) one radiator in the apartment (living room) to.
happen then too many 'all-nighter' at Cal State in accordance with variation within
sleep deficit in vitamins and Food. Not to mention the ice cold Pacific water (and beach)
during the 'surfing classes' and the caustic air conditioning in buildings. And also here the buzz
flu germs like crazy around you (a good third of my semester
has a cold). Well there, excuses's enough, makes the whole thing but not much better ...
-> el día de gracias.
On 'turkey day' I've been invited by 'nervous friend to the traditional feast with her aunt
. Was very tasty and interesting! Especially as ... well ... "Half white" in the house of a black
large family (including "Big Mama") long. ;)

Yes, I had almost forgotten. Because in Mega-City Los Angeles (County) is a place in the next
just over. Houses, fast food stores, shopping malls, houses, fast food
stores, shopping malls, houses, ... Thus, there's also everywhere
street lighting; outside until further example in Mereno Valley

already alienated from nature. Frightening ...

That's all well and good, but there's then such 'after Rabet $ 0' offers (for example, 100 CD-R
and 100 jewel cases) that they give you then sent a few weeks delay a Cheque
the entire purchase amount. And I feel somehow not quite into the brain, because
finally paid only the taxes and the actual price gets back again. And the
stamp you can save yourself even when filling the form online. How does the

visit to some business management courses in order to tighten the ...
The only explanation I have for that are the TAXES!
The whole thing is a secret stitch of the U.S. government trying to collect more taxes.
Because as we know a non-negligible share of taxes in the Great
for Pott's military budget is. Yes, and what the U.S. Army does with all the coal? Exactly! Play in distant Iraq war
! Aha, that's so! In this way, and by all the other things that I buy here and
for which I pay taxes, get me to do so indirectly finance the war. Darn and-sewn

Age Of Empires Ring Of Rome
Hello World: eat, eat, eat
-> food. What
here with the rich culinary offer as well started, has unfortunately developed in the other direction
.
The diversity of my food has been reduced to a minimum, and now I'm
here in the studio more than food in the apartment (where only a few 'cerial' and milk).
The monotonous diet runs it into specific phases: Every day (sometimes even
several times a day) I eat a certain food, and after the then leached
and become boring, play passes to the next and is now the town red
squashed.
Initially this was the already mentioned arni's famous "Daily-Cheese-Turkey-Peanutbutter-
Ketchup and mozzarella salt sandwich. "Then came 'ne time," Strawberry (Peanutbutter) -.

occasionally even fresh fruit (oho!) currently is' con Quesadilla pollo 'word: thawed deep-
frozen, marinated Haehnchenbrustfilet in the microwave, shredded and
with cheese together on' nen tortilla, and closed again irradiated shortly
I even sometimes to the other by me so hated and mocked
'. microwave-food 'let down.
Sometimes "patronizing" I still enjoy the "1 $-Chinese-food" and add the same applies to
delicious sticky rice (Shabbir' s got a rice cooker). The shop but certainly
makes a hefty profit, so I the reason for the incredibly cheap prices really do not want to know
and soon will probably still prefer to drive to another store.
Oh and then eat for about five times a day / night 'cerial' in all variations. But
has in the past week occurred something incredible: I, who can polish off every day without
end of cornflakes and Co., was the first time the feeling had:
"Oah no, full no 'mood for this shit!". The world is unstable and unpredictable ...
-> pajamas to school.
"super cool" and "totally hip" it seems currently for girls in pajama pants
go to their 'class'. Here in Long Beach's daily life and the attitude
of the people is certainly much stronger 'laid back' ("Hey Dude" surfer-mentality) than in Los Angeles
or New York City, for example, but for this new fashion trend, I'm probably
still be square-German ...
-> Arnold's signature.
Now he is really 'Governor of the State California. " A bit of a pity it already,
that I'll not make a conclusion here, because I will not enjoy
a Schwarzenegger signature on my 'graduation certificate'.
Yes, because on each "graduate" certificate from one of the State Universities in California is related to
signature of the governor!
-> holiday-gehangel.
It is a non-stop-from-holiday-to-holiday-gehangel. Halloween is barely over,
specially prepared kaufkraeftige the proportion of the population for the next big holiday
(Thanksgiving). This is again adorned everything from piefigen office, supermarkets
over to public office. Thousand 'holiday-sale-specials' and
"Make this holiday a very special one for you and your family. Use / buy / go to blabla".
And that creates no break is the 'Christmas-fanaticism' is already well under way.
Then there was still just 'Columbus Day' and 'Veterans Day', 'Fourth-of July' hatte
ich ja leider grad so verpasst - naechstes Jahr vielleicht.
Naja, in dem Sinne: Happy Thanksgiving! [aufgesetztes Laecheln]

Pictures Of The Week: xmas & job opportunities
-> job opportunities.
It's unbelievable, but here seems to be an unofficial job-generating-contest.
There are for example those guys, who stand there all day long and do nothing
but holding or waiving an advertisement sign (and get payed pretty good).
-> x-mas tree.
I just needed to take that photo, because that x-mas tree sourrounded by palm
trees appeared so strange to me.

Mens Waxing Ann Arbor
Hello world: please how many songs are from california?
California Love, California Sun, Californication, California Girls, Hotel California,
California Dreaming, California Moon ... subjective perception?
-> sniff time.
Since there in the last week "sooo cold" and become many 'ne cold
have captured (tse), seen here with people actually' walk around NEM
scarf or gloves! But I'm just a dumb head shake left ...
-> mass media. ABSOLUT you can forget
the U.S. television when it comes to
international (political) action. All news programs - if at all
can call it that - more like a mix of RTL's 'explosive'
and 'exclusive'.
The only program that is adequately informed of the daily one-hour recording of
'BBC World'. Luckily, there's even the internet with spiegel.de
etc. And also I can hear thanks to internet-stream 'Germany Funk' and earlier
to 3pm (midnight in Germany) was played for the anthem to end the day as usual, the German National
. It's kind of funny, here in the "Wild West" to hear from me otherwise
always derided German national anthem. Somehow it sounds here
"completely different" ... What
here against absolutely rocks, the radio station! There's everything your heart desires
: bold West Coast Rap / Hip Hop, Latin schmaltzy ballads,
best 60s/70s Soul / Rock / Dance Oldies, Smooth Jazz or English finest rock songs ...
-> Hollywood is everywhere. As my roommate
Shabbir currently can not find a job as a computer scientist, he has sought in recent weeks
for other alternatives. It has odd jobs including as a 'non-speaking actor
' at 'NEM film shoot. Here were the main actors Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones
and the director Steven Spielberg about him ... [Ahhhh!]
time being, but now he works regularly at 'CompUSA' (or something like Vobis
Atelco).
-> German industry norm.
Sun from time to time I receive letters were yet / write from Germany and recently
I first noticed that the paper has somehow so'n "strange" format.
Yes, this sheet of A4 paper looked into my eyes far too long and out of proportion.
If you here every day with the 'letter' format paper handled it remains insufficient,
considered that the good old standard paper quite fremdlich.
-> Underwater telephone line. THE BEACH
in particular the local telephone companies have problems with the insulation
the phone lines. Therefore, it is simply compressed air fed into the cable,
so that no water gets into the cable. And as a 'backup' are every few blocks
air bottles on the street lanterns which a possible to compensate for pressure drop
. Who may have problems - or phone lines ...
-> parking.
No, no - I get a new ticket [proud!].
But the other day was one of the "City of Long Beach" Assisting in our street and 'n
ticket issued. The car was parked illegally Maximum 30cm (red curb).
to my question, wat dat is and how much the one in the death strip purely
may extend, he replied to me 'because of what an inch or two. Haha, how can you judge
please? Asshole!
I came to my attention that I get my tickets "really" need not pay because
I only get my truck at a new registration problems would, which
so not due until a year. But who knows, who knows ...
I always go late to my second home and a few hours later
right to leave early for my first home, is my current strategy
Park: easy on the parking meter to park car parks. They're just not going
so popular because you have to cough up at 9am or later than drive away. But I find it
usually already have a parking lot, which on average "only" 500-800m is my
cot.
-> recyclable to (U.S.) American.
So, you buy up in any Getraenkedosen, beer bottles, etc. After the enjoyment of the content
throw you all very comfortable and beautiful mess
rieeesigen in the trash. Early morning we will overhaul the strumming
out and convince then later that in the garbage not only
bottle or can be located. The number of 'homeless people' here
sneak through the 'back alleys' during their night shift
good work done. And so wonderfully does the reusable bottle system / can recycling!
As the conscience is now free, you can now use more safely at home
