Guess I have to be a bit more careful about what I write here... Now that this journal is linked from planet n. But you know what? I won't change a thing just because of that.
So, what happend last week? Well...
I annoyed a telemarketer so much that she terminated the conversation.
This weekend I was attending Furcamp 2, which is a small meeting of furries (mainly) from the Franconian and Hessian regions near Coburg organized by eosfoxx and manares.
Well, our American colleagues call their yearly department excursion "lagoon day" (because they go BBQ at a lake,) so my boss decided we'll call our excursion the same. However, we did not go to a lake. Instead, we went to Markt Feucht and visited the Hermann Oberth Raumfahrt Museum which is a small but very interesting museum dedicated to the work of Hermann Oberth, a pioneer of space technology. Very geeky exhibits, cool stuff in fact...
I guess it is becoming something like a tradition: Every year, when the Bardentreffen in Nürnberg takes place I invite a couple of friends to come over and visit this amazing free open-air festival with me. This year, doco, Kayjay, lynard_ stayed at my apartment for some nights, with Ailurus, Malcom, sibserag, thecrow_ and Edelweiß joining us at the festival.
Okay, I'll finally give it a try.
Eurofurence is getting closer and I still have plenty of things to do... Yesterday I bought, um, some stuff for the pawpet show. And, completely unrelated, I found a pair of new shoes, bicycle trousers and a new small pillow for journeys. The old pillow started to smell, so I tried to wash it. It smelled even worse afterwards. So I washed it again. Afterwards, it leaked some strange brown liquid and stank as if it had been placed in a romm filled with cigarette smoke for twenty years. Given the age of the pillow, it actually might have been. So I cut it open, and apart of lots of half-rotten chicken (!) feathers it had about 20% hay in it... No wonder it started to disintegrate. I therefor trashed it and bought a new one.
