As somebody once said there’s a difference between a failure and a fiasco. A failure is simply the non-presence of success. Any fool can accomplish failure. But a fiasco… A fiasco is a disaster of untold proportions. A fiasco is a folktale told to others that makes other people feel more alive because it didn’t happened to them — Drew Baylor, Elizabeth Town

Family affairs

As I see I haven’t made any kind of update here since a couple of weeks, but I am busy tending Dol-Guldur[dot]com. We got the nice permission of Ted Nasmith to use his wonderful art on our site and so I have now begun to add it. I also thought that it is time to write new entries for the encyclopaedia and to change some of the old entries because they were really bad. This work needs a lot of time and passion, but now I have the chance to get back all the things I have forgotten in the last years where I haven’t read the Silmarillion. Hopefully, I can finish the work this week.

Alex is now finally finished with moving to his new flat. It is really great to have a new flat, but on the other side, I cannot stay there, at least currently. His parents don’t know that he has a girl friend or at least they don’t want to know me, and I am sure that they will appear in the flat every day after Alex left to work. That’s a really sucking situation. I think it is time that they must meet me, but well, Alex doesn’t want this (now)… I feel a bit needless, especially if he also doesn’t want my help. ;( I know he loves me, but I don’t want to disappear everytime his parents approach, that’s so degrading and I feel worthless and have the feeling that he is ashamed of me… :mmm2:

To change the topic now, my sister Tamara has broken her left ankle last Monday when she was try her new pedals of the mountainbike. Well, she had an operation on Friday and has to wear a plaster for six weeks. Tomorrow she is coming home from the hospital and hopefully she will be fit very soon.

What do you do against your foes?

Plush MicrobesHave you ever thought what to do against your foes? Why not giving a small present to them? That sounds to nice you think, but please take a look at these small plush microbes.

I am sure that you will find a present that fits your foe. The choice is huge and very uncommon as thinkgeek.com always stands for.

Fat Cell (Adipocyte): With our little personal trainer around, you’ll always be watching your weight.
Herpes (Herpes Simplex Virus 2): Breaking out is hard to do. Learn the facts.
Malaria (Plasmodium falciparum): The tropics have coconuts, soft beaches, clear water, shiny fish, colorful birds, steel drums, umbrella drinks. And Malaria.
Salmonella (Salmonella typhimurium): Which came first: the chicken, or the egg — or the Salmonella bacteria?
The Plague – black death (Yersinia pestis): Improved hygiene and readily available antibiotics keep this bad boy at bay. But what a history.
