To who it may concern:

You get a 5- according to the strict grading (defined by an action of passive-aggressiveness) of person A who could not stand the orthography of person B who obviously got desperate over the empty toilet covers that it forgot how to spell. Really desperate. That’s called desperillite. A hybrid of desperate and illiterate. Usually happens when people are angry at something and as a consequence feel like leaving behind a message.

Minus Five or Five Minus (depends on how you look at it), that is pretty much the worst you could ever do in a test in Austria. What an accomplishment, but see for yourself…

Lehr, bitte fülen, danke. That's really German spelling at its worst. "Empty, please fill up, thanks" · Plus, I also took this picture with my cell but I figured I want the picture to look even more pixly than it actually is. Just to poke fun at cell phone cameras...

Oh, Toilet Stories. I simply love them.

It gets even better. You know, sometimes life is full of colorful moments as follows. I was in the bathroom and nearly burst into tears reading this “interesting” approach to German spelling. The guy in the cabin next to me gave me weird looks when I flushed and opened the cabin door and he was about to ask stupid questions. Why? It’s very awkward to get prompted to explain yourself in situations like that… First the sound of my camera going “click” (it was not supposed to do that since I put it on silent) followed by a really evil giggle. In a toilet cabin. Weiiiird. I just went on and laughed even harder. Oh toilet stories.
Do you also come across with weird moments like that? Is your life defined by awkward moments? Tell me your stories. 

That “Typical Friday”

Jane had this smart idea to keep track of what brands she interacts on a typical Friday. It’s one of these ideas that every modern blogger picks up and is really mad at himself/herself for not coming up with this on his/her own. In fact, this method is quite interesting to think of brands you encounter on a daily basis.

Brand Timeline Portrait

The toothbrush company? Google? The supermarket you buy that lunch from? The cigarettes you smoke? Try to think of all the brands you are encountering right now? Your computer company is quite obvious (duh! I want “duh” to be a brand, quite honestly owned by me and I’d charge 5 cents per usage and get rich from obnoxious cheerleaders) but there are way more logos that surround you that you don’t necessarily have to be aware of.

Obviously, starting a blog post to encourage the broad readership of today’s hip blogs is the newest things on the block, so here I am, going for it!

Ask a question - and by that I really mean any question - you always wanted to have answered by me (and not Einstein, so please spare me the scientific explanation kind of Qs) and I will do my best to find a proper answer for it.
