Think I'm going Christmas crazy, just decked out my mac in a sick holiday way. New dock, all new smooth Christmas icons, used candybar of course, icurser , for the snow, yes and firefox holiday skin and you Youtube is all jazzed up too. Come check out my latest videos if you haven't yet! Happy holidays ya'll!
Now that the peek of summer is here in Germany I had a great but sure not new idea of creating a carnivorous terrarium for placement in the kitchen to get rid of all those pesky bugs. Always wanted a Venus Fly Trap too. Well OBI here has small plants starting at 3 euro to a full bowl of them for 40 euro. I myself think I will start small and work my way up, a sudden change in my finances has led to such but no worries a country girl can survive! Currently eating a nice Thai soup I bought at Aldi. Well until next time my friends! Thomasina
Hello Ya'll once again, Still swinging in Germany and having fun. The candy here is awesome and I have been eating tons, but the other day I ran across a slightly disturbing gummy: I can't figure out if is the Devil, Greenman, Pan, Demon, or Leprechaun.... It is part of the Phantasia Gummies by Haribo. so if you have an opinion don't hesitate to leave a comment! And for your viewing pleasure here is my newest video on German and American culture. Have fun!!!
As I spend my time here in Germany, I have been trying new foods and flavors. For breakfast today I had some Griess Töpfli, looked it up and it appears to be a pudding made form semolina (same thing in spaghetti) and milk, this type had apple and cinn. flavor. Vegetarian but does have Gluten. I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. The taste is fine, a little bland, but it does not smell so good and made me gag when I tried to swallow (same thing happens when I eat dim sum....) but not too bad on the calories, this breakfast only has 153 calories. The brand I had was Emmi if you want to try. Until next time! Chow!
So how would you like to spend less at the grocery store? Have a cool beautiful place to spend summer afternoons? and Support the environment? Given any thought to Permaculture? Well I never heard of the word before today but I always had a little of it in the back of my mind but these people have taken it to the next level. Turning a regular backyard or field into a garden ecosystem that mimics that of a forest, but produces food. Symbiotic relationships between plants and animals are stressed and dependence of fossil fuels and industry are stressed. Here is the link to a great documentary about with the man who got it all started: http://www.documentarywire.com/permaculture. and here is the wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture. Think about our world, we all know we need a new way of thinking and living to save the Earth that we live on.
P.S. Here is the Latest Youtube video by me! Learn German!
I've been having so much fun with all the free time I've had lately that I've pimped out my macbook completely, here check out the screen shot:
(Finder, Preview, Dashboard, App. Cleaner, Sys. Pref., VLC, imovie, itunes, Bittorrent, Firefox, Time Machine, Skype, Quicktime, Safari, Dvd player, Neooffice, automator, icursor, iphoto, daisydisk, pinter, and trash(empty is a closed chest)and eject is a skull)
So I used "Dock Switcher" to change the dock. "Candy Bar" to change the icons, and icursor to get that sparkling purple effect for my pointer. Found all these programs and icons for free just with a little searching on some blogs. I named a lot of programs up there but my faves are VLC, App. Cleaner, Neo office, and daisydisk. For those who haven't heard of them. VLC is a great program that will play almost any kind of media, also can repair bad files, and can circumvent region codes. App. Cleaner, is awesome on macs cause it hunts down all associated files and erases them too. Neooffice is an open office program for mac and is FREE! way better than paying for micro office, and is quite comparable. Lastly daisydisk, helps you see how much space you have on you hard drive(s) and tells you what already have (very pretty program too). Until next time!

P.S. Here is my latest Youtube video check it out!
So I had a little problem earlier with my Macbook. The sound wasn't working and it showed and "x" and a full sound bar. Well I went to look up what it was and found not posts except that someone said their head phones worked, so I plugged mine in and vala! sound, but wait when I pull them out there goes the sound again. Thankfully I don't like sunlight so it was dark and I perchanced to see a red light coming out of the headphone jack, hum ahaa sensor! So I just blew it out with a can of air duster and "poof" the sound was back on. So just thought I'd post just in case anyone else comes across the same problem!
Awe, speaking of my macbook, hear is a video that I made using all the cool features of imovie '09. Enjoy!
