"Worum-Tavern"

[rustynation]

No more questions on the verb. I'm wondering whether it's going to get added to the Worum-Wiki. But where do you live, Rucksack? if you lived 1,000 miles nearer than me, you'd live somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, I'm guessing!

And it's very hard to frame my picture - I'm assuming it's A4 size, and A4 is slightly narrower and slightly longer than American paper, which is usually 8.5x11 inches vs. 207x295 millimeters, the size of A4. Also, 8x10 inches is a standard American picture size, which means it's especially hard to find a frame for Fritz.

Edited to add: this is not the actual size of A4: it's 210 by 297, I think.

So, am I still a lucky charm?

[soviet_1917]

Did you do your laundry?

[rustynation]

No I didn't, but since the game wasn't on, I didn't watch it!

[soviet_1917]

well, i didn't see it either, but i really hope that was not the reason werder won! i want to see their games again when it's possible (meaning not at 5h in the night...)!

[rustynation]

The game was at 1 pm here (13 h) but god help me if it's ever on TV, and I'm too lazy to look for streams. I wouldn't watch a stream at 1 pm on a Wednesday anyway!

[soviet_1917]

don't you have to work or something? for most people the problem would not be lazyness on a weekday at 1pm

[rustynation]

I don't have a job, and I need one. I think I want one correcting people's spelling, especially of names

Actually, I've got an M.S. in journalism so I am qualified to work as a proofreader and editor, which means I should be posting on Craigslist instead of here.



Gute Nacht.

[soviet_1917]

hey, we're in the same boat! i also need a job and shouldn't post here, but i'm not a writer but a media designer. so, if you know something in nagoya, let me know

[rustynation]

How did you end up in Nagoya? I've basically lived within two hours' drive of where I was born for 90% of my life. I'm assuming you're not originally from Japan; I checked out your website and it was in German and English.

[soviet_1917]

i'm here because of my girlfriend. she's japanese, and after she had to go back to japan we spent 3 years in a far distance relationship. after i had finished my work education i took the opportunity to come here... and here i am .

it's actually not very easy here. no job, no money, and although love knows no boundaries, it sure knows constriction, if that is the right word.

before that i always lived in bremen, my hometown

since you like to correct mistakes and you have seen my website: is the english very horrible? when i read what i wrote i sometimes tend to read with a horrible hollywood nazi accent because it looks so "dschörmen"... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MisaCCcf44&feature=related

[rustynation]

That youtube clip is hilarious! And it has Fritz in it

The English on your website looks fine to me, besides the fact that it would usually be ANIMATION, no S.

So you're still with your girlfriend? That's a good thing

And as for Fritz, since you're good with graphics and I'm assuming visual arts and the way things look in general, maybe you can tell me where to hang my Fritz picture?

[rustynation]

Oh noes, what happened to poor Fritz?

[garrincha]

Fritz' back hurts.

[rustynation]

Fritz' back hurts.

I just sent the kreiszeitung article through Google translate, and I can't figure out exactly what happened.

The article says that he has some sort of "blockage" in his back. I have "blockages" in my back every day, due to being a, err, well-endowed female and a violinist. In that case, I say "Suck it up, Clemens!"

Unless he did something to a vertebra, in which case I say "Gute Besserung, Clemens!"
