Choc Season Mood
Wow, I’m very surprised that I now have the majority (12 people) who voted for English as (my) blog language! I thought that my German friends (if they read my blog at all) will vote more for German. Well…I will leave the voting open until I leave Germany. I do the voting because I want to write about my new life in New Mexico. I thought that my German friends probably would like to read my stories in German. I have no idea who reads my blog, so if you’re not too shy, please say your name in the comments =)
Today I worked in Kiel again. I got the job yesterday night. It wasn’t as boring as last week, it was very…busy! Today the sales for a very very popular party (for Schleswig-Holstein) called “Oldie Night” started and us, a team of three, were answering phone calls and calling people back all about the ticket order; doing it for six hours straight!!! No time for a coffee (ok, I had a half hot cup, the rest always got cold before I had time to drink it) or for a chat with my colleagues. I brought two books and my tax papers, because I thought it is as boring as last week and I have time for it. Nope. It wasn’t. And tomorrow it will be the same and Friday as well. However, some money is coming in the pot, that’s all what counts.
Here is a picture for you to guess what it is (almost a picola-quiz):
Read my to-do list from one of my last posts and you will know what it is ;o) I just say, almost 250 pages.
I couldn’t finish my to-do-list from last week completely so I will do it this week. Tax return, meeting with student loan office, car check, work certificate request, etc. I will change my eBay sales. From now on I will only sell the stuff that is worth the most, so I can set a higher prize and it’s worth it to put it on eBay and pay the eBay fees. All the small things go into boxes and, as Nathan said, will wait here for a yard sale next year (when we come to visit Germany). Sigh.
Damn, all these 
that I bought last Saturday, they already are gone….in my belly…digested…in the underground of this planet. To my defence (?) I must say that I didn’t eat chocolate since weeks!! I promise! But as soon as I think about these ‘weeks’ I cannot think about something else than CHOCOLATE.
Time for a hot chocolate now. Time for bed now. I started to write the post in the early evening. Then my sister called me and now it’s late and I better go to bed. Tomorrow it’s time for call center agent Cola again 
Still time for you to vote (see top-left). Please write your name and your preferred (planetcola-) blog language in the comments. Would be very very very and also very helpful for me.
Nov 20, 2006 • Blog & English & PiColaQUIZ & Visuelles ♥ 3 comments »Bad bad internet or maybe the best invention?
First, I’m glad to tell you that my PiCola Quiz was just solved. Congrats to Mr. Bob!!
Else I’m very busy at the moment with work and with my offline life. Besides I’m thinking about building a new weblog. Actually I already created one…I’m just playing around with designs and develop/improve-ment.
The new blog will be probably in German then…I’m not sure yet, but I think, my German readers are mostly the ones who really write comments here…maybe my English is a hassle for my international readers? I hope it’s not too bad?
Hmmm, I don’t know, if can handle two blogs at the same time though. It already is not enough time to write one blog as often as I could tell you my great and (careful, here comes some Cola-irony) always interesting stories *g*.
The World Wide Web. Based on the internet. Everyone knows it, a lot of people know how to use it and almost everyone uses it at least once in a while. I found two movies about the topic of advantage or disadvantage of the “net”.
There is no good and bad; mostly good and bad things are interdependent, but look and see:
In the following two movies you see how AmericaOnLine shows the internet-influenced-world, starting with the negative version:
(link to the “bad-internet” movie)
or
(link to the “good-internet” movie)
via basicthinking.
I’m a pro (what else did you expect from me *lol*…sorry hon). The internet is good (for me) because it offered me more advantages than disadvantages yet. It also brought me away from television, yupp it made me a TV-avoider ;o).
Of course I don’t like to be transparent/naked to everyone (although I’m a little exhibitionist, hihi), but if you know the rules, the you can brake them! Means, I know how to protect my identity at least more than others do.
Honestly once in a while I like to play being a spy (a nice spy though). Sometimes the internet can be very useful to find out things that are important for your further life (about things, people, relations, and so on). I know who you are and I know where you live and don’t play with me, don’t lie, I know everything! Hehe!!
The internet helped me to find the truth about someone that I had a relationship with a few years ago. I was happy that he was not aware (I avoid the word ‘smart’ here, because others will then say that I’m “man-hating”) enough because he never knew what I knew, even not after enough hints from MY side.
Ok, he wasn’t one of the cleverest guys on earth. Sorry I couldn’t avoid saying this. He still is one of the ignorant and unknowing men of this planet, pssssst.
I’m glad the internet still simplifies my life. What I want to know, I’m mostly able to find out…in the world wide web.
planetcola is innocent (yet) and if that changes she knows how to hide.
Yours Miss ColaMarple

Hellllooooo, where are my PiCola Quiz players?
It’s already Wednesday…Friday is solution-day…
Makes sense only if someone tries to play and guess *sniff*…come on!
Or was it too difficult (again)? Boring? You didn’t know about the quiz? You’re too shy to write (english?)? Of course you can also write German here..no problem!
Please talk to me…
Give it a try and solve my quiz here. *push*

Hey my dear quiz-lovers,
Four posts in three days, wow, you must think I’m bored at the moment. No, I haven’t too much time either, but I’m better organized at the moment or my multitasking option works better when it’s cooler outside (*g*) or whatever it is; I thought, long time no PiCola Quiz.
Here it comes!
A PiCola Quiz that is a little bit different than the last ones 
read the rest of this entry…
PiCola Quiz 4
It has been a while since the last quizzie. Actually I had a photo for you that was lying around here for a few weeks, but now I think it is too difficult to guess, so I decided on another one.
Here it comes. It shows part of something…CAN YOU GUESS IT?
The solution will be posted next friday.
I hope I’ll have some more players and guessers this time. Come on…..!! I wait for your comments…
Despairing?
I know that some of my readers are despaired because they want to know the solution for my last Picola quiz ~hello sis, thanks for the reminder~. Sorry, I wanted to publish it last friday already; I forgot…
Someone had also tried to get the right answer through the phone…careful! smart artists are around this time of the year.
Nobody else tried to guess again, so I think it was really a bit too difficult. Sorry. I will give my best with the next Picola; coming soon.
But here’s the right answer to the last Picola Quiz numero 3.
It shows a cross-section of a pear (not only a fruit, a pear! and a cut through the thick bottom part of it). You need to eat more fruit(s!) guys…
Picola Quiz 3 and New Blog Items
Hey my dear friends of gaming,
Before I forget it, I have a new Picola Quiz for you:
For newbies:
Click on the image and you’ll be linked to the Picola Quiz photo that you should guess. If you think you know what it is, write your answer as a comment to this post. But you need to give a very exact answer to win. It can be tricky, better think twice.
Good luck!
I also want to introduce my new blog items:
You find the first one in the left sidebar/column under the “Home/Current” link.
It is a wordpress plugin that shows a random proverb, saying or idiom. I collected them for a longer time and just found the right plugin to show them now on my blog easily (instead of creating a new page). I think it is a nice idea, because I, and maybe you, too, like to know proverbs, sayings or idioms in German and English.
I don’t know if they are all translated correctly, therefore it would be wonderful if you, who recognize a wrong one, please let me know!
If someone knows a good source of sayings and proverbs in english and german or wants to help me filling up my database, I appreciate your support =) Please send me an email via the “contact” form. Thanks a lot!
You can see the second new blog item when you scoll down the sidebar a little bit more.
The name is “planetcola’s Countdown” and it shows the next upcoming important dates and holidays. This (also wordpress) plugin is a little bit buggy and I don’t know if I’ll keep it. But as long it is there, you’ll see (my personal) upcoming dates and holidays. Something to count down for
Busy, love-news and PiCola’s solution
Hello everyone,
I am sorry that I am late with the solution for the last PiCola quiz. Last week was a busy week with job search, preparing applications, working, networking (that can be time-consuming, whaaa), backing up my puter, answering a lot of emails and lots of other computer related stuff (btw…My new galerie is almost done).
My hon said that I should do more exercises, he doesn’t want a computer nerd as girlfriend…grin. And he always cares for my health and what I’m eating and that I shouldn’t forget eating (what happens quite often). Sigh, yeah, this stressful time will be over soon hopefully, at least when he will be here visiting me!! Yeah, he comes to Germany that means from end of May til unknown (ok, probably 3 months) it could happen that I don’t write too often in my blog because I have better things to do…haha!! Ok, still about two months to go…No, I won’t leave you alone…I will try my best…hiding with my laptop in my bathroom (have wireless Internet) to blog around the clock =) *silly-me*
…drum-roll….The award for the right answer of the second PiCola quiz goes to….Schwesterherz! Congratulation. She is right, that my picture shows the blossoms of “Schneegloeckchen” (snowdrops), just in the opposite view (normally they hang), because I mirrored the picture and retouched it so that is was more difficult to guess :). To see the original picture click here. I took the picture one day after the beginning of spring, what was the second day without snow here…now you know why their name is “snowdrop”, because the snow just dropped off them before they show up…bigsmile. Now, they are already open and there are lots of them around, looks very beautiful and spring-like, yeah.
Unfortunately I don’t have a new game for the next week, I think I was a bit too quick with announcing the regularly game that is not very regular at the moment. I hope that you’re not disappointed I will post a new one, asap I find more time.
I don’t feel like writing about boring or annoying stuff that happens around me, it is not really changing from day to day anyway, so I better go and come back with something that earns to be written down here. My head is just full with other stuff at the moment.
I wish everyone a good week!
PiCola Quiz 2
Hey friends,
I now some of you already sit and wait for the solution of the first PiCola Quiz. I think, it was a little bit too easy for you all, because you were all right. The picture shows icicles or as they’re called in German: Eiszapfen. Click here to see the original photo. The icicles were hanging down from the roof above the house door to our backyard and they were quite long and almost hit me on my head
The next quiz comes right ahead. Click on the image; it links to a new picture.
The solution for the quiz will be posted a week from today that is next friday.
Have a good weekend everyone!
