I must have missed that one, lol.

I wanted to go shopping, but its minus 7 today, snowy as hell and theres loads of burst water pipes in the town centre. :/

It was -25°C here in the morning and the house was so cold (although all the ovens run on max) that I just spent the whole morning cuddling with my man (he called in sick for today *muahaha*)...ah and our cold water pipe froze... we only have warm water for today

Do you really want to know? I never ask, because I feel the answer might make me regret asking the question.

LOL. I never thought of it that way.

I have to try and get the train home tomorrow. I have no idea if they'll even be running. :/

The price for electricity will be about 25 times the normal price tomorrow.
Three cheers for capitalism at it's finest when they decided that this freakishly cold week will be a good time to shut down one reactor in one of Sweden's three nuclear power plants. That'll drive the price up real nice.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

Apparently the UK is set to run out of gas soon if this weather continues 0_o

It is scary if they are your age.

Wait till you get to my age and have a 10 year high school reunion coming up. Nothing better for both boosting your self-esteem to an all time high (seeing how far many have fallen) and also crushing it (seeing all the losers that have surpassed you) all at the same event.

It's scary if your own dad thinks it's time for you to get pregnant... :x

Great. Fuck. I just found out that the .hack//G.U. games I ordered are now stuck in german customs. Next week or so I'll probably receive a letter to get them from the customs office. Luckily, the customs office where they'll be stored lies at the train station where I have to change trains when getting home. Not so luckily, the office might be closed on Friday afternoons. Very unlucky, if I tell them to forward it to me, it might take another two weeks. Well, AND they are german bureaucrats. Earth's vogons, so to speak.

I hear the income for today was about 180 million dollars for the three biggest power companies (Sweden).

believe me... german bureaucracy is still better than its norwegian counterpart... when I was moving and sent my stuff there via post, my computer and one other package were stuck in the customs for over two weeks, until I we had managed to convince them (in a longish letter exchange) that the recipient is the same person as the sender, that I just had to use someone with an already valid address in norway as a recipient, otherwise the post would have sent them back to my old adress that would have been vacant by then (which was not desireable with a postal fee of 450€ in total for mere 10 packages).
Plus when I went there and wanted to register in the city where my new address is, they just sent me from the public registration office to the police and back - neither knowing about the exact current law situation, but either closing at 15:00 every day, so after work we could only go to one office each day, until they finally agreed that since I am an EU citizen I need not register until I want to apply for citizenship O_o (which is *so* not true due to current laws...but hey - if they rather have me living here unregistered... fine with me)
