More Pointlessness

[oloriel]

Yupp, it's autumn. This morning I woke up because a bunch of birds was apparently discussing their route to the south right in front of my window. At least I suppose that's what the noise they were making meant.
"Let's fly via Karlsruhe, do you remember those sunflower fields?"
"There was that hunter, though. I say we fly farther east."
"Can't we just stay here for once? I want to see snowflakes!"
"All you're gonna see here is raindrops."
"Mom, I need to go to the toilet!"
"Take that car over there, darling."
"Let's just take the shortest route, ok?"
"I'm hungry!"
"Shhhh."
"Are we there yet?"
"We haven't even started yet."

I wish the kids would stop calling me sensei. It's making me feel old, and it's inappropriate anyway.

Tomorrow, my brother has to go to his... muster? examination? Where they check whether he has to serve in the army for 9 months, anyway. He hopes for T3 at the best.
They didn't take a classmate of his who is 1,70m tall and weighs 55 kg - to meagre. My bro is 1,92m and weighs 58 kg, so I guess they'll reject him, too.

Um... right.

Jau, es ist Herbst. Heute Morgen wurde ich von einem Haufen Zugvögel geweckt, die anscheinend direkt vor meinem Fenster ihre Reiseroute diskutierten. Oder so.
"Lass uns über Karlsruhe fliegen. Da waren doch diese tollen Sonnenblumenfelder."
"Aber auch dieser Jäger. Lass uns weiter östlich fliegen."
"Können wir nicht mal hierbleiben? Ich will Schneeflocken sehen!"
"Hier kriegst du eh bloß Regen zu sehen."
"Mami, ich musss mal aufs Klo!"
"Nimm das Auto da drüben, Schatz."
"Nehmen wir einfach die kürzeste Strecke, ja?"
"Ich hab Hunger!"
"Psssst."
"Sind wir schon daaaaa?"
"Wir sind noch nicht mal losgeflogen."

Ich wünschte, die Kinder im Dôjô würden aufhören, mich Sensei zu nennen. Ich fühle mich so alt. Und außerdem ist es völlig unangebracht.

Morgen muss mein Bruder zur Musterung. Er hofft auf höchstens T3.
Einen Mitschüler von ihm haben sie ausgemustert, weil er zu dünn war - 55 kg bei 1,70m. Mein Bruder ist 1,92 groß und wiegt 58 kg. Vermutlich ist er also auch zu dünn.

I love your icons- it's rare to see anyone using that artist's work.

Thanks! Yes, she's not really well-known except maybe over here, although I love her work and think she certainly deserves more recognition...

Ooh... is it a she? For some reason i was under the impression that it was a male artist, though i've forgotten the name.

Yes, she is... well... a she. I only now because of the name, though. ;)
