| Going To Disneyland Paris At Last~
|
I am a little afraid of the French rail company SNCF. As usual, they went on strike a couple days ago and even though they were supposed to get back to work this morning, I was worried they decided to carry on today. But no! That's one point I will not worry about today. Good.
My friend took the train tickets so I hope she won't forget to take them with her tonight. We are supposed to meet at the train station at 5:40 so I told my manager I will have to leave at 4:45. It gives me some time to get there on time. Problem is we have a conference call at 4:00 and it can last pretty long seeing what is the subject. Hmm.
No matter what, at 4:45, I'm gone!
Knowing how lucky of a person I am in life, we might experience some fun/extraordinaire situations. I'll try to remember all of them.
But maybe my friend is more lucky than me and her vibes will cover mine as our trip will be eventless. Meh. I doubt it. We'll see.
The weekend will be great anyway. It's been too long I haven't travel outside my country. *evil laughter*

| PayPal And Languages~
|
To help support Tabulas and improve my account features, I decided to register at PayPal. I used to have an account there that I used once when I was still living in the US only it was too long ago and I couldn't remember the login, password or email address I gave them.
Since I now live in Switzerland, I chose this country to register. Only the page is in German. And I don't speak German. Actually, a whole part of Switzerland don't speak German. There's the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland and the French-speaking part (where I live). So not all of Switzerland speaks German since we are a federation and we have 3 main national languages (plus a fourth tiny one).
There is no way to manually chose your country withing the registration form nor did I find a way to change the language in the Swiss registration form.
So now, I'm stuck. Either I invent myself a home address in France or I guess what I need to fill in in German. Or I open the French page, and fill in the German page. But I'm not into transferring money or receiving notification emails in German. Nope. So I'm still stuck.
PayPal must definitely be an American company. Not knowing their European geography... Tsk. I sent them an email to ask them for a solution. It was few days ago and I still haven't got any reply.
Any advise?

| Layout Change~
|
I changed my layout a tiny bit this evening. For the time it took me, the change is not extrem. I should have started from zero instead of tranforming an existing layout. Hmm.
Makes me realize how much I stink at web page layout and design. *sigh*
Cute doggie. ^_^

| Finding Old Classmates II~
|
I received an email from this friend I talked about, the one I've found by chance on my browsing evening to find a newsletter from my old school.
He told me he (of course) remembered me and he added that it was impossible to forget a crazy person like me. I felt kinda proud.
Now I wonder if other people remember the good ol'Pouick... I know I remember a lot of people although it gets more and more difficult to picture them.

| First Official Day Of Vacation~
|
It feels great! I'm visiting a friend of mine in South France (around Marseille) and the weather is great!
She has a swimming pool, which is just... absolutely fantastic! I have noting I have to do, nothing that requires my immediate attention... plenty of selfish 'me first' thoughts and siesta and fiesta. *me likes*
Well, not toally right. I still have the Royaume site to look for and complete before launch at the end of the week. -_-
But it's alright, it's a project I willingly registered for and for which I am happy to give a 100% of my capacity. Actually more like 80% during my vacation. Hmm.
Anyway! I'm still going to enjoy the vacations and try to do my best for the site.

| Life Is kicking~
|
I don't have free time anymore. It feels weird. Few months back, I had all the time I wanted to rest, spam forums and be bored. Now, it's a never ending race. I'm not really complaining but I wasn't used to it.
None of my week's evenings are free. It's all ninjutsu, swimming, Royaume organisation, etc. During the weekend, it's Royaume comity meetings, airsoft games or things with friends. My apartment is like a dorm with the mess and all.
Well, going back to my busy life right now.

| Cleaning Day~
|
Since I have my Sunday totally free this weekend, I've decided to seriously tidy up and clean my place. It's amazing the mess there is and I cannot decide where to start.
Actually, I started right after waking up by changing my computer's place. I put is back in my bedroom where the fan is. It's damn too hot in the living room right now. I'll put the comp back in there when the weather cools down.
Other than that, I went to my bro's to borrow a chair for the summer (I don't intend to move my big chair to the bedroom so I need an extra chair) and I stayed for lunch. He showed me a demp of Battlefield 2 and it looks gorgeous! Can't wait to try it!
I added a song to my radio: The Last Night. I just think this song is... beautiful.
Meh. I need to go back to the cleaning and stuff.

| I Need A New Layout~
|
Unsatisfied with this one I am.
I think I would like something original and colorful. I'm too much of a color person to like a black layout too long. It's depressing. Not that I'm easy to depress but I wouldn't want random wanderers to get depressed. Ha!
I don't have a single idea of what I would like, though. My site's layout is blue but I don't want to assort my Tabulas to my site (I did that before, though). I'll probably go for yellow, purple or green.
Arh. As if I had the time to work on a new layout anyway... Meh.
