A Vatican official has articulated seven new categories of sin “due to the phenomenon of globalization.”

They are:

• Creating poverty
• Excessive wealth
• Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
• Polluting the environment
• Drug abuse
• “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
• “Bioethical” violations such as birth control
  Well, it’s about time that this is officially a sin!

Thoughts?
I started posting my feelings about those statements I got tired though, I’ll try to post them tomorrow.

When I first heard of them, I though “yup, yup, yup, yup, huh? , hm, ah” … after actually thinking about what has been said I feel differently.

Yesterday evening, 19:30 ((7.30pm)), I was sitting at my desk, playing MahJong on Kitty ((I baptized the pink laptop to the name Kitty)). I was sitting there, waiting for my lover to come and pick me up ((to go do sports)), and I was listening to music. Music, that perfectly fit to the atmosphere and my mood.

So here’s a list of Music and Moods:

• Mood: Saturday evening, casual feelings, time to relax, maybe take a bath, light candles
• Norah Jones

  Listening to her music makes me feel warm inside. No matter in which mood I am – she brightens it up with her songs. She has an amazing voice and amazing songs.
• Mood: I’m feeling good and need to shout it out
• Caesars Palace

  You know the feeling you get when it’s sunny outside, the birds are singing, you’re feeling good?
  Their music adds the dot on the i.
• Mood: in a lounge-y mood, background music mood, I-have-the-blues mood
• AIR

  If you’ve seen The Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation or other Sophia Coppola movies you know what kind of music this is. It’s not everyone’s taste, but it’s so good.
• Mood: getting-ready-in-the-morning-mood, listening-to-music-loud-mood
• Daft Punk

  Amazing electronic music, which just makes you move along.
  If you don’t like Electronica, there’s a chance you might not like Daft Punk, but they’re another great French Band.
• Mood: ready-for-summer & vacation mood
• Buena Vista Social Club

  I love them. The songs of the old Cuban men make you feel like you’re on vacation. Ibrahim Ferrer and Compay Segundo were probably the two most famous.

FYI, The band’s names link to different pages about the bands or to a list of their songs, in case of Buena Vista Social Club also to a video. Do you listen to different music when you’re in different moods?

… it´s my new obsession… Pink it´s not even a question… Pink on the lips of your my lover, ´cause… Pink is the love you discover

Pink as the bing on your cherry… Pink ´cause you are so very… Pink it´s the color of passion… `Cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink it was love at first sight… Pink when I turn out the light

Yup Pink gets me high as a kite 💡

You little blighter 😛 !!

Bubs sent me a letter (for Halloween and Christmas) and I got it today.
I got home from work, checked my mail and there it was – a big fat envelope. It was soo unexpected! And it made me smile the whole way from the mail-box to the house-door, from the house-door to the elevator, from the elevator to my apartment 🙂

It was unexpected because I gave her my address for Enid (who now is in California) and now I got all this lovely Hello Kitty stuff! I love it 💡

I’m keeping my eye on a Hello Kitty Mouse. Here in Germany you pay 20 Euro (about 30 Dollar) for it, in the States you pay $2. GAH! 🙁

And I just found this post at kittyhell.com (scroll down) and now I want a sticker like that for my lovely pink laptop. I wonder if I’ll find something like that here in Munich. Probably not 😥

I’m excited. It’s not 100% yet, but I might be meeting my long-term online friend Bine from Dresden. She’s probably visiting Munich in March with her boyfriend, I really hope they’re coming, and then we would meet.
Exciting – I’ve never met one of my online friends. I, in generally, know less people from Germany who post blogs or in forums. None of my friends have a site.

Have you ever met some/one of your online friends? If no, would you want to? If yes, was it awkward?

The Search Queries of my last post all went to those posts:

• Just a Hello
  
  for the boob links – I even posted some lovely drawings
• I’m a caprihorn
  
  for the pimple links – “horns” growing out of me

I’m off to work, wishing you a lovely day 😆
