Letter to the future

Recently, I read in the newspaper about people in a city in the USA. Before, in the year 1957, the city digged down a car. 50 years later, the city will take up this car again, i.e this year 2007. Interesting.

Now you can send an e-mail to yourself, to be delivered at a later date. You can receive that e-mail from yourself 1 year later, or 2 years later or 20 years later or so.

So, I have sent an e-mail to myself in the future. I wrote my e-mail on June 2nd 2007. I will receive this e-mail on June 2nd 2008, one year later. Where am I then? :-)

Moving...

Yay! This summer I will move to a new apartment in a new town! Very exciting! I haven't been to the apartment and seen it myself, but my sister have been there, since she lives in that area.

She called me from her mobile phone and showed me on her 3G mobile, so I could see the apartment through the video in my mobile.

Then I e-mailed the new landlord and said yes to this apartment and signed the contract. (They sent it to me, and after signing it, I sent it back to them)
So, now I'm ready to move! I'm moving 722 miles, from North to South. That's far.

Now, some deep questions.
- How much is 50 sq ft?
- How to move with a computer?

I have contacted some movers and got their quotes, saying "Cost estimate for 50 sq ft". So, now I need to know how much is 50 sq ft? Is it 2x5 metres? Just guessing, I was never good at math in school... lol

And how do I move with a computer? I'm not allowed to send my computer with the mover. So I have to move it myself. Can my computer be checked in as baggage if I take the flight? Or is it better to send it as parcel with a delivery service?

Hmmm, lot of things to think about...

Cat + puppy

This Easter I have been babysitting my mum's cat Misse. I'm signing in Swedish Sign Language, translation into English: "I have been babysitting the cat during the Easter. Mum travelled to Norway, and I came here to babysit the cat."
The puppy in the end of the video, is my sister's puppy Morris. Cute!

My Easter diary:
April 5th:
Came to mum's house. I'm learning about the cat's needs, e.g when to feed her, when to let her out and when to let her in.

April 6th:
I'm reading books today. "The Lighthouse" by P D James and a book from a Swedish author "The Second Goal" by Jonas Karlsson. So far, the books are good.
The cat is fine and eats heartily.

April 7th:
Me and my sister went to a shopping centre. I bought a nice spring jacket and a cap.

April 8th:
My nieces are learning horse riding in a horse riding school. Today I was there and looked at them. They have learned a lot, and are good in riding horses.
It have been raining all day today. The cat refused to go out. She wanted to stay inside, instead of getting wet in the rain!

April 9th:
Today I baked a Lemon Cheesecake. I invited my sister and my nieces to taste it. They ate twice from the cake. It must mean the cake tasted good, or were they only polite? Hmmm...
The cat always go out through the front door. But suddenly she wanted to go out through the back door instead. Very strange. I'm confused.

April 10th:
My mum came home today. My mission is finished.
The cat followed mum like a shadow. I could see that the cat have missed her "mum" a lot. Cute!

Male interpreter

Right now, a new trainee is working as Sign Language interpreter this week and next week. Sometimes trainees come here and work as trainee interpreters. They are studying to become qualified interpreters.

But my deaf friends seems to think that this trainee is very special, they almost jump for joy and are very surprised. Why? Because this trainee is male.

Have they never seen a male interpreter? Sure, there are more female interpreters than male interpreters, but it's not that unusual with male interpreters.

I have lived here and there and moved around to different places, so for me, male interpreters are not unusual. Maybe my deaf friends in this town haven't seen any male interpreters? That's why they are so overjoyed with this male trainee? Hmmm... interesting...

Well, just my thoughts for today...
