Not 'better', just 'more' :D
The amount of idea's I've had to go back and throw away because they didn't work is huge...
Oh, "better", "more", "more", "better", all we will remember is the fact it can increase our chances to read something new from you :D
I can swear I have never forced someone to drink coffee. No need to worry.

I'm getting a bit fed up with the fireworks by now. They start every year a little after Yule and typically last until the 6th January, but I guess the bad weather on 6th made people postpone sending off the holiday. Not that it's anything as bad now as it was on the New Year's Eve but still, won't somebody think of the pet owners etc.

This is how the New Year's Eve is like, skip to 3:00 to get to the midnight part. In the end the whole town is covered in a thick cloud of gunpowder smoke. My parents once tried to call me to wish me happy New Year but the noise was so loud I couldn't hear them over the phone...

Oh, wow. Well. Alright.
I am now very glad that Germany is obsessed with regulations and you need to get one for fireworks whenever it's not New Year's Eve. Not that it stops the occasional firecracker shortly before or after New Years or the fireworks on the neighbor's birthday in a rural area, but at least it doesn't go rampant.
Poor pets, poor owners, poor birds... poor Laufey! :(

Roommate just dragged dog off for a nail clipping. Cue dog now screaming bloody murder, then Brother Dog hears and starts barking as well.

Farewell, peace and quiet!

I regret that chocolate-covered espresso beans don't exist in the Known World.  Imagine what either the original or Villain!SSSSona version of Sara Hallander could do with *those* as a motivational tool...

Yikes!  Yeah, bus bathrooms *are* frightening.  Even if they aren't the kind that opens directly down onto the pavement...

Glad to hear you got back safely, Piney!

Oh dear, I fear I have introduced you to a new vice! Still, as vices go it's a fairly harmless one. And *very* delicious. Get the high-cocoa, dark chocolate ones, they're generally better quality.

What could possibly go wrong? (don't say that!)

The bus was so shaky and rumbly that I don't know how anyone uses those things. I spent half my time trying to gain my balance so I could actually, like, get my pants off... ::) Also there was no light in there so I could hardly see anything >_>

Trader Joe's chocolate covered espresso beans are almost literally a staple of my diet :D
