HEEEEEEHHAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
Unpredictability of business in Nigeria!
I will maybe, just maybe, come to Frankfurt on Wednesday morning (huh, 5AM), and stay for one day.
6 hours on board the plane, then some number of hours on the ICE to AMsterdam, one or two hours there, then back to Frankfurt, night at the nice hotel, and the following day another 6 hours back to Nigeria.
Not that I mind breaking a this boring daily routine, lol.

Ah, I know them even without clicking the link. Some nice stuff.
(But you know me: No 'live' music for me - it won't make up for a good evening.)
Do you know them:

Visited my family this past weekend. Also got to see my grandparents who live farther away. While I visited them I went with my Grandmother to a church sale and got 18 classical CDs for about 5 dollars.

I took my second exam for my Physics: Electricity and Magnetism class yesterday.
I breathe a sigh of relief because that test was pushed back twice, and I'm glad to finally get it over with.
I felt pretty confident going into it. Hopefully, my grade reflects that.

Tomorrow is the Veteran's day parade and I'll be walking it in along with 3 other members of my WWII reenactor group, one of whom is my brother.
We're going to be handing out business cards with a bit of historical information on the infantry unit we portray, the 36th Infantry Division out of Texas. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hm. I don't think such a glorification of the great slaughter would be possible here. Though I know that practically every other country that took part is doing that. Always makes me wonder.
Well then ... have good weather and don't get shot.

Great slaughter? That was the last honest, necessary war the world had. It's not glorifying that people died, it's honoring that soilders everywhere were willing to lay down their lives for their country and something that they believed in, ridding the world of Nazi tyranny. Showing that some people in the new age still care about their sacrifice.

I'm just not a fan of wars - nor of 'honouring' anything that has to do with them, as 'honourable' things happen only very seldom to not at all.
Such great conflicts are never good. Maybe I'm too old to get something out of 'heroism' too.
Well - I hope you had a nice day.
