Grrr... Arrrg...
This has become extremely annoying.
The third time blog server has been off-line, due to unforeseen difficulties. The most popular theory on why the blog crashes so often is that they have not foreseen its huge popularity and don't have enough space to supply the enormous demand. I think they’re just unprofessional and have a freaking old server, since they can’t get anything better.
I went over to the other blog server we have, MojBlog, and opened up a blog there, just in case this one goes to the dumps. But the other one is bloody complicated, I can’t make heads or tails of it… yet.
It’s snowing in Zagreb… so lovely to watch snow through the window but I went out this morning and froze. I almost slipped and fell on my ass a couple times because of the ice under the snow – tricky little thing, you can’t see it until you slip on it.
And my car skated all over the road due to me not taking my foot off the gas pedal :). Hey, I parked the car in reverse the first time today! So, I came in too close on the right and my instructor could not get out of his seat :), and he says to me, ok, now we have to straighten it a bit, now go out, ok, now go left, see how you are moving closer to that blue Citroen, ok, now a bit right, stop, STOP, ok, that’s fine, don’t worry, now just a bit left/right (this is the moment my brain lost track of what my hands were doing…), ok, now straighten the wheels.
??? <- - - That was the sign visible above my head. The million-dollar question – to which side are the wheels pointed to? I just stared at the steering wheel as if it could give me some instruction on where to turn it to… well, I got it right in the end (the instructor told me which way to turn. Of course.)
That’s enough about my driving adventures.
The big thing that’s been going on here for the past few days is (you won’t believe it) a soccer transfer!
We have two clubs that have a history of animosity between them: Hajduk from Split and Dinamo from Zagreb. Yesterday a player that was captain of Dinamo went and signed a three-year contract for Hajduk. Those of you who watch soccer – remember when Figo went from Barcelona to Real Madrid? Well, this was worse. The supporters of Dinamo made such a fuss about the whole thing, cars were demolished, policemen were injured… The supporters of Hajduk made a fuss about the whole thing too, 10,000 of them greeted the kid (and he is a kid, he’s 20-something) with banners and song… you’d thing Beckham was coming.
And that’s the biggest news in Croatia – Niko Kranjčar went to Hajduk! Screw tsunamis and screw elections, screw blizzards and screw corruption affaires – Niko went to Hajduk.
And, let’s see, what else is new… nothing comes to mind right now… so, I’m off to do something intelligent.
Frozen kisses from snowy Zagreb to you all from
Tiamat.
