The new project’s name is Audio Autmn. We had writing, we had pictures, and now we will have music.

But there will be more.

I’ll give you a song each day (or every other day, but more or less regularly), complete with youtube or other link for you to listen to. And I will give you the story behind the song. You know that I am a music addict and have a very ecclectic taste, and that music means a lot to me. Prepare for some very personal stories, and for some interesting music from the middle ages to this day.

What is going to happen next?

I gave you a poem each day in August, and a photo at least on most of the days of September. What do you want for October?

Nike just asked me to inform her blog readers that the German telecom obviously decided she should stay away from the interwebs for a couple of days. She apologizes especially to the worthians involved in the 30-days text challenge she posted below.

Currently there’s no statement on how long it will take until she’s back online.

Thanks D-TAG. Expert timing again.

And to all of you who wondered how an unexpected and indetermited period of offline time feels like… to all of you who wondered if it might be like the first forecourt of hell… to all of you I say: You. Are. So. Right.

But seriously. I really missed some of you. You know who you are.

Thanks to Chrome, I was disconnected from the world, but the world wasn’t disconnected from me. AND he played a huge part in bringing me back to life, too. More than can be said from the frickin’ German Telekom, btw. But there’s nothing new about that. So thanks for that, mate, you may remote-control me whenever you like.

So here I am now, and I really feel like hugging a tree. And I am not usually the tree-hugging kind. But there it is. Treehug. Glad to be back with you.

Guess what? She’s back online. Finally. In a little over three weeks! Congrats my dear!

P.S.: Looking forward to more remote control sessions. Err …. whatever.

So that was that. I’ll be off for the next few days and chances are that your original virtual landlady will be back online soon. As in … well, soon.

Nike: Violating your blog was good, clean and SFW fun … I’ll probably sneak back in sometime … err … soon.

A light at the end of the tunnel. At least that’s what she believes it is. They promised to send a new modem next week — well, I guess they love their families (and kneecaps), too.

Still offline. I’ve been told the computer has been fixed but the sadists at “Deutsche Telekom” refuse to send a new DSL modem. Well actually they promised to send one, but they don’t. Which makes it even worse, kind of.

Not the meteorological ‘zomg its gonnarainwtf’ style nor the economical ‘zomg mymoney isgonewtf’ type.

Just a plain and old fashioned depression.

de·pres·sion, -noun
a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason.

Hmm… then again …. three days offline is a very objective reason …. cheer up honey, it’s not even a depression (yet)!

Oh, and because you’d have asked anyway: The graphics is by candykiller.

That’s right. There is no computer. Offline day two and actually she appeared pretty sane. I think she even said something about “enjoying the housework” (I might have gotten that wrong, though). Other than that she complained about the television programme being utterly boring.

But there’s also good news: The “Deutsche Telekom” technician arrived (miracle #1) right within the announced timeslot (miracle #2), located the problem (miracle #3) and at least fixed the telephone (miracle #4). That’s enough for one day, I guess.
