Verena and I spent New Years’ Eve watching Up and enjoying some cheese and crackers.
We’re looking forward to the new year, anticipating how Zoya will develop as a young girl. Verena is taking on more responsibilities in her job as a librarian at a local college, and I’m applying for different positions within RIM.

From my favourite Ukrainian blogger , the following is an excerpt from her translation of a blog describing journalists trying to make arrangements to photograph the Ukrainian Navy:
…
A day later, I called the press service again:
- Good afternoon, my name is Serhiy Maksimishin, photographer with the Stern chronicle, Germany. I’d like to ask if there’s been any reaction to our fax letter.
- What fax letter? There haven’t been any fax letters from Germany.
- What do you mean there haven’t been any? Our newsroom said they had sent one yesterday…
- They couldn’t have sent anything, because we couldn’t have received anything.
- How come???
- Because we’ve been out of fax paper for a week already.
- Oh God, when will you get it?
- Actually, we do have it, but the person who knows how to insert it isn’t here.
- And when will this person appear?
- Call us back on Monday, maybe someone will show up…
Ah, Ukraine!
