You don't mess with the Zohan

Yesterday I watched "You don't mess with the Zohan" with Kevin. Adam Sandler is Zohan a Israeli Counter Terrorist. He is tired of the never ending war between Israeli and Palestinian. He has a dream to become a hair stylist in NY. He tries to bluff people that he is dead and moves abroad, but his life is following him.
It is a funny movie with a lot of overacted scenes.

The Happening

Bronwyn, Andrea, Ulrike, Chris and I watched "The Happening". That movie is about plants killing humans most likely because of their wasteful behavior. The plants put toxic gases in the air which makes the people kill them self.
The movie was more to laugh than to take it serious.
3 out of 10 stars ***
After the movie we went to a Mexican restaurant where I ate chicken Cesar salad!

First time part in a world record

More than 8 million Firefox 3 downloads in 24 hours. The Guiness World Record people are now proofing the record. The browser is really nice smooth and got a lot of new cool features. One click bookmarking. Multi text selecting. First I missed my mouse gestures but with an add on the browser is also able to handle that. I recommend the following ones: Fire Gestures, Better Gmail, Forecastfox. To get the add ons you just have to click on Tools and then on Add-ons. Enjoy the new browsing era.

Thunder Storm

Yesterday at night Bronwyn and I watched a Thunderstorm from the playground. It was somewhere north thats why it did not rain there. It was the first Thunderstorm I saw in America, because I live in the basement. Regretably I did not bring my camera.
Before I went with Mariko to the apple store and asked some questions about the new apple Iphone 3G. It is a I pod touch and the new I phone 2.0. Its gonna come out on July 11 for 199$ with 8GB. I think thats cheap, even if i dont use it as a phone i can go on the internet and use it as ipod touch. The touch right now costs 299$. Lets see if the prizes will drop on July 11.

33° Celsius in the shade

Yesterday night I went out with Kristina, Mariko and Ute a girl from Salzburg she is an au pair from Brooklyn. It was really nice to meet another homeland fellow. We talked a lot about Austria.
The wheater today was terribly hot, we had 33° Celsius in the shade and there was a lot of humidity in the air. When I think about that it will get even more hot I cant look forward to it. Tommorrow it will get 36°.
Austria lost against Croatia 0:1. I couldn't see the match because the match was just on demand and I did not want to pay for it.
I also met a new au pair in Garden City today. Her name is Dorin she was born in Uganda and grew up in Sweden. She seems to be very nice. I ll gonna show her more of the GC tomorrow.

Invisible Fence

Today the yardworkers drove with the lawn mover over the cable of the invisible fence and cut it so the dogs counld go outside. Mary ordered the fence people to repair it.
I took a look at it and bought new wire (1,60$) at the Home depot store. Later I attached it to the socket inside and put the wire trough the wall outside. Then I dug up a rill and attached the broken wire to the new wire. I sealed exposed parts and then I connection the ends which I also sealed with tape. Then I took Kovus collar and got shoked! The invisible fence was working again. I burried the cable and let the dogs outside.
Mary canceld the reparation gave me 2$ and if the dogs didn't cross the invisible fence then they get shoked if the would do it now! *-*-*-*-* barf!

Lacrosse

Today when I picked up Andrew from the bus Joe C. had to come to our house because Mariko went to the dentist. When Adam got home Vincent C. also just got over from the Griffith's house (neighbors). We did the homework together but it was kind of a bit loud. Andrew finished first and started to play basketball.
After Mariko picked up the Como kids, Adam went to play the Smackdown VS RAW 2008 featuring ECW (extreme championship wrestling). At 6 Adam and I read books on the terrace and later Adam Andrew and I played Lacrosse (LAX). At 8 o'clock Adam watched the WWE Monday night Raw show. Andrew went to bed at 08:30. I will get off at 09:30 and then I will call Mariko.

Makro Lenses

The wheater today was great. Ulrike and I went to Manhattan and it had sun everywhere. I bought new equipment for my Camera Eos 400D at Adorama at 14th street 5/6 Ave. I got a Canon 200mm Telelense, Makro Extensionstubes from Kenko and a Polarizer filter. I just spent 430$/ 273€ because the things where already used. I hope I got some time in the next days to try out my new stuff.
Later we walked to the Central Park and relaxed in the sun. After burning in the sun we walked to the Pennstation and rode to Mineola. We went to Starbucks and had coffee and tea. Then we walked home.
At night I went with Mariko to Applebees and ate some Onionrings and had a drink called Mudslide (Kahlua and Vannillaicream with chocklate topping).
