Talking alien!

No chinchillas as yet ... but I promise you I will someday write about them ... my immediate and pressing issue is trying to access my blog/email/google in english! with google.com its easy, there's a link that ends with 'google.com' ... even though it will begin with Turkish or French or German or whatever is the language of choice in the region!

I decided to write SOMETHING in my blog (after promising 5 months ago that I will) and it was a NIGHTMARE trying to find my way to the dashboard ... let me illustrate:

1. EVERYTHING is in German. I currently happen to be located in German speaking part of Switzerland. And for the LIFE OF ME I can't find any button on any Google associated site that says 'English'. Dang!
2. While i was still handicapped with a language I'm not 'very' familiar with (sans 'Shisse' and 'frichen' which were learnt thanks to Saady and 'ich versteh euich nicht' learnt thanks to Rammestein) my blog HAD to be the choice few they decided to migrate to Google accounts ... even though i admit it makes things a lot easier!
3. I admit i visit my own blog very rarely ... something which I'm trying to fix ... and while I'm trying my best to find my way around the numerous login pages by colors and orientation of web-content ... i find out i don't remember my login OR password!! double dang!

Sufficeth to say that since you are reading this post and it is in English ... I somehow did find my way to the posting grounds of blogs. The entire page is STILL in German and again I'm trying to rely on my memory of colors and orientation to try to post it. But wait before i start playing with the interface let me save this post on my computer! don't want to type all of it again if it goes missing (pun intended) in the Swiss Alps!

P.S. The german equivalent of save as draft is "ALS ENTWURF SPEICHERN" and publish is "VEROFFENTLICHEN". I know because i tried posting it and ended up saving as a draft, then posted it without formatting and this is the third try in which I'm editing ... found the right button the first time, thank God it wasn't delete! and now time to Veroffentlichen! till next time!
