Quite - we are only allowed it for an hour a day and it's in the best/guest sitting room.

I just did a mental accounting of my televisions and came up with 8. Six or seven of them almost never get turned on. I think I do most of my viewing on my computer.
I was outside reading an essay about creating lesson plans. It's nice out. 
Then I got distracted by a little Boston Terrier who ran through my backyard. He was cute.
I've been having a crisis regarding my stupid thesis. Apparently I forgot to look through a big chunk of my main source. And I forgot to look through it, because I forgot to print it. It's 500 pages. Of microfilm scans. 
I'm doomed.
Oh.

Oh dear.
Yep.
I'll sleep over it and then figure it all out tomorrow morning. Maybe I can weasel myself out of parts of the horror...
That suuuuuuucks Finck...could you maybe turn them into PDFs and use the "find" button? Sometimes that works.
Ha!

It's all set in
And I'd have to look through it anyway, as I'm not yet knowing what I'm looking for. Well, at least there might be something in there that I haven't seen yet. And that's what I have to make sure.
What is your thesis about/on/regarding/of?
OK here is another idea. These essays may have been reprinted (many are in my experience). You could use Google Scholar and do a search?
I don't know how good Google Scholar is for German though.

It's not essays and there are no reprints. It's a primary source. Newspaper advertisements. From 1848. Noone's ever cared about them apart from me. I'm the first person to be stupid enough to work on them. I'm bloody Neil Armstrong.
But thanks, Curt. It's lovely that you're trying to help me.
I'm a Media Communications graduate myself so you're project sounds pretty interesting to me. Like Zooo asked, what is your thesis? Traveling new ground in your subject matter is exciting! I hope I get to do that some day.
