I just came back from taking a nice walk. When I came home from work I got the sudden urge to do that, when I saw the gorgeous starry nightsky. So I checked the area via google earth to see if I can find some nice paths. And I found one too. I walked in the total dark and it was just wonderful. Quite cold but still. I really enjoyed it and think I will do this more often.
I FINALLY upgraded to 2.0.5! I know I’m kinda late, but hey, better late than never.
In addition to the upgrade I just uploaded a new layout for the site! Been a year since the last new one, and that one wasn’t even made by me.
So I wanted to have some wintery theme, preferrably with a vector graphic. I found the one above at iStockPhoto and really really liked it. So that’s the one I picked. Hope you all like it. 🙂
So I just realized that TinyQ&A seemed to have stopped working. Asked question didn’t get entered into the database, so I couldn’t answer them. However I have these questions in the notification mails, so I will re-ask them for you to read. 🙂
If you want to, please ask me a question (or more) here!
I just came home from seeing this movie and I have to say that it isn’t at all as I have expected it to be.
I’ve read several critics that tore the movie apart. Not having read the book (Yet! Definitely gonna do that now) I thought it wouldn’t be as bad as they made it to be. Even though I don’t agree with the points those critics made I can’t say that I enjoyed the movie. They said that the movie makes you feel sorry for Jean Baptiste Grenouille, but seriously it didn’t. It didn’t spark any emotions at all. The only time I was a bit touched was when he actually gets Laura. Not knowing the story I hoped that wouldn’t happen, but then again, it does make sense.
Well, I will read the book in hopes of getting the emotions I expected in the movie.
I just finished uploading the new layout for my book list. Looks all nice now, don’t you think? ^_^
My aunt is visiting this weekend, so I will keep this post short, she just went to her RV for a few minutes to change clothes.
I keep telling myself that I’d write in here more often, but somehow I never do. And I don’t really write much in my LJ either, mainly random stuff, more serious posts are quite rare.
Well, I can guess I can write a bit about my new life, don’t you think?
Moving wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Living alone is quite nice actually. Though, admittedly, I’m not alone anymore. Just a few weeks ago I got these two sweethearts from a shelter. Max and Lilli are brother and sister and about 14 weeks old. They keep me very busy by running all around the flat like maniacs, but when they calm down they are so cute. The like to cuddle up on my stomach, and keep purring like crazy. Gotta love them!
My new flat is wonderful too, while you’re looking at pictures, you can take a look at the flat, too. Isn’t it nice? My personal favorites are the gallery in the living room and the walk-in closet in my bedroom. Lots of space for clothes and shoes. What more could a girl dream of? 😉
Work is great, too. They put me on a project just a few days after I started there and I’m so glad they did. I met some very nice people. The department I’m sitting in (mainly for projects) has very nice people, it was very easy for me to make friends. Just a little over a week ago I had a girls-only evening at my place with two of my colleagues. It was very fun and I’m sure we’ll do it again soon. Only bad thing about it was the headache I had the next morning. :p
I really thought I’d miss home lots more than I actually do. But then again, it was about time I moved out from home, don’t you think? 😉 It’s not like I had to leave many friends behind, I had grown apart from most of them anyway, by having led completely different lives. And well, the select few I’m still friends with, I will keep in close contact with them.
Don’t really know what else to write right now. There’s nothing more to tell. Well, of course there is, but that’s more private and will go into my Livejournal. :p
I just uploaded a list of my owned books. You can find it here. Generated it with a script, and still have to figure out how to sort it. It should be sorted by authors, but somehow it all doesn’t look right. I’ll try to change all the authors to Last Name, First Name. Maybe that works. 🙂
This is only a list of all my English books. Didn’t add my German books. And yes, some of these are a bit old, I don’t think I’ve touched the Leonardo DiCaprio book in years. 😉 But I own it, so I added it to the list.
I should also add that I will add a nice layout to the page as soon as I have time to figure out how.
Had my last exam today, so now I’m a full blown travel agent. I should be really happy about it, but for some reason I’m not. I mean it’s great and all, but it also means goodbye. On Saturday I will be out of here. And I will leave behind some new friends that I will really miss. It’s quite sad. I will try to stay in contact with them, but you know how it goes. Contact will get rare and finally fade away…
So this is actually a combination of two musicals. Mamma Mia! and Elisabeth. I saw Mamma Mia! last night with my mom, for the first time in German. I’ve seen it in NYC last summer, and can say that the shows are identical, same set, even the actors look very similar. Well, at least the German Sam looked a lot like the US Sam. It doesn’t really matter that the songs are in German, even though I know them in English by heart. It always amazes me, that the creators were able to base a whole story on the songs of ABBA, everything fits together perfectly. So yes, it was awesome, and my mom loved it lots, too!
And tonight….will be my last time seeing Olegg on stage as Death. The musical will run out in September, they will start performing The Three Musketeers after that. I just checked Olegg’s website and they confirmed that he will be performing tonight. YAY! And I will be sitting where? First row! Almost exactly in the center! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I’m so excited! So it’s not the first time I see it from the first row, but I’m still excited. So close to the sexiness that is Olegg. ^_^ Squeeeeeeeeeee!
I got my school grade report today and I’m absolutely speechless. I’m second best in my class. Not only did I get a certificate for outstanding achievements, but I also got a gift coupon worth 12 Euro for a book of my choice. Only two people in my class got that. I’m so happy, this is just amazing. Through the final exams I was actually able to up my accounting grade to a 1 (equals an A). My average is 1.4 in all exam subjects. 1.3 with everything altogether.
Now there’s only the final oral exam on Wednesday next week, but I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I passed! There’s nothing that can go wrong. I need 30 points which equals a 5.5 and that’s nothing. I will be much better than that.
*dances all over the place* I’m so happy!
