new moon

Well, well, doing high-cost SMS lottery pays off in the end...

I just won two tickets to the New Moon pre-premiere tomorrow, and I am thrilled to say the least.

Anything involving vampires is great, but add cheesy teenage romance, halfnaked werewulf boys, a little sparkling here and there - I'm totallly in!

Remember this post?

Well, I am pleased to say, I am almost done with my mysterious gifts. So here is a little preview - and a very happy birthday to you, Nana and Sae! *hugs*

So, I *finally* handed in the darn outline for a paper I have to write for one of my courses, one piont less on the do-it-immediately-list.

And I have a plan for the next week. I really like plans, and lists. I have many many lists. Some of which I plan to share here sometime... as soon as I am not so incredibly swamped with work anymore.

But its late, I did enough for today - I think I'll cuddle into bed with a book now.

Have a great start of the week tomorrow!

Life sucks and a concert

  • Oct. 18th, 2009 at 12:10 AM


Lately, my life seems really overwhelming. I feel like I have a "to-do" list, a "would-be-nice-if-it-would-get-done-eventually" list and a "do-it-now-or-else" list. And all of them just seem to keep growing.
I get lost among school, household, sewing, cooking (healthy if possible), keeping up with friends and family, sport, planning for christmas, studying for exams... And sometimes I wonder where I should take the energy from to get all the stuff done.

And the fact that I am really unsure if who I really am, what I want in life and where my priorities lie does not help much. But that's another story...

dio


Then, last Wednesday I went to the DIO concert, even though my head told me that I had a million more important things to do. And it was the right decision because even though I was rather tired the next morning, the experience to see a Japanese band on stage again was... an emotional rollercoaster, really.

I have never seen DIO in my Summer in Japan (did they even exist back then?), but many other visual bands. And just like at the moment, in that summer I was trying to juggle various different things, while feeling kind of lost and alone too.
It took DIO about 5 seconds of the first song to get me back to that summer. All the feelings were back, it was like emotional time travel. I was almost in tears most of the time!
And I that's when I realized how I survived the summer of 2005: I was listening to a lot of music. I used to get so much strength from music, and somehow I must have forgotten lately.

So I really hope to get the chaotic situation inside me under control, one step at a time. And with an awesome playlist in the background...

The top ten would be:

1. Jack Hardy - Fallen
2. Gazette - Cassis
3. Wolfsheim - die Flut
4. Dir en grey - THE FINAL
5. HIM - In Joy and Sorrow
6. Tanzwut - Meer
7. Kagrra, - Haru urara
8. X Japan - Say anything
9. Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7
10. Nightmare - Star[K]night

And any other song by all those Bands really. And Muse. Coldplay. Amaterase. Feindflug. Flyleaf. Gackt. Janne da Arc. Kent. Sonata arctica. And others.

Have a wonderful sunday!

Golden Curls

  • Aug. 19th, 2009 at 4:01 PM

I seem to have a thing for guys with the same hair as me.
Some time ago it was Mika, who I still fancy (he is so colourful and bubbly and glittery!), and now it just happened again:

dune-rei?

Thats the lead singer of dune (if you didn't know) and I just saw the video on MTV. The music is cool and all, but look at his curls... angelic. I just want to run my fingers through that hair all day. (Of course, it will be satiny and shiny with no knots at all, unlike my own hair)

dune-all

But after a second glance - am I the only one who thinks this guy looks a little like Rei? You all know who I mean, THE Rei, "visual kei" Rei?

If so, I don't like him so much anymore, thankyouverymuch. Even with the curls.

Let's rant

  • Aug. 16th, 2009 at 11:22 PM

HRMPF. That says it all really.

hrmpf

Life is generally good, no worries, but so many little things just piss me off right now...

Starting with the fact that I can't sleep. yet again.

We have laundry tomorrow and Thursday. Which technically means that I can wash my clothes and stuff from 18:00 today until 18:00 thurstday, not before 7:00 in the morning and not after 21:30. For us, as we are both working and usually leave before 7:00, that always means stress and a few half dried items of clothing lying around in the flat. But this time it's even better: the power is off the whole weekend - only for the washing machine. when am I supposed to do my laundry? I can't take a day off every time! Geez, just let me wash! This system sucks. Me no likey.

I ate way too much today. I think my lifestyle burns a total of 17 calories a day, and every brownie I eat travels instantly to my thighs and belly. I love baking, and eating what I made, so that doesn't help... and I ate a lot of brownies today. I dread the scale tomorrow.

I started to go to step aerobics last week. I like it (as much as you can like exhausting sports... yeah), but of course it makes me sweat. And it looks like I am kind of allergic to my own sweat. Lovelly. As if I didn't have enough reasons to skip sports.

Maybe TMI but... my sex drive is at an all time low. If anyone knows how to resurrect it, tell me.

I really want to sleep. I am tired, but strangely tense at the same time. Just can't seem to relax.



Well, I'm gonna get myself a nice cup of tea and the off to bed (again).

Have a good start of the week, enjoy the warm weather if you can!

Summer days

Hello my lovlies

I hope you enjoy summer as much as I do! Between soaking up sun (in small doses.. I don't want to get burnt!), finishing projects for school, working, nesting, cooking, sports, family visits, I almost never use the computer. I can't believe that my mails go unchecked for several days! (not that I would recieve anything important at the moment... but still!)

and after a month of silence, I have a finally finished project to show: my self-knitted cardigan!

jacke02

It took ages to do, but now I can finally wear it, all in time for autumn ^^

I have a few other autumn projects up my sleeve, but theey are still in the planning and sketching stage.

and, of course, I have been baking. Summer doesn't seem like the perfect time for cookies, they always look christmas-y somehow, but I found the perfect solution on some blog (that Iwould like to credit, but can't remember, argh!): Watermelon cookies.

melon cookies vorher

they don't taste like watermelons, I just used regular Mailänderli-dough, the magic is all in the food coloring and assembly. I used about half the dough for the inner red part, then one fourth for the white and green. Form the red to a cylinder, roll out white, put it around the red cylinder, roll out the green, put it around the white part, freeze well, cut with a sharp knife, use chocolate chips as seeds, bake and voila:

melon cookies nachher

these sure were a big hit on the 1st of august party!

enjoy the weekend!

Ah summer...

- and go there:

I'm at work, trying to get my power point presentation for Friday to look like I actually work a lot. Now while the slides are in English, I will give the speech in German. And I just almost wrote the wore "oftheit" in my notes. As in wie oft etwas vorkommt.

I soooo need summer vacation.

what do you do to get your concentration /native language skills back?

And on a side note: why is there no "procastrinating" in the mood thingie? I mean it's not really an action, right?
