So after a seemingly long time of absolutely no new interesting TV shows coming up, quite a couple of them – or at least information about their existence – made it across the Atlantic Ocean *laughs* And at least five of them peeked my interest. Three I can follow on TV…one I got sent over on DVD (at least the first season) from a friend in New Zealand…and one I follow online. They are all quite different…and I decided to put them in an order…to form my personal TOP 5 ^^

Read more... )

I just felt like writing this down and it’s open for discussion…though I probably bored you guys to death *lol* I keep hoping that German TV does not mess around with those shows…like they did with “Supernatural” for example. I loved that show, too…but they have us waiting for Season 3 for over a year now. What the hell?? “Battlestar Galactica” (best SciFi show EVER!) and “ALIAS” got aired in the middle of the night on Wednesday and they complained about bad audience rates! Well…duh! The working population cannot stay up until 1 am in the middle of the week when they need to get up for work at 5 am! They rushed through “The Tudors” by showing three episodes in a row on Saturdays at primetime…during the European Soccer Championship! Not very smart! Of course they had bad audience rates! Result: we never got to see Season 2 and 3 so far (that’s the moments when I am overly thankful for the possibility to import DVDs from other countries *g*). *sighs* So I really really hope that the program directors are smarter with the shows mentioned above.

Anyhoodles…I wish you all a grand rest of the weekend *hugs flist*

Current Music: "October and April" by The Rasmus feat. A. Olzon
Germany is in shock and mourning. Soccer crazy as our whole nation is, we are all shocked by the suicide of the goalie of our National Soccer Team :-( Robert was only 32 years old and leaves behind a young widow and an 8 months-old daughter. The next match of our team which was supposed to take place on Saturday (against Chile) was cancelled. Thousands of people are currently participating in a funeral march through the city of his Bundesliga team Hannover 96...and the soccer arena is surrounded by countless candles. The team manager of Hannover 96 has also announced that the goalie jersey with the "1" on its back will never be given to a player again. Whoever will be the new goalie will get another number.

This sad and unexpected drama is dominating the news today and it is just unbelievable that this popular and successful sportsman let himself be run over by a bullet-train last night. What is slowly coming to surface is that apparently, he was highly depressive (supposedly aftermaths of the death of his first 3-year-old daughter 6 years ago) but kept this a secret from literally everyone. He did, however, see a doctor as we now know...but refused inpatient treatment. Now he's dead...and the only 'good' thing about this is that all for sudden everyone is making sure to report about the necessary awareness of depression as a serious disease.

All the best and strength to Robert's widow Teresa and his little daughter Leila...

I managed to get my hands on two of the last 10 tickets available for the nearest show of EXCALIBUR - THE CELTIC ROCK OPERA!!! *dances* I already wanted to see the show at its premiere at the Kaltenberg Festival (that is Europe's biggest medieval festival, which lasts 3 days and includes numerous concerts and a HUGE jousting tournament *lol*) but...did not happen. Meh! Now I found out that they will do a tour with the show...a small one, but who cares *laughs* There will be one show not too far away from my town...and I ordered the tickets today *g*

So after BenHur LIVE in November this year, I'll get to see EXCALIBUR in January 2010...here's a small preview:

Your life as a romantic comedy! Recasting your life!
This is a mega-meme: it's the union between a PICSPAM and a FANMIX. IT'S YOUR LIFE, BB!

- You have to choose the actors who will play:
~ Yourself alias the main character
~ The true love
~ The "mistake"
~ The true love's best friend
~ The rival
~ Mom
~ Dad
~ Sister/brother (or both)
~ The Best Friend
~ The Best Gay Friend
~ The pet
~ The city

- And now you have to choose YOUR PERSONAL SOUNDTRACK, of course:
~ Opening credits
~ Falling in love
~ The Kiss
~ Sex
~ The break up
~ The psychological breakdown
~ Shopping with friends
~ The getting back together
~ End Credits

Well, this was fun *laughs* Even though I had a hard time deciding...especially on the songs. Since this is supposed to be a romantic comedy, I had to refrain from using the music I mostly listen to which just doesn't fit that movie genre *lol* But I do like the songs I picked in the end :) And the cast of course^^ Gotta love memes *g*

I cannot believe it is actually 20 years ago since our country was re-united! The Wall is officially gone...but it still exists in some people's heads. I guess that will never change; well, probably once no one actually having been around with the Wall still standing is alive anymore...which is a long way to go *laughs*

Like most things, the reunion of the country has a good and a bad side...but I think all in all, it has been the right thing to do :)

And just in time for this national holiday, we had elections last weekend...which resulted in a new government. I am not sure yet if this new coalition is going to be better than the old one...but I will give it a chance. And if nothing else, it proves just how liberal Germany is. Not only do we have the politically most powerful woman in the world as head of the country...no, her new representative and vice-chancellor is gay...and he deals openly with it, which I think is awesome ^^

Germany, you rock! *g*

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I’m back in good old Germany…which means I successfully survived my trip to New York City *laughs* Now this might not sound that positive…but it is mainly referring to me having travelled to NYC with a nasty cold to begin with. And flying in a plane with a cold is so not recommendable! Start and landing were pretty painful since I could not deal with the change of cabin-pressure properly. Meh.

Anyway…even though I was THAT close to cancelling the whole trip due to the bad cold, I did go in the end to at least giving it a try. We arrived at JFK airport and took a cab to get to our hotel. Good Lord, we seriously risked our lives by doing that *lol* The driver was crazy and managed to actually make us feel somewhat sick with his driving-style. BUT…we eventually got to our small hotel, which was located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan…in a quite exclusive neighbourhood as we learned later on…since people like Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas, Bono, Demi Moore, Barbara Streisand and Macauly Culkin live in the same block *g* Well, at least they have apartments there ^^ Just too bad we did not run into any of them *sighs*

The business trip itself led me, my boss and two colleagues to the city of Szeged, which is the second biggest city of the country...and pretty one of that. I did not have much leisure time, but I did manage to snap a few pictures:

Well...from all TV and movie vampires I've seen so far, this is DEFINITELY the best result to get for me *lol* Damon is wonderfully...grrrr... ^^ Love him in the "Vampire Diaries" books...and loved him in the TV show pilot, too. He makes a grand addition to Vishous from the BDB *gg*

And I think compared to New York, even that is a rather small city *g* Anyway...I am determined to have a grand time in the "Big Apple". What do we have so far:

- Flight tickets (direct flight)-> check
- ESTA formular filled out -> check
- Hotel room in a hotel at the Upper West Side -> check
- New York Pass and CityGuide -> check
- Tickets for an All Loops (Uptown Loop, Downtown Loop & Brooklyn) Hop-on, Hop-off bus tour -> check
- Tickets for the Woodbury Common Outlet Shopping Tour -> check
- Comfy shoes!!! -> check (I hope so at least *g*)
- a nice, good-looking New York guy -> ...err...kidding...well, or a work in progress *lol*

*g* So yeah...two more weeks to go *laughs* But only one more week to go before my jetset-weeks start because before I go to New York, I'll go on a business trip to Szeged in Hungary *g*

What else? Oh yeah...CONGRATULATIONS to the German Soccer ladies!! We are European Champions...again *laughs* We won the European Championship for the 5th time in a row and kicked England's a** 6:2 last night ^^ That makes the ladies European Championws, World Champions AND Olympic Champions *g* We are so proud *nods*

Current Music: "Fallen" by 30 Seconds To Mars
This was posted on the official BDB Board at Vishous' Villa as "Quote of the Day" *laughs* and I totally love it! I just had to share *g*

This quote is out of the Insider's Guide and the Deleted Scenes section, but I think it is really funny. It includes, John (pre-trans), Butch (idiot as always), and V (wonderful goatee & all). Main thing talking about JM getting a tattoo. And V giving his advice about that. Oh, and one other special thing is how V’s eyes are described here. (((his eyes were the diamond white of a husky’s, the rims around the irises superblue))) I think I just might pass out. I think everyone will love it too. John is in awe of V and who can blame him. V is totally awesome!
(this was wardbdb's intro...and it's perfect! *lol* We all agree...don't we, [info]isabel77?)

Insider’s Guide, Pgs. 250-251

“Your trying to corrupt a youth there, cop?”

John looked to the doorway. A huge man with a goatee and tattoos on his face stood in the threshold. He had on a set of leathers and a black T-shirt and a glove on one hand, and his eyes were the diamond white of a husky’s, the rims around the irises superblue.
Staring at him, one word came to John’s mind: Einstein. The guy just oozed IQ — it was the eyes, those penetrating, icy eyes.

“This is my roommate, Vishous. V, meet John.”
“What’s doing? I’ve heard a lot about you.” The guy offered his palm and John took it.
“And as for the tat,” Butch said, “he’s of age. Right? Twenty-something.”
“He should wait.” V turned to John and started signing. Perfectly. If you get one done before your transition by a human, it’s going to distort when you go through the change. Then it’s going to fade in a month or two. If you wait, though, I’ll ink whatever you want into you, and I’ll do it so it stays.

John could only blink. Then he dropped his duffel and signed, Wow. Are you deaf?

Nope, heard from my man Tohr this is how you communicate, so I taught it to myself the other night. Figured we’d run into each other sooner or later.

As if learning an entire language took no notable effort.

“Hey, I’m feeling left out over here.”
“Just giving the man a little advice.”
John whistled to get V’s attention. Will you ask Butch what he’s going to get for a tattoo?
“Good question. Cop, what’re you getting done tonight, man? Tweety Bird on you’re a&&?”

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~


*sighs* V teaching himself ASL in one night. Gotta love a man...vampire...with brains *lol* Reading this made my otherwise rather miserable day (work of course *rolls eyes*) so much better again! I is so easy to please ;-P (and yes, still obsessing over the BDB books...especially my precious V *bats eyelashes*)

I hope, all my dear North American friends here have/had a grand Labor Day! Wish all of you on my flist a grand week *hugs flist*

You are an ideal Brotherhood shellan.

Although you don't like to be violent and it bothers you that your male has to risk his life, you support him and help him however you can. You give him the gentleness that he has never had before, and he adores you for it.

Quiz: Would you be in the Black Dagger Brotherhood

Hah! *lol* Well, either that...or I team up with Payne and kick some a** myself ^^ I'm sure my 'designated' hellren V wouldn't mind *gg* His sister and his shellan joining the battle could be interesting ;-P
Gosh, I love those books!! I have even ordered my first audiobook EVER! 19 CDs to go *g* "Lover Avenged" of the BDB series...uncut and in original (= English) version. YAY! I'll read the book afterwards nevertheless though ^^

P.S.: Yes, I am seriously obsessed with the BDB...and yes, I am a 'Vaddict' (means: addicted to Vishous) *sighs and hangs head* ;-P

Oh, that's a tough one. There's several songs I tend to listen to over and over again...especially when writing (a RP post or fanfic)...I guess the TOP 5 are

1) "My Immortal (Band Version)" - Evanescence
2) "Hysteria" - Muse
3) "Chasing Cars" - Snow Patrol
4) "Vampire" - Xandria
5) "Broken" - Seether feat. Amy Lee

*scratches chin* Yeah...those definitely belong to my 'most played'...though I tend to have some movie score playing, too... ^^

The past week was pretty rough...at work at least since the boss' mood is a rollercoaster at its best and if he doesn't decide very soon about staying or leaving, I'll go mad *laughs* His negotiations with several parties have been going on for almost a year now, which is so NOT helpful for the general atmosphere at the hospital. The so far unsecure future has everyone nervous...

Personally, I keep my sanity by escaping into my beloved "Black Dagger Brotherhood" books again and therewith by obsessing over Vishous *g* Obsessing enough over my favourite vampire to even pair him up with my own vamp creation Laila...at least in a wallpaper made in the middle of the night *lol*

This plus the urgent need to get rid of quite some tension when out of the office (as well as having some distraction while stuck in seemingly endless traffic-jams *grumps*) have led to my personal playlist of the week because for me, there is no better way to loosen up again than listening to some good music while driving home *g* Loud music I might add *laughs* And this playlist has worked really really well lately:

You completed the FACEBOOK quiz "Which Black Dagger Brotherhood Brother is your mate?" with the result Vishous.

Vishous is your man! He is the diamond in the rough, literally. His piercing diamond eyes will pierce you and know what you're thinking - but only if you want him to. He loves how your mind works, and will love you for the intelligence you have. He may be into hardcore sex, but he will treat you with gentle care, and think you're a blessing in disguise. You will love him for his intellect and his quick wit and his willingness to put others above himself. Just watch out for his mommy issues!


*broadest grin ever* Revised version or not...the result is still the same! Sorry, Jane *lol* I is very happy with this result because V is my all-time favourite Brother (followed by Rhage, I admit that much *lol*) and I would happily move in with him (and Butch of course ^^) into the 'Pit'...anytime *wiggles eyebrows* Gotta love this nerd with fangs *laughs*

Last week had such moments/ things... And they freaked the hell out of me. The first one was having to work at 100°F in an office with NO air conditioning... Gods, that was so bad. At least my boss was kind enough to release me from work an hour earlier that day *snorts* That did not help THAT much since my apartment does not have A/C either...and I live under the roof *blank face* Maybe I should have spent all day in my car...because that is the only place available for me WITH air conditioning *laughs*

So, no...Thursday was not my favourite day of the week.

But the night of Thursday to Friday was no better. I had dared to leave the roof-light of my sleeping-room a wee bit open...and at about midnight, I suddenly had something hard and cold sitting on my face *grimaces* I brushed it off in my sleep, got out of bed, switched the light on...

...and saw an about 3 inches long (that's roughly 8 cm) Giant Grasshopper sitting on my pillow.

...

I am so no friend of insects as it is...and insects THAT big are a huge no-go. Especially when they sit on my face! What followed was a mild panic attack with some hyperventilation *sighs* Then I shut the door and spent the reminder of the night in my living-room.

Yes, I am a chicken like that! *laughs*

I called my Mum later and told her about my 'guest'...and when I got home from work, we came up with a self-made brailer and hunted the Giant Grasshopper down because there was no way I would have spent any night in that room knowing the thing is still in there. I have never seen a grasshopper THAT big before and will never understand how it found its way into the room...but luckily, it's gone now. Sitting somewhere outside...far far away from any of my windows. However, had that grasshopper been a spider, I would have passed out *laughs* Spiders are even worse than insects *shudders* And my Mum was my hero of the day *g*

Well, weather's still hot here which means, I am definitely not looking forward to working in an overheated office again. I shall distract myself by planning my New York trip in detail. We are about to purchase a City Pass AND... - here comes the droolworthy part - we will hit a theatre at the Broadway, seeing "A Steady Rain"...starring none less than Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman! *ggggg* Now how does THAT sound? ^^
