Dani's Journal

Just wanted to wish maggi137 a very (and teeny bit belated *g*) Happy Birthday!!! *hugs* I hope you're having a fantastic time in London! :-)



Also, thank you caesaria and baka_yu for the v-gifts! :D

I had a great time in Hamburg today, btw. :-) I'll make a slightly more detailed entry about it tomorrow...

My father is going to present my mother with tickets for the new Rocky Horror Show tour (which premieres tonight in Cologne) for her birthday and invited me to come along. \o/ Yeah, baby! :D I bloody LOVE the movie so much. <3 But I have never seen the show live before, so I'm quite excited about it! I booked the tickets yesterday for 14 August in Hamburg. I'm really looking forward to it. :-) The theatre (Deutsches Schauspielhaus) looks very posh, too!



Also, thanks for the v-gift, caesaria! I'm looking forward to tomorrow. :D (And am getting a bit nervous already...)

- A Happy Birthday to courtknee!! Hope you had a good day!

- Public holiday today (Whit Monday). Mmmhh. Don't know why I felt like it's Sunday the whole day... I met up with my parents for a little walk and a coffee.

( some random photos from today )

Apparently it's been confirmed that Hawaii Five-0 is renewed for another season. \o/ YAY!!! ♥ *does the happy dance*

Have a mini-picspam to celebrate. :D

( H5-0 FTW )

And a very Happy Birthday to cordeliadelayne!! *hugs*
Hope you're having a wonderful day in Paris! <3

They are showing the first season of Warehouse 13 on German TV at the moment (2 episodes in a row every Wednesday). I started watching it out of curiosity and I must say that I really like it. :-)
The last two aired episodes were "Claudia" (1x04) and "Elements" (1x05). I had missed the pilot episode due to the Hugh Laurie concert, but just watched that one too (Yay for the internet! ;-)). Very enjoyable show with cool characters. :D Will definitely continue watching and probably get the DVDs when they are released over here. 
Oh, and nice to see Joe Flanigan in episode "Elements" btw. <3 Took me a bit by surprise though. *g* When I switched back after commercials and saw him, I thought for a few seconds that I had the wrong channel and was in some SGA rerun or something. *lol* (And yes, I should have noticed then that he wasn't wearing a uniform. :p *gg*)

Also watched the Community season 2 paintball finale. Which was pretty awesome! I especially loved the first part, "A Fistful Of Paintballs". <3 The opening credits sequence was already epic and it had Sawyer Black Rider. *yays* :D But the Star Wars themed "For A Few Paintballs More" was quite cool, too. Abed as Han Solo = ♥

And on an unrelated note I'd like to thank baka_yu for the vgift! *hugs*

Mhh, don't really have anything interesting to talk about lately...
Just a couple of small things:

- I'm currently re-doing my profile page a bit. Adding some banners and stuff, which is kinda fun. :D (If anyone of you knows any comms or journals where I can find some nice "lovebars" of shows/people I've listed, please let me know! I'm having rather some difficulties there...)

- I dreamt of one of my f-listers last night, who, of course, I've never seen in real life (well, I've only met 3 people from my f-list in person so far, so chances were high *gg*)! :D *lol* Might this be a sign that I've been hanging around LJ too much lately? :p *gg* It was only an episode of a longer dream, and while maybe a bit weird I think it was quite pleasant. I actually only remember that I promised to drive this person to the station from where she could take the train home. I also remember seeing some kind of map. Geography was a bit nuts though. *lol* With me being in Germany and her living in England it should have been necessary to cross the English Channel at some point... ;-) But apparently it wasn't because our countries were adjoined in my dream. Hahaha! Like I said, weird. :D

- I'm almost caught up with Hawaii Five-0 now. *yay* Should be able to watch the rest tonight. :-) And then season finale on Monday already! Whoah! Is there any announcement yet if the show will be renewed for another season?? I sure hope it will be!!! *all fingers crossed* Also think I should post another picspam soon. :D

- Happy Birthday, kerry_louise!! Have a good one and enjoy your day! :-)

- I have a few more leftover Hamburg pics from Wednesday I thought I might share as well. *g*
( Click me! )

- I'll be heading to the city later to look for some new clothes. Haven't done that in quite a while and I still have a bit of birthday money to get rid of spend. :D

So, Hugh Laurie concert in Hamburg last night. :D And it was awesome!!! \o/ Not that I expected anything else, of course. *gg* I'm quite bad at writing reports, but I'll give it a go. ;-) *lol*

We met up at about 5 p.m. (we were 6 people) and then went to a Thai restaurant on the Reeperbahn. I have no idea anymore what my dish was called (something with chicken *g*), but it was very yummy. :-) We ate and talked and had a nice time. At about 7.30 p.m. we left the restaurant and went over to the concert's location, the Café Keese. Doors had already opened at 7 p.m. and there was still quite a long queue waiting outside. But we got inside comparatively quick nevertheless.
The Café Keese isn't that big really and it was already very crowded. We made our way to about the middle of the room on the right side and stayed there. The stage was pretty low and frankly we couldn't really see anything. A bit of the microphone at the most, if we were lucky. ;-) *g* And it was really hot!
At 8 p.m. the band came on stage and started playing, and at some point Hugh must've joined them because the crowd started cheering some more. *gg* I didn't really see him at first, but caught some glimpses eventually.
He greeted us with some German sentences. :D Don't remember them exactly, but something along the lines of "Guten Abend" (good evening), "Willkommen..." (welcome) and "Mädchen und Jungen" (girls and boys). He also said then that that was actually all he knew in German. *g* And asked how many of us understood English. :D  

My view actually got much better after about half of the concert and I could see Hugh quite without problems when he was standing at the microphone in the middle of the stage. *yay* I still had some problems when he was sitting at the piano on the left side, but at least I could see most of his head for most of the time then. *lol*

At the end, they got off the stage and when they came back on once more, Hugh said that that was actually all they had but they could just start all over again. *lol* We sure wouldn't have minded. :D They played one more song and then it was over (~ 9.30 p.m.).

I really enjoyed the music (even though I don't normally listen to Blues tbh) and I'm definitely going to buy his album! :-) [BTW, can somebody tell me why the German Amazon lists it twice? Both with different prices and release dates? *is confused*]. I think I liked 3 songs in particular. One of them was "Let them talk". I don't remember the titles of the other ones, so I'll have to try and find them on the CD. *g*

I thought the audience was in a pretty good mood too. :-) Altogether nice atmosphere.
Several people wore House shirts (who'd have thought, right? :p) which I didn't really find that appropriate, but ok... There was also one guy in a complete House outfit. He was standing a bit in front of me during the concert and kept waving his cane around every now and then, and afterwards, when we were still standing outside talking, we saw him "limping by" (seriously!). *lol* IDEK.

In other news:

- Just finished watching last Friday's Graham Norton Show. Guests were David Tennant, Catherine Tate, Josh Groban and Jon Richardson (no idea who he is really *sorry*). It really was very entertaining! I laughed so much!! :D Loved David's stories about the "autograph under the shower" and his spleen with the socks ("David, you crazy?" *lol*).LMAO And I quite liked the song Josh Groban performed. :-)

- Looks like I'll get my new laptop back this weekend. \o/ FINALLY!!!! About bloody time, really! *lol* All in all it's been, um, I don't know... about 5-6 weeks?! *eek*

- Just one more week until Hugh Laurie now! *yay* I'm really getting quite excited. :D Apparently I'm going to meet up with maggi137 and fry_addict before the gig. :-)

A very Happy Birthday to the lovely 87sal87 !!!
All the best for you, hun!!! *hugs*
I hope you're having the most wonderful time in Blackpool!! <3<3
