...that make you happy.

Good thing no. 1 & 2:

Yesterday I met up with

fry_addict in Hamburg. :-) Our third encounter. *g*
We went to Starbucks where we had a nice cup of coffee and, sitting in comfy armchairs at the window, chatted mainly about musicals/theatre, London/travelling and some fandoms. I had a very nice time. :-) Definitely would like to do this again sometime! Maybe in late spring when there's a chance of sitting outside in the sun or taking a nice walk? :-)

And this is what she brought me from her last London trip:

Autographs from Hadley Fraser and Ramin Karimloo. <3<3 *squeeeee* So. Much. Love!!!
Thank you so, so much for this, dear!! :-) *big hug* You can't imagine how happy this makes me. <3

Have found a good place for it now, too. :-)

BTW, did I already mention that, as I will be in London in mid-July, OF COURSE Hadley is leaving Les Mis in June... *facepalm* *cries* Sometimes I really think God hates me and doesn't want me to see my favourite people live on stage. :p FML. *lol*
Please, let's just all pray that at least I will be able to get a Sweeney Todd ticket and Michael Ball is actually playing then!! Pretty please? Thanks. :D

Good thing no. 3:

My parents picked up my "Game Of Thrones" BD box from the post office for me today. \o/ *yay*

The box looks really great! <3 Beautiful digipak with a little booklet that includes an episode guide, main characters overview, a map and a list of special features. And the bonus "photo book" is quite nice too (although nothing you would absolutely necessarily need I guess).
As I finished reading the first ASOIAF book last weekend I can finally start watching the TV series. \o/ (Yep, have not seen anything of it until now, although I would've had the opportunity to. Shame on me. :p) Sooo looking forward to it!!! *yeah* Starting later this evening with episode 1. :-)

Current Mood: happy

First of all, and I'm sorry I'm so late with this...
Thank you so much,

fry_addict, for the v-gift and the birthday greetings!! <3
Also thanks to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday in their journal or on Facebook. :-)
----------------------------------------

Didn't have to work today for a change, so I went on a shopping spree through the city. :D
This is what I came home with: 2 pairs of jeans, 3 sweaters and 1 blouse.
Not bad! And except for the blue jeans they were all reduced in price by 20% too. :-) I'm very pleased with them and I really, really needed some new things. On the other hand, all my birthday is now already gone again... *boo-hoo*

----------------------------------------

Yesterday I kinda out of the blue decided that it was finally time to continue watching Battlestar Galactica. :D I mean, it's only been nearly 2 years since I watched the miniseries and season 1, so it's not that late is it...? :p *lol*
I watched the first 2 episodes of season 2 yesterday evening, and still think the show's awesome. <3 More episodes will follow this evening and tomorrow, hopefully. Only 58 episodes and 2 movies to go. ;-) *lol*
----------------------------------------

Oh, and I've joined Goodreads.com today. So if anyone of you is there as well and wants to be friends, let me know. :-) Still have to find my way around there a bit, though. *g*

AND I finally have a internet flatrate for my phone now. \o/ Yeah, baby! So I'll probably be a bit more active on Twitter and Facebook from now on. :D (Add me there too if you haven't already, please.)

Current Mood: good

And another month is already over again... Unbelievable how fast time flies, isn't it?
So here we go again. ;-)

Current Mood: okay

I read this tweet from Robert earlier, but didn't quite know what to make of it...

So, I just finished watching the latest The Big Bang Theory episode, "The Friendship Contraction". (Nothing really to do with this tweet though btw, would've watched it today anyway. ;-) *g*)
Sheldon offered Leonard his "all 61 episodes of the BBC series Red Dwarf" DVD set (among other things) if Leonard'd be willing to reinstate the roommate agreement. :D *lol*

Aww, Sheldon, I probably would've gone for it. ;D *gg* I LOVE Red Dwarf! <3<3

One small question though... Where the hell did he get 61 RD episodes?!? (And he definitely said that, I double-checked.) Only 55 (!) episodes have aired so far... xD ;-) Ah well, he probably used the time machine they bought in an earlier episode, travelled into the future and brought back the 6 new RD episodes that are currently being filmed, right? :p *lol*

Oh, and my Sherlock blu-ray box was shipped today. \o/ *yay* Looks like I'll finally get to watch series 2 soon then. ♥

Current Mood: bored

Wow, haven't updated in ages it seems... :-( Mainly because I don't have much to say (nothing new there *lol*), but also because this time of year is always quite busy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A big thanks to

spirited_lizard! I received your card today. :-) It's really cute plus I love the mini!advent calendar. <3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm gonna spend New Year's this year with my friend in Berlin again! *squee* It didn't happen last year (sadly), so I'm very happy about it. \o/ I'll be away from 27 Dec until 3 Jan. :-) My aunt + uncle are taking me along to Berlin in their car as they are going to see a musical there, and then I'll get home by train next year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lots of new stuff was being had in the last couple of weeks. :D

I'm lovin' Professor Layton (the series is actually one of my favourite for NDS!) and Mario Kart 7 (had never played a game of the series before. So. much. FUN!!! :D)! <3 Haven't had a go at Kingdom Hearts: Recoded and the Runaway game yet though...

Love him. And finally found this DVD for a good bargain price. :-)

<3<3<3

And some presents I got for St. Nicholas' Day:

Yay!!! :D

Reindeer "Jingle" <3

chocolate! *yummy*

Also got 3 dishcloths and a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream <3.
So all in all a pretty good haul for the occasion. ;-) We usually only give each other a trifle...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In TV news: I'm finally all caught up with Primeval. \o/ About bloody time too I'd say. *lol* Also watched the Warehouse 13 Christmas Special yesterday (which was good!), so I'm all up-to-date with that that too, as well as with The Big Bang Theory and Community. I'm afraid I'm way behind with everything else though... O_O *ahem*
Next goal is to catch up with Doctor Who series 6 before the Christmas Special. :D I've got 7 episodes left and 11 days, so it should be doable. *g* ;-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And last but not least: This is the last call to everyone who still wants a Christmas card from me. If you let me have your address until tomorrow afternoon at the latest you'll still get a card from me. :-) Then everything will be send off! ;-)

Current Mood: okay

- So, yesterday it was time for our visit to the Rocky Horror Show in Hamburg. And it was just So. Much. Fun!!! :D The audience participation was just awesome! During the rain scene I actually thought that they had set of the sprinkler system (or maybe they had, who knows *g*), because it felt even more wet than the rain outside. *lol* The toilet paper and confetti throwing was great too. *gg* And I think everybody was on their feet during "Time Warp". :-)

I had hoped to see Rob Fowler as Frank 'N' Furter, but sadly he wasn't playing (apparently he had just been on holiday) and we had his cover, Matthew McKenna, instead. But Matthew was really great (and quite cute *ahem*)! As a matter of fact, the whole cast was very good. :-)

I felt a bit sorry for Sky Du Mont, who was the narrator, though. There were a couple of ~~idiots~~ people who yelled things like "Boring!" and "Get lost!" everytime he got on stage to do his thing... Ok, it probably really isn't the most interesting part of the show, but the narrator is still part of the show and movie - so get over it! But I don't think Sky was bothered too much by it anyway and he also had one or two good repartees ("You only have to listen to it once, but I have to do this every day." *gg*). ;-)

The Deutsches Schauspielhaus is really beautiful, btw. :-)
( some theatre pics )

- It was back to school today. Six weeks of holiday just isn't long enough, is it? :p I really had to force myself out of bed this morning. *sighs* But the first day wasn't actually that bad.

- I should finish season 2 of Warehouse 13 tonight (I only have episode 2x12 and the Christmas one left). *yeah* And then I can start catching up on season 3. :D I'm really very much in love with the show by now. <3

- It's my cat's 1st birthday in exactly one week. \o/ Just sayin'.

Current Mood: good

Well, LJ finally seems to be back to normal. Hooray!! \o/

I was gonna post some more photos from during our living room renovation last week, but LJ was still quite a bit wonky at the time so I didn't... And now there's no need to anymore as the room's more or less finished (apart from a few little things like skirting boards). ;-) Also, the photo wallpaper thingy finally arrived yesterday. *yay* So as soon as we'll have that on the wall I'll take some pictures to show you. :-)

Bought some more My Blue Nose Friends stuff lately. <3 Guess I'm officially obsessed with them now. *lol*
But I can't help it, they are just too cute!!
( N'awww )
Also bought another plushie on Ebay, but it's from an UK seller so it might take a couple of days longer to arrive.
Luckily I'm all out of money now, so I can't buy any more for a while... ;-) *gg*

I'm about to finish my Warehouse 13 Season 1 DVDs this evening. Just 2 more episodes to go. I really like this show a lot. :-) It's so much fun and I think I actually like all the characters (so far).
Oh, and I might have squeed a little at the sight of Mark Sheppard in episode 10, because I had totally forgotten that he was a guest star in the show. *gg* Definitely looking forward to seeing more of him in the next season. *yeah*
I'd really like to have a few Warehouse 13 icons, but I don't have any free icon space left at the moment. *boohoo* Guess I'll have to delete some old icons I don't use that often anymore eventually... *sighs* ;-)

Current Mood: good

For those of you who don't already know, I just love cute but otherwise rather useless things. :D
Something that falls into that category are "My Blue Nose Friends". They are just adorable. <3
Unfortunately they are a bit expensive and there aren't nearly as many available here as I saw in London, but I'm trying to build up a little collection nevertheless.

This is what I have so far.

( click me! )

Right, and now I'm off to watch the last 3 episodes of Grandma's House. It's not bad; some really good lines there. Simon's cute in it anyway. ;D And according to Wikipedia a second series has been commissioned, so yay!

After that I'll probably watch the latest White Collar episode or Primeval (I'm 3 episodes behind atm). Or both if I have the time. *g*

Current Mood: good

Just watched the latest White Collar episode, "On Guard"... And am majorly heartbroken! :'-(
WTF is going on?? Why do my shows hate me this much all of a sudden? First H5-0, now you too, White Collar... Thanks a bunch. Please, please FIX THIS!!!

I'm off now to watch some Never Mind The Buzzcocks to try and cheer me up a little again... *sobs*

Current Mood: crushed

Current Mood: crushed

Finally saw the Hawaii Five-0 finale just now. And all I'm actually able to say at this point is... OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD!!!! I. Don't. Even... So much happening! And not much of it on a positive side for the team... What a mess! OMG!! O_O Show, why are you doing this to me?!? I think waiting for season 2 will kill me!! AHHH!

In other news: I think my neck is slightly better. Still not back to normal, but I can move my head around a bit more freely again. So yay! I guess. *lol* I hope it keeps improving.

Current Mood: blank

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*

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

Current Mood: okay

Current Mood: okay

Ok, I'm actually getting quite obsessed with Hawaii Five-0. ♥ I love this show!!
Remember that I said in my last post that I wanted 1 or 2 icons? Well, I've uploaded 7 so far! :p And I only stopped uploading even more (because there are lots more that I'd like!), because I'm running really low on free icon space now and I really should save the rest for things to come...

So, I decided to post a little picspam. \o/
Probably not dial-up friendly. Might include some fangirling. You have been warned! :D

( Book 'em, Danno! )
