Dani's Journal

At the moment I'm totally obsessed and in love with White Collar again. ♥
I had watched the first 4 episodes last year, and then somehow put it aside, 'cause so many other shows I was interested in came in the way and I didn't have time for everything... *sighs* So after I finished Season 2 of Castle last week (which was excellent too!! <3), I finally watched the rest of the episodes, finishing yesterday. :-) Such a great show!!

Hence I also changed my computer wallpaper to this:

<3 <3
Can't wait until 13 July, when the new season starts! \o/

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

In other news... the Germany vs. Ghana football game yesterday nearly killed me! My nerves were on edge the whole time! Ghana was really strong, and I didn't think it was the best performance of our boys. We seemed a bit unorganised or something at times... But in the end we won (thanks, Özil!) and are in the round of sixteen! Yay! \o/ After all, it's the result that counts. :D

So, playing against England on Sunday. That's gonna be interesting. *waves at f-list* ;-)

Last night I went to see the MerQury concert at the Kiel Week (Kieler Woche).
It was great, I had such a blast!!! <3 \o/

MerQury are a Queen tribute band, and they really are brilliant.
This was my 7th time to see them live since I first came across them at a carnival party in 2002. I was quite enthusiastic about them right away and have seen them every year at the Kiel Week ever since (they weren't there in 2005 and 2006 though, sadly). :-) 

I arrived at the stage quite early, so I watched them setting up their gear and tuning their instruments and stuff.
They started shortly after 10 p.m. and played for slightly more than 2 hours.
As usual I was standing in the first row, right in front of Volker's (the bass player) microphone. :D
I meant to take only a couple of pictures this time, but ended up with more than 100 again... *lol*

( Beware! LOADS of photos under the cut! )

I also managed to get the guys' autographs after the show. :-)

Just a quick note to show I'm still alive. *lol* ;-) Really haven't been around here much for so long again... *sighs* Hope I'll find the time for some more regular updates again now.

So, what's new? Mhhh...

- Have done some sport this week! Go me!! *lol* Had not gotten any exercise for, um, several years, I guess. *coughs* Always gaining weight and being too lazy to do anything about it... You know how it is. ;-) So, FINALLY I went jogging twice this week, on Thursday and today. Both times for about 50 minutes! \o/ I was really surprised about that, didn't think I'd even last 10 minutes. *lol*  Ok, granted there were 3 short "walking breaks", but strictly speaking they wouldn't have been necessary I guess, or maybe only 1 of them. But we wouldn't want to overdo it the first time now, would we? :-p *gg* Well, actually it felt pretty good and I intend to keep it up at least once or twice a week. :-) Each time getting a bit better I hope.

- Got into contact with an email friend again of whom I hadn't heard for about 7 years! I'm totally happy about it!!! <3
We first got to know each other in a forum while I was spending my 6 months internship in England in 2002. Also met each other in person in London once during that time for a concert, which was great fun. Then sadly in 2003, a while after I had returned back home to Germany, we somehow lost contact... Then some time at the end of last year I sent a short email to her, not really expecting much of it, because after such a long time her mail-address might well have been dead... For a long time nothing happened and I had already forgotten all about it. But then, at the end of April this year, there was a reply! I only found it last weekend though, because it was to one of my email-addresses that I don't really use anymore. I replied right away of course and got an answer back, so yay! Really hope we manage to keep in touch now, but I have a good feeling about it. :-)

- Finally caught up with Doctor Who yesterday. YAY! Still enjoying Matt Smith's Doctor. :-) Loved the episodes "The Time Of Angels" & "Flesh And Stone" and "Amy's Choice". The last two, "The Hungry Earth" & "Cold Blood", were really good too. :-) So tomorrow I'm going to watch today's episode. Looking forward to it!

- Also watched Terry Pratchett's Going Postal. Which was awesome!! LOVED it!! <3 And OMG, I fell in love with Richard Coyle all over again!! *sighs* He was sooo cute in this! ♥♥

The rest of the cast was very good too. :-) Although I'd still have prefered Vetinari (one of my favourite Discworld characters!) to have dark and a little longer hair... ;-)

As today is Mother's Day here, I spent the day with my parents. We had a nice time. :-)
Talked a lot about all kinds of things, drank some coffee, talked some more...
Then in the evening we went to a Pizzeria, where I had Tagliatelle in a cream sauce with salmon. It was most delicious. <3


This was my gift for my mum:



I had some problems trying to take a good photo. *lol* Needless to say it looks a lot better "in real". ;-) And you can't really see the little butterfly and dragonfly clips in the pic, they are pretty cute.
My mum loved it, which makes me very happy. <3
