Bob Geldof @ Kieler Woche 2012

Yesterday I went to see Bob Geldof live at the Kieler Woche (Kiel Week).

I was at the "Rathausbühne" (stage on the town hall square) early enough to get to the 2nd row in front of the stage. *yeah* First there was the official opening of the Kieler Woche at 7.30 pm (first time I've actually been there to see that ceremony...) and after approx. 5 minutes of, let's call it "clearing the stage" and mini soundcheck *g*, the concert started at about 7.45 pm.

And it was fantastic! :-) I must confess that I didn't really know much about "Sir Bob" before this and also only knew maybe 2-3 of his songs... But I had a great time and enjoyed the music. "The Irish can't play football... But we can play music." Haha. :D Yes, you can. He played for 1.5 hours and, best part of it, completely for free. :-)

( Have some photos... )

Oh, and I filmed "I Don't Like Mondays", 'cause I love that song. <3 Am quite pleased at how it turned out, too. :-)

The weather... Well, I'd say it was tolerable. Definitely could have been a lot worse. ;-) It started raining a little right when the concert started, of course... :p But thankfully it was just occassional light rain showers. Only near the end of the concert it started raining continously and didn't stop again, so I arrived home soaking wet after all. *lol* But then it didn't really matter anymore and the evening was totally worth it. :-)

Les Misérables - Official Trailer

Awesome! Can't wait!! <3

EDIT: Mhh, YouTube seems to be deleting the videos right after I post the links and the embedded code on the other site doesn't seem to be working... :-(
You might have to use this link then: 'Les Miserables' movie trailer
It's totally worth it though!! And should I find another working embedding code I'll add it here again.

Tumblr

Just wanted to let you know that I finally gave in and am on Tumblr since yesterday.
I didn't know it was so much fun there! So much pretty!! I'll probably reblog everything I see... *lol* Well, anything I really like at least. :D

Currently my page features The Avengers very heavily (if not almost exclusively *ahem*), coz I'm pretty much obsessed with it and its cast since I saw the film on Monday. <3 Probably won't change anytime soon either, so you have been warned. ;-) But there will be other things as well, I promise. *g*

Here's my link: "So that's what it does"

If you have a Tumblr page as well please point me to it, so I can follow you. :-)

In terms of TV episodes April was alright, I guess. Only watched 2 movies though, and those were both rewatches on TV (mainly because I was bored at the time and too lazy to do something else *lol*), so maybe I can work on that. ;D *g*

Sherlock stuff

Last week I ordered some Sherlock related stuff, a bag and a t-shirt, which I received on Saturday. \o/

The bag instantly became my new standard bag that I use to travel to Hamburg for the training course every day. :D It's awesome!! Pretty decent quality too, it seems.
The shirt at first delivery was a bit too tight unfortunately (even though I checked and compared with their sizetable)... But you can easily send it back to the shop and have it exchanged for another size (you have to pay the postage though if the product value is less than 40€). So today my exchange shirt arrived and it fits now. *yay* Love it! <3 (I'm just glad I chose 2 sizes larger right away, or I would've had the same problem again. *gg*) That was really fast btw. I only sent I off Wednesday and 2 days later it's already here, wow! :-)

Thanks to

maggi137 for mentioning this online shop! *g* They have lots of other cool and nerdy stuff, so I'm sure I'll order something there again. :D

Happy Birthday, Hadley!! - A little video spam

So, it's Hadley's birthday today. <3 He's 32 now, like me. *g*

Good ~~excuse~~ opportunity for me to post a couple of vids. :D I actually thought that I had already posted one of them here, but I looked and apparently I haven't. Hmmm, maybe it was on FB then.

This may well be one of my favourite things in the world. ♥♥ Utterly beautiful song and perfectly sung. <3 I have lost count of how many times I have watched/listened to it (I also have it on my iPod) and I will never get tired of it.

I only found this a couple of days ago. I knew this song from one of John Barrowman's albums and love it. :-)

Another great song. :-) Sadly no video.

I also discovered the other day that a kind person uploaded a few clips of Hadley in "The Fresh Beat Band" episodes. I was really laughing my ass off and still can't get over them. *gg* They are just beyond hilarious. :D *rofl* *lol*
( "What's shaking?" *gg* )

I'm gonna go and (re-)watch the Phantom Of The Opera 25th Anniversary Concert now, to celebrate. <3
I guess I could also watch the movie "The Lost Tribe" again, only it's like, um... terrible? Awful? :p *lol* Phantom definitely is the better choice. ;-) *g* And maybe the student scenes from the Les Mis 25th Anniversary concert afterwards. :D

My username is MagicMoonstone1470. Slytherin, YES!!! \o/

I'd be very happy if you'd add me as friend. :-) (Best to also tell me your name, so I know who you are. ;-) Thx.)

Matt Bomer on Glee

So, Matt Bomer was in the latest Glee episode (3x15 "Big Brother"). Well, I don't usually watch this show * and consequently haven't seen this episode either (yet? Would it even make sense to watch it if I have no idea whatsoever of what's going on?).

But I think this is just really awesome, so I had to share it! <3<3

Have watched/listened to it countless times already and will keep doing so. :-)

* To be more precise, I have actually seen the pilot episode ages ago. But since then I've never really gotten around to watch more episodes. Not quite sure why. Probably not interested in it enough (or at least always more interested in other shows at the time :p) or just the usual "too many shows, too little time" problem or whatever... *shrugs* You know how it is. ;-) Anyway, I have seasons 1 and 2 lying around somewhere so I might just give it another go someday.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you can all enjoy a nice long weekend. :-)

Saw this cute pic on a friend's FB page. <3

I spent Easter at my parent's house. Drove there on Saturday afternoon and just returned home. My grandma was also there, and yesterday we met the rest of the family (well, most of them anyway) at a restaurant for dinner. All in all I had quite a nice time. :-)
The Easter bunny was also very generous to me. *g* Apart from a fair amount of yummy chocolate it brought me this:

<3<3<3
Love the idea of giving me the money in Pound Sterling! And no, I definitely never get even near this much for Easter. ;-) It also already includes some holiday money from my granny. *yay* This will pay nicely for 1-2 musical/theatre visits in London, I'd say. :-)

And last but not least, have a random Jamie pic. :D *lol*

Sometimes it's the little things...

...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. :-)

London calling! <3

On Sunday I booked the flight and hotel for a little London trip in July! Wooo-hoooo!!! \o/
I'm sooo happy and excited about this! ♥♥ It's during the one and only week when we have time off from the training course, and I can't quite think of a better way to relax from all the stress than this. :D I also decided to go alone this time, because that'll make me more independent and free to choose what I'll want to see and do. :-) As a matter of fact, I already created a Word document and started listing things I might be interested in doing there. *gg* Still have a lot of time for collecting ideas though.

Haven't stayed at the hotel before, so I hope it's okay. I don't expect to spend a lot of time in the hotel anyway, so as long as it has some clean bed linen and a relatively clean bathroom I'm quite content. ;-) *g* It's definitely in a good area at least, somewhere between Paddington Station and Hyde Park - like the last times when I stayed in London. :-)

Anyways, that's where I'll be from 14 July (late evening) until 19 July (leaving early in the morning). *squeee* <3
If anyone of you should happen to be around during that time, give me a shout! Maybe we can do a little meet-up. :-)

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.)

What's this fuckery?

I was wondering why it was so quiet around here these last few days... But I just checked a couple of your journals (of people I know that they post more or less daily) and it turns out that apparently I'm just not receiving any notifs anymore since Wednesday. *doh* Fucking great, thanks a lot LJ! With only about 2-3 hours of free time each day during the week I definitely don't have the time to check all my friends' journals individually... *rollseyes*

So I'm very sorry if I miss any important things in your lives or fandoms. :-(

Is anyone else having this problem too or am I the only one? :-( I'm gonna go check now if there's anything wrong with my settings and otherwise just pray that my notifs will come back soon. So annoying!! *glares at lj*

Also, my RDJ CD arrived today. *yay*

In other news: I'm going to start a 9-month further education as "Technical writer" in Hamburg this Friday. Wooo! On the one hand I'm really, really excited about it as it sounds very interesting and good. :-) On the other hand it'll quite probably be the most stressful time of my life so far... O_O Classes are from Monday to Friday, and I will have to get up at about 4.30 a.m. each morning to catch the 6.20 a.m. train to Hamburg. Also I won't be home until 7.15/7.30 p.m. except Fridays when classes end a bit earlier (home around 3.15/3.30 p.m. then)... *blergh* And there aren't gonna be any real holidays either except 1 (!) single week in July and the few public holidays we have this year. :-( *sighs* BUT I hope it'll be all worth it and considerably raise my chances to find a proper job once I'm finished. Wish me luck! ;-)

Looking very much forward to rewatching the movie on the weekend. :-) I actually planned to watch it this evening, but then I finally started playing "The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion" on PS3 today and didn't stop for about 3 hours... xD I guess that means I'm really enjoying it. *gg* Anyway, it's a bit late now to start watching a movie I think, so I'll just watch the rest of the Quatsch Comedy Club anniversary show on TV now.
