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

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! ;-)

Stolen from fry_addict. ;-)

Mhh, I'm pretty sure I actually did this meme before, or at least a very similar one. But nevermind. :p

First of all, a happy belated birthday to cherish4!! I hope a had a nice day! :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Saturday I went to see Dieter Nuhr again. \o/ Totally can't believe it had already been more than a year since the last time... Where did that year go?!? o_o
Anyway, it was fantastic!! I had so much fun! Haven't laughed that much for quite a while. :D I really hope there'll be a DVD of this program, "Nuhr unter uns", next year! (I know a CD is gonna be released soon or soon-ish. *g*)
Afterwards I had a picture taken and got his autograph, of course. :-)





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( And here's some stuff I bought lately. :D )

I really needed to get outside for a little while today (and had to get some money from the ATM anyway), so I took my camera with me on a little walk. I quite like the coloured leaves on the trees at the moment and wanted to take some pictures. It's also considerably warm for this time of year. I mean we have November (!) now. Ah well, probably shouldn't complain, 'cause I'm sure the cold will come soon enough. ;-)

( anyhoo, here are the pics )

First of all, so I don't forget: a Happy Birthday to dunkle_feuer!!
I hope you had a nice day. :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yesterday I spent the whole day in Hamburg. Had a very good time. :-)
My original plan was to walk around a bit and take lots of pictures, but again I ended up mostly in the shopping areas... :p Didn't want to take pictures of the same things as the last time(s) either, so I only took about 15-20 pics in the end, and most of them not even of interest to anyone else but me. *g*

( Read more + some pics )

Not counting the Phantom Concert screening, I haven't been to the cinema since October 2009... That's 2 years! *yikes* Honestly though, I didn't really miss it.

But today I'm finally going again. :D Gonna see the English original version of Fright Night! *squee*
They only show it in 3D (I would've preferred a 2D version, but oh well), so that'll be a premiere for me too. ;-) I don't know the original Fright Night movie so don't really know what to expect. Hope it's gonna be good!

Here are some David pics to get me in the mood. :D

I can't believe it's October already! O_O

I haven't been around LJ much lately. Mainly because the last two weeks I had my final exams at school. Eek! Can't believe the 2 year training is already over now. Most of the exams went okay, a couple of them even good IMO. But I also think I probably failed 3 of them and the Spanish oral/interpreting one yesterday was a complete disaster too... *sighs* I'm actually only allowed to fail one of the exams, so I better prepare myself mentally to maybe have to take some of them again... But maybe I shouldn't worry too much already and wait for the results first, right? ;-)

Today I spent some hours outside, which was lovely. Gorgeous summer weather in October is weird gorgeous!
I played around with my camera a bit and discovered this setting called "Sandstrahl" (sandblast) that I never noticed before. I quite like it. :-)
( some pics )

I'm looking very much forward to watching the live streaming of the Phantom Anniversary Concert with fry_addict tomorrow. *yeah* Maybe I'm going to finally rewatch the 2004 Phantom Of The Opera movie tonight to get in the mood. :D

And last but not least, a happy belated birthday to maryoftheriver. I hope you had a nice day!

Yesterday it was time for the Kiel Lauf. It's a quite popular sports event here and it seems to be getting bigger every year. This year there were about 8,600 participants. 
This is also the first year that I took an active part in it. Go, me! *gg* Before I only ever was a spectator when my father did the half-marathon. ;-) And it actually went surprisingly well (considering that I virtually didn't do any training for it). I finished the 6km in 47 mins 25 sec. :-)

    
(taken before the start)                                               (about 1-2 km into the race)


In other news: I'm going to see a live streaming of the Phantom Of The Opera 25th Anniversary Concert with fry_addict in a small cinema near Hamburg on 2 October. \o/ Yeah, baby! Really looking forward to that! <3
Thanks to baka_yu for bringing up the idea and to fry_addict for finding the cinema. :D
It'll probably be the next best thing to actually being live at the Royal Albert Hall. ;-) And it'll definitely be the first time I'm driving 76km just to get to a cinema... *lol*

Right, haven't posted in ages... But I'm still alive. ;-)

Two weeks ago I bought a Nintendo 3DS and I guess some sort of gaming fever had me in its clutches since then. Hahaha. :D I'm really loving it! <3


Ok, and first of all I'd like to thank fantasy_bubbles. Your sweeties arrived (nearly 2 weeks ago already actually... *blushes*). \o/ Thank you soooo much!!!! *hugs* They all look pretty yummy. <3



Also, I love that you went to all the trouble to paint the package as Union Jack. :D (Would post a picture, but obviously it has my address on it. ;-) So better not.) Thanks again!


And another thing I wanted to post about two weeks ago... On one of my sunday walks I took some pictures of wall paintings that I came across.
( Look, murals! )

Thomas Borchert concert in Hamburg this evening!! \o/ Really looking forward to that. :-)
