Dani's Journal

- Dentist appointment tomorrow. *ugh* Definitely not keen on that. :-/

- I still have no placement for an internship... This sucks big time, especially as the internship period is actually supposed to start on 3 September already, which only gives me 2 more weeks now to find something... *is deperate* Seems pretty unlikely, when so far I wasn't able to find anything in the past 8-9 weeks, right? *facepalm* I have one more interview on Monday (please keep your fingers crossed again!! pleeeaaase), but if that doesn't work out, frankly I don't know what to do... :-/

- On the weekend I finally managed to "update" my framed stagedoor photos. :D Had to take 6 older pictures out to fit 3 of the new London ones in and it was really hard to arrange them so they all would fit into the frame... ;-) It seriously took me an hour or so. o_o *lol* But I'm quite happy with the result now. :-)


(Sorry for picture quality here, especially in the bottom right area... Things and lights keep reflecting on the surface, so it's pretty hard to take a somewhat decent photo. ;-) *g*)

In the pictures (from left to right/ top to bottom, sort of *lol*): Michael Ball, Ben Mansfield, Philip Quast (yep, he's allowed to be in there twice <3), Reece Shearsmith, Simon Bowman, Norm Lewis, Killian Donnelly, Kasper Holmboe, Matt Rawle, Roger Allam, Veit Schäfermeier, Pia Douwes, Fredrik Wickerts, Thomas Borchert, Jörn Linnenbröker, Jerzy Jeszke, Aleks di Capri, Jens Janke, Felix Martin, Norbert Kohler and Olegg Vynnyk. Well, and myself, obviously, on some of them. ;D Some of the pictures are also autographed, but it doesn't show here too well...
 
This is what the frame looked like before btw, if you're interested. ;-) click

- Next week I'm gonna watch Sister Act again. *yay* Sadly the musical is leaving Hamburg on 26 August, so I had to take this as last oppurtunity... Already seen it once last year in July and enjoyed it so very much!! :D It's so much fun and many of the songs are really catchy. *g* Hope I'm as lucky with the cast as I was the last time. :-) 



- Also, if everything goes according to plan (and my boss does actually remember that I want that day off... *rolleyes*) I'm going to meet up with fry_addict, maggi137 and vesperdavid in Hamburg on Saturday the 25th. Really looking forward to that! :-)

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

Look what I just found in my letterbox. \o/

What do I do when I don't really feel like sleeping at night? I randomly browse YouTube of course. :p *gg* And sometimes I find things like this. \o/
So. Much. Love!!! ♥♥

I couldn't care less about this Peter Jöback guy (sorry *g*), but I adore the other 4. <3

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!

The music was wonderful and we also laughed so much. You just have to love his little stories. *gg* And he made us sing too, because "singing makes you happy". :D So much fun! *lol*

I was more or less randomly browsing YouTube for some people earlier today and found these 2 videos. Alfie Boe and Matt Lucas singing "The Impossible Dream" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother".

LOL. So good!! :D

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...)

- I just registered for the 6km run of the Kiel.Lauf on 11 September! Yeah, I don't know what came over me either. :p *lol* I actually wasn't out jogging at all since... well, June or July last year, I think. O_O Haha! Really need to get into it again soon, I guess. ;-) But this is about the distance I ran back then, so it should be doable... Btw, not counting that one teeny-tiny junior triathlon I did when I was young (in my teens? I don't really remember...), this will be the first official sports event I'm actively participating in! Quite exciting! :D

- I think I'm finally rid of my neck problems. Hooray! \o/ Or at least for now...

- I'm going to see "Crazy For You" again on Sunday. <3 *yay* Unfortunately it'll be the last time though. *sniffles* Apart from Sunday there are only 2 more dates for it this month (both of which I can't go to) and then it's run at our opera house closes. :-(

- I'm officially in love with Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Simon Amstell right now. <3 I had only seen a couple of random NMTB episodes before, on account of some of the guests, and always really enjoyed it, so I started watching the show properly last week. Amstell's time as host (series 19-22) that is. I know many people don't like him and/or prefer Mark Lamarr (who I don't know)... But I think Simon's great! Deal with it! :p
I definitely need to make some space for some of the awesome NMTB icons that miss_jaffacake made (yours are the best!). :D I think with icons of my favourite quotes alone I could use up at least half of my total icon space... *lol*
