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! :-)

I finally got my DVD of the Les Misérables 25th Anniversary Concert today. \o/ *squee*

I haven't entirely finished watching it yet, but here are some thoughts so far:
( Do you hear the people sing? )

Can't wait to get to the encores! Valjean Quartet (with Colm Wilkinson <3, John Owen-Jones <3<3, Simon Bowman <3<3 and Alfie Boe) FTW!! ♥♥♥ And also the original 1985 cast (Michael Ball! Roger Allam!). :-)

Well, still don't really have anything interesting to report about... So here are just a couple of boring things. ;-) *lol*

- Seems like mentioning to my boss that I'd quite like to have at least one saturday per month off, please, was effective. :D So now I don't have to work on 30 October. *yay* It's my first free saturday since... well, since my holidays in August, I guess. I'm looking forward to that. \o/

- Because I had to take down the picture frames in the corner where now the cat tree is, I made a kind of collage of some of my favourite stagedoor photos in the bigger frame which hangs on the other wall. It wasn't easy arranging the photos so that everything fitted well, let me tell you... Puzzle for adults. :D
Anyhow, this is the result. I really like it. <3

Sorry that the quality of the pic isn't the best. It was quite hard to take a picture without something reflecting on it... ;-)

- Nice weather again today. Took a nearly 10 km walk *yikes*, which then ended in sitting in a coffeehouse and eating some yummy waffles with hot cherries and vanilla ice cream. :-)

And for the German people on my f-list (because the others won't know who I'm talking about *gg*):
- Jetzt sind es nur noch 2 1/2 Wochen bis ich Dieter Nuhr endlich mal wieder live sehe! \o/ Woohoo!! Ich freu mich drauf. :D Auch wenn's diesmal in einer grösseren Veranstaltungshalle sein wird, wo ich noch nicht so richtig weiss, wie's da wohl werden wird... Fand's am bisherigen Veranstaltungsort eigentlich immer recht schön. *seufz*

Hiya. D'you remember me? ;-) Just realized I haven't posted for about 2 weeks... :-( Mainly because I didn't really have anything to say. Yeah, my life is that boring. *sighs* Still don't, really... *lol*

Today was beautiful weather. <3 As long as you stayed in the sun, it also was considerably warm. There was a farmers' market in the city, and most of the shops in the pedestrian zone and our shopping mall were open as well, so I spent a couple of hours with my parents there. It was quite nice.

Also, my scratching post finally arrived this weekend. *yay* So today I spent 2 hours (!) assembling it. Which was good fun actually. :D I quite enjoyed it. And I'm a bit proud that I managed it all by myself! *g* Go, me! :D
This is what it looked like at first:



And this is the result of my hard work:
( piccies )

Don't mind the little plush cat. *lol* I just thought it was somehow fitting. :D
Anyway, I really like it. :-) Hopefully the cat will, too... ;-) *gg*

Oh, and I have to share this:

♥♥♥ Probably the best thing I saw today. *happy sigh*
John Owen-Jones - my favourite Valjean ever!! <3<3<3 Simon Bowman, who comes a close second after I saw him in London in August. <3<3 And Colm Wilkinson. :-)
