Dani's Journal

I have to be off to work in about 30 minutes. Don't really want to... But I have a free Saturday tomorrow! \o/ YAY! I guess a lot of TV watching will be involved. :D I have sooo many shows to catch up with. *yikes*

You know, you can get some pretty weird ideas at night. *gg* In this case I lay in bed and just couldn't sleep, so after a while I started browsing some old holiday pictures on my laptop. And then decided to do some random picspams with them here. :D So there will be pictures of Paris, Rome, Alicante, Berlin, Stuttgart, etc. soon. Or feel free to just ignore the posts if you're not interested. :p
Might even start with the first one tonight after work, if I'm not too knackered...

I'm getting really pissed off about these spam comments I keep getting on random older entries! *rolleyes* It first started about 3 weeks ago and got pretty bad. Then I friends-locked the affected entries and it stopped. Which made me glad, and I thought that was it... But this week it started again! WTF?!!

So I'm thinking about changing my complete LJ to "friends only" soon... I'd prefer not to do that, but it appears to be the only way. :-(
----------------------------------------

Thank you for the v-gift, sam80853!! :D
----------------------------------------

Watched the pilot episode of "Mr. Sunshine" earlier. And I really liked it! :D Quite funny. *gg* Definitely will continue watching. :-)
----------------------------------------

Work tomorrow. *sighs* But it's only half a day. I'm gonna hold onto that thought. ;-) *g* And I have the next two Saturdays off! \o/

My Doctor Who DVDs just arrived!! \o/ *jumps up and down*
I must say that I prefer the digipak versions of the earlier seasons with their nice booklets a bit though... But never mind. The hologram cover is pretty cool! :D
----------------------------------------

Yesterday I watched "Stonehenge Apocalypse". Umm... not the greatest movie in the world, is it? *lol* But I guess I've seen worse movies. Though probably not that many... :p *gg*
But it's all part of my "catching-up-with-SPN-cast-movies", so I have to be brave. Haha. :D
And at least Misha was very nice to look at. ;-) I never realised until recently that he was Alexis Drazen in 24! Guess I'll have to re-watch that at some point too (always wanted to anyway! it's been sooo long...). *g*
----------------------------------------

Have to be off to work in about 1 1/2 hours... *do not want* :-(
But in exchange I only have to work until 2 p.m. on Saturday, which is nice for a change. *yeah*

I really WANT to update more often, but actually never have much to tell... :-(

Many thanks for the v-gift, baka_yu. It's adorable! <3

On Wednesday I went to the theatre and saw "Crazy For You" again. Still very funny show! :D I enjoyed it so much once again. I especially like the scene with the two drunk Zanglers ("What Causes That"). *lol* Also, the songs are really growing on me. Usually this kind of... let's call it "classical" musical songs (in this case Gershwin) aren't quite my cup of tea, but some of these are really catchy. :-)
Unfortunately I had no luck with meeting Jens at the stagedoor afterwards. Also would've liked to see Karin. But, frankly, I only waited for about 20 minutes, because a) I was the only one there which always makes me feel highly uncomfortable *is very shy* ;-) and b) it was quite cold... Ah well, maybe will try again another time. Definitely going to see the musical again in March if I can get tickets, methinks. :D

Had to work yesterday and today, but on the plus side: I have tomorrow off! \o/ Yay for free saturdays!! :-) They are rare enough for me... *sighs*

Finally found the time to start with season 2 of Supernatural this week. \o/ Still loving this show!!! :D
But I have the feeling that I had seen at least 2 scenes before... The first one was in 1x22 "Devil's Trap", near the end when the boys and John get back to that motel room and John then "goes demonic". And the second one was in 2x02 "Everybody Loves A Clown", when they walk into that tent and Dean unknowingly asks the blind man if he had seen Mr. Cooper around + the short, quite funny dialogue that follows.
Weird. *g* Must have zapped through them when they were on TV or something. ;-)

I think the only shows I'm actually up-to-date with are White Collar, Primeval and The Big Bang Theory. *lol* Which are all fantastic by the way! <3 But God, there is sooo much else to catch up with... *help* ;-) *g*

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*
