It's been a long time since I did one of those picture slideshows. What can I say: a matter of being bored by the technical possibilities, by the subjects, lack of inspiration etc. etc. etc.

This week I found a collection of images (already shared with some of you here) that inspired me again... so I gave it another try. Yeah, it took some time to ( Read more... )

And it's Tuesday. And I've realized the countdown has started already. Not long until I'll be on a work assignment in Berlin for several weeks. Time sure flies. Before that I'll be having some time off wok in order to celebrate the 90th birthday of a relative. Which also means I'll get to see my nephews. :) So much to do... so little time ( Read more... )

Back from watching the ESC 2011 in a local pub with my friends. We had a blast commenting on what was unfolding before our eyes on the screen. Although I must admit a lot of the songs were much better than I had feared ( Read more... )

Ops.

Gosh. This guy and guys like him are killing me. How can one person be just so utterly adorable and cute and intelligent and good hearted at the same time. Where's the recipe for my personal version?

Guessed whom I'm talking about? Yep. Darren Criss it is. And here's the reason why I'm currently even more in love than usual. :)

For the last .... months I've been promoting and posting images of the lovely Alex Pettyfer within this journal, and so of course it's my duty to report on his first ever tv interview in the USA. As luck would have it, he chose to be on "Ellen", which as you might remember is my favourite tv daytime show ever since I had the pleasure on being on it ( Read more... )

Had a lovely day at work. Which has to count for something. Upon returning home I discovered I had forgotten to turn the iron off. Ops. Thank goodness nothing happened.

Found this graphic on a website and was totally fascinated by it, so I just had to share it with you here:
