Please? It's ( Read more... )

Twenty years, everyone. We had to wait twenty years for this. The cinema where I watched the first one doesn't even exist anymore. I honestly thought it was a joke when they announced the sequel a couple months ago but OMFG, it is here. It existsAnd it's going to be a pain in the ass finding a cinema that doesn't only ( Read more... )

Originally, I'd wanted to post something about the new TFA trailer last night but then I realized I didn't have a Star Wars icon and ended up spending 2 1/2 hours on looking for fitting pictures and fiddling with image resizing and textures and stuff and then it was 0300 and I decided that it was about time to go to bed after all.

( Just me and a couple thoughts on the trailer. Yes, THAT trailer. )

I might finally get the Star Wars movie I've been waiting for. I just looked it up again, it's been nine fucking years since I started writing the Jenna's War stories about a group of Rebel infantry soldiers and nine years since I started to get a bit tired of Jedi and bounty hunters (oh God I just really fucking hate bounty hunters I never want to ( Read more... )

Because I just had my first seeding session (no pictures yet because it would just be soil in pots which doesn't sound particularly exciting if you ask me). I put the following into soil:

Once again, I managed to get invited to a party in Berlin-Moabit, where New Year's Eve is akin to being in a war zone so before I'm off in a few hours, I'd like to give you the obligatory holiday post. So, our most favorite household members and I would like to wish you:

HAPPY NEW YEAR, FROHES NEUES AND PROSPERO ANO NUEVO TO EVERYONE ON THE FLIST! ( Read more... )

Yes, that's important enough for me to write an entry. I like the Christmas Season. I'm a big fan of it. I love cold and possibly snow (although not the way this city deals with snow but that's a different story) and all the cheesy Christmas music on the radio and baking cookies and making hot chocolate and getting together in cozy little ( Read more... )

It's September 1st and that means... it is finally fall! Let's just forget that this also means the year is almost over again and how the hell did that happen?

It's time for hoodies and colorful leaves and rainy Saturday afternoons that I can spend on the couch doing nothing and storms and papers that still haven't been finished despite only one ( Read more... )

And jessie_ohki said she just can't see all the dieting postings in her flist, anymore on twitter. (I think it was jessie_ohki. Was it?)

So. A post about eating out with my family.

( Did I mention that we really like to eat out? )
