How to save my lj?
*insert creaking noises*
Hi everybody! Long time no see and all this - although I still do read you regularly. Just posting somehow... sort of fell through all the time?
Anyhow: I need advice. For I somehow managed to lose access to my dw-account and now live in fear the same happens with my lj. So I'd like to save my entries - but preferably not ( Read more... ) -
"Oh no, not another song" - or: Did you know you can laugh out loud while reading Tolkien?
Over the summer holidays I read The Fellowship of the Rings to the kids. I wasn't sure about the whole project: we read The Hobbit, sure, but LotR? For a 7year-old? But they demanded it, and so it started as a dare: See, kids, there is not a more boring story in the world then the beginning of FotR ( Read more... ) -
And so it begins...
Have to find something to do without internet - Precious is there, playing Minecraft with two friends and thus hogging the WLAN.
*sigh* They grow up so fast!
(And still havent't learned to clean up after themselves and want to have things to eat prepared every given second...) -

Phantastic beasts and when to see them...
...in my case: two days early - and then I was late for the press screening. Aaaaah. I think for the overarching sinister "how on earth do we poor little wizards and witches deal with the foes outside our little community (with office buildings Trump would be proud of)"-plot the first 7-8 minutes would have been helpful. *sigh* Someone up for a ( Read more... ) -

Wednesday reads (holiday edition, disentchanting a childhood classic)
What I've just finished reading
Since we're on holidays, a lot of the time was spent in a cabin high up in the Alps with extraordinately bad weather - so children's books it is...
Das kleine Gespenst (The little Ghost) by Otfried Preußler. I've read this book countless times, still like the plot with the ghost that gets from haunting the night to ( Read more... ) -
Wednesday reads (still late)
What I've just finished reading
A book on German environmentalism (for work...). And horrible poems praising said environment (also for work). And a book explaining Judaism for children (you guess the reason...).
What I'm reading now
Still PoA.
What I'm reading next
Probably PoA. And work stuff: next week holidays are starting, and I have to ( Read more... ) -
Wednesday reads (first time and already a day late...)
I thought I try this reading-thing? To get back in the swing of posting? We'll see how it goes...
What I've just finished reading
That book on fanfic by Anne Jamison that everybody else has read ages ago: fic - Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World. It has been lurking on my shelf for quite some time now, and I'm quite happy I finally read it: ( Read more... )
