I think my journal is getting a bit one-sided, but what the frak. I'm not doing much else nowadays, so I'll just rant about my abitur some more.

Luckily, I was motivated today, even though (or maybe: because? ) I slept till 11:30... Which means, I've gotten a whole stack of vocabulary done today! *cheer* And I think I finally got the greater part of my file carts, so I'm a little less nervous. But my mood changes daily anyways. Well.

I think I should stop worrying about my English abitur, because I can't change anything any more. But! The more I think about it, the more I remember things I have forgotten... But it's a relieve that Mieke feels the same and somewhere deep down I'm sure that we haven't screwed up totally. Still. *panics*

Maybe I don't want to write the other two exams: I'll have two more to worry about.

I think I'll make some more muffins. Last time I forgot the egg which caused them to sink in in the middle and they were extremely sticky and wouldn't come out of the muffin cases.  Bad muffins!
It's like frustration-baking.

Abitur may be a good thing, in the end, but right now I'm just tired of studying. French is not that bad, "just" vocabulary and background information on the topics - "Paris" and "revolts and rebellions in France" - but social studies is killing me. It's always the same. Gentrification here, gentrification there. Booooooring! To combine the two subjects: "J'en ai marre!" (Means: I've got enough of it) The problem is that I still don't know all the more or less important things by heart, so I still have 15 file cards left for studying. I tend to forget half of what's on them, which is - not that good.

But I found a nice programme that helps you train vocabulary and now I'm training my french... More or less. The only problem there is that I have a couple of words that have the exact same meaning and the programme (and I) can't tell them apart. Fun.

Because of all the boredom I'm not really that motivated or at least not half as motivated as would be good. I keep thinking "You should be studying, because otherwise you might regret it" but I can't bring myself to be very consequent. Even though I do study, it's not like I'm just sitting around all day doing nothing. Nevertheless I'd much rather read a book or watch a good episode of Babylon 5, Queer as Folk or the Mentalist. Grr.

I'll be so glad when this is over. Then there are 5 days in Paris and only 9 weeks of school left! :-D *happy* Later FedCon and theeeen my oral exams. Well. But I figure as soon as I have written all the exams I'm gonna start worrying what I did wrong...

And now I'm hungry. And I have ranted enough. I should get back to work but... I think I'll just stop for today. Well, after I've repeated the French "subjonctif"... Have a nice evening!

I love the organisation of my teachers and my school in general. My abitur is near and I thought I'd better start studying now, since 4 weeks isn't really thaat much time left. But I still have one week off before exams start, so I'll manage.

Well, back to my story, I wanted to start studying. First thing: Finding out what knowledge is required. Hmm. Let's see, at the beginning of the first semester all teachers handed out those papers stating what we'll do when at what we have to know. Sooo, let's seee... Hey, wait! I never got one for social studies! Ar, well, the government of Hamburg has got a website where they're publishing information on the abitur, so I should find something there. Several clicks later I discover that the page is very confusing. What do we have here? Some general topics like "economy" or "politics" we should have worked on and lots of links for teachers where they can find material for classes. Hmm. That's somehow not what I was searching for. Ok. Ah, a link titled "Exam Rules". That should be it. Should. All I find in there are some topics we have not talked about ever or only some lessons. While I start to panic, I search the corresponding material from the folder where I stowed it at the end of last year. I find... 40 sheets. I think that won't cover the amount of topics they want me to know. ugly Slowly I realize that those topics I found aren't the real ones and search again. Oh, look! Another link with things I should know. Wonder how much of that is true... Well, it looks more like the topics we've discussed. At least. Meanwhile it's become time to go to bed. I'm now seriously pissed  off because off my former social studies teacher who taught us effectively nothing and my current teacher who is refusing to give us material so we can study the things we should have studied last year on our own. (Also she keeps referring to NRW where she did her exam where everything is soooo different. I really wanted to ask her "Do you have central exams at NRW, too, like IN HAMBURG?!" but I think that would be too rude. ugly)

New day, new game, first thing in the lesson I asked her for those information sheets and she was very abashed that we hadn't gotten them a year and a half ago. We then had to tell her that everything was a bit different with our fomer teacher - we mostly sat in front of a 5 centimetre stack of copies from which we only discussed 1 centimetre, and talked. At least she agreed instantly to copy them. Well.

Another nice thing are the grades for participation in class. I always find them very interesting because most of the time they aren't very justified. So I got 13 points for... er... raising my hand thrice a lesson. That's one more than I did with my old teacher, but with him I only raised it every second lesson... and still got 13 points. See the logic? ;)

So now I've agreed with myself that I can study the things we're currently discussing in class because she said that those are important. So now I'm studying... or not, because I'm distracting myself with blogging. Well. I'll be off now. Studying. (Or surfing the internet... ;)).

Btw, the spell check is driving me mad. It's always complaining about British spelling! Even though my default language is Enlish (UK). I'll never understand it...

Hm, every time I've got holidays (and am at home), I'm blogging. Is there a pattern...? Well, nonetheless, I'm pretty pissed about both TVFL and Couchpotatoes not working since now I have the time and feel like watching some episodes. Of course there are other sources for those, but the links I find via google are... no megaupload single links.  :-P So now I'm waiting for the third part of 6 to finish downloading from megaupload, because all the other links are dead or - hey, netload! - not allowing you to download more than one file per hour. Did I mention it sucked?

I guess I'm going to watch a little True Blood again while I'm waiting. Tss. Nothing works when you need it.

Oh, I love holidays. No getting up early, no listening to boring teachers' classes... Sleeping in and reading and watching tv shows and knitting and listening to audio books and drawing and meeting with friends. If every day would be like this... it'd be pretty boring. ;) But for holidays it's just fine.

Yesterday, I went shopping with a friend of mine, because we both needed a present for another friend and I needed stuff for my new camera ( ) - a bag and an SD-card - and I wanted a new skirt. Well. As most women with a taste a little apart from the current fashion knows, it's not easy finding something that fits your taste. So we went to the first shop, surprisingly finding two skirts that I liked and I tried them on. Unfortunately my friend was of the opinion, that neither of them really suited me, which is why we decided to search the other shops and come back to buy the one I liked better if I didn't find anything else. Well. Of course the usual shops like H&M were not capable of selling relatively long skirts in WINTER (helloohoo, it's cold!), and even the short ones were so thin I was freezing just from looking at them. Apart from that, we found the camera supplies and the present and even a long sleeved shirt for my friend, so we kept on searching the shops. And, who would have guessed it, I found one in the very last possible shop. Next time, I'll search them the other way around. But at least I liked it, it suited me (according to my friend), it was made of a thick fabric and it was not as short as the other ones we found. ugly Okay, it was more of a mini skirt than my usual skirts, but not totally short. And I wanted a skirt. But I totally love this one! So we went back happy and a little poorer. (What a wonderful story...!)
Unfortunately, I managed to stay awake until 4 again, so I missed lunch today, but I figured that New Year's Eve is coming soon and after that my sleeping rhythm will be off anyways.

So while I'm waiting for my download to complete, I'm annoyed by TVFL and Couchpotatoes for not working. These are the great problems I am faced with now. ugly

Another thing I thought I'd ask: For christmas, my mother gave me the all three season's of Torchwood, which is pretty cool, apart from the fact that I asked my grandmother to give me the first one, which she did. So I had the first season 2 times and asked my father, who had ordered it, to return it. Now I have to decide what I will have as replacement and I don't know which season of which show I want. I'm currently thinking maybe 3rd season Doctor Who, but... Maybe another season? Another show? Help?

Nachdem ich glorreiche 5 Stunden geschlafen habe, da ich aus irgendeinem Grund nicht einschlafen konnte (nein, hm... könnte nicht daran liegen, dass ich wegfliege...), holte mich meine Oma von zuhause ab, um mich zum Flughafen zu bringen. Während wir auf der Fahrt noch kurz mit meinem Opa zuhause telefonierten, um herauszufinden an welchem Terminal mein Flug geht, kamen wir unbeschadet an, sogar mit einem Parkplatz im Erdgeschoss. Den komischen Taxifahrer, der uns anhupte, weil wir ihm nicht schnell genug fuhren, überhörten wir einfach. Entgegen der Panik meiner Oma verlief der Check-In reibungslos, aber sie war auch die einzige, die da Bedenken hatte. Ich hatte mich schon im Internet eingecheckt, also konnte ich mir am Schalter den Vergleich meiner Reisepassnummer glücklicherweise sparen. Bei sowas verstehe ich wieder, warum man so früh am Flughafen sein muss. Um sich einchecken zu können muss man nämlich nochmal einen kleinen Fragebogen zum Reisepass und zum Thema Terrorismus ausfüllen. Mein Gefühl, dass die Amis keine Gäste haben wollen, bestärkt sich immer mehr.
Ein paar Minuten nach dem Check-In verließen mich dann meine Großeltern und ließen mich durch die Handgepäckkontrolle gehen. Dort wurde dann auch prompt mein Laptop auserkoren, die Quote der auf Sprengsätze getesteten Laptops zu erfüllen. Ich durfte also einem Flughafenangestellten in ein kleines Zimmerchen folgen, wo er etwas Staub von meinem Laptop abrieb, diese Proben dann durch eine Maschine laufen ließ, woraufhin er mir zwei Sekunden später verkündete, dass mein Laptop zu meiner großen Überraschung keinen Sprengsatz enthält. Puh.
Bei den Gates traf ich dann auch gleich einen Mitschüler aus meinem Englisch-LK, der nach Manila fliegt. Sehr passend, denn ich hatte gerade 5 Minuten vorher darüber nachgedacht, dass man doch sicher auf dem Flughafen irgendjemanden treffen könnte, den man kennt, vor allem in den Sommerferien. Das hätten wir ja geklärt. :grin:
Nun sitze ich erstmal in meinem Gate, das quasi das letzte Gate ist, jedoch nicht das auf der Seite, von der aus ich nach Bonn geflogen bin. So sieht man mal den ganzen Flughafen! Tja, und wie könnte es anders sein, die Maschine wird schon als verspätet angezeigt, da sieh zu spät angekommen ist. Na super. Mal sehen, ob ich den Flug nach LA trotzdem bekomme.
Ansonsten habe ich noch herausgefunden, dass das W-Lan am Flughafen nicht kostenlos ist ( :( kein herumgesurfe im Forum!), man aber gerne Flughafeninformationen abrufen kann. Na wenigstens.

Trotz der angekündigten Verspätung kamen wir sehr rechtzeitig an, d.h. zur vorgesehenen Zeit der Landung war ich bereits im Flughafen. Wie mir schon angekündigt wurde, ist der Amsterdamer Flughafen ziemlich groß. Da ich aber nicht wirklich wusste, wo ich hin musste, folgte ich erstmal den Schildern in Richtung "Service Point", wiel ich mir dachte, es wäre nett, zu wissen, ob ich den zu dem ausgeschilderten "Transfer Point" gehen sollte, oder lieber doch nicht. Der Service Point war jedenfalls nicht besetzt und verwies mich auf einen weiteren Service Point in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zu den Transferflügen. Die Dame, die ich nach einem Servicepoint fragen wollte, war ziemlich beschäftigt, woraufhin ich erstmal beschloss, dass es wohl auf dem Weg zum Transfer noch irgendwo einen Servicepoint geben müsste, bei dem ich mal fragen könnte, wohin ich denn muss. So weit, so gut. Wie schon erwähnt ist der Flughafen in Amsterdam ziemlich groß. Ich benutzte also zahlreiche Rollbänder (sehr praktische Erfindung), bis ich überhaupt mal irgendwohin kam, wo ich irgendjemanden fragen konnte, in meinem Fall eine Dame in einem "Geschäft". Diese erzählte mir, dass es gleich um die Ecke eine Information gäbe. Auf dem Weg dorthin fand ich aber eine Station mit "Check-In-Maschinen", deren Schilder mir mitteilten, dass sie genau das waren, was ich suchte: Sie verraten einem nämlich, wo das Flugzeug abfliegt. Als ich diese merkwürdige Maschine endlich überlistet hatte und auf dem Weg zu meinem Gate war, fand ich die Information. :p Auf meinem Weg zum Gate traf ich dann auch noch meinen Mitschüler wieder, der im gleichen Flugzeug gesessen hatte wie ich und nun zu einem Gate in meiner Nähe wollte. Wen ich wohl auf der Rückfahrt treffe? :ugly:
Ins Gate kam man mal wieder nur, wenn man durchleuchtet wurde, aber anders als bei uns ist die Kontrolle vor jedem Gate seperat und nicht einmal zentral. Der nette niederländische Herr, der versuchte mich durch die Kontrolle zu bringen, war wohl irgendwie der Ansicht, ich spräche Niederländisch, was ihn dazu veranlasste, mich auf eben dieser Sprache vollzulabern. Nach 2 Minuten (in denen ich natürlich die anderen davon abgehalten habe, einzuchecken) gab er dann endlich auf, vor allem auf meine Frage, ob ich den Laptop herausnehmen muss, die ich natürlich auf Englisch stellte. Er antwortete mir dann auf auf Englisch, was ich sehr nett von ihm fand. :ugly: Ich war also durch die Kontrolle, sammelte meinen Laptop, meine Tasche und meinen Rucksack ein und wollte mir einen Platz suchen, als mir auf halbem Weg auffällt, dass ich meinen Pullover beim Durchleuchten vergessen haben muss. Das wäre reichlich blöd gewesen, dachte ich mir und ging zurück. Ich fand den Pullover am Ende der "Warteschlange" der angekommenen Schalen, hob ihn auf und fand meinen Reisepass und meine Boardingcard. Was für ein großer Stein mir vom Herzen gefallen ist, brauche ich wohl nicht zu erwähnen, denn was zum Teufel wäre passiert, wenn ich in den USA ohne Reisepass angekommen wäre?! Lustig wäre es jedenfalls nicht geworden. :durchgeknallt:

Das Flugzeug ist ganz bequem, meinen eigentlichen Platz habe ich schon wieder nicht bekommen - den auf dem Flug nach Amsterdam hatte ich mit einer Frau getauscht, die neben ihrem Mann sitzen wollte - und auch hier war die Sitzverteilung wohl etwas ungünstig für Ehepaare, denn nicht nur ich begab mich eine Reihe weiter vor, sondern noch mindestens ein anderer Passagier tauschte seinen Platz mit einem einsamen Familienmitglied. Dabei ist es doch im Internet-Check-In so einfach, sich Plätze auszusuchen... Äh, zurück zur Sache. Ich habe noch ungefähr 5 1/2 Stunden flug vor mir und mein Akku hat noch 1 Stunde und 17 Minuten Strom. Obwohl sich das auch laufend ändert. Vorhin waren es nur 45 Minuten. Wenn ich also einfach weiter schreibe und nicht anfange, den Mentalist zu gucken (was ich ja eigentlich vor hatte. Leider hab ich die Leverage Folge im Flugzeug nicht dabei. Das wäre lustig gewesen :breitgrinsend: ), wird er wohl noch eine Weile halten. Außerdem habe ich noch 600 Seiten Buch dabei, "A Clash of Kings", der zweite Band der "A Song of Ice and Fire"-Serie von GRR Martin, die mir meine Tante und meine Schwester nach langem Schwärmen "aufgezwungen" haben - wobei ich zugeben muss, dass sie wirklich gut ist. Ich werde also nicht vor Langeweile sterben, wobei gerade auch irgendein Film mit Mathew McConaughey (wie auch immer man den Herren schreibt) läuft. Aber nunja. Muss ich nicht gucken... :ugly: Mittlerweile sind wir wohl über Island geflogen, wovon ich leider gar nichts gesehen habe, da eine dicke Wolkenschicht alles verdeckt. :( Aber ich fange an zu schwafeln.

Den restlichen Flug verbrachte ich größtenteils damit, den Jungen neben mir zu ignorieren. Dieser war ein seltenes Exemplar der Spezies "Ich verstehe kein Wort Englisch, nicht mal "What's your name?"". Und er hatte sich nichts zum beschäftigem mitgenommen, nichts. Was dazu führte, dass er reichlich hibbelig war, mit allen möglichen im Flugzeug befindlichen Sachen herumspielte (inkl. Müll) und sowieso reichlich nervig war. War ich froh, als ich ihn los war. Sein Vater war ganz nett. ;) Der konnte aber auch Englisch. :p
Nach dem Aussteigen musste man sich erstmal einreihen um bei einem Schalter offiziell in die USA gelassen zu werden, inkl. Fingerabdrücke scannen und fotografieren. Als ich irgendwann dran war, eröffnete mir der Herr am Schalter, dass ich mich für ein Visum beworben hatte und dass dies gar nicht nötig gewesen wäre, da "your country and my country are friends", wie er so schön sagte. Das heißt also, ich habe dieses unglaubliche Formular ganz umsonst ausgefüllt... Dafür kann ich jetzt meine Reisepassnummer auswendig. :smirk:
Meine Tante stand direkt am Ausgang des (relativ kleinen) LAer Flughafens. Statt direkt nach Hause zu fahren musste wir erstmal einkaufen. 1 1/2 Stunden später waren wir fertig und hatten viel zu viel Geld für zu wenig Sachen ausgegeben. 20 Minuten später waren wir in Pasadena und endlich angekommen.

Summer holidays and nothing to do, so: meme time!

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

[info]thoran_ziyal  gave me: Katzen, Violine, Manga, Harry Potter, Heerlager (in English: cats, violin, manga, Harry Potter, medieval camp)

Sooo, start with the beginning:

Cats: I love cats. Cats are great. They're far better than dogs, for example. And they're fluffier. And smaller. I mean, they're cats. Isn't that enough of an explanation? No dog will wake you up by picking you in the nose with his claw, I can tell you that. Cats!

Violin: I love my violin. The better you get and the longer you play, the more fun it is. And since I have my new violin case, it's also fun to carry it around. Have you noticed how beautiful violins are? Especially old ones, painted brown. Not these new, cheap, red ones. *shudder* And the sound of a violin is great. You can do sooo much with it, from classical music up to pop music, medieval things, irish folk, everything.

Manga: I think i got into manga by watching anime on RTL2 while I was still young and innocent. *grin* Now I've got quite a collection, even though I tend to spend my money for other things now, which is quite sad, because I forget to buy new volumes of my favourite series. I don't know exactly why I like manga, it's just the variety of topics that you can choose from, like books. Only drawn. It's an easy read with nice pictures, that offers you other possibilities to tell a story. At this time, I think I have to say, that I don't like every manga and that giving one to me as a present is a bad idea, unless you asked me which ones I'd like to have before you buy them. The problem is, that people tend to give you any volume of any series, because you read manga. So I got some very strange volumes, e.g. volume 22 of a series I had never heard of before. I know, manga are a great gift, because they're not that expensive, but please ask.

Harry Potter: I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, even though I started only after the 4th volume was released. That was in my primary school time, so I guess that's an excuse. ;) After that, I got all the other volumes on their release dates, the fifth in German, number 6 and 7 in English. No need to mention that I needed 2 days tops to read them. ;) Harry Potter was also the first book I read in English, the Philosopher's Stone, given to me for christmas by my beloved aunt. :-) Caring for the education of her nieces and nephew. *hug* I once was really into the fandom, translating passages for a big translating project (which is really fun!), discussing in a forum, reading fan fiction, but now I don't do that a lot anymore. (Mostly the fault of LotR)

Medieval Camp: When the BC had the idea to do its own medieval camp, I gladly joined. My problem is, that I should buy some things, like plates or a tent or shoes, but I don't have the money. So I'm hoping that there is a spare plate somewhere and that it will be dry in september, because my alibi-boots (with zipper...) are broken now, apart from the fact that they are a little too warm for late summer. Nevertheless, it's quite fun to live in a tent and to cook medieval food, to sit on bales of straw (even though your back will hurt on the second day), have a fire going and such things. And the atmosphere is great.

I hope, that was enough now. I'm quite out of ideas. ;)

After some trouble involving USB-Sticks and keys ( ;-) @ [info]thoran_ziyal ), I finally watched the third season of Torchwood. Spoilers ahead )
 
Even though, I like this season of Torchwood very much and will watch it again soon, if only to get all the inside information, that was revealed to the viewer in mid-season, from the beginning. It's also a chance to see more of Ianto. ;)

You know that play of Tennesse Williams? That one, that made him famous and stuff? Yeah, me too. Since today, or rather "this evening".  But maybe "know" is a little bit exaggerated since I didn't listen to the talk all the time. Well, begin with the beginning:

I went to the play with my English-course, which was about 2/3 of the course instead of the whole, but that didn't really surprise anyone. We met at the station that's directly next to the "English Theatre" at 7 o'clock, which left us enough time to wait for the ones that were late, go to the theatre, take our seats etc. At 7:15 we wondered, when we were going to leave the station, at 7:20 we eventually left. We arrived at the theatre, went to the toilett, got our tickets from our teacher and wanted to enter the audience hall, when... we discovered that we were at the wrong theatre. I repeat: We were at the wrong theatre. It was 7:25, the play would start at 7:30 and we were at the wrong theatre. Great! So our teacher asked the ticket-controller were we had to go since she didn't even know of the existence of another theatre showing English plays. We headed back for the station, got back into the U-Bahn for 1 station and went on searching the theatre, which wasn't that hard because of all the signs. We arrived there at 1 minute past 7:30. To our great relief the play hadn't started yet, so we took our seats and waited.
The first lines were a little shock for me, because it war quite hard for me to understand the accent. Btw, I hate the accent of the Southern States and the American accent in general - but that one's bearable, at least more bearable than the Southern. In the end, I understood it quite well, after a fex lines I got into that strange rhythm (it's like a sing-song...). Nevertheless, the action didn't really convince me and soon we were waiting for someone to die so that something interesting would happen. That wouldn't be such a pity since all the characters are kind of annoying - except the one little girl, but she had a (toy) gun and was able to shoot someone! Er, well. Break. The girl's bathroom is always to small.
We hat heard that the play would take about 3 hours (which was bad enough), so we counted down the time of the second half. Unfortunately it took about 20 minutes longer than announced... We were tired, bored and eager to go home and we also saw that our teacher was apparently asleep. *grin*
At last the play was over - at about 11! - and we went home. I arrived at 11:45. I'm tired! And I don't think I'll ever watch that play again in English. *shudder* Even though I could see, why it was so famous - you can interprete a lot into it! :-p

Good night!

I just watched episode 13, which is the penultimate episode of season 4 (I've got the feeling those seasons get shorter and shorter...). Whee! So cute!

Horvarth asking Michael for Debbie's hand. And then, when he doesn't succeed in asking her, yelling through the closed doors of the bus. Whee! And Ben asking Michael. Awwwww! And their marriage with Hunter saying "Say 'Yes, I do!'" and Debbie threatening Brian. *grin* I love all those characters!
Also very cool: "Remember what to say, when they ask you how old you are!" "I just tell them, what I used to tell them: 'How old do you want me to be?'" *grins*

Buuut: Melanie and Lindsey. :( Even though I can understand Mel's point of view, I don't think it's fair that she doesn't even listen to what Lindsay has to say. And now they're braking up?! No! I really hope they will pull themselves together and get over it.
And now, on the episode 14. And then I'll have to look, whether the library has got season 5. Somewhere. In the main library, maybe. *hope*

One day I will learn how to install a mood theme without having to delete it 3 times, without moving the images 3 times and without changing the wrong parts of the code. Er, well. Nevertheless, I got it now. It's a Doctor Who theme from series 2 with Rose and the Doctor. :-D It was made by [info]sunshinefun27 , for which I'm really grateful. I love it. *hearts* Even though someday in the nearer future I will combine my former theme of Capt. Jack with this one. (That makes Rose, the Doctor and Captain Jack all in one mood theme...!) So, I discovered that, once you get the hang of it, LJ can be real fun. *grin*

Since BSG is over now and I have also watched all current episodes of "Leverage" (which is really fun to watch), I decided I could start with Merlin, considering that my mother has told me several times to do so. (what is it with these tv-show addicts, eh? ;) ) Well... after I got used to his looks, Merlin's I mean, it's really good. I would prefer Arthur, but he also gets a lot of sreentime, so I won't complain. *grin* Lancelot is even better, so I loved the episode I watched just this morning, in which I had enough chance to admire both of them at the same time. *fangirl*

What I think is really funny, is when you can read spoilers by simply reading the wikipedia article about the legend of King Arthur. Weeell, I know who's gonna get together in the end. ;) But nevertheless, it still doesn't mean, that the writers won't let anything happen in between. So I'll wait for something to happen. I personnally would love Merlin and Gwen to be a couple - although I don't think Merlin will ever be smart enough to figure out that she likes him and he likes her. *sigh* Sometimes... Er, well. Arthur and Morgana of course. Aaaaand Lancelot and Gwen. It was really uncospicous when they had violin music in the background of their scenes... Because, like my music teacher used to say "Violins indicate a love scene. It always gets very sappy." She was definitely right. ;)

Now, on to the next episode, number 6.

Here in Germany RTL just aired the third episode of series 5. Even though I've missed the first one, the new series is hilarious.

First of all, I love the private detective! He's so cute! And he really can't lie. I quite liked the scene in Cuddy's office where he says he broke into her house and she looks offended/surprised/unbelieving and he goes like 'nah, everybody loves roses'. Love, love, love for this guy.

I do in fact wonder, what 13 does with her hair. It looked horrible today. Well, obviously it's the make up department that did something wrong, but nevertheless. *shudder*

The thing with Taubb and his wife was interesting. Although I think he is being influenced by House, just like Foreman was in series 3. He knows it and he doesn't like it. That is, I think, why he wants to talk to his wife. Although I'm not quite sure whether it is because he just feels guilty or whether he has a 'dark secret'. *shrug*

But, honestly, the patient had a bezoar in his stomach! That's at least one thing I know, for who doesn't know who read Harry Potter? And I'm a huge fangirl of those books, too. I sat in front of my TV and just thiiied for half a minute. *grins*

And last but not least: House was a cheerleader? House? Cheerleader?! House?!?! Sorry, I'm alright again. I hope. ;)

So, the general feeling this episode leaves behind is: I like the detective. :-D And I hope for more!

Very last thing about the trailer for the next ep: Wilson kidnapping House? Sounds great! *grin*

Even though I've watched the latest ep of  BSG on saturday, I didn't comment it. Well.

I have to say, that I quite liked the flashbacks. Especially those about Laura Roslin. How good she looks there! How happy and healthy! Those are the times when I come to value the capabilities of actors. I also liked the episode with Baltar and Caprica Six. She looks good, too. (I won't talk about Baltar here...) And the scene with Anders is quite revealing, too. I think that was some kind of glimpse of his ancient personality, his cylon personality. And Starbuck! She was sooo happy! Lee, too, that is. When she opened the door for him... wow! Hello! It's a shame those two never got together (except for the night in "Unfinished Business" - I love this episode).
Another thing I wondered about: How did they do it with the hair?! Laura and Anders both have their hair cut off for some time now and in the episode they definitely had their real hair. Did they shoot those scenes earlier? Were they originally in some other episode but they changed their minds? Questions, nothing but questions. (a fangirl doesn't have other worries)

I loved the scene where Baltar tries to persuade Lee. Lee is definitely right and Baltar shows some heavy self-reflection when he realizes he really never did a thing for another person.

Which leads me to the "chosing scene". Aww, such a great atmosphere! The Admiral has such a presence, such authority. Wow. Great actor, btw. ;) It was sooo cute how Laura walked up to Bill, saying "Did you think you could leave me behind?" (or something like that) and he answers "I never thought that.". Awwwww. Awwwwwww! I love those two! And Doc Cottle. I love him, too. He never gets overexcited, he always stays calm. And he's 100% loyal to the Admiral and to the Galactica. (I also love his dry humor ;) )
And, that has to be noticed, Baltar hesitates when there's the time to chose. He is unsure what to do. Like my dearest aunt said, he thinks about doing a selfless thing. But Paula stops him, he holds his jacket. So I think Baltar didn't quite decide what to do, he just stood there thinking and didn't make up his mind before the choosing was over. I really hope my aunt is right in saying he will rush after the Galactica in a raptor or something, save Hera and then die. That would be selfless. And cool.

I also loved the fact, that Lee is back in his uniform. I... didn't like him being a politician, I think pilot suits him better. (also the uniform... ah, I'll shut up). Well. That leaves us with one final question:

How will it end?
 
I can't wait for this weeks episodes! I can't! Sometimes I hate BSG for the cliffhangers, but on the other hand I can't help but love it. Arg. And now it's gonna be over. Well. I don't know what I think about that, but nevertheless. I WANT TO SEE THOSE LAST TWO EPISODES!!! Round about now. (But now I have to get to violin lessons)

Sounds like a nice title for a book. Or a play. Whatever. This is, in fact, a test. It's me testing how I can get the link of my dragcave dragons with a picture and a link to the site without a blue border. Wish me luck!



Ah, well, that was easy. Sometimes it's better to copy+paste the HTML code rather than the UBB code. Even though there's something hidden there. Like in the photobucket HTML codes, where there's a hidden link. That's why I'm normally not using those, but the direct link instead, or in forums the UBB code. But sometimes... you have to remember, that you can always delete the parts that you don't like. ;)

So,  returning to the subject, it would be nice to click this tiny little egg, because otherwise it won't hatch. :( Tragic story, I can tell you. ;) And now, back to usual business.

Too late, I should be sleeping (I'm already in bed, with the notebook on my lap...) BUT I have to blog about BSG. *addict* I just watched the last 2 eps and my favourite quote definitely is:

We need strength! And guns! More guns! Better guns! Bigger guns!
 
Rriiight... You need strength from the inside and... guns? Srsly... But I loved the top the HeadSix wore. So great!
And after all, I can't tell all the sixes apart. Who the frak was the six at the meeting where Anders is in coma or whatever? I don't know! They all look the same! (Obviously)

To bed now. Without guns. (Gnnnn...!)

Instead of doing something really productive today, I went for a walk with my aunt, my sweet little cousin and my grandfather (and the dog. But he doesn't count. He's just annoying ;) ). I also ate too many cake/cookie things (they were just soooo delicious!) and  - best of all - I finished my layout. Some surfing on help communities sometimes really helps. So I've got an image in my header now and I'm happy. I think I'm going to add some things to the menu on the left side, but I'm not sure which things, so I'm gonna leave it for now. Especially because I've got many other things to do. Like watching the last 2 episodes of BSG. I mean the last 2 that were aired. You know.
Buuuut I have to mention that I finally scanned the french vocabulary for my private pupil (does anyone know what "Nachhilfeschüler" is called in English?), which I wanted to do for ages. Well, that's one achievement.
I wanted to cut the fabric for my medieval dress today, but I think I got up too late for that. :(
