want! now!

this is exactly the kind of romantic comedy i need to manage my own totally unromantic and very confusing life – bring it on!

i’ve had dreams like that ever since i was a little girl

by the way, the story behind this: the little girl was adopted by a domestic european penguin family and the relatives are in town to take a look. mom penguin has just cooked breakfast, dad’s been fiddling with his records, the brother has come back from tennis lessons and the little one playing with a toy car (we’re not yet sure, if it’s a boy or girl, it’s hard to tell with penguin chicks) – and you see the two visitors (husband and wife, perhaps and aunt and uncle?) on the left, he’s holding an umbrella (which get’s me guessing, we’re in england) and she is sporting the stylish backback. perhaps they’re on a honeymoon. as you, of course, know, penguins mate for life. they’re a very romantic lot! and imagine the fun, when the girl (her name’s elizabeth) wakes up!

a walk in the park

vampire knits

i really don’t dig vampires, but this is pretty cool and i want it, oh i want it, oh i want it!

also cool – do the vampire knitting type test – i am “a careful, thoughtful knitter, like Edward Cullen or Angel.” – oh great … this just takes me back to:

why, though?

and

damn right!

bandaid ‘n christmas

the classic – it cannot be missing in my christmas music collection

i’ll have myself a merry little christmas present

and get myself an early and most beloved christmas present

might i have some coffee, please

this really has nothing to do with my new-found fascination for anything panda – or has it? – i never really liked pandas all that much – sure, they’re cute and cuddly and endangered, but so are a lot of animals – but ever since this happened, i seem to be attracted to all kinds of things panda, like the slippers or the hat – bur anyways, i’d really like some coffee and breakfast now, panda or not

christmas ‘n teeth

for obvious reasons, as my teeth seem to be of the oponion they ought to cause me trouble my whole life long …

spaceman ‘n christmas

family ‘n christmas

this has quickly become my favourite sentimental christmas song of the year

cowboys ‘n christmas

the new killers song takes its lyrics from a nineteenth century balled and ensuing ball tradition – i find that very intriguing and it makes me like the song even better

by the way, cowboys nowadays always reminde me …

needs a cuddle

sing along to every song

it is a rare occasion for me to be at a concert where i can sing along to every single song – be it that *one night only* does not have more than a couple of dozens of songs out yet or that i am kind of a big fan or that their tunes and lyrics, despite being pretty cool, are also rather catchy … – it really does not matter – last week at the magnet club in berlin, their concert was brilliant

the club was just like you imagine a good old mangy berlin club to be, but, oddly for a tuesday night, it was filled with giggly teenage girls, while the odd father or mother waited in a dark corner, sipping on their beers – i felt a bit over-aged – nonetheless i drifted right into the crowd of not even a hundred enthusiastic fans – the supporting act was surprisingly really good and set the mood just right for the main act – i met *one night only* last year in yorkshire, when they stared down from a billboard in york, which i passed every day – i finally gave in, listened to their single, fell in love and  bought the album, after all, they’re a yorkshire band, and it’s kind of research for me, is it not? – i have listened to their songs regularly and really could sing along most of the time, which was very satisfying indeed, especially since no one knew me there and i wouldn’t have had to be embarrassed about my shoddy singing abilities

disappointingly the concert was over in just a bit over an hour, but then, what can you expect, if the band just does not have all that many songs yet? – i am sure, they’ll keep on getting bigger and one day, i will be able to say i saw them during one of their first tours – it might be like seeing *the beatles* at the star club – one can hope, right?

500 miles

and also, this happened and i watch it at least once a day and sing along all the time – i am amazed how coll this is and, if possible, adore david tennant even more that ever

life is god!

i’ve finally handed in my first chapter and now i am ready for some fun – or rather a day of work, a library date and some rehearsal time – a girl’s got to do, what a girl’s got to do!

food adventures #17

very pleasant for the taste buds

happy birthday, eleven!

i still cannot believe the 900-something year old timelord, otherwise known as matt smith, is actually as old (or should we say young) as i am – that somehow makes me feel really good – have a happy birthday

it’s a swivel chair!

you’re so vain …

… you propbably think this post is about you

just remember, a party is always as good as it’s guests and last saturday was a pretty good party, apart from one person, for whom this song seems to be especially written – someone who is totally prone to think he just needs to beckon and girls will fall over themselves to scramble for him – and actually, very often he is right, but not always, as i am proud to report – needless to add, i sang this song all my way home, being happy with and by myself
