three times shakespeare with steffi

so, tonight, for the third time – it’s shakespeare at the DT with steffi – i can see a pattern here

first there was “The Tempest” – often classified as a comedy, even though it’s something else as well – something more, shall we agree? – and, incidentally one of my favourites

then, there was “Richard III” – definitively a history – not so much a favourite of mine, too complicated, too many dead, too boring all in all – but a great ilja richter made it a night at the plays to remember – read, what steffi had to say: Richard III at it.takes.two.to.tango

and tonight it’s “King Lear” – a tragedy and, incidentally, my first shakespeare, read at the tender age of sixteen, while in english class in canada – five acts, reading one act a week and then taking a test – my, my, the first test was a desaster, but as i mastered the english language, i also mastered shakespearean language – my test results got better and better in an amazingly short time and my love for shakespeare and the tragedies was raised ad infinitum

it’s raining men

up until just now, when i heard it on the radio, i had completely forgotten about a perfectly nice thing someone did for me last week – i was at a party and after a couple of glasses of champagne started to feel a little down – the music wasn’t all that good and i’d been dancing for some time anyways, so i was just sitting there, getting more and more into a depressive funk, when this friend came up to me and suggested we’d dance some more – i really wasn’t up to it, so i said, only to the weather girls, not really thinking anyone would bother – but she went up to the dj and put in a request – and then she made me dance – and everyone else came along as well – i had chosen a popular song and it felt so good – thank you to the dj and that friend (they really saved my life that night)

don’t you ever let the bad days get to you!

who – are – YOU?

seriously, i had an average of 40-50 people visiting my blog each day in the past week – who are you? – if you read this, whether if it is your first time coming across this little nonsensical blog of mine or you are a regular, please leave me a comment and tell me how you’ve come to be here and read what i have to tell

any comment will do, just let me know, why you’re here – if it makes me laugh, well, that would add an extra bit fo flavour, but just a regular hello and where you’re located would be very much appreciated – i so much want to know who you are and what you think – and please, i do take orders! – if you want me to post on something special, just say the word and i’ll consider what i can do – or look at the menu and choose a category you think i’ve been neglecting and i’ll be happy to come up with something

but thank you for reading anyways!

happy unbirthday

pretty good looking

friends are amazing – my best soulmate just sent me the following message

What else...I recently met a Spanish movie actor named Alejo Sauras. He's a friend of a friend.
You should look him up, he's pretty good looking.

i did look him up and it’s true – pretty good looking – that’s a way to wake up on an exciting sunday morning, which – by the way – is filled with anticipation, as you can well imagine

little miss …

little miss-club – wear your badge or pay up :)

dear girls

i miss watching top model with you tonight, but here goes for laughs

chocolate delight

frienemy

the new in-word – used in this week’s gossip girl and greek – it must be something cool to have a frienemy – and there’s even 13 different definitions on urban dictionary – oh my, i guess, i need some frienemies now – any one up for the challenge?

A frienemy is someone, who is your friend but also an enemy. It is a word between love and hate.

girls night in

relaxing and entertaining – after a day at work, coming not-quite-to-my-own-home, but a home nontheless – having dinner cooked and the girls there to take my mind of everything from barbaro to interview from hell – dinner and a movie – chatter and a laugh – girls night in with pasta, cheese-cake, a fun movie (almost, but not quite a chick flick) and chitterchatter – my mind is at ease and i feel strong – i can face all evil from barbaro tomorrow morning to scary politicians on wednesday afternoon – i can conquer all – i’m just too busy being fabulous … once again

wishes fulfilled

my happy-birthday-cake

thanks to two sweet, sweet girls for a lovely cake, a fantastic funny evening and a tinkling tiara, suddenly turning me into a princess and maybe a prince not too far away after all – i know it cannot be a time lord on a white horse, in shining chucks and stripes (as demonstrated here) – but i shall not give up hope quite so easily – and for now, i do have my tardis and time and space travel seems like a good way to spend the time until the prince one his white unicorn decides to come along

my pet dragon

being grown-up has it’s ups and downs – you cannot go around lugging your toy dragon with you wherever you go – but facebook has come up with a marvelous alternative – super poke pets – you can choose from a variety of cute little ones and watch yours grow up among things you buy for it, with money, you earn, when feeding, tickling, bathing or playing with it – you can have playdates with playmates, namely your friend’s pets – my christian gets along rather well with winston the panda and balisto the sheep ;)

and just today i bought lovely new designer sunglasses for christian – doesn’t he look super cool?

friends ‘n fries

today i was shocked to find out something about me and my complicated life – the guy i’ve been crushing on for … well, let’s say a year and we’re almost there, looks exactly like david tennant when he’s got a three-day beard (no kidding it really is three-day beard, how hopelessly unimaginative, huh) – so i do have a type and somehow completely managed to fall for a guy, who looks like my type, but acts … oh so different

this shock had to be overcome and i was sooo glad i had plans for tonight – a friends ‘n fries marathon – eating fries and chicken wings and watching tons of “friends” episodes – i love “friends” and no matter how down or confused or unhappy i am, they always make me laugh

so, here’s to one of my all time favourite shows – the possibly most famous picture of them all

it’ll all be better

when feeling sad and blue, i look at this picture – a little drawing by a good friend to make me feel better – and it really, really, really works
