Dad: You sing while driving?
Me: Dad, I don't sing. I perform.
Dad: chuckles
Me: What else am I supposed to do while driving?
Dad: Concentrate on driving...
Me: Well...
Dad: And imitate engine sounds.
Me: LOL

Dear hipster,

I know you feel like a very special snowflake and super intellectual with your skinny jeans and big fake nerdy glasses. But honestly you look exactly like all your other pathetic hipster friends and for fuck's sake if you don't need glasses don't wear them.

No love Jules.

Since the world shows us everyday what a bloody stupid horrible place it can be (Syria, Libya, Japan, etc) I post something that will make your day or at least the next 1:23min of your life more cheerful.

P.S. NO I usually do not watch random youtube videos of babies or animals or whatever the fuck people say you should watch. I am the last person to do this but hello this baby is freaking adorable. Do not argue with me on this one. haha

P.P.S. I find it endlessly fascinating how resilient toddlers are (because this kid brains himself three times while giggling) and how they learn to use minor scratches or bumps as a way to gain attention (because they only cry when someone is looking). You know what I mean?! Kids are awefully manipulative and brilliant. Human behaviour is fascinating. (Did I just turn a cute little video into somekind of sociological thing... *facepalm*

What a beautiful poem.


Scheherazade by Richard Siken

Tell me about the dream where we pull the bodies out of the lake
and dress them in warm clothes again.
How it was late, and no one could sleep, the horses running
Until they forget that they are horses.
It’s not like a tree where the roots have to end somewhere,
it’s more like a song on a policeman’s radio,
how we rolled up the carpet so we could dance, and the
days
were bright red, and every time we kissed there was another apple to slice
into pieces.
Look at the light through the windowpane. That means it’s noon, that
means
we’re inconsolable.
Tell me how all this, and love too, will
ruin us.
These, our bodies, possessed by light.
Tell me we’ll never get used to it.

I just pinched a nerv or a muscles OR SOMETHING between my right shoulder and neck and it hurts like a bitch and I cannot move properly. Plus I have to work tonight: waiting tables with a pinched nerve. YEAH!

Ow.

OMG have you seen this?!
This little fellow is basically living next door. (And I haven't seen it yet. lol)
In Germany live the craziest fortune teller animals. First Paul, now Heidi. And they have these cute German names. lol
ABC actually wanted to fly in Heidi to the US but our zoo in Leipzig politely declined because HELLO?! it's still only a cute little opossum. So no flying around the world if you want to see it come to Leipzig (it's great the zoo has more animals and it's a city full of crazies if you look closely (me!)).

People are watching Youtube videos in the university library. Honestly?!
And I am reading fanfic. Students' minds are in the gutter.

I just changed the topic of my paper for the 1299837 time. HOORAY!

I just watched The King's Speech.

Holy shit, give Firth a fucking Oscar! He's absolutely brilliant - always has been and since the Academy didn't choose him last year they better do it this year.
And another one please for the lovely Helena Bonham Carter (outstanding as usual) and for the great Geoffrey Rush aswell.

Please see my icon: Reality is a nice place, but I wouldn't want to live there. So I watched Inception. Twice.

It's bloody insane how a movie that is actually an action flick can fascinate such a huge amount of people.
So this is my Inception post. If you haven't watched the movie: GO DO SO! And then come back. ;)

Actually I wanted to watch Inception in the theaters but it was released here (Germany) in summer so nobody couldn't be bothered to join me. I got it as a Christmas present - the normal DVD. But Jesus that's the first movie I truly want to watch in 3D (I usually hate 3D) or at least on Blue Ray. Well but no such thing... Anyways...

The movie is definitely an action flick (a pretty brutal one I might say because what they do with the projections is not nice. And killing each other.) and has very little character development (a part from Drom obsly). BUT Nolan planted a fucking huge idea in my head. So simply saying I'm intrigued would be an underestimation. The idea of the movie is simply insane and how it's introduced to us through Dom's previous failures and Ariadne's learning process are fabulous ideas.
Plus everything is very illegal and secret. Hell, they actually steal thoughts in very elegant way! (Brilliant!)
So I loved watching it (both in English and in German).

( onto more rambling about characters and ships )

This fandom owns my soul! Usually I don't get into a fandom based on a movie because it's mostly short lived (the movie itself and the fandom) and most movies do not capture my attention so thoroughly. But Inception does! I even wrote fic. A story in English even!
So I'm in need of a beta reader for a under 2k gen fic. (It's Eames centered. Yeah.) Anybody?!
