Just finished the last one of my bookmarks. (the ones I give away)

From originally 3 they summed up to 5, cause the Kiwi wanted one too and then I fiddled another one for a friend. :)

Gonna scan them tomorrow.


And now I gonna make one for myself. :)

Currently I'm in a café in the inner city of Augusta. Was doing some shopping after friday lecture and now I'm feasting over some zucchini wrap(yummy) and coffee(good).

Lecture was fun - my teacher praised me for being a good student who listens and thinks while scribbling notes(and scribbling fan fiction. Man, I'm good. doing four things at once. And only ONE not study related.) - thing was, he mentioned Henri Murger in his yesterday lecture. And said Muger would praise the bourgeoisie in his novel "Scenes de la vie de Boheme"
(my pride as Bohemien was hurt. So I had a nice and friendly discussion with him about the novel he never read *sighs* and today I brought him my copy - the old one in fractural typography. (old enough that "Boheme" was translated with "Gypsies", which actually was the origing of the term) - he was baffled. I like baffling my teachers in a nice way. :) He has time til the end of semester. Then he has to offer me an essay.

After that I accompanied Kathi on her way into town, then bought some drawing inks I need for making Christmas presents.

Thing is, there's someone I wanna present with a little set of self made book marks and thus I needed some ink. White, black, red, golden. :3 - and I found some really exquisite... aw, I LOVE the crimson I bought... soooo so rich! I can't wait using it... and the golden one!!!! OH, I know THAT will be gorgeous. :3
And I really hope the person will like it. :)

(my teacher liked the one I did for him - as a little making up for forcing him into reading. :) )

(Ah, that is something I actually like about christmas. The making of presents. :) )

Right now I'm munching on home baked bread.
Tasty.

Although I have no mixing machine and nothing to measure the water correctly.
My flour was not enough to get the dough properly non-sticky.

The bread looks like a turtle.
The crust is as hard and thick as a turtles shell.

But aside of that - YUMMY! (good thing I LOVE crusts)
Our whole kitchen smells like a bakery... Natty, one of my two co-tenants was delighted and promised me to bring her bread baking machine next time she's at her parents place, so we could bake some bread four the three of us together. Would save money indeed... while power is quite ceap for us here(green energy is fun) the prices for baked bread are... well. Let's say, a baker is not vquite cheap as we know. But if you calculate how much he wants for a pound and how much the same pound would cost in the super marked, already sliced and packed up... (they only sell something about half a pund that way)

So baking bread. YAY! Home baked bread is wonderful... with some fresh butter, melting on warm bread... and a cup of coffee...

That's what heaven is about. :)

There is NOTHING I could add to that. :)

Anyone interested in fan fiction to "Treasure island" and "Treasure planet"?(The film I love so much.)

Cause no matter what xou say, I' currently writing.
(And no. It is no way of mine to protcrastiante working on my exposee.)

I mean... Jim. On a military academy. Can you imagine?
I see great stories.
And I gonna write at least one.

(and for Treasure Island... well. A weak point for Silver. And the parrot Cpt. Flint.)

I recently found out Disney still does pretty nice films nowadays(I always thought the last good ones were Pocahontas and Mulan)

Just watched "Treasure Planet"...
Well, what can I say?
It is a very nice adaption of Stevenson. Modern. Suiting for modern, sci-fi-loving kids - maybe it even gets them reading the story.
I just love the Character concept of Jim, the idea of strengthen the "growing up"-aspect of the original story and - in the row of that - the relationship he and Silver develop. (Disney did well making him fat, old and ugly. Prevented me from developing even more pairing ideas - for this I stick with the novel. *whistles*)
And have I meantioned I ADORE Captain Amelia? That kickass feline is SO much EPIC WIN...

Aside of that - the music is awesome. Listen to it - it is a wonderful typical pirate movie sound but quite different from that PotC-style. Much brighter and lighter and in this way much more dynamic... (plus the two songs sung by John Rzeznik are adorable. "Always know where you are" always makes me want making an AMV with clips from the Fullmetal-Alchemist-movie. So perfect.)


All in all - this film gives me hope. Maybe Disney still is able to make good movies... although TP truly is one of the last good ones I saw.

I got my new notebook yesterday.
And ah, how wonderful it works. :D (I'll have to get a bag for it so I can take it with me. It's sooo... adorable) 

Posting it here cause I highly doubt it would ever connect to my profound career as author. ^^°
(I typed it directly in my notebook - which is strange. Even stranger - it popped up in my head right in English.



( Mere instinct )

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands that you've had an (obsessive) fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.

2. Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item.

3. When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

Have fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
other news - I'm horribly hoarse today. Might be a side effect due to the recent stress.(study colleagues suck. Uni is nice but stressy. And then the cancer thing. My body has nice ways telling me to shut up.)

Just ordered my new notebook... soon I'll have an internet access that even WORKS.
*happy*
It was HIGHEST time. (I'll post some photos of my current computer soon. :) )

I'll go writing on the essay Aryana demanded. :) 

Well - anytime I read a new chapter at onemanga.com I feel duped.
They end after a few pages.
It's kinda enervating cause you ALWAYs just get little tiny bits of 10, maybe 12 pages...

CLAMP!!!!!!

 

Produce longer chapters! Immediatly!
(and continue "Kobato" too! And finish X/1999 for mokonas sake! !!! 


(anyone knowing CLAMP hopefully gets the pun)
 

As I promised a while ago - I finally came to post this meme.

If you've ever watched your favorite dvds, and then found yourself eager to hear exactly what the actors, directors, writers and even production designers thought about making the episode, the movie, or whatever - you'll know sometimes the best parts of dvds are hearing the commentaries. Getting into an actor's feelings about the character they play, getting the background behind a writer's plans and metaphors, even just getting the stupid anecdotal stuff that makes you laugh, it's all good.

Ask me about any story, and I'll do a DVD commentary for it! Satisfy your curiosity!



Stolen from moon_maiden36
...

So well. I'm awaiting your questions. :)
(Note - I also posted it on my manja_siber -blog)

Signed in for Italian lesson. YEZZZZZZ - so my shedule is full now. YEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...  I just have to re-write it clean and nice and pretty.
But so far - I got almost all the classes I need for Cultural history(main study branch), including my language. The one class I still need is offered next semester.
Then I managed two courses for Literature studies(side study branch) at least I hope - I missed the first lecture of one, hope teacher's kind to still let me in)
The other ones(six) I can't take cause main study is more important - and they have to offer classes for side study every semester so I can do that then.

Best thing is - I managed to get enough courses to have my 30 CP for this semester(if I pass. I intend to pass)

Right now life looks like it holds a lot of stress for me.
But Somehow I like that. I like stress. At least when it makes me productive and creative. (Studying always had that effect on me)

Then...
Went to the doc cause my sneezing and snuffing and closed nose pissed me off.
1st: Cronic infection of the minor nose holes. Got antibiotics and cortison. If that does not help... well. I'm kinda experienced with surgeries.
2nd: ... I always was kinda proud to be not part of the big anonymous mass of allergic people.
... Hahaha.


Oh.
And I bought books.
Way too many as my bank account never gets tired to tell me. -__- But... but... I need them!
Is there someone presenting me with some expensive books? Pleeeeeeezzzzzeeeeeee... ;)

Finally arrived in Augsburg. Internet is not connected yet but it will take only two weeks as co-tenants mom says. Did not see so much of her yet.

Right now I'm sitting in a internet café typing this.
Feeling exhausted. It takes 30 minutes to the city with my bike. Tomorrow I'll find a good way to the campus(I hope)
Will cycle back in a few minutes.

Pictures are to follow. :3

Oh... and I have to watch out if I find some wine(good joke. THIS time of day On satuday. hahahaha)... feel like in the mood for some good, tasty drink after cleaning, packing out and ordering.

... just thought I let you hear I'm still alive. Although buried in work and tasks considering loans, moving, writing...

And I was in Erfurt last week. Visting my dear, dear Tesla, biding farewell to  my beloved hometown of the last three years...
We had a nice time, cosplaying as kitties and roaming the streets. Was fun.

Next week - moving. Finally. And thank god we'll take the car dad has for work(a yellow transporter) instead of the little red VW (Mom seriously thought this would do it. Wonder what she was thinking.

After moving - University.

I'll let you know how it is. :)

I decided.
Remember my talking about Beauty&the Beast?

I always was especially fond of the scene when Belle walked trough town, nose in a book...

Happened today.

I just bought Cornelia Funkes "Inkheart"(German original version), went out of the bookstore, flipped it open...

And walked down the street, reading.
Read while I did my shopping.
Read while I walked back to the tram.

And nothing happened  to me. ^^
Yes.
I really love those days.
(and I soon gonna review on this book)

Have a place to live.

A new founded tenant-community(of three girls.)

The landlord / landlady was nice enough - had quite strict restrictions - female, non-smokers, no pets(;_;) - no music instruments in the flat *sighs*(but well this I have to clear up with my co-tenants)

My room... well. I somehow like it.
Bright.
Big, 16qm.
With furniture(with somehow bothers me. I loke having my OWN furniture. Things I got from people I love. Or bought myself... Gonna ask landlady if I can get the furniture out and my own stuff in - I don't feel well if it is foreign furniture that surrounds me(also cause of the "destroying" factor - I have thr tendency to spoil furniture a bit and I don't feel well doing it to one that does not belong to me).

A good way off from the city and uni... but well. Once I have a bike again I think I manage again(have opportunity to get one soon. If not - well. Take an old one and do some fiddling). And I have grocery shopping opportunities close by. 
So everything is fine with me. 
I'll move in first weekend in october. And then I still have time for finding me a job which pays my rent and my other bills(don't wanna trust on college fees). Would like to have one where I can improve my skills in... whatever language I gonna learn.



Somehow I actually start looking forward to it.
Which seemed quite impossible for me til now for I really, really hate the thought of leaving Erfurt... but well. I gonna get finished soon. And then come back. 

Was glad about my new start of uniersity.
Til I read the examination laws for my studies.

I need:
Latinum
2 modern foreign languages(means: no German, No latin, no old Greek, no other dead language. And no invented one(too sad. My Eriati would've saved me ;)) 
Those two have to be on level B1 - means at the same level as at least three years  of school education in this language(degree: average. At least)


Which means:
I have the Latinum.
I manage a very good English(thanks to reading a lot in English and blogging a lot ;). ).

What I need: a second language...

Not sure yet wether I take Italian, Spanish, Frech or Russian... or Japanese...
The first three have the advantage that they base on latin(especially Italian) which would it make a bit easier to learn.(I made my way through Venice with my LAtin dictionary and my ear or Italian pronounciation and intonation). Russian... well... I AM quarter Russian(you see it in my face - and even more in my drinkng habits - I can take a good deal. Not sure wether it is a good thing). My gramps still speaks it fluently(so does my Grand aunt who complains about my unexcistent ability to say more than "Dostivantje" and "Nastrovje") My parents also could help(had it in school and would be more than happy to reanimate their skills)
Japanese... did I mention I ALWAYS wanted to learn Japanese? I already started here in Erfurt... but somehow... 

I still have a few weeks to decide. 

Got immatriculated on the university of Augsburg today.
Gonna start Oct. 12.

YAY!

Not so YAY - still no place to live.  

Right now I feel a bit melancholic.
I'm moving, away from Erfurt. And well... my room in the dorms empties with every day(I throw out old furniture) - and my life - anything that I connect with it - dissappears in carton and becomes ordinary luggage. It feels weird.
All of my books and manga are already  packed - 8 cartons of different sizes(I wont do any repacking.)
So are my notebooks and my writing tools I not neccessarily need.
My walls are emptied, posters and pictures are in their cylinder.
*sighs*
When my parents come to pick me up I don't want them to work too much... I wanna do this quickly before I start crying. 
I love Erfurt, moving away hurts like hell - I made a lot of friends here, some very dear to me - the city is wonderful. I'll mis the Kramerbrücke, the Goldhelm(chocolate), the Nerly, the Modern Masters... I'll miss my strolls in the city, the bookshops, the parks, I'll miss the Gera(a river that's made of branches ans arms and goes through the whole town, causing the existence of so many bridges)...

But well... let's move on.
I still need to do laundry(a good deal of my clothes need it and I don't wanna pack them up dirty)

And I need to clean the room a bit - mom comes next sunday for a sleepover before we take a trip to Augsburg where I gonna live.(immatriculating, looking for appartments, a.s.o.)
And mom... well. She likes anything clean and nice and I prefer things a bit messy and chaotic - but to prevent arguments I clean up. *sighs*

Back to work.
