weird end Log: #0114 - [2004-12-31]

new year - different this time

something new? :
· dont ask


So, X-Mas was early this year, lots of little presents for and from me got exchanged and all that stuff. Tom forced me to settle on two new toys which we tried out later too. Fun stuff after all *nods*
Silvester we spent playing DDR for quite a while and then I had to work most of the time anyway, so no long partying or staying up until 3 am.

There was this Seaquake + Tsunami tho. Settling on donating some money, I really felt better. Even if it wasnt much. However, I didnt really let it blue out the days. Sorta, out of sight, out of mind, i guess. Not really, but its still a weird feeling thinking about that. Hm.


This year was quite weird. Thinking backwards, I settled on a Job besides Uni which opened a new world for me. I mean, real work. I worked before, before I started studying, but that wasnt the same. Some sorta Government-financed idea to keep those busy who have to pass on a study-spot. Personally, I just needed the cash to get my own flat going and all that, since only the male citizens are forced to do that.

Before that, I kinda settled on Ragnarok Online. PSO sorta died around March this year, since then I tried to perfect myself in C-Mode (however you'd define perfection, I went as far as I could being on my own and joining random japanese teams. Without being cocky, I have to say I usually was not the worth player in the team...) and then settled on collecting TP and HP materials... Boring. So the switch.

I'll be still playing I guess. On demand. Have to work something out later tho.


Uni went so so. Not really ok, not really bad. Right now I slowed it down a bit. Its really helping on the mind. Lately the whole thing was really annoying me to bits...


Privately... Well, Tom and I sorta... get together like a Zipper does. I even tried to provoke bad athmosphere on purpose and wow, like Grass in the wind, bows but doesnt break. My best female friend promissed to at least mail me from where she lives now. Her mom, who'd be my R-mom, kinda adopted me as replacement daughter *laughs*. Its a good feeling, something that was new to me before. hmmm... Then, I cancelled my contract for my very own flat and moved in with Tom. Lets see if we need a bigger appartement or can manage to not get on eachothers nerves (if that's even possible).


Technically speaking, a nifty little router, that allows two PCs to be online at the same time revolutionized our life. Only letdown would be that electricity has gotten more expensive and its price will even rise further in the next few months... meh... -_-;


So, sorta my 2004. I hope the best for 2005, but also expect some pushbacks.
Anyone reading my site, best wishes for your new year, may your dreams come true.

RO is fun, yes. Soon, soon, maybe when I have a few more days off I'll think about a nice way to build that part of my life into this site as well. Besides this, I still play PSO, yes sir.

Since there is X-Mas soon, I was watching X-Men 2 again for giggles. Still a boring and disappointing movie.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Ghan (or for more western tongues: 'sometimes happy, sometimes sad') is a way better movie, 3 and a half hour long, full with serious interpersonal problems, family, crying men, crying women, many songs and lots of jokes as well as a very satisfying ending. The Soundtrack for it is very recommended as well. Indian cinema in perfection.


X-Mas will be on 23rd this year - well, at least for me and my bunch of people. R-Mom decided (partly because we all had a free friday as well as I having to work on sunday) to do the presenting today. Fun fun, I'll have a little dinner, then all that stuff I decided on *laughs*

This also will mean that I'll be available on AIM and all the other messengers pretty soon, since a shiny new USB stick will replace my decayed ZIP-Drive pretty soon.


Well, anyone, have a nice X-Mas.

watching a good bond movie... bond movies are good? Log: #0112 - [2004-12-14]

usually its mustard...

something new? :
· nothing much


So, there I was watching 'the Core' lately. Hearing much about this movie from deep down the script-gutter, I was kinda curious about how bad it really was. So yeah, the physical background is ridiculous. The Characters are generic, the whole thing a joke. So, why bothering. Neat effects. Thats all about it, and many things 'lend' from the Jule Vernes-Classic.
Waste of Time.


Besides this, Terminator III
Hm, having seen part 2 again after all those years I was really disappointed of it. Sure, Robert Patrick in his best role, defined coolness as it is. But the whole thing was so cheesy. Weird that I didnt notice it back then...

T3 at least takes itself not serious from the very first minute. Never laughed that much in an actionmovie. The T-X did a good job (kinda reminded me to Carrie from 'King of Queens'), the ending was cheap (boo, no real fight) and the CG-effects kinda... well, too matte...

All in all, both movies are raping the wonderful first one.

life goes on, no... sprints off Log: #0111 - [2004-12-13]

mustard or ketchup?

something new? :
· nothing much


so...
days were wearing me out pretty much. plus, RO is time consuming too.
X-Mas ahead is also calling out for a few hours spent. People want presents, I myself have to settle for a game since R-Mom said she'd treaten me one.
Soon soon, cashflow will raise and I'll have to figure out what to do with all the money. Getting my drivers licence? But what for... I dont have a car, i dont like them, plus they're incredibly expensive...


incredible...
The Incredibles!
Awesome movie. In the middle of it, I forgot that it was animated. I was just following the story. Wow, great stuff. Definitely not a children's movie - so many deaths, so focused on adults. I loved the Mom, Elastigirl. Great character, if not maincharacter.
It's definitely a must have on DVD because... the only bad thing about it was the german dub. That one was awfully made... bad cast as well... poo poo poo...


Another movie: Return of the King (why, Lord of the Rings of course). Wow. Extended Version, full 4 hours. Fascinating thing especially when you see through the whole thing. All the World War memories shimmering through most scenes.


We finished the day with Sen to Chihiro and 'the Score'. Do I have to repeat that Edward Norton is a real good actor? And not just good looking but very talented!


besides this, working on weekends (on weekends 8 hours, on weekdays 4 hours) is definitely revolting my whole schedule. Since Uni is rather... well... easily skipped and delayed, work is the exact oposite. I have to work when I'm supposed to, not when I feel like it. That's almost something new to me *laughs*
