Obligatory World Cup post
I seriously doubt that Germany will make it very far this time in Brazil and I have come to hate Public Viewing - so strictly speaking I should have nothing to do with the World Cup. Yeah, wrong. This is the country that switched airport TVs at the baggage claim to soccer during the last World Cup and that had the captain of my flight make an ( Read more... ) -
Agents of SHIELD
I phased out of so many fandoms, I don't even watch much TV at all nowadays. I resist the constant nagging of the BF to start Breaking Bad and German public broadcasting has overtaken me with Sherlock (oh, the shame). I just can't seem to muster enough strength to keep track at all. Much easier to still binge on Avengers fic and old Iron Man comics ( Read more... ) -
About that cave rescue going on
While this is certainly very dramatic (it took the rescue team 10 hours to get down there today), I cannot help but chuckle a little that they apparently named the cave complex Riesending. I imagine it might sound somewhat nice to foreigners, and it was certainly the first thing that came to the explorers' minds when they realized how big it was, ( Read more... ) -
Things that amuse me
For example, this review for The Compact Oxford English Dictionary (they had me at the supplied magnifying glass, but scared me off as I saw the price). -
OH MY SWEET LORDS OF HELL WHY WASN'T I INFORMED OF THIS?
Hellblazer TV series - this fall on NBC
*flails*
THIS LOOKS ACTUALLY AS IF IT'S TRUE TO THE COMICS FOR A CHANGE - HE IS BLOND, HE IS BRITISH; HE WEARS A TRENCHCOAT AND HE HOPEFULLY ALSO KNOWS HOW TO PRONOUNCE HIS OWN NAME - THAT'S ALL I EVER WANTED (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, KEANU REEVES)!!11! I might also silently hope he has a tree tattoo on his ass ( Read more... ) -
Sausage beats cheese
This is why there is Eurovision.
Not for the songs or the weird shows, it's for a bearded guy in a dress who sings his heart out and consequently gets votes from all over Europe (even Russia).
It doesn't get cooler than this, this is so awesome I don't have words. Well done, Austria ^^ -
I've got love for you if you were born in the 80ies
So, I'm reading Iron Man comics now, like all of them, because that's what you do when you have a tablet and your BF, er, procured them for you ( Read more... ) -
Did I mention how much of a fangirl I am of RDJ
Because this is what he does when it's his birthday and the US opening of Captain America 2. Also, you know, he basically is Tony Stark. -
Captain America - the more coherent rambling - er, review
You have to ignore that short entry from yesterday, my brain was too busy processing two hours of THIS to function properly. SERIOUSLY, WHO HAS MUSCLES LIKE THAT? Muscles like that make smart girls very, very dumb. HE'S NOT EVEN MY TYPE BUT THEN HE DOES THAT THING WITH HIS EYES AND I'M SO DEAD.
Ahem, anyway. ( Does anyone actually still read these? )
