Back home
I flew back home to Germany Thursday right after work and had to go to the dentist first thing Friday morning. At lunch, I visited my grandmother, saw my niece (who remembers me!

KOKIA - 0 kara no hajimari (Start from 0)

Speaking of TV shows...
... after watching way too many episodes of Pretty Little Liars lately, now I keep thinking "text message from A!" every time someone's phone beeps on Revenge. X'D I guess the similar premise of the stories doesn't make it any better.
Btw, these Pretty Little Liar recaps are hilarious.
