Radio, educational, #387
Am I the only Potter reader who didn't know that...
...Grindelwald is actually a town in Switzerland? The radio was babbling on in the background, and then the name jumped out at me. Unfortunately it was not a feature on Dumbledore's love life, but on tourism around the Eiger mountain ( Read more... ) -
Verbose?
Ahem, seems like I've just dropped back in in time to have _inbetween_ point me to the new Pratchett book, of which I've hitherto been blissfully ignorant. Wah, what language. Comes with all the funny opera libretto subtitles...
To buy or not? It's already no.1 on German amazon charts. But it ain't Discworld, and I'm such a horribly conservative creature of ( Read more... ) -

Organisational failure, or Where's My Money Gone? (PMS, TMI)
Sometimes I don't leave the house and feel something between luvverly lazy and totally disgusted at myself. Today I left the house for a variety of destinations, and what good did it do me?

Radio, so enlightening
Random tidbit from the news: Half of the German women and 40% of the German men are overweight. Actually, this bit of news floated around last year already, but this time they also say it's the high level of beer consumption in this country that's at least partially responsible ( Read more... ) -

Oh man. Not that I'd watched any film of his apart from Brokeback Mountain - but to die so young, supposedly of pills? Incredibly sad. RIP, Heath Ledger.
And then a morbid thought: How many people around the world actually die that young too, and the media don't tell me? -
Le Casting...
... so that's that in the hat. Or something. Well they did measure my head. Maybe they'll acquire 1500 extra hats for extra heads. Har ( Read more... )
