No Sneakpreview, big change for my Monday-evenings; no cinema, but staying in.
After hanging around I finally got up and went upstairs to watch Buffy...
(why did it take me so long? Sigh)

'Shht, I'm undercover'
'Not under much'

Heh: Xander in sexy speedo's :-)

Happy B-day
Big Three-O for Eric Szmanda:-)

('and the mind gets dirty, as you get closer to thirty';-)
Blur-End Of The Century

Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
11.00 started reading
22.00 finished the book

Wow, just spent three hours writing a rant in my live journal. Hope I don't get banned from the community...

Lazy-->See Live Journal

PMS...

not that one unfortunatly

but the girly kind, grumble

TMI? I'm not apologizing :-p

Woohoo, apparently mom can go online now. According to a comment 'Anonymous' left at my cotw and at Hans' weblog her computer is able to use the cable (heh, made it rhyme:) Now we only have to convince mom to go surfing and to use msn... We are building a religion;-)

Another woohoo: two comments on the test: no surprises so far... What do you score ?

(going for a record number of links today, you can have some cake when you're done surfing;)

Hmmm, I finally figured out why I really like to see CSI-Nick with his glasses on: the first guy I had a major crush on in highschool had glasses, so I guess it brings back sweet memories:-) Weird that I didn't make the connection earlier, they also share the same name... (repressing much, 'cause the memories may be sweet now, it really was hell back then, unrequited love is a bitch;-)

Make poverty history.

The Who ROCKED!
Did you sign the petition for the G8 yet? Yes?
Well, you've earned some fun then;)
Go and do this lovely (and totally off topic) test (fyi, I scored a 2;)

Pay attention, Alanis...

YES: I finally managed to perfect the side-bar: doesn't it look pretty now? (and it only took me a little over a year to figure out how to improve the appearance:-)
Also worked on my other logs: changed the introductions and fixed the scroll-bug, woohoo

But since both problems are gone now, you will probably not notice the difference :-(
Now, that's ironic! ;-)

BTW: the title of that lumberjack-movie I watched last Monday is... the Amityville Horror. A review will be published in My movie-corner soon.

A Sneak peak;-)
How scary is a horror-movie when you just want to see the potential axe murderer do some chopping?.... Can't reveal the name of this film yet, since it is shown as a Sneakpreview until wednesday, hence the anonymous face (like you noticed *g*)
but I think it was supposed to be frightening. HA...

The lamp-experiment...

A few weeks ago the Ikea-lamp in the bedroom started to crack and I had to break the glass to prevent it from falling on my head while I was sleeping. After some creative thinking I came up with the idea to use the front of a clock to replace the original glass and it worked!

tadaah! :-)

I've been spending a lot of time reading pornographic totally innocent CSI-fanfiction that I discovered in some so called 'live-journal'-communities. Some weeks ago I finally had the courage to post a comment, but really hated to be known as 'Anonymous' so decided to start a lj of my own.
I will occasionally be posting there, to keep the thing alive and to experiment with styles. Check out the link!

Woohoo, noticed just in time that 'As If' is on again: every Saturday AND Sunday-afternoon. Great series from the UK (2001) about six teenagers (17 and up) in London. Each episode lets one of them talk about their week. Good stuff...

[complaining about the age of consent in the UK being higher for homosexuals than for heterosexuals*]
Alex: It's a load of crap all this consent lark. Everyone of my mates is getting it, why can't I?

FYI: *Before 2001 the age of consent in England for homosexuals was 18, while it was 16 for heterosexuals. (Lesbians were not mentioned in law...) Now it's 18 for all preferences. More information about critical ages around the world can be found here!

In criminal law, the age of consent is the age at which a person is considered to be capable of legally giving informed consent to sexual acts with another person.

Recorded Manhunter (1986) because of William L. Petersen and rather enjoyed watching a younger version of CSI-Gil Grissom: nice legs:-) even though I didn't really care for Mr. Mann's style: very slow. Managed to fall asleep despite the loud music and intens performances by all involved btw, but finished it the next morning. And a good thing I did watch it until the end, or I would have missed this spectacular bit of translating.

Ehm...
Will Graham (Manhunter): 'Someone should blow this sick fuck out of his socks'
Subtitles in dutch: 'He just needs help'

Sobell, my favourite (CSI) reviewer at Television Without Pity wrote a complete and very funny recap! of this film, I strongly recommend you read it!

Okay, nobody to blame for the lack of posts, except me. Not in the mood, too bussy, my back hurts, ehm, whatever. I will be better in the near future, no really, why don't you believe me?
Watch this space...

You can blame Oscar: I really was gonna work on this log, but then he shows up unanounced for a surprise-visit and we hadn't seen eachother in over a year, so I hope I'm forgiven for totally forgetting about this digital diary? Next weekend will be three days long, so I'll spend some more time here then (unless of course another blast from the past stops by;-)

Woohoo, a four-day weekend:-) What to do with my time?
Maybe (maybe) I'll spice up this blog with some pictures... watch this space...

Am updating my movie-blog (bios) and figured I might as well type something here:) Gonna start my (re)watch of CSI Season 3 on the big screen after this. Did see the two last episodes from Season 5 yesterday (fyi one aired last week en the other one was on last thursday in the US) Didn't care much for the character-episode about Brass and was happy to see a return to the case-based story on episode 21 (Committed), but am desperatly hoping for more team-members to join the last couple of episodes. (fyi put a link to some fascinating CSI-fanfiction on my original blog: cio if you want to know 'what makes the desert beautiful'*)

I also spent some time in the real world this weekend: did two loads of laundry today and managed to make a very professional movie-screen roll-up system in the attic yesterday. Now the enormous space is not only fit to watch movies, but I also created a great place to party with all my friends. (oops, that was another part of virtual life that slipped in there;)

oh well, I like both my pathetic lifes;-)

'For men, what they want from the show is fully aired onscreen, while what women want is in the margins. Fandom is a mixture of fascination and frustration.'
(quote by Henry Jenkins, director of comparative media studies at MIT and author of "Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture" (1992).)

Okay, so I didn't translate my COTW-blog in a while, let me summarize the past few days weeks months: 'Work busy, stupid clients, blah-blah-blah', 'My own attic-movie-theatre CSI -Season2, CSI-Season5, CSI-Season1 and continuing CSI-Season2...', 'Computer Fanfiction: CSI, Nick & Greg, CSI, Nick & Greg, CSI'....
And that's about it (did I mention I kind of became addicted to CSI?) *g*
Anyway, what I meant to say: you didn't miss much if you're not able to read the dutch babbling on the original blog;-)
So in March I went to Londen and saw Joshua Jackson & Patrick Stewart in a play together on Friday, went shopping, to a movie and another play with Kevin Spacey (plus Steven Weber and Mary Stuart Masterson) on Saturday and then back home after hanging out in Camden on Sunday, but that's nothing special, right? <trying to keep a straight face> Bwoohahaha: that was -like- my best weekend EVER! Even though the play with Kevin seemed to be a horrid little comedy act at the start, of course it turned out to be a heartwrenching story with a very emotional ending. He It was great!
And guess what: I will be going to another Spacey-play in London this June. Not promissing to blog about it here, 'cause we all know how much time I spend translating (...), but feel free to ask about it in a mail or comment;-)
Going to update my movie-blog next (another one I neglected the past few weeks...) Later!
