Yesterday evening we watched Aviator and I was confused more or less the whole time because a) I couldn’t decide whether I liked Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn and b) I couldn’t shake the feeling that Cate Blanchett looked about ten years older than Leonardo DiCaprio which kind of ruined the whole Hughes/Hepburn relationship for […]

I used to listen to music really loud lying on the couch with my eyes closed. I used to listen to music doing nothing else, just lying there. I used to fall asleep halfway through Paula Cole’s This Fire, which, if you know the album, is quite an accomplishment. Why the hell don’t I do […]

I want an armchair. For the bedroom. God knows why you would want an armchair in your bedroom, considering that in most cases you have a bed in there, but the hotel room in Augsburg kind of inspired me there. Also, I think I’m less likely to fall asleep reading in armchair than in bed. […]

Until this morning I regarded this new machine that somehow (and I’m still fuzzy on the details as to how it happened) found its way into the set of kitchen appliances as something utterly weird and suspicious. Why do we have a dishwasher now? What’s a dishwasher good for? I mean washing dishes, okay, but […]

Via srah. My Score: Longcat 85% Affectionate, 43% Excitable, 42% Hungry Protector of truth. Slayer of darkness. Loooooong.

How wrong is it that when Cristina gets freaked out about how Burke has arranged his books using the Dewey Decimal System on Grey’s Anatomy I actually think: „Hey, what a great idea.“ I shouldn’t get my own library room. I’d probably go insane.

Yeah, so, Ehle, I’m all set for the whole taking over the world thing. You free on Tuesday? If not, we can reschedule and all. See you then, Jamie. PS: And what happened to your blog?

I’m writing this from bed. Not because of any particular reason, but because I can. And I can, because I have this awesome shiny new MacBook and now I can do all these things I couldn’t do before. Like brushing up my CSS on the balcony or watching American Idol in the living room and […]

This post reminded me of the fact that I, too, can only wink with one eye. I was surprised to learn that there are people who actually cannot wink at all. Apparently my family has strong winking genes. I am the mutant who can only wink with her left eye. I can curl my tongue […]
