Oh, and have this post from lamebook.com, it always makes me laugh :)

Posted just a quick update on LJ, if anyone's interested :)

Oh, and btw, tuck talked about Garfield Without Garfield before, and now I found a video, with the song of They Might Be Giants (one of my newly-aquired fav bands).

Comment if you like, where you like.

Well, if Hugh Laurie's doin' it, then I did it too.

Moi, aged 8 or 9, posing with a snake :)

It's a holiday in Croatia
It's tough, kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Croatia
Don't forget to pack a wife

Yes, I'm aware of the fact that it doesn't completely fit. But to hell with it...

I got strangely attracted to livejournal recently, so I'm posting there.

Cheers, you guys!

I just broke the cycle of song lyrics for titles :) If you happen to know one talking about tv.com blogging, please let me know. They also censored my topic *G*, but that's understandable.

As I may have mentioned, tv.com sucks, so I posted on livejournal.

Comment wherever you like.

Cheers guys! ;)

June 19th 2009 - There's a sunny beam coming this way!

There's been plenty of causes for celebration yesterday. Not that one actually needs a reason, though.

HOLY COW, LOOK AT ALL THOSE F***ING INDIANS !!!

No, wait! Not holy cow, but Holy Lever 10! Not that I care about rank, of course ;) But I do believe a landmark should be mentioned.

Speaking of landmarks there:

25 YEARS ANNIVERSARY...

...of the birth of my sister. :) My older sister turned a quarter of a century old yesterday. I wanted to get her a copy of '1984', but I don't think she likes that sort of books.

THIS IS THE END

Finally. I honestly thought this day would never come. Exams are over - school is over! Exams went so-so, but one thing I'm sure I did very good (other than English :P) is French. And that's more or less all that counts. In any case, it is a real celebration cause.

SO WHAT COMES NEXT?

What came next, to be precise, is what we did yesterday. Eleni, Hélène, and me did a whole little ritual. Mostly planned by the said Hélène since it was her last day of school ever. We went to a park in the afternoon. Eleni brought her stuff that she legally (apparently to her that's very important) bought in Amsterdam and then we played dice poker. :lol: Not only was it amazing, but I won too! :D

Then we went here

(fancy, eh?)

to see the animated version of Animal Farm. I'm still extremely pigophobic, if that's a word. Hopefully it will fade. :)

Afterwards we continued on to the bars. Ends of the school-year and birthdays only happen once a year, don't they?

I wish you all a very happy weekend! :)

Last week, me and my Austrian friend Eleni

were talking about her coming over to my place to watch Wall-E.

"Sorry about yesterday, I forgot to call you," she said.

"No problem. Want to watch it during the weekend then?"

"Oh, I can't. There's a chess marathon all weekend. You wanna come along?"

"Chess marathon? I think I'll pass, thank you."

"No, not chess," she was already getting a little annoyed. "Chess!"

"Er..." It seemed like I was mocking her, but I honestly didn't get it.

"You know... Music, jamming..."

"Oh, jazz! I'd love to go!"

"Yeah, chess, that's what I said."

So, Saturday night, we set out. I was even wearing my jazz shirt from another festival. It says JAZZ on it, you know. First, me and another two girls came to Eleni's house to eat. She made some sort of purple pasta, which was completely amazing.

We hung around there a little longer than expected, so we didn't leave for the concerts until almost 9:30, but it didn't matter - we had a bit of our own jam session at home. :)

We went to this open air thing at first. It was very relaxed. Here - look for yourselves:

Aren't the policemen's hats just wonderful? One even tapped his foot along the music for a little while. Either that or he was squishing a bug. Speaking of bugs, we saw this little guy hanging mid-air.

I think s/he got the best view.

Afterwards we went to this indoor place. The music was even better, but it was a bit too dark and smokey for me to get a good picture. Nevertheless, I got one of the ceiling.

And as I was uploading this picture, I noticed that the white tray in the middle is a brand of Croatian beer I named one of my dogs after. Funny, isn't it? :)

I thought that, considering the number of pictures I take all the time, it's only fair to share a few with you guys.

So, here's to long weekends (which I happen to having right now). Cheers! :)

Oh how I love holidays! For the past week and a half I've been doing absolutely nothing. :) And I'm as happy as a pig in poo. The weather's been really nice, springtime, etc.

So for the first week, everyone is out of town, and I was here all alone *gets her violin*, so I was pretty much camping out at the cinema. I watched Milk, Monsters vs Aliens, and The Wrester (that one wasn't my idea). I absolutely loved every moment of Milk. And one small part made me sniffle :) I'm going soft... And I also went alone for the first time in ages. It felt rather good, actually.

Monsters vs Aliens I also really liked. I mean Stephen Colbert as the president :lol: And Kiefer Sutherland. Of course, I don't even have to explain all of my joys of Hugh Laurie being it it, right? ;) Oh, and for the record Insectosaurus is THE cutest thing ever! (My friend kept calling him disgusting. That's just rude).

Now about The Wrestler... Man, that was bad. Even the guy I went with admitted it was bad (and he made me go in the first place). First half of the move I admit I kept my eyes closed. :oops: As I said, I'm soft. And the other stuff was... just not developed enough. Everything was so shallow and then it ended and we went like "wtf?!".

And I also journalised (is that a verb yet?) a little bit. I wrote a small article for some online news site. I'll just leave it at that. I do not wish to be the third generation of journalists in my family. I refuse.

Only bummer is I got plenty of stuff for school to do. Most of it is going well except English. It's been driving me completely insane since I got here. First of all, they're given the questions in English, and then answer in French! And then people get all shocked how school kids don't speak English right. Another bit that's been bothering me is that in French we don't do almost an literature that wasn't written in French. If I happen to mention anything else, I all get is "Yes, it exists, but we don't do that here". Well, I finally got my wish granted and we are to read Shakespeare. And in English. Yay. And then I saw what it was. Six plays, butchered into 10 pages, in simplified language. Midsummer Night Dream looks like a really bad fairy tale. Now I'm about to start Taming of the Shrew and Othello. How either of that can be put in 10 pages, I have no idea. Worse yet, I have to summarise it in 2 handwritten pages. Blasphemy!

Phew, glad I got that out of my system.

Raining pretty bad up here so I'm staying in tonight.

Oh, and I was gonna say - I'm sorry I haven't commented on blogs much. "Submit" button never works the first time I click. Then I get annoyed, start clicking more times, and then it posts the thing like 5 times. So to save everyone's comments from getting spammed... Anyway, tuckgraph, I still can't stop looking at that plate of yours :lol:

Take care, y'all! :)

I do! At least I did, last night. :) My dad's been talking about how he wanted to see it since there was first talk about it coming out. So I just couldn't deny him the pleasure, could I? :P Anyway, I just adored it! Every minute of it. Well, except those few really violent scenes. Well, I guess I am little soft when it comes to puring boiling oil on someone's face... But other than that, fantastic. I honestly didn't think a movie that good could be made based on such a complicated comic book.

Lots of stuff going on since I last wrote here... Been to Serbia for about a week during the holidays, it was good. Two of friends (one of them being my best friend) had 18th birthday parties :) I'm proud to say I was really responsible and didn't get all that drunk at all. Besides, it was waayyy more fun taking pictures of other people being really drunk.

Right after I came back we had two-day school trip, to a middle of nowhere. Dom Something Spiritual Center, where the point was to meet each other a little bit better. And we did. We had a few nice workshops, and then they had us watch Into The Wild (and it wasn't dubbed!!!). But what marked the whole thing for me, I think, was a Polish guy called Bartholomew teaching (in his own words) Belgian folk dancing. Only it was to techno. Funny how some people were advanced... :)

Oh, and this weekend I went to Amsterdam to see an art exhibition. In my limited opinion of art - it was a nice exhibition, with nice wine and an even nicer party afterwards. :) Just kidding of course, I do think it was nice, and the guy gave me a paining of his, as a gift, that he promised moths ago, if I stay in this part of Europe for long enough to see it. And I also met some very interesting people. :) A guy on the train who comes form the same place in Massachusetts where I ues to live. and girl my age, whom I definitely plan to visit again.

That's about it, lovely monologue I had here :)

Take care, y'all, I hope you're all doing well.
