New news site!! -> HERE ;)

Alex and I are leaving for Bonn tomorrow afternoon.  
We'll meet with my best friends and it's gonna be fun fun fun as always....

We will stay at the Maritim Hotel in Bonn - as VIP guests 
 .. wahhh.. can't believe it! Looking forward to the sauna, the pool and the
 cocktail bar - last time my friends and I had a great time there and I think, 
 the cocktails had a little bit more alcohol in them as usual ;))  It's good to 
 have friends everywhere in Germany and around the world.

Speaking of that - I just found out that one of my best friends (during school) opened her own Café, the "Helena Bay Café", in New Zealand! During our last years at school we went out every weekend Thursday till Sunday - wild times :)))
So I will make sure to stop there when I get to visit this beautiful country. Look at this view!!! Julia I envy you ;)

That reminds me - Jack!! - you still owe us a slideshow evening about your New Zealand trip! *g*

 
I went through some old photos today and found a lot of memories. I told you about a course I took 9 years ago - it was for students who wanted to become journalists. We were invited by the "Konrad Adenauer Foundation" near Bonn. I learned a lot and made some good friends. Anke if
you read this some day - miss you!

Enjoy the photos HERE 
  

Now it's really autumn. We have the first heavy rainstorm - but it is still way too warm for this time of the year.

In a week, it's Halloween. 
I am thinking about going somewhere special - like Burg Frankenstein. I guess it's a lot of fun - check out their website here ! But I am not sure yet. Maybe I stay home and just light my Jack O'Lantern. 

Alex and I are going to visit some of my friends over the weekend 
We will stay in Bonn for one night, have dinner at a great Chinese Restaurant (which is actually a ship) and hopefully share some cocktails afterwards. Looking forward to this!

Otherwise I am very busy at the moment studying. It's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. My first "real" class begins on 7th December and I am already excited! *g*


 But in the meantime I wish you
 a lot of fun decorating your house 
 the scary way ;)

 
Most of you know that I was born in Romania and lived there for about 4 years. I just received some beautiful photos today and I thought, I share them with you. You can enjoy them: here.

  Funny enough, I spent the last night looking for photos and stories about 
  Transilvania - what a coincidence :)

  I'm thinking about traveling there next year.... hm...we'll see.  

I had a nice weekend, shopping, taking walks, going to my favorite café aaaand  watching Oprah over and over again *g* "What do we want to do?" "Let's watch Oprah!"

Btw. Alex, I promised you to upload our California presentation. It's a zip file - just safe both ppt and song in the same folder. Check out this LINK on Tuesday morning ;)

I took a test today : The Greek Mythology Personality Test (here)

My result:  Proteus 33% Extroversion, 13% Intuition, 72% Emotiveness, 38% Perceptiveness Changing your shape to suit your situation, you are most like Proteus. More than anything else, you need to be wanted. You have a very strong work ethic, and are very adaptable, but are often unappreciated. You develop very strong personal loyalties, and will often maintain these personal relationships at a great expense to yourself. Convention and conformity are very important to you, and you find deviations from either to be very inappropriate. You tend not to burden those around you with your own problems. Famous people like you: Mother Theresa, Jimmy Carter

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on Extroversion You scored higher than 99% on Intuition You scored higher than 99% on Emotiveness You scored higher than 99% on Perceptiveness

 
Today was another gorgeous day and time to visit my favorite place. It is a glade in the forrest near my hometown. As a child/teenager I always thought of this place as being enchanted. I imagined fairies, trolls and dwarfs living in the big trees, wholes or flowers. The atmosphere at this glade is so peaceful and it is so quiet that you hear the leaves of the trees blowing in the wind. And this place is home to the most beautiful tree worldwide!

I love this place and it is very special to me. 
That's why I only take very few special people there. But I can share some photos with you:   *my secret place* 

However with all these new TV series which started during the last weeks, I spent more time in front of the DVD player than outside *lol*
Battlestar Galactica - the third season made its debut the last week! Yipeeehhh! And LOST also started with the 3rd season. And there is more: The Nine, Studio 60, Jericho, Heroes, Brothers&Sisters, Vanished .... wow so many new series to watch! And then there also is CSI, Gilmore Girls, Desperate Housewives.... - how do I find time to watch all this? Well, I guess my DVD collection will grow and grow and grow   

I felt better today, so I had the chance to enjoy the sun. It was such a beautiful day today, sunny, not too cold... and it seemed like "Flight Day" in Reichelsheim. Have a look ;)

And as I looked out of my window yesterday I saw this in the sky ... it was only a very small rainbow, but the colors were intense! Isn't it beautiful?

What else is new? 
Oh yes! We really booked and made a downpayment for our Florida Thumb villa and I just signed the contract today - so there's no way back now! *yipeeeh*

 Oh and I finished my first  christmas project:
 Meet the Snowman Cotars! *g*
 It was a lot of fun stiching these little guys. And I also finished some christmas 
 presents, but of course I won't post them here .. I know who reads my blog *gg* - sorry guys ;) 

 
Me is sick. *sniff*   
Wanted to leave for the weekend but I can't. Instead I will lay on the sofa, light some candles, make some tee and cuddle with my nap blanket and watch DVDs....

UPDATE:
watching the Star Trek Christie's Auction in New York online... what prizes!!!!! WOW!! It's amazing!!! They just sold a Voyager model for 110.000 Dollar!!! 
If you want to watch the auction as well: *click here*

Funny, I saw the German guy I met in Las Vegas sitting in the room in NY - it's a small world *gg* And of course I've already spotted the Okudas in the audience... I wish I could be there as well, although there is no chance I could bid on anything *gg*

      Time for some Russell moments ;) 
      As you all know I love this guy *g* 
      He is by far the best actor of our time.

Now he just finished one of his new movies called "A good life". The story revolves around a London banker who moves to Provence after inheriting a vineyard. But when he arrives, he meets a California woman who claims that 
she owns the place.
You can watch the trailer: here, you'll find more info about this great movie:
here and more stills: here . It opens USA November 10, 2006.


 The next movie he is working on is "American Gangster". Russell is joined 
 by Denzel Wshington in this movie. It's about a drug lord who smuggles 
 heroin into Harlem during the 1970s by hiding the stash inside the coffins 
 of American soldiers returning from Vietnam.With Brian Grazer producing 
 and Ridley Scott directing - the "Gladiator" and "Beautiful Mind" dream 
 team is together again. You can see some movie stills here

I am so looking forward to both of the movies!! And I am glad that he keeps up working on good movies alothough he now is a proud father of two ;)

 
Found it on the THUMB board (thanks Gina):

Free Hugs

I was really moved by this video, the song, the idea, the spirit. 
So I would like to give you a free hug, enjoy the video! 

with my family- a nice, quiet time. And of course I had some time to take some nice walks through the woods. Picked some conkers... and I made a little guy out of them - just like when I was a child. Me and my cousin used to sit in my grandma's kitchen and we did handicrafts. I felt like a 10 year old again *g*

Tomorrow one of my best friend will visit me *hurray* and I already made a cake just for her! We have a lot to chat about and I am looking forward to spend some hours with her.

The next weekend I will drive up north and spend 3 days with my friends. We have no idea what we will do, but I am sure it will be fun as always *g*

 


Autumn

Charlotte L. Riser

When the trees their summer splendor
Change to raiment red and gold,
When the summer moon turns mellow,
And the nights are getting cold;
When the squirrels hide their acorns,
And the woodchucks disappear;
Then we know that it is autumn,
Loveliest season of the year.

Las Vegas
A friend on our ConBoard discovered a small video about the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention. If you would like to feel the atmosphere of that great weekend, you'll find the clip HERE. Enjoy!

Getting ready for Gmex!
And speaking of cons - November is another con month! Some friends and I will fly to Manchester to the Collectormania. The last one was fun and I am sure this year will be too. They already confirmed great guests : Brandon Routh, Dwight Schultz, Bruce Spence, Miranda Otto, Joe Flanigan, Michael Dorn and and and.... So our days will be filled with panels, autographs, fotos and the nights with typical English pubs ;) and not to forget shopping on Friday morning at LUSH ! 

LUSH!
Mentioning Lush... omg...I am addicted. I love these cosmetics, they smell like heaven! And they have flavours you don't find in normal every day products you buy at the supermarket or the perfumery. And the colors! Ice blue soaps, grass green bath melts, sparkling shower gels. The creators always develop a little story around their products and you get the feeling they love them as much as you do. *Sigh*, yes I am addicted! I can't understand people who just get the cheepest shower gel and perfume in the supermarket, just to save a buck... yuck! Interested in the best cosmetics ever? Check it out HERE   

Oktoberfest
 I've never been to the Oktoberfest in my life and I don't plan to go there -
 because drinking with thousands of other people, who only come to this
 festival in order to get as drunk as possible, that's not my world *g*  However
 Alex decided to check it out. Well, he got invited by another investment bank
 to the "wine tent" - I am waiting for his report - have fun! ;)

"Some folks rail against other folks, because other folks have what some folks would be glad of" 
        

 
Wahhh ! We found it! We found the absolute best villa in Orlando! It's huge and I mean HUGE *g* and it has:

• 7 Bedrooms 
• 4 Bathrooms
• 30x17 foot pool
• Jacuzzi, large deck 
• BBQ Area
• Basketball
• Games Room
• 9 TVs, Video and DVD players, Playstation 2
• PC with Internet Access, memory card readers and CD Burner
• Fully air-conditioned
• 2 living areas + 2 dining areas

How does that sound? I think it sounds greaaaaaaat and I can't wait for this vacation to start. 

    The THUMB Away Team goes west!     

http://www.thumb-away.org

Thumb nearly fixed a date for the big Florida adventure next year... looks like the two last October weeks (Horror Nights here we come *g*). Yipeehh!! 
We will be even more people next year than in 2004! So we already started to look for nice villas for these dates and I couldn't believe the houses I already found: big pool, BBQ place, huge TVs, Internet, a game room with pool, table football, air hockey and electronic darts, spa and and and... and it is even cheaper than 2004 (and I thought we got a speacial deal last time ...*g*) How cool is that.... we are all so excited already. It's so much fun if you travel with your best friends...

Well, you all know that I love the Sunshine State. I've been there so many times, visited so many places and driving through the streets of Orlando feels like driving through Frankfurt - lol. 
The weather is great (besides the Hurricans ;) ), the beaches are nice, they have great theme parks and most of the people are sooo friendly aaaaaand they have dolphins and ...ok, ok *g*  I guess you get the picture -> I loooove this place! *g*  And hey the have HGTV and Oprah - well not only in Florida... but... you know what I mean ;)

However, being there for only 2 weeks a year isn't really what I have in mind. I wanna fly over whenever I want to and don't spend a lot money on a hotel or renting a house.. soooo why not buy a house there? Yap, you heard right ;) We seriously think about buying a nice home there. It should be big enoug for 4-6 people so that we can rent it to tourists while we are not there and it should still be cozy enough for two people fleeing from the bad european winter weather. *brrrr*

I've already started to look for good offers - there are sooooo many houses to choose from and they are SO cheap, compared to what we have to pay here or in Switzerland. We think about buying somewhere between Orlando, Daytona and Melbourne, because most of the tourists are in that area.

I am so excited about this, to be honest I could fly over tomorrow  
Florida, here we come *g* Okay, going back to the offers now ..... Oh, did I mention that a MUST have is a pool ??? ;)))

 

Of all the States in East or West,
Unto my heart thou art the best
Here may I live, here may I rest
Florida, my Florida.

My second entry is for my friends. 

They also have blogs now, so if you're interested:

*Good to know* - jc's blog

Chritz' Blog : *here*

Darkbecci's blog : *click here*

Wasn't that something?? :)
My friends and I threw a surprise birthday party for one of our best friends - jc. He had NO idea that we had invited so many of his friends to Bonn. We told him that we want to renovate Dee's and Chritz' shared apartment *gg* 
He believed us and you should have seen his face when he entered the living room and everybody was screaming "SURPRISE!!"  - priceless!!!
It was such a nice evening with all our close friends, lots of cakes, chips, pizza, chinese food, salads and a good tequila ;) We had fun fun fun! 
                                                                                 Thanks guys for playing along! 

Happy Birthday little brother!

     Hope you had a great day!!!

One of my best friends told me to update my blog NOW! 
She wants to read, that I am leaving for a great, groovy, awesome weekend tomorrow. So Dee this is for you ;): I am leaving for an amazing weekend tomorrow! I will visit my friends Chritz and Dee in Bonn, jc and Rasi are coming as well. We will have a little bit of work to do - but I am sure we will also have enough time for a typical crazy weekend, with a lot of fun!


I have all my kit together, so I am ready to goooooooo.... 
 

Photos of the day.......

To find a safe journey through grief to growth does not mean one should forget the past. It means that on the journey we will need safe pathways so that remembrance, which may be painful, is possible.

 It's Friday, tonight is the "Wine Festival" at the  
 fountain court in Bad Nauheim and I am looking 
 forward to go there. 
 It's always a lot of fun and very crowded aaand the 
 wine is gooood ;)

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Star Trek!!!! 
And a heartfelt thank you Gene Roddenberry for your vision!!

This show proved it had something different. It had a unique life that would go on to exist beyond expectation. It stood outside of time, as it tapped into universal themes and epic struggles, and put the cosmos on notice. (startrek.com)

My other vacation photos are now online. You've seen the convention pics, time for the beaches, the sun and the crazy cities.

You'll see photos from Santa Monica, LA, Venice Beach, Pismo Beach, Santa Barbara and of course Las Vegas, but this time outside of the Hilton Convention Center ;) And you'll see a lot of crazy people in Venice *g* Enjoy!

And I saw dolphins, many dolphins!!! Unfortunately I was always too slow - each time they jumped out of the water I wasn't ready, so you only see their fin *sigh* ....but they were sooo cute. I love these animals. I have seen a lot in Florida already, but they never were that playful and had so much fun in the water. It was amazing. Next time I am in Florida, I would love to swim with the dolphins in Orlando....

You'll find the photos: HERE 

Finally justice is done!
I have waited for nearly half a year for this thing to happen and now finally the day has arrived! 

There are people out there who think they can talk bad about fellow men, who can accuse them of criminal acts, who are so arrogant and so self-assured that they think they will succeed in ruining other people's reputation. 
Unfortunately I know some of these people and was one of the victims of their smear campaign. Thank God, that I only know a few people in my life who are so dull and so mean. And thank God, that there is some justice in this world, which was now done. People will finally get to know the truth about some things which happened this March and this will make these few dull people look reaaaaally silly. Seems like time didn't work for them ;) How do you feel now - idiot!?

I will indulge myself in watching more of their excuses and more of their lies - with the legal system on my side, this will be a joy! So bring it on ;) 

And once again I want to thank the many people and friends 
who stood by my side, who supported me, who helped me with encouraging words, with their knowledge or just with their presence. This whole thing had one positive effect. I got to know my real friends - THUMB people you ARE the best (!) and I made a lot of new friends. 

I got help from all different sides which surprised me a lot. 
 Thanks, I will always remember that. I owe you something ;) 
 And another thing I learned from this - some people really have
 dark sides and don't give a dime for what they do to you. But I 
 think these guys will get their share someday. Especially those who
 sit in a glashouse and throw with stones.  

I'm back from a wonderful vacation. Boy, we had so much fun.
First we enjoyed the "40th Anniversary Star Trek Convention" in Las Vegas. That rocked! I've never been to a con with sooo many sooo great star guests. I loved it! 
Shatner, Nimoy, Bakula, Mulgrew, Brooks, Spiner, Frakes, Westmore, Roddenberry and and and ... they all had great stories to tell and most of them were hilarious. It wasn't cheap, but it was well worth it. And I am already thinking about flying to the next convention  - August 2007 ;)

All the fans who bought the weekend packages got a soft wristband and a lanyard with a badge (see right picture). We also all got a gold Star Trek Coin, featuring "Enterprise". It is a beautiful special limited edition collectors item:
    
                                                 

I can' describe the feeling on Saturday evening at the "Champagner Toast" where thousands of fans drank to the 40th anniversary of the beloved show and to Gene Roddenberry, who would have turned 85 that very special day! They got me teary-eyed and I had goosebumps. After the toast we enjoyed a concert by Robert Picardo and the great James Darren - what an experience!!

Well, I think instead of going on rhapsodizing about how great it was - just take a look at my photos, which show you the highlights of the best con ever:   *click here*

And of course I got a lot of autographs and met some old friends and made some new friends :)

This is the one piece I am most proud of:



and this I got from a very nice man or should I say, a very nice Gorn? ;) It was so nice to meet you Bobby and I had a great time in Santa Monica ! :)

See you on the 2nd September

Las Vegas - here we come!!!!!!!!
 

Watching Battlestar Galactica - it's so much better in English than it is in German ;) 
But I hate Number Six, doesn't matter if she talks German or English! That bitch... 

While watching the show I did another drawing. It shows one of my favorite characters in the "Lord of the Rings" movie, even though he was cut out ;)

The "Mouth of Sauron":

Mine, mine, mine :)      

I got my new camera today - a Canon PowerShot S3 IS *hurray*  
Las Vegas - we're coming!!

A THUMB Poster!
Because we all love the black and white posters you can buy at the UK conventions, I decided to make one for THUMB. So, here it is:

(There are some members missing, because they didn't have high resolution fotos)
 

In order to keep my mind off the terrible loss in my little family - :(  - I looked for something I can do to keep me busy. Maximus, my other rabbit is feeling lonely as well and we cuddle a lot *sigh*

I made these wallpaper today:

And I made a new drawing (pencil) and transformed it into a wallpaper, meet my Captain Jack Sparrow:

Rest in peace. 

I will never forget you!

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Ich vermiss Dich ganz schrecklich!!!!

While cleaning up my home office I found an old magazine: The "Student Press" featuring one of the first reportages I ever wrote and it also shows some old fotos. I nearly forgot about it and it was a nice surprise :) The article is about the "Formula One" at the Nürnburg Ring in Germany. Probably I should start writing again ;)

THANKS for a GREAT weekend !!!!

We had 3 amazing days in Düsseldorf, 1 in Bonn and two in my hometown :) The Thumbthing Anniversary is always something special and this year was no exception!

*ggg*
A new wallpaper ;)

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear THUUUUMB....

It's this time of the year again!!
 It's more fun than easter and christmas together, it's party time, it's BBQ time,  it's time for lost Sangria bottles, for searching the most hidden loo, for Tequila shots and strange lemons, for campfire, sparkler and marshmallows,  it's time to celebrate true friendship!!!

I will leave for the big party tomorrow evening. And I still have to pack *panic* Why do I always have to take so much with me? ;) but to be honest, I can't wait to sleep in a hotel room with A/C. I am melting away.... this is the 7th week in a row with temps in the high 90s - it's crazy!!

My parents leave for the States on Sunday. 
They will travel through California for 2 weeks. 
Have fun guys, enjoy! You deserve it! 
I will take care of the cat while they are gone - I am curious how it will get along with my rabbits ;) "Pet War - Part 1" *ggg*

Huaaaaaaaaa!!!

If you look for a nice restaurant in Frankfurt, be sure to check out "The Ivory Club". 

I had the best "Original M-Style Blackened Filet" - yummy!!!

We'll be back for sure! ;)

The last July weekend is THUMB's 3rd anniversary and we will celebrate it in Düsseldorf - it's a THUMB tradition! This year nearly all members will attend, only 2 don't have time to join us from Friday till Sunday - a new THUMB record!!

  I am so looking forward to it. This "Thumbting" is always 
 something special and this year it really means a lot to me. 
 It's going to be pure fun and if I am lucky, we have to
 celebrate something special. But I have to wait and see ;)

wonder why those people answer back.

I am glad that I have so many people in my life I can trust. True friendship is so rare in this world, you have to treasure it!  

"The making of friends, who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life." (Edward Everett Hale)

When are we going to repeat this??? ;) 

"If it's not fun, you're not doing it right” ;)

“Live life fully while you're here. 

Experience everything. 

Take care of yourself and your friends. 

Have fun, be crazy, be weird. "

Isn't the weather in Germany amazing during the last weeks? I can't remember to have so much sun for so many weeks without a break! I am outside every day, riding my bike, taking a walk or going to the pool. I am getting used to these temperatures - training for Vegas ;)

She is on her way!!!

LIFTOFF OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY - Returning to the Space Station...while paving the way for future missions beyond....

Godspeed Discovery!!!

First of all - Happy 4th of July to all my American friends!

And now back to the London Film and Comic Con! 
You can find more fotos HERE.
 It was really a great convention! Elijah Wood was so modest and nice and also all the other guests - they always took their time to chat with their fans, the panels were very interesting and the dealers - wow ;) Some of my friends spent serious money there *g* 
I am sure we all will be back next year! 

Time to pack for London
Christopher Lee will be at the convention - how great is that?? Saruman himself, Dracula himself! Can't get any better. Well it can - because a lot of friends will also travel to London and we will meet some more people there. It's gonna be a lot of fun!

Speaking of travelling - we booked our hotel in Las Vages - Aladdin here we come! We will stay there for 4 nights while we visit the biggest convention this year :) Looking forward to try the pool, if we have time ;)

And we booked something else: 
A helicopter flight over Vegas during the night. I am sure this will be amazing *happy* 

I haven't been to Vegas for a couple of years now and I am really curious how it looks now and how the new hotels look like when you see them "live". But the most important thing is the con! They keep adding actors and they sold over 8000 tickets by now. Check it out: *here* I await eagerly the schedule for this major event. 

Life can be good

Edit: Oi, we found the "Bullshit of the Day" .... hilarious   We love it !! Where are my sheep? I need to blind them, lead them ...

My cat is sick :(  
We have been to the hospital today and he got some infusions. Poor little thing. The doctor said, he will be ok, but it's hard to see such a small creature so apathic.

And another sad story! Bruno, the bear from Bavaria, was shot dead in the Alps. He was killed by a hunter this night! I can't believe it!! Why couldn't they just capture him. The first bear in Germany for over 170 years and we kill him!??? For crying out loud, what is wrong with this country???  The Bavarians - so typical!! A "problem bear" - ha! The only problems the Bavarians have is Edmund Stoiber!! I hope the guy who killed this poor animal will have a VERY hard time during the next days and weeks!!!

And I found my future car this weekend!!! Love at first sight *g*

I can't believe the good weather we have here at the moment!! For 3 weeks no rain, only sun, not too hot ... I love it. We spent the afternoon at the pool, got some ice cream and enjoyed life... now it's football time ;) After Germany wins this match we're going to the movies :) The stores are open till 12 am - so it's gonne be a nice evening!   

Actually I find it pretty amusing how someone can say that "stooping down to a certain level" is not what he wants while doing just that for months now. Such a  pitiable person. Well, the truth will come out someday and a lot of people will be very surprised ;)

Even more amusing to me is the fact that he somehow can't get over me. After sooo many months.. people moved on, enjoy their life, have new/old relationships and hardly think about what happend a year ago, except him. Posting on his website nearly every week, posting on boards - always mentioning me .... I somehow feel flattered *g* But hey, what do they say "Noone kicks a dead dog". I once read a book from Dale Carnegie where he says, that when you are kicked and criticized, remember that it is often done because it gives the kicker a feeling of importance. It often means that you are someone and worthy of attention. Many people get a sense of savage satisfaction out of denouncing those who are better educated than they are or more successfull. Remember that unjust critisism if often a disguised compliment. Well, seems as if he is right again ;)

I had a pretty hard time first, because his attacks and lies hurt me very badly. Now my friends and I always laugh our a* off when we find a new post from him somewhere. It's a hobby to find the most amusing passage in his post - or - like one of my friends said, the "Bullshit of the Day" ;) Let's see what comes next and when he finally will be able to forget me. Hey, I am a pretty impressive person, hm!? *lol* Until then we will watch his lonesome and wearisome war - Rumpelstiltskin at his best. ;)
Actually I understand his behaviour a little bit, everybody deserves a fulfilling relationship and girls just keep saying "good-bye" to him. I would get frustrated too, to be honest - but I don't know if I could "stoop down to that level"  ;)

    And now to some more important news !!

    Our ConBoard provides information to more than 65 conventions at the
    moment- go check it out, if you love cons! 

Alex will come to Germany for the weekend - if the weather stays like it is we will have a lot of fun at the pool. Also... "The Sentinel" started today, so maybe we will go to the movies in the evening.

And next week is con time!!! Some friends and I will fly to London and visit the Film and Comic Convention. Elijah Wood is scheduled, I hope he doesn't cancel... I can also update my "LOST" poster with some signatures - yipeeh!

And now it's bedtime - it is 4 am and I can't sleep, because I am ill - sore throat, headache.. *sniff*... Rebell wait 'till we meet again - my revenge will be horrid!! ;)))

Do I need to say more? ;) One of the funniest THUMBthings within the last months.... 

Booked! Booked! Booooked!!!

What a nice weekend. The weather was great, I did some shopping and we went to a beautiful restaurant at the lake. The food and the wine were delicious - if you spend some time in Zurich, be sure to check it out. www.sonne.ch

Finally - the summer is here! :) 

Since last weekend there is sun, sun, sun in good old Germany! Now - I am leaving for Switzerland tomorrow, so there better be warm temperatures as well!!! I would love to go to the Zurich lake again, that's the only thing I miss here in Germany - oh - besides the chocolate *blush* - but luckily enough there is someone who provides me with the best chocolate on earth, when I crave it :)

Another good thing leaving Germany for the weekend is getting away from the football/soccer madness - I can't here the word "World championship" anymore - I hate it!!! And this will be going on for a month now *sigh*
And now - back in the sun

Ohoh, I got a red nose *g* - too much sun today... ;) So I will spend the evening at home, typing my business plan *sigh* and searching for a flight to LA. :)
It looks like we are gonna make it for the convention !! YES!!

I made a new wallpaper, click it for opening the real size pic 

Alex and I are thinking about flying to Vegas for the biggest Star Trek event this year! It's the 40th Anniversary !! Click on the logo for more infos - Vivaaa Las Vegas!!!

Today was my mom's birthday. I had a lot of fun celebrating with my family :)
Love you Mom!!!  

The sun, the sun, I see the sun!!
I just came back from a medieval market at a castle nearby. A lot of people in great costumes, many craftsmen who showed how people worked in the middle ages, good meat *g* and hurray, good weather :)

Wooooow
Thanks for the weekend guys! Love you!!

The concert hall (the biggest in Germany) holds up to 18.000 people! I am already excited, can't wait till Sunday evening! Imagine the atmosphere - imagine the battles, the emotions, the victories of these great movies - they all live in Howard Shore's music...


The symphony is a six-movement tour de force which presents the soundtrack music from Peter Jackson's nine-hour film trilogy The Lord of the Rings in a two-hour opera-like distillation. The symphony captures not only the sweeping emotion, thrilling vistas, and grand journeys of J.R.R. Tolkien's literary masterpiece, but also echoes the very construction of Tolkien's Middle-earth.(henrydoktorski)
