The New Year is already a week old...  

  • I spent 15 minutes laughing about this. Maybe it's because I'm tired. This weekend we have our annual Kick Off party for work and supposedly it will snow quite badly at night. We will see what happens. Also I have nothing to wear.
  • I'm quite good at my New Years resolution to not buy some much crap. I resisted the delicious donuts 3 times already and didn't buy gossip mags or any sort of chocolate either.
  • Tonight I will look at two more apartments. The one that I really wanted I didn't get. hopefully those I will see tonight are nice. I might give up at some point.
  • Goodreads and some other factors, mainly my returned enjoyment for books, have lead to the fact that I'm reading quite a bit. I started rereading a cycle of Marion Zimmer Badley's Darkover novels and read one new one and it's quite nice to be in this universe again. All the characters and this world are so familiar. It's like putting on an old pair of really comfortable socks. And even though I notice the shortcomings of these novels more than I did when I was little, it's still nice and familiar.
  • I'm re-eatching Rome. The HBO show and I have to say I'm still in awe how they can work with this age old material, a story that we know how it ends and make it this exciting
  • Do you think it's two late to pimp my icon post from sunday almost a week after I posted them?
  • Before I forget. I meant to do some pimping. [livejournal.com profile] berlinghoff79 has been very creative of late. Check out her new baby [livejournal.com profile] sgaconstruction and espeically mind this room. Also check out her paper dolls for SGA, Merlin, SPN, BSG and more.



ps: If you work with Germans and try to contact one who is missing from work due to an illness, his boss will tell you that he is sick until next Thursday. That’s because Germans go back to work when their doctor schedules them to be well again.

<3 It's true!!!! I went looking!
[identity profile] liz-mo.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 12:22 pm (UTC)
ROTFL! So true :-D

And what is your handle on Goodreads *wants more friends there*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:40 pm (UTC)
And you may not coe back early because if the doctor says your sick you aren't inasured at work. It's insane!!

And the Goodreads link leads to my profile :)
[identity profile] lavvyan.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:03 pm (UTC)
I'm almost through the first season of Rome! :D

Whatever might have gotten you watching again? *whistles*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:41 pm (UTC)
Whotoooo!!! I think my last ep was Caesarion.
And I have no idea who that could be *squishes*
[identity profile] lavvyan.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:42 pm (UTC)
I'm one ahead of you then. *g*

Hee! *glomps*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:45 pm (UTC)
Heee.. I watched them all in one night. Shameful ;)
*mwaaaah*
[identity profile] lavvyan.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:51 pm (UTC)
I started mainlining them, but How I Met Your Mother distracted me. I've six more eps to go until I'm done with season two, then I'll go back to Rome.

Such a shiny, shiny TV. <333
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:58 pm (UTC)
Oh, I love How I met your mother!!!
Wheee.. we will watch paralell.

And yes.. that. I'm considering icons.
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 01:51 pm (UTC)
That is the official OM NOM NOM Gif. :D

Good luck apartment hunting!!!!

ALSO, if I was krankgeschrieben, I would definitely stay home as long as the doc wants me to, you are uninsured at work if you go and why not take the break if you can. :)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:00 pm (UTC)
Exactly. But that thing on the left cracks me up so much!!! sooo much!!
btw..we have stammtisch again soon. You will have to join. No bowing out this time!!

Yes... I mentioned the thing somewhere in comments.
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:11 pm (UTC)
Tell me when and I will check my busy busy (READ: very empty) schedule. :D
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:52 pm (UTC)
I'm not sure exactly when it is because I forgot to write it down. Again.
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:55 pm (UTC)
WELL, tomorrow doesn'T work for me. But other than that my schedule is wiiiide open. :)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:56 pm (UTC)
Well tomorrow I'm at the aforementioned Kick Off party.

Btw... öffentliche Verkehrsmittel oder Auto. Ich kann mich nciht entscheiden!
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:58 pm (UTC)
If you want to drink: Public.
If you want to get home fast: Car.

It is a tough choice. With this weather you never know about public transportation but driving a car can also be tricky... :(
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 03:08 pm (UTC)
The weather is the main concern..tomorrow is supposed to be aweful!
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 03:23 pm (UTC)
yeah, so I heard. I don't know...
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 03:28 pm (UTC)
Mätti said that people are stocking stuff because we will be snowed in o_O
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 04:20 pm (UTC)
SLEEP OVER!! :D
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 10:28 am (UTC)
rofl... not with 500 people ;)
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 11:17 am (UTC)
THE MORE THE MERRIER!
[identity profile] strandmose.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:50 pm (UTC)
Hope it doesn't snow too much for the party.

Well done on the NY resolution! :)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:51 pm (UTC)
I sinned and had extra chicken wings!!!!!
[identity profile] strandmose.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:57 pm (UTC)
well a little sinning is allowed or it's no fun ;)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 03:25 pm (UTC)
True... but after the 4th day!
[identity profile] strandmose.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 05:08 pm (UTC)
well it's about setting realistic goals. So maybe it shouldn't be you can't sin at all but maybe only once a day or what ever :)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 10:29 am (UTC)
Well..I sinned a few times more. But I daresay I've got myself in check. *eatsdoppelkeks*
[identity profile] yuvi.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 02:56 pm (UTC)
Good luck with the apartment, I'm sorry the one you wanted fell through.

Ohhh.. I should befriend you at Goodreads ;)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 03:28 pm (UTC)
Thank you..and you should befriend me ;)
Hammer time!!!
[identity profile] yuvi.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 03:29 pm (UTC)
hehehe.. that song popped-up on my iPod yesterday on my way home ^_^
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 10:30 am (UTC)
The Hammer is awesome. BTW... regarding goodreads. I added you now. It didn't work before for whatever reason.
[identity profile] yuvi.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 01:04 pm (UTC)
Is nice to go back and listen to artist we grew up with ^_^ it's fun, it brings up memories ;)

I saw the email, thanks for the heads-up

I like that our doctors are so much smarter than any other doctors and know exactly when we are good again. Except for the times they don't.

Which reminds me, I didn't have a single sick day last year. Whatever happened to the annual flu? She said hours before she will probably get it.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 10:31 am (UTC)
Yes, exactly. They are much smarter.
And did you get it? Didn't have sick days either. I hardly ever do.
ext_33206: Castle - safe word is apples[identity profile] roadrunner1896.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 11:18 am (UTC)
No, I didn't. Maybe I should start getting worried now.
[identity profile] daquien.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2010 08:07 pm (UTC)
I love Rome, it was an awesome series, especially the first season, so bad it only lasted two.
Btw, do you know something about the movie they said they were going to do?
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 10:54 am (UTC)
Yes... I finshed the first season now. I'm almost sad to start s2. And I heard abou that ages ago. Would be cool.

I have another version of this gif where he's eating popcorn, you know for those entertaining ONTD posts you stick around for! :P

My resolutions are to pass the marine fitness test by the end of the year and have a steady income job.

Yes, crosspost, people love your icons!

Rome <3 I could do for a rewatch, they greenlit the movie ASdjhglasasfl.

I never tire of this vid.

And that's interesting about the illness thing.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on January 19th, 2010 10:56 am (UTC)
ONTD drives me insane. So I don't check it out that much!

Marine fitness test? Wow... that sounds tough.

They greenlit the movie? Really? I thought there was trouble because Kevin McKidd was busy with Greys.
[identity profile] icequeen3101.livejournal.com on January 9th, 2010 01:15 am (UTC)
Do you think it's two late to pimp my icon post from sunday almost a week after I posted them?

Nope, do it!!
Your flist may have seen them, but others won't.
I have pimped my newest entry on december 31st and january first ...
because I wasn't able to post it all at once before I had to leave.
Nobody seemed to complain ;D

Good luck with the appartments!! *squish*
