The New Year is already a week old...

[elli]

• 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. berlinghoff79 has been very creative of late. Check out her new baby 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.

*chews*

ps: Your Veronica/Logan fanfic is the best Veronica/Logan fanfic there is!

[mskatej.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks BB!

[elli.livejournal.com]

<3 It's true!!!! I went looking!

[liz-mo.livejournal.com]

ROTFL! So true :-D

And what is your handle on Goodreads *wants more friends there*

[elli.livejournal.com]

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 :)

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

I'm almost through the first season of Rome! :D

Whatever might have gotten you watching again? *whistles*

[elli.livejournal.com]

Whotoooo!!! I think my last ep was Caesarion.
And I have no idea who that could be *squishes*

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

I'm one ahead of you then. *g*

Hee! *glomps*

[elli.livejournal.com]

Heee.. I watched them all in one night. Shameful ;)
*mwaaaah*

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

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

[elli.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love How I met your mother!!!
Wheee.. we will watch paralell.

And yes.. that. I'm considering icons.

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

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. :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

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.

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

Tell me when and I will check my busy busy (READ: very empty) schedule. :D

[elli.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure exactly when it is because I forgot to write it down. Again.

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

WELL, tomorrow doesn'T work for me. But other than that my schedule is wiiiide open. :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well tomorrow I'm at the aforementioned Kick Off party.

Btw... öffentliche Verkehrsmittel oder Auto. Ich kann mich nciht entscheiden!

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

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... :(

[elli.livejournal.com]

The weather is the main concern..tomorrow is supposed to be aweful!

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

yeah, so I heard. I don't know...

[elli.livejournal.com]

Mätti said that people are stocking stuff because we will be snowed in o_O

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

SLEEP OVER!! :D

[elli.livejournal.com]

rofl... not with 500 people ;)

[elsmoka.livejournal.com]

THE MORE THE MERRIER!

[strandmose.livejournal.com]

Hope it doesn't snow too much for the party.

Well done on the NY resolution! :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

I sinned and had extra chicken wings!!!!!

[strandmose.livejournal.com]

well a little sinning is allowed or it's no fun ;)

[elli.livejournal.com]

True... but after the 4th day!

[strandmose.livejournal.com]

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 :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well..I sinned a few times more. But I daresay I've got myself in check. *eatsdoppelkeks*

[yuvi.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the apartment, I'm sorry the one you wanted fell through.

Ohhh.. I should befriend you at Goodreads ;)

and lol that video is hilarious

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thank you..and you should befriend me ;)
Hammer time!!!

[yuvi.livejournal.com]

hehehe.. that song popped-up on my iPod yesterday on my way home ^_^

[elli.livejournal.com]

The Hammer is awesome. BTW... regarding goodreads. I added you now. It didn't work before for whatever reason.

[yuvi.livejournal.com]

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

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

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.

[elli.livejournal.com]

Yes, exactly. They are much smarter.
And did you get it? Didn't have sick days either. I hardly ever do.

[roadrunner1896.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't. Maybe I should start getting worried now.

[daquien.livejournal.com]

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?

[elli.livejournal.com]

Yes... I finshed the first season now. I'm almost sad to start s2. And I heard abou that ages ago. Would be cool.

[killmotion.livejournal.com]

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.

[elli.livejournal.com]

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.

[icequeen3101.livejournal.com]

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*
