I should be working on my essay right now... hmm, I wonder how many of my entreis have begun like that. Heh. 
Today it's 1 month, 1 week and 1 day until I go back home, yay.

[profile] claireweasley has got me hooked on 'Whose Line is it Anyway', but I can only see it on YouTube, so I'm running out of clips. *cries*
I'll share some:
Who's Line is it anyway
Whose Line Is It Anyway - Scenes from a hat
Whose Line Is It Anyway - Scenes From A Hat 2
whose line is it anyway ~ 2
The rest you'll have to go find yourself. ;)

I was just on the MTV website and stumbeled over to the nominees for the MTV Movie Awards. I have to say I'm really dissapointed. How could they overlook 'Serenity'??? It hasn't got one nomination, and how did Elijah Wood not get a nomination for 'Sin City'? Seriously!?! He was the most awesome baddie! And the fight between Kevin and Marv isn't nominated either. *shakes head*
Go see for yourself HERE.
Totally lost the will to see it this year, the only thing that could save it is if Jensen and Jared are hosting it. ;p

Made it to Germany in one piece... almost. :p

Beluga came over Tuesday evening, to sleep over since we were leaving early next morning. We didn't get much sleep, I was tired, but my body and brain wouldn't listen + Beluga chattering beside me most of the night didn't help much. It didn't matter tho, got up in the morning without much trouble.
Eventually we got moving, and got on board the boat. We hurried to the seating area, since we wanted seats by the window. That didn't happen. We had reserved places in Captain's class which basically means we get a buffet on the 2.5 hour boat trip. Eat as much as you like.
Most people were finished eating before the boat left port, I waited a little while, but finally fetched some food.
Bad thing was that there would be about 1.5-2 meter high waves during the trip, something they mentioned after I had eaten. The waves hit us on the side on the back of the boat, so it was a pretty bad rocking motion. I sat with my eyes closed, just focusing on my breathing, and trying to zone out the people around me that started throwing up. After a while my mom got sick and started throwing up, which made it really hard to ignore. Didn't take long before I got sick as well. Beluga, and my parents thought I was sleeping since I had my eyes closed, but it was just so I wouldn't have to look at the pucking people. Sorry...am writing a little too much in detail about this... in short, my mom and I got sea-sick. Beluga and my dad din't.
When we eventually got our feet on land again I was pretty knackered, and was just happy that I wouldn't have to endure more waves for a while.
After an about 6 hour drive we arrived in Hamburg, and got a huge welcome from my family. It was great to see them all again, and I'm just happy to be here. When we got to my aunts apartment she gave us enough food to feed a small village. I took it as I had only eaten a little dry bread, and some gum since the boat ride.
We went to bed early, 21:00, took a while before I got to sleep tho. I was knackered. Beluga wasn't tired at all, poor thing, don't think I was pretty good company that day.

The next morning we had to get up at 09:00, which I didn't really mind. Would have loved to sleep some more, but I got up without much trouble. We went to a local mall, which is walking distance from the flat. Bought some candy. Then we went to a bigger mall called "Elbe". I got my eye on a "X-Men" game for Play Station 1, we'll probably be going there again, so I think I'll buy it. After wards we went to yet another shopping mall, I just bought a Coke, as the air in that mall was really thick and it didn't take long before I started feeling I'll. Helped with a little to drink tho.
The evening we just took it easy, think all of us were pretty knackered. Most of the grownups went to bed at at 21:00, Beluga and I stayed up watching Nirvana stuff on German MTV until 23:15. After that we just talked and had fun. Don't think we really went to sleep until about 02:00.

We had to get up at 09:00 again this morning, that was hard. I didn't get up more out of spite than the fact that I was tired. Ended up with someone letting the air out of the mattress we were sleeping on. I gave up in the end and got up. We didn't do much today, had a drive around the city, had a little look around. We saw the city hall, and the channel with the boats. Lastly we drove to the Repobahn, which is basically a very seedy area, with nudy bars, hookers, and such. Sad thing is that there's a police station in the same street, and a church at the other end of the street. We just drove through it, wasn't really tempting to step out of the car.
We were supposed to go to the "Hamburg Dom" this evening, which is a big traveling amusement park. But it's a holy day, so it's closed. Belgua and I have just taken it easy, spent some time reading our books, and figuring out what we can do while we're here. :)

Tomorrow we're going to a camp site, and will sleep over until Sunday. Looking forward to it. :)

Was at the cinema yesterday with Lily. We saw "The Matrix: Reloaded". First time I saw it, but it was her second time.
I can't understand that she was willing to pay to see that movie twice!?! I am very thankful that she joined me to see it, but that movie was crap. The Reviews here have been at about 4 out of 6 stars. I think the only reason it made it up to four was that people loved the first one. If I was gonna be very nice I would give it 3 stars, but I don't really think it deserves more than 2. But then again I have never been a big Matrix fan.
This movie has so many plot holes and missing information in this move... One might argue that we will get the answers to this in the third one, but I'm not hoping.
There are also a couple of scenes between Neo and Trinity where I felt like gagging. Now, I'm not big on the mushy romantic stuff generally, but this was too much, and sooooo out of place.
My theory of "Every movie has at least one good quote" was almost crushed by this movie, but I managed to find one or two I liked. The one I remember now is. Mr.Smith is saying something like "It's all me" Then he punches a guy in the stomach, saying "Me, me, me". The guy he punched turned into a copy of Mr. Smith, and he replies: "And me." That was a bit amusing.
For all of you that saw the spoof on The MTV Movie Awards 2003 will understand why Lily and I were laughing when Neo met the Oracle. Couldn't get the spoof out of my head.
In short: This movie isn't about the plot, but "Ooooooh, look how many effects we can make". Very sad really, because I feel that the first one was onto something.
Ah, well.
