I'm gonna have to put the Alphabet Soup project on hold for a few days (maybe longer) due to a pretty major personal crisis. Two close friends of mine are in the hospital after a freak lightning strike accident on Saturday, and my mind is currently occupied with anything but fan fiction. I'm gonna go back to my daily posting schedule, once things approach a state that's a little closer to normal.

( B is for Bitter )

Prison Break season 4 is here! Just ordered it online. Not that I really liked season 4 that much, but I'd love to have a complete collection. Plus, rewatching the episodes on DVD is more fun. And now I have a reason to rewarch season 4. Works for me! :o)

They do. I just had a double coincidence. It still boggles my mind. It's kind of a complicated story to tell, but the short version is that I met two seemingly unrelated people that I'm not very close with in the same hotel in a city that is hundreds of miles away from all of our homes. And it wasn't a congress or meeting or anything. Just three people on unrelated business trips to Vienna. Staying in the same hotel. At the same time. (One of them was actually a guy I haven't seen since university some odd nine or ten years ago. The other guy was a former colleague of mine whom I don't seem more than once a year.)

What have we learned today? The pharma world is so small! There's also a German saying that goes: You always meet twice in life. Guess we just did, the university guy and I.

On a Prison Break-y side note, how did I miss that there was a two-hour wrap up episode??? I only just found out tonight! :-O Guess I have more to catch up on.

This is kind of a downer, probably, but I just watched CSI: NY and it's the first time this show has made me cry. And a little ashamed of being German too. It was about Nazis and neo-Nazis, and about what happened in Hitler Germany. It's not like it's the first time I've seen a show or movie or coverage about it, of course, but somehow this one hit home.

( A lesson learned? )
