OMG! ( Look what I did today :-O )

Any Twilight/New Moon fans around? You'll probably know who Mike Newton is. He's being played by young, upcoming actor Michael Welch, who has not only played a supporting role in Star Trek: Insurrection (remember the little, blond boy, Artim?) but has also worked on a whole lot of other projects. He's probably one of the most proliferative young actors out there in Hollywood these days. And a fine man in person he is too. (I would know, I've met him.)

So let me shamelessly advertise one of his latest movies, called Unrequited. You'll find the trailer below. The movie also has an excellent website at http://www.unrequitedmovie.com. Please go and watch it when it comes out, though we don't have a release date yet.

Shameless plug. I hope you forgive me. :o)

Yet another pilot of a new TV show I tried. And yet another hospital show I didn't like. Guess I'm just not into the kind of hospital shows that are so obviously unlike the real world. I mean, seriously, hospitals and doctors like that don't exist. And if they did, no one who doesn't have high-profile private insurance couldn't afford to be treated there. So I'm gonna give this one a pass too.

One more thing: OMG, Marina Sirtis looks old. Guess none of us is getting any younger.

Another more thing: My blind date yesterday sucked big time. Dorky dorky dorky. And not in a good way. I can't believe there are still people out there who wear calculator watches. Yes, those things that used to be in in, like, the 80's. Ahem. Next?

For some bizarre reason, tonight I was thinking about this story I wrote a long time ago. I don't think I ever really posted it anywhere, so let's make it see the light right here. I wouldn't call it fan fiction, but it was inspired by an episode of a German crime show called "Polizeiruf 110". I originally wrote it in German, but I also translated it at some point, and I think it works just as well in English as it does in German. And now, without further ado, I give you...

Okay, so I bought myself a new toy for the SLR camera the other day. It's called a retro adapter. Basically what it does is that you can connect your lens to the camera the wrong way round, effectively making it into a macro lens. It doesn't work as well as a real macro lens, but, hey, what do you expect for 30 EUR (as compared to 250+)?

( Curious? )

I figure it's time to post some beautiful pictures. I took these when taking a walk along the De Witt See near the Dutch border on Sunday.

Yay, Fanboys finally made it over to Germany! I subjected myself to the torture of watching it dubbed into German last night, and I have to say that even though the choice of dubbing voices was bad, the translation was actually really good. All the jokes worked quite well, and people laughed in all the right places.
