I had an iced coffee on Friday, and I got an email today: "Thank you for your purchase. If you are unhappy, you can return your product without any difficulty". I wonder how I would do that, having digested it. Don't we just love standard texts that are send out no matter what the context is?

I have never seen red summer lighting before. This was amazing. It illuminated the skyline in fiery red and flickered, only to vanish in an instant.

Update: I only got crappy Chinese noodles and I'm afraid that doesn't count. So the crappy-festival-pizza thing is still on. But, on the plus side, I saw my favourite band at the freaking barrier.

Going to my first festival. I hope they have crappy pizza, as I someone once pointed that it was a festival essential and I kind of have that on my bucket list. [Apparently the disadvantage of having an income is that spontaneous late night 1 am shopping amounts to festival tickets]. #metalsky

At least during the first episodes of MONK, I got a strong feeling how much the pairing of Sharona / Monk resembles the much later pairing Penny / Sheldon in THE BIG BANG THEORY.

I've just realized how much CHARMED is a precursor of SUPERNATURAL. The unbreakable bond of siblings, digging into lore, a family heirloom manuscript with advice, a personal (guardian) angel at their disposal, conflict of priorizing what is right vs. saving the sibling(s). #charmed #supernatural

When you listen to a French podcast to improve your French and the presenter talkes about "la dame blanche" and your head goes like "Dad has gone on a hunting trip and hasn't been home in a few days". #supernatural

I was never a fan of LotR because of the black and white characters. But then RoP came along with amazing complexity. Sauron never lied to Galadriel, and in doing so, he seems to be the only one who truly values her vigor. She, in turn, used him to meet her ends. He left her a hint to the Southlands

I have just bought a concert ticket, and attending this gig will require crossing pretty much all of Germany from South to North. Now I have a year to work out how to do this. I suspect if you intend to travel so far with the national train service you may vanish in a wormhole for good.

I am deeply impressed by #ANONYMOUS. Framed by a prologue / epilogue, presenting the plot as a play within a play / film ->"The Mousetrap", plus puns on elements from HAMLET make this very enjoyable. And I hope we can all agree that the plot twists are not that far from #Shakespeare 's own. #lit
