Ninjas STILL can't catch you if you're on fire

Seriously, I think I have cumulatively spent about 22 hours asleep this weekend. And it was glorious. Saturday was especially spent in a flashback to high school manner-- zonked out from 3AM-3PM lol, don't ask why I was still awake until three though. Of course, this meant I basically dropped everything else, barely got anything done but bothering the dogs, bothering Dad, watching crappy TV and eating delicious food-- but all in all, I think it was worth it. With these batteries charged, I'll hopefully be more in the swing of things now!

DAY THREE @ INTERNSHIP:
I think asking you guys for spam was the magical nudge I needed for them to finally give me shit to do-- as I was about to reply to some mail (laulan, chesire_tabby-- I WILL SO GET BACK TO YOU GUYSSS) I got to work on another project! I had to type up a product introduction/explanation text that expanded a bit on the virtues that were explained in the product factsheet. This was some famous brand's newly formulated baby/toddler milk formula, and it apparently filled with sunshine and rainbow dust, all the best to "optimize the miracle of learning in your young child's life". I had to do some googling about what foodstuffs normally contained the magical ingredients used in the formula, and what fun diseases you could have if you didn't get enough of these nutrients.

FUN FACTS: Did you know that our brain is apparently made out of 60% fat? Or that if you'd stretch out all the nerves in your brain in one straight line, it'd be 75 kilometers long? Well that's what the internet told me! Shame I didn't get to use it, but I gladly proceeded to work this into every conversation I had with RL people that day lolol.

Anyways, this wasn't supposed to be a really hard assignment to do, but of course I am sometimes blindingly stupid, and didn't really get enough sleep the previous night (note to self, 5 hours is okay, FOUR AND A HALF SCREWS YOU). I had two cups of coffee for breakfast at 7AM, which served me fine for the part of the morning where I was still waiting around for people to come to the office and give me shit to do (aka 9-11AM), but damn if the caffeine didn't just exit my system like a thunderclap the moment I fired up that word document. It was almost hilarious, I couldn't even focus on the screen, everything was flashing, my eyes were that heavy. It felt like I was almost high lolol thankfully it was almost lunch-time, so I basically excused myself off alone. Scarfed down a middling meal at the food court and followed that up with a large cafe latte with two espresso shots and 5 packets of sugar to actually make it palatable and we were back in business. I wonder how my super liked that article? Will find out soon I guess, though I hope I won't have to correct it as much as the cosmetics one. Turns out that she told me I could freestyle the translation/tone, but neglected to mention that the client wanted certain key phrases repeated EVERY DAMN PARAGRAPH, and I unknowingly always switched things up a bit because I thought that would make for boring reading. It was again a faintly amusing process of back and forth, her correcting it and making me correct her grammar in turn and rinse and repeat. Oh well, now I've internalized it for sure though. I think I'm even getting to go to the press con/product launch event for it tomorrow too, "white dress-code" ooh err, better go pack my stuff now.

OVER AND OUT FOR NOW, BBs ♥

OH AND CHECK OUT THIS COVER OF KANYE WEST'S "HEARTLESS" Kris Allen, my my my :O

I am utterly and totally knackered, to steal a Brit way of saying things. Holy crap. And I have no real idea where this is coming from, but I just feel this resounding feeling of mental and physical lethargy-- so if I seem a little off to you guys these next few days, it is because I am running on what you'd call Stromsparmodus. This better not be my brain already preparing for Roma roma romaaa (NEXT WEEK HOMG!!), ugh there is so much unwanted uni crap to deal with still this week.

In an effort to not make this entry even more pointless and boring, have some links that have been at least moderately to quite entertaining, via Ye Old Youtube:
_Some person on YT who's uploaded a bunch of current anime ...I can highly recommend K-ON! as a fun and cheerful anime about a group of four girls who decide they want to start a band and make it big. Adorable character designs and relationships, and seriously solid animation.
_Their ED is also insanely catchy and one of the most addictive to watch that I have seen in ages. ...Or more likely: I am just totally transfixed by the moe moe character designs. And I am a sucker for lip-synching during OP/ED themes or just basically Band!actionn. Their dresses! So darling~ (And here's the Full Version of the K-ON! ED song btw)
_"The Monster without a Name" ...who here also read and LOVED Naoki Urusawa's brilliant Monster manga? Never really had time to watch the anime, but here are some clips of the animated versions of the creepy and wonderful fairytales that were woven into the plot of the series. GAAH. Lovely visuals, but GAAAAH. Further tales: "The Person with the Big Eyes & The Person with the Big Mouth" and
"The Troubled God"

_Wonderfully clear and understandable YT vids on different hairstyles ...Non-anime/manga lol, and FINALLY, a vid that makes me understand how one does a fishtail braid. And the sheer variety of things this woman can do with her hair is fascinating. It's so long and glorious O_O

Also, it occurs to me that I haven't really posted about last week's Supernatural. Huh. Suffice to say that it pretty much blew my fucking mind and I am on the edge of my seat to find out what happens in the SEASON FINALE this week. Expect mindless ALLCAPS and cursing of Kripke to occur thereafter!

NOW: BEDTIME (??).

Just watched The Fall today with Miss Olga, in an act of awesome socialization that basically saved my Saturday from being just the day where I failed to actually get myself showered and ready to go buy some groceries before they closed in the time-span of uh, six hours. When I say that I am sometimes a profoundly lethargic person, this is about the kind of stuff I get up to when at my low points, lol what. DID manage to clean the disgusting thing that is our toilet brush receptacle and actually change the old, FOUL one for a new one (actually a glass cleaner and thus totally small, but whatever). There seems to be no point in buying normal toilet brushes, as dearest Sabrina roomie seems to have ~mysterious~ bowel issues that always involve making the public bathroom toilet brushes look more pristine than ours. I hope I am not jinxing myself by typing this, but she has been gone for the whole last week! Left some trash to molder again (that I am currently ignoring), but she is not here, fuck yeahhhhhh :DD

BUT THAT ASIDE, back to the movie. My non-spoilery review: HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS MOVIE IS GORGEOUS. The scenery! The colors! Everything was so insanely lushly costumed and sumptuously shot and breathtakingly and heartstoppingly beautiful and Lee Pace(♥ ♥) and the little girl were all kinds of wonderful (their relationship ngggg socute). My face during the movie could basically be summed up by the following emoticons-- :O, with sprinklings of D:!! and :D!!. I was ever so engrossed in the story and I loved how the two worlds of the actual hospital staff and patients and the fantastic world that Roy was telling Alexandria of were slowly merging together in Alexandria's imagination and ahh *flails*. If Olga wasn't sitting right next to me, I totally would have also started crying at at least two separate scenes in the movie, haaah.

SO BASICALLY, if you guys have the chance, you should all watch this ASAP! It will seriously blow your mind ♥ For further gorgeous eyecandy, please to be checking out THIS PICSPAM.

And to round this off, ( one of my favorite pics/production stills from an image search :DD )

Today is the first time since about half year that I have actually engaged in strenuous physical activity. After our day full of errands, Ma dragged me to our housing community/mooban's gym and I proceeded to wheeze my way through a half hour of the cardio machines on middle setting. IT FELT LIKE I WAS ABOUT TO DIIIIIE AFTERWARDS, lol I am so out of shape >_>;; (aaaand we're gonna try for longer tomorrow! Ahhh)

This suddenly willingness to be dragged to vaguely sportive activities on my side was perhaaaaaps prompted a bit by what happened at the hospital the last time we were there for some of Ma's check-ups. There was this fitness promo stand that was offering free blood pressure and body fat percentage measurements, and yours truly, masochist that I am went for a go of the latter option. It's amazing what these newfangled weight things can measure now, I got this whole barrage of data out of it. APPARENTLY, at 176cms/72kgs (5'8/158lbs) I am still in a normal weight range, but for my age class I am officially a "fatty" with my body fat percentage being a whopping 32,4% (over 30% pushes you over that mark, it seems. DAMN THE JUNK IN MY TRUNK). Lolllll the poor guy explaining the data to me was all trying his best to be ~tactful~ and ~optimistic~ about what I could do to change and I was just standing there cracking up because, wow, it sure is something to see that number black on white. But I also have a very good to extremely high bone density and an average muscle mass. Which would end the flood of data on a positive note, but nooo, I then got the memo that I apparently have the metabolism of a 30 year old, too XDD (my first reaction to that was basically 'WTF HOW CAN THEY MEASURE THIS BY ME STANDING ON SOME METAL BITS ON A SCALE?? XDD)


AH WELL, MUST TRY TO VAGUELY TOUGHEN UP*. Summer in Vienna is approaching! I am friends with Carmen and Hazel, both tiny and petite ladies! I do not want to look like their giant beached whale friend on our pictures! FIGHT FIGHT etc etc 8DD


*it seems that Carmen is going to sign me up for beginner's rock climbing classes with her at the USI anyhow?? Oh boyyyy~~

Woo for Now-President Obama! Spent Tuesday squeeing a bit on rahmbamarama and watching the Inauguration proceedings via CNN's online live feed that just managed to finally work in time for me to actually watch Obama get sworn in. Talk about lucky timing! What is there to be said really, besides the obvious fact that it was lovely to watch, and Obama's speech was making beautiful, beautiful love to the English language at times ♥

Which made it even more depressing, in a way, to come from that general feeling of all-round happiness to our PR-AT, where our obviously enthusiastic teacher (who even had a little Obama logo pin on her coat! O Hanni ILU even more now) wanted to get this discussion started and asked about our thoughts on the Inauguration/the new American politics and was then met with this resounding wall of indifference. And a strong hint of 'people who are psyched about this are somehow abnormal/lame/mindless US pawns'. There was this whole 'well the world shouldn't revolve around the damn amis and we should do well not to fawn over them too much' rhetoric that even Clemens was spouting, and I just started irrationally feeling really bad about being so excited. WHY YOU GOTTA BE SUCH DICKS, MY PR-AT PEOPLE DD:?? I mean, we moved on to the actual class lecture pretty quickly and it would've been a losing battle to really continue trying to defend my point, but it rankles nonetheless :///

I am also nearing a state of ~CALM PANIC~ for the Bildungspsychologie II exam this friday. I just need to pass this one elective! But it is a heckuva lot of stuff to study, and I doubt I would even crack the 4er mark if I do end up passing. GOODBYE BARELY ADEQUATE ELECTIVES GPA DD: The spectres of HIST-ARBEIT and BAKK1-ARBEIT und REFERAT are also looming menacingly over me, which is why I bought Häagen-Dasz Macademia Nut Brittle ice cream the other day! I needed it to uh, celebrate my continuous existence, oh yes ♥. IT'S ALL GONE NOW THO BOO ICE CREAM YOU NEED TO LAST LONGER.

And in loltastic dude news, I think I forgot to mention that sometime early last week St. Pölten dude drunk-smsed me at 2AM, and after some back and forth in a very illegible manner also confessed to me that: 'I think of yu[sic] every day, damn'. The 'damn' after the comma is such a lovely touch, lolol. And now he has even written me an email apologizing if he kind of made me feel awkward or anything-- I bet he just checked his outbox a few days ago and discovered what he actually sent off, ahhh. I mean, I was amused then and I am still amused, though maybe wincing at bit at the state of his English. Even sober it is a bit iffy, at least from what I've seen in written form so far. I should know better and actually try to just stick with German, but damn if I don't automatically default to English as my language of comfort and choice. CLEARLY I NEED TO DATE SOME AMERICAN/BRIT/AUSSIE/KIWI INSTEAD, WHERE ARE YOU FUCKS HIDING IN VIENNA D:

TRU FAX.

Today I had a very awesome nap on the couch! Tomorrow/later I shall meet with Migel in MBK! Laura is also finally in BKK and gave me a call! She's probably gonna come and sleep over on Wednesday (cause thu is public hols)! Chris' internship at Bayer is only a few BTS stations (and a whole lotta walking??) away!
=SCHWEET

Post on internship to come soon, have it all mentally mapped out, damn my laziness and lack of telekinesis skills so that I don't have to type it all up. Same goes for all emails I have yet to answer >_>;;

If I can get these done I can finally switch off my computer, guilt free! (It's been on standby for the last ...three days? LOL OOPS)

ART @DevArt:

__ SWEENEY TODD!. Man, the movie was so much more FUN than I expected. Ace music (who knew that Johnny Depp could sing so nicely) and I was consistently amused by the HP reunion that seemed to be happening in the movie. Snape! Wormtail! Bellatrix! Hehehe~
__ MOAR Sweeney (and Mrs. Lovett. My favorite songs were 'Try the Priest', the medleys that featured Sweeney and Anthony AND the song where you see Mrs. Lovett's dream sequence (A++ HILARITY o god I think I nearly choked on my popcorn at that bit). 'Pretty Women' just made me snicker like hell (but Alan Rickman has a really nice singing voice :D) and 'Johanna'.... ahahaha o man.

__ THIS just made me think of gwy. Pretty, pretty Kuchiki Byakuyaaaa-taichou.
__ Keeping with the Kuchiki theme, here be a really beautiful picture of 'real'!Rukia releasing her Zanpakutou.

__ DANTE IS BADASS. Enough said!
__ CLOUD STRIFE ain't too shabby either, in the badass video-game character category :Db. Love the way this is coloured so damn much.

__ LOLOLOL ...'Batman in Wonderland'. PERFECTION. Ahaha I need to send this to my ex-comics tutor!

__ GUH, the girl's outfit is gorgeous ♥. Love the details and the texture.

__ AXEL! I adore how this pic looks like a still from some KH2 anime or something ♥

BADASS Tutorials:
Reference for the day that I will get off my lazy ass and draw some more! (GOAL FOR THE EASTER HOLS??)
__ UNO
__ DOS
__ TRES

I am still giddy yet vaguely tired, so I suppose it is time to get back into the posting groooove (and hope that Kat's com starts working again?? Or that DOOM has passed?? ahhh).
Watched 'Hairspray' with Miss Olga today and I must say I had not expected it to be such a HAPPY MOVIE. I mean, I knew going in that it was upbeat, but JEEBUS CHRIST IT WAS LIKE A DIRECT INJECTION OF CRACK AND GLEEEEEEE. Total stalwart in my future DVD collection, yes yes. And a total moodlifter, I had a grin throughout most of the movie... except for like the last half hour maybe, as the results of drinking a liter of Coke made for a very squirmy wait for the last musical number to be done >_>;; (and to think I nearly ordered the 1.5l one ahaha o nooes).

Afterwards I even managed to clear the large lump of stuff away from my floor thanks to Olga stopping by afterwards, which really proves that I need people sitting in my room to actually make me productive. WAS IT GUILT OVERRIDING LAZINESS?? Had gotten a bit used to just stepping over the pile, I suppose! TOMORROW'S GOAL: SWEEPING?? O snap my days are truly fascinating .__.;;

( and here some random typed-up text when I was in Krimml )

Am now surfing around and reading some quite disturbing HP smut that I will have to wash out of my brain with some funny and fluffy stuff soon. And yet I keep clicking on things like this, gaah ...at least it's kinda a measure of how far I haven't sunken yet? BDSM and all this dom/sub hardcore kink or chan or loli/shota really kinda still gives me the freakin' heebie-jeebies and uh, not hot. :/

Should actually be cleaning up my room as Carrrrmen and Mina are coming over tomorrow for some (spanish)movie watchings and I'm supposed to play the host, and come to think of it I still have to look up some receipes for HOW to actually make decent burritos, even if I could kinda wing it from what V made last time I was at her place. Am proud that I have enough plates for guests though, and heck I could always just BORROW em from Sabrina like it seems to now be around here with things. But I at least got to use MY pots before she did today HAHAH! Dinner before 8PM, what a novelty!

Was quite happy with the day otherwise-- got to Soz.psych in the morning only 5 mins late; and Carmen and I were treated to Fabian's particular brand of neuroses again re: another personality test we did ahhh. We then later went to check out the book for the lecture and JUUUST managed to get the last library copy... So the next hour was spent photocopying 240 pages x2, but goddammit we have the required 6 chapters now and when next week(last week before hols YAY) the others will be running around trying to get their copies done, Carmen and I can kick back, pat ourselves on our backs and laugh about those fuckers. This goes for Fabian too as he chickened out about getting the copies done at the same load with us. Pffft, as if he'd actually spend the FIFTY-FIVE EUROS to actually buy the book!

Made a quick stop to Cafe Central and got a really nice looking fancy praline box for the Hubers too, all made out of wood with gold inlay text. Can vouch for the tastiness of the pralines too, as we couldnt resist and bought 2 each to try. Mine were cinnamon(TASTED LIKE XMAS MMMH) and champagne ♥

And to end this post on a tasty note-- lunch was a particularly memorable affair as I met up with Marie and was thus introduced to this really tasty japanese restaurant(Nara) near the place where I go grocery shopping anyhow. I HAD SASHIMI AND SUSHI AGAIN and there was ikuuuuura!!! and okay it cost me about 300 baht more for about everything instead of BKK prices BUT it was freshish! and tasty! and didnt fuck with my stomach~ A++ will come by again :Dbb
(ironically the coke was flat and tasted of ass tho D: ahh well nothing's perfect? lol)
