Habt ihr John Barrowman Fans das schon gesehen?

So. It's autumn, that means: Your favourite TV series are back in town.

Some thoughts to the 3 I actually watch.

( Cut for Spoilers for NCIS, House MD and Supernatural )

So that's all for my fannish babble, feel free to ignore I just wanted to get it out there;P

Oops, forgot to post happy day 8. That was Saturday, right?

Went to zhishan's to meet with some great ladies she met over the internet and in the evening we went to a gig of her brother's band. That's my happy right there.

It's been so strange to go to a concert again after a month. I mean in Japan I went to at least one concert every week. The music was different but cool. The whole thing felt very strange but nice.

I have to say though Saturday night (9pm) in a Swiss city is not very nice, especially if there is a soccer match around. *hates drunk soccer fans* I vastly prefer Japan:/

Now zhishan is staying at my place since my parents are on holiday so I might not be as online as at other times;)

ETA: Forgot the random link, it's again from Sid:)

Today's happy? It's friday = weekend.
Seriously. I had to get up at 5.30 and my train had a 14 minutes delay and I have to watch that abismally bad Drama "Boku no Ikiru Michi" with the ugliest of all SMAP members at uni. This is not a good day.

In other news (that probably don't interest anyone). Still haven't watched the final of Buzzer Beat but the Season Premieres of House and NCIS had both some aspects of awesome. The plot of House was not really that intriguing but I guess it was necessary. The filming on the other hand though was gorgeous! I'm looking forwar to seeing how this new House turns out. (And yay for Franka Potente=)
NCIS... well. I hope they send Ziva to therapy and that Tony gets over that obsession. Apart from that? The endless terrorist angle is starting to annoy me but here's to hope.

/rambling

Have another random link.

Today's happy is getting gifts from cute japanese girls as a Thank You for dinner last week. And walking through the food department of Jelmoli=)

This meme is rather depressing because I have to think way too hard to find happies in my days:/ But I hope it'll get better once I'm used to Uni again;)

Dinner and movies yesterday was quite lovely!<3

Up is a wonderful if very, very, very sad movie. It was my first 3D movie and I have to say I'd do that again;P

Have a random link=)

Well then. Until tomorrow=)

Already day 5?!

I probably won't be able to access the internet again until it's tomorrow again so I will tell you this morning what today's happy will (should;) be. If there's more I'll add it;P

Happy 5: Going to the cinema to see Up with a bunch of very good friends.=)

Dear me! I forgot to post a happy yesterday!
Well, seeing as it was monday my happy was my after uni treat of new books and a box of the most delicious truffes from Sprüngli.*drools*

And today's happy is not much of a happy either seeing as I did nothing. The happy is sleeping in.

(I don't have to go to Uni on Tuesday so I wanted to see if I could work at home. I can't)

Apart from the happy meme a little something about a course I have to repeat: It's a language course but with the new system they teach the grammar that we learned in first year in the second year. Yes, I will be bored to tears every monday. Meh. Shanai and so on.

And on a entirely different note: Buzzer Beat's final episode aired yesterday but I don't know if I want to watch it because that would mean no weekly Yamapi anymore. Good thing SPN, House and tonight NCIS start again, eh?;P

Todays happy? We were invited for dinner at my uncle's place which always means the most delicious Thai-food=D (His wife is Thai). It was a very nice evening including some holiday videos of their last trip to Thailand. I sooo want to go;)

Good night=)

I got tagged by chatona:)

1. Post about something that made you happy today even if it's just a small thing.
2. Do this everyday for eight days without fail.
3. Tag eight (or as many as you want) of your friends to do the same.

♥I had quite a few happies today.
Helped my mom at the local museum night at the Circus Museum to do clown make ups for kiddies, they were soooo cute! And my former math teacher came by with a hen-party and they all got red noses too;P
And I could talk Japanese with a mum and her little boy=)♥♥♥
Last happy for today: I'm making bread for tomorrows brunch:) Yummy!

I do not tag but feel free to share your happies.XD

Another happy! I did not miss it this year! Yarr!

#So.
I think I promised Tim a blog, didn't I?

Hmm, well Switzerland.

It's been already two weeks again since I got back and it seems like a dream (ha, I bet everyone says that!)

What did I do...

Met up with friends, ate delicious food from home ...and Chinese;) Did a little trip around Switzerland with my dad met my family again.

The weather is - well, it's autumn in Switzerland: if it's not gray it's raining:/

I got a new haircut and a cold. Blergh.(Blergh to the cold, I love the new haircut!)

University is kinda the same old total CHAOS as always. I'm more than halfway through the first week and I might have it halfway organized:/

#Went to see Inglorious Basterds. Pretty awesome. I loved how good the actors were with the different languages:)

#Heard the new Muse album yesterday and to be honest, I found it (dare I say it?) too pretentious to be good.

#You want a happy post? Try again in a few days.

#going to dinner with two girls from Osaka University who are studying in Zurich for a year (we met them in Osaka before=)

#First week and I'm skipping but I'm sick and entitled>:P

#started reading 1Q84 in class today that will not be as bad as I thought. The translations of Murakami make more of him than he is in my opinion.

#I wanna go back. BAD! I need a job but where to start looking?

#Will shut up now. I hope the next entry will be happier.

P.s. Fashion here is so boooring and grey;_; fits well with the weather:/
Oh, and I got tickets for the Prodigy gig in Zurich at the end of November=D

I'm back in Switzerland.

That's all=)

So. I'm sitting here in my room and being stood up. All in the mind set for leaving the house but not really going anywhere. Insted of combatting the mess in my room I decided to bless you all with another rambling update;)

As I wrote in my last post I went to Tokyo last week on Tuesday and spent wonderfully layd back days with zhishan and some others. On Wednesday we went for 3.5 hours of Karaoke (the two of us) and I'm sure all 7 floors of the karaoke place heard us doing Living on a Prayer.XD

On Thursday we met with Lomaichi, it was so nice seeing her again!=) I wanted to take the two to this fabolous restaurant where I was with my family in April (it was in practically all guides) but when we finally found it they had closed down;_; So insteda we went to the Elephant Cafe which has a very nice lunch offer and after that a bit of shopping at the Omotesando.

On Thursday evening we went to a concert of a guy (bassist) that contacted us both on Mixi (the japanese Facebook) which was quite good. There was an AWESOME girlband with a singer that kicked ASS! And a woman aroung 40 I guess that sung 80's Hardrock songs on her accoustic guitar=D

After the concert was done the bassist and the guitarist insisted that we stayed for the night to drink and it followed a very funny, very crazy night full of eating, drinking and karaoke:D

Friday afternoon I had initially planned to meet jez69er and a friend of hers at the Gundam on Odaiba but as her bus was 3 hours late that turned out to be impossible;_;
I took an earlier Shinkansen back to Osaka and met Tim and we went out with a bunch of Kiwis and 2 Japanese.

Early Saturday morning we took off for Tokushima on Shikoku for the Awaodori which was very impressive!

We stayed with friends of friends of friends or something like it;P and left early Sunday morning for Osaka.

Then followed a dinner and party with goodbyes, 2 concerts with more saying goodbye and finally a quiet evening at home yesterday.

I finally organized the shipping of all our Stuff back home and the packing will start on Monday!~.~

No I have to get my ass up to cancel my internet (I know, woe is me!!!). I sent a facebook invitation for saying bye, I have plans for the last few days... Hm, feels strange somehow.

Well, anyway, 9 days left and I just hit my head on the wall when I realized.T_T

I'm sitting in the Shinkansen to Tokyo and finally have some time and am in the mood for updating my lj again;)

Though, I seem to have bettered myself with frequent updates=D

So onto it. The last week. You'd think it's only a week, there couldn't be that much to write, right? Boooy, you're wrong!;P

So Last week of classes of which a lot were canceled and most of the rest I didn't go to and starting saying good bye.

Wednesday jez69er and me went to Minoh and to the book off where I once again bought too many CD's and a Metallica Box for 2000Yen, I couldn't help myself. XD

Thursday our grammar teacher Atsuta took us out for dinner and Starbucks afterwards, the whole class!ô_O She's the bomb, everyone just loves her because she is so cool and nice and anyway;D

On Friday I went to buy her a present in the name of the class which we handed over after her classes were finished and she invited us to Sushi!`_O We had a very nice afternoon talking about god, the world and love with her=D

Saturday was the Rock! Scissor! Paper! Live where I saw T.C Speaker for the last time;_; Well, I will definitely go visit them when I come back here;D
The void-llama, jez69er and me stayed on for the afterparty until 3am, when they kicked us out so we went to a Family restaurant to get out of the heat (yes, it is too hot to be outside even at 3am!) and try to sleep and eat.
We then took the first train at 5.09 and jez69er went home while the void-llama and me went to MacDonalds in Tennoji where we ate breakfast and were able to sleep for two hours until they kicked us out.XP So we went to Mister Donuts to change and then we were off to Summer Sonic, whick was all kinds of epic and definitely worth the horrendous price;D

Summer Sonic was a real openair, meaning it was raining the whole day=) In the evening my blue shoes looked like my kaki pants;)

We saw a lot of great bands special mentioning goes to: Real Reach who were in Top Shape again; Paolo Nutini who was delightful; and Placebo who only played one song because Brian Molko collapsed after the first song. Oh and B'z because they were all kinds of awesome and I definitely understand the Hype about them:)

After Summer Sonic I was officially dead until Monday, 1pm.
Yesterday evening I met with a friend for dinner and afterwards we went to a gamecenter where we had so much fun shooting zombies and singing Karaoke that I totally lost track of time and had to walk home from Kitasenri (40min uphill).

Today was the Closing Ceremony for the M Course Exchange Students. It was mercifully short and the free food was plentiful and delicious;D

After that I packed my bag and took off for Tokyo to spend some days with zhishan and after that I'm off to Shikoku for the weekend.

Take care, love to you all!=)

Good Evening to everybody!=)

Since I decided to not write that Linguistics essay that would blow my brain out anytime and especially at 00.18 Monday morning, I have some time on my hands and my laptop in hands;)

I left off the last time just before the Morning River Summit, a 6 hour outdoors concert. The bands were different from what we usually see here but brilliant in their own right! I really fell in love with Andymori and Union Square Garden!

After the concert we went to Umeda to eat dinner and wonderful waffles for dessert and a little detour to the gamecenter where jez69er won a giant Lilakkuma clock.ô_O

The sunday after that we went back to more punk-ish music to a concert which was basically great but the location was sooo tiny and there were so many people that it was pretty much unbearable^^
But we still had loads of fun=D

Monday was Marine Day, which means a very random excuse for a national holiday. Which I used to do nothing much besides a bit of schoolwork and watch real tv (thanks to Merri;)

In that week there was a schooltrip to Kyoto to the Fushimi Inari Shrine which is in my opinion the most magical and most beautiful shrine ever and after that we went to visit a Sake factory with a little museum where we got Alcohol as a souvenir from our teachersô_O... only here, only here.XD

Then on the 25th we went to the Tenjinmatsuri (Giant festival to celebrate something or other;) in Osaka and had a lovely evening!

Then the last normal schoolweek started which included a tiny live from jez69er, a joke of a final presentation, lots of tests, going out for sushi with our tutors to say goodbye and other minor depressing stuff (having to do with saying goodbye).

Yesterday we went to cash in that Lunch thing that I won at the Yukata contest and afterwards to the PLHanabi (The biggest fireworks in Japan, I was told).

That lunch... was nice but. The place was indeed as posh as it seemed. We saw not only two Bentleys parked outside but a Maybach(!!!)! Somehow we all felt as if we would get kicked out any second for not being refined enough or something;) and I was certainly glad of all those lessons on manners from my grandmother:)
The food was very very tasty, especially since I'm normally not a big fan of traditional-traditional japanese food.

Afterwards we parted ways with the guys because they wanted to go shopping and we wanted to get more food. Yeah, figures - only in Japan.*lol*

I changed from my luxurious silk dress to armypants and tanktop and we met with some others to start the trek to the south of Osaka where the fireworks where held.
They were very impressive but 5minutes after the start there was so much smoke that we only saw about 40% or less. We still had a nice time though=D

Though the journey back home was hard on my nerves. I am so not a people person!XD

Next week is gonna be somewhat of a joke because the grades have to be handed in tomorrow or Tuesday and after that neither students or teacher care much anymore. Well, we'll see.

Next weekend: Last T.C Speaker concert for me and Summer Sonic *wooooot*

Oh yeah Summer Sonic I'm going to go on Sunday and looking massively forward to it! It will be the third time I see Real Reach (they were at Morning River Summit too) and the "western" acts should be pretty interesting too=D

Ok, gonna shut up now.
Good whatever time of day it is where you are=)

This is so true:

Clicky!

Oh, and if it interests anyone: I'll be back in Switzerland on August, 30th at 21.40 or so=)

I know I promised pictures but I have been incredibly unlucky in the area of data saving lately.
It started with my external harddrive taking a dive from the windowsill which resulted in 450GB of Music, Movies, and about 6years worth of pictures to just disappear.
And it continued with just deleting without reason everything I had on the dvd that I used to unclutter my computer (= all the pictures I hadn't uploaded yet;_;)

So you get a pictureless update on friday and saturday:)

Friday: Hanabi (fireworks, mostly handheld ones and small rockets this time) with a bunch of Japanese, mostly chinese students. The whole thing felt somehow very TV/Movie worthy:> Very nice and very "japanese".

After Hanabi we (me and jez69er) went to Karaoke with 4 others. We started at 12 and left at 5am^_^ The others sang mostly Enka and chinese sugary-sweet popsongs. So, naturally, I sang Metallica and AC/DC - and japanese popsongs^^"

It was quite amazing how fast these 5 hours passed even with that kind of music.*G*

Saturday: Came home at 5.20am, stopped on the way home at MCD's so I could have a McGriddle in bed.XD Got up at around 11am to go to the Morning River Summit. Outdoor concert from 14.00 til 20.00 which was filled with pretty awesome and pretty crazy bands=)

After the concert we went to Umeda for dinner and gamecenter.

And now I have to get ready for the next concert today=)

Love to you all!

I’m deeply sorry for my lengthy absence but I seem to have acquired a social life!ô_ô
I know, I’m shocked too;)

( Phew! )

Hopefully it won't take this long till the next update.

Picture-links will be in the next post^^"

Haven't posted one in ages and everyone is doing it=)

I am currently changing my wallpaper almost daily. But this is what I "won" yesterday night.XD
