Drifting somewhere in the vast

So, one of the cool things about working online and doing design stuff is that you get to surf on a lot of funny designing sites with great pictures. Here are a few of the things I stumbled upon, plus some other stuff that is ~relevant~ to me.

Paintings of Russian Generals with celebrety faces.
My favourites are Sir Ian McKellen and - YIS - Robert Downey Jr.

Some very awesome Avengers illustrations.

Minimalist superhero posters.

The Many Faces Of
This is a site that composes blog entries about actors in some of their roles under a certain topic. Like, Alan Rickman playing villains. It's really great and funny and there are even awesome statistics and graphics to support their theories. XD Be sure to check out Rickman and DiCaprio, but beware spoilers if you haven't seen their movies yet.

Homosexualität im Fußball: "Wir brauchen keinen schwulen Märtyrer"
"Du schwule Sau" oder "Du Schwuchtel" wird jeder Fußball-Fan im Stadion schon einmal gehört haben. Das Wort "schwul" wird im Fußball als Verhöhnung der Gegner eingesetzt. Im Gegensatz zur Politik oder der Unterhaltungsbranche scheint der deutsche Fußball eine schwulenfreie Szene zu sein. Wir sprachen mit Mario Weiße, dem Chef des schwulen/lesbischen Fanklubs "Queerpass Bayern" über homosexuelle Fans, Outing und die Probleme in deutschen Stadien.

Yeah, I know I'm pretty much out of the footie fandom, but things like that still keep my attention and despite gmx being a horrible site, this is actually a decent article. Nothing quite new, but readable.

And last but not least: I wrote the first ~350 words of my fic for the Deutsch Big Bang. \o/ Haha, I know, it's not a lot, but considering the fact that I've been dancing around this for almost 2 months, this is huge progress. One of the reasons why I finally started writing might have been this tumblr post WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH THE START AND THE CLIMAX OF MY STORY. Asdfjlsjdlfkd. BRB, watching those gifs forever.

Found in "smile-lyrik" (dtv). All in German, though.

OMG UMBRIDGE STOP TEXTING ME is my favourite thing at the moment and never fails to cheer me up, though.

AND OMG DARREN CRISS COMES TO GLEE TONIGHT I CANNOT EVEN. *FLAIL*

Somehow, I find this to be incredibly adorable:

Ein Ingolstädter für die Philippinen - »Ich dachte an einen Irrtum« (An Ingoldstädter plays for the Philippines - "I thought it was a mistake")

Seems to be a nice guy. Now I want to see the Philippine national team play, but according to Wikipedia they're too crappy to reach more than the first rounds, lol. (I also feel a little stupid for never looking them up on the internet before.) Anyone knows when the next Asian tournament might be? XD

Tag 14 – Ein Buch aus deiner Kindheit / A book from your childhood

Achtung, Zeitfalle! by Andreas Schlüter (in English ~ "Watch out, time trap!")

( summary + lots of gushing )

So I was watching the match via livestream yesterday, right? Well, by the end of the match pretty much everyone of the supposed football haters were sitting around me and kept giving me their two cents about the match. Suddenly, everyone was highly informed about the Mannschaft. Lol. "BAH, stupid football" my ass. (And then we got nearly blown away and drowned by a thunderstorm.)
ANYWAY, I'm so glad we at least made third place (again). Thank you guys, you were fantastic.

Tag 09 – Das erste Buch, das du je gelesen hast / The first book you ever read

Die Ducktales - Der kleine Kobold / The Ducktales - The little Leprechaun
( summary + blurb )


Tag 10 – Ein Buch von deinem Lieblingsautoren/deiner Lieblingsautorin / A book by your favourite author

Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett
( summary + blurb )


Tag 11 – Ein Buch, das du mal geliebt hast, aber jetzt hasst / A book you loved once, but hate now

Dragon Fire by Wolfgang & Heike Hohlbein
( summary + blurb )

Third of four exams over and done. I'll have a little breather of one and a half week until the last one, with Japanese somewhere inbetween (but I'm not counting that one). I'm officially braindead for the rest of the week. That's the perfect state to get drunk and let off steam while watching football tonight, y/y? *is already killing the rest of her brain with listening to High School Musical*


YES PLEASE. Me and my stomach have been a mess since this morning. The suspense is killing me. For the love of everything holy and shiny, let Paul be wrong. *crosses fingers and runs off*


PS: I'm so sorry for the spamming lately, but the World Cup makes me a mess. It will end after Sunday.

I can't believe I freak out over a psychic sea-creature, but I was already nervous before and now I'm anxious.

Might also have to do with the stupid exam in a few hours (Broadcasting) THAT MAKES ME FREAK THE FUCK OUT because it's so unpredictable and I feel like I don't know enough or only the parts that won't be questioned.

AAAAAAAAAAARGH. When will this week end already?

DID I MENTION I HATE PENALTY SHOOT-OUTS? Argh, and I was so rooting for Ghana. They would have deserved it. (Damn you, Suarez for that handplay. I hope the Dutch will crush Uruguay.)


Tag 02 – Das Buch, das du als nächstes liest/lesen willst / The book you're going to read next

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
(I guess a summary won't be necessary. ;))

This will be the umpteenth time I read this book, but the first time in English. Don't ask me how or why, but CoS is the only HP book I never had the opportunity to read in English up until now, despite it being my favourite volume. I bought it several months ago with this very shiny, very pretty "adult" cover.


Tag 03 – Dein Lieblingsbuch / Your favourite book

The City of Dreaming Books (original title: Die Stadt der Träumenden Bücher) by Walter Moers

( summary + my two cents )

( Homophobia in RPG? )

Playing Fallout 3 lately and it is somewhat really addictive. I could play this all day, except that I'm already becoming nervous because of my upcoming exams which I have to learn a crapload of stuff for. So ...

I'm going on my usual learning hiatus until the middle/end of July. Prepare for even more random and panick-stricken postings, because my procrastination bar will rise into infinite heights in the next few weeks. That being said: off for some more uni work and then watch Germany play tonight. (The World Cup is being lots of fun so far, surprisingly. Most of all, it's just nice to see good football again.)

ETA: YAY for Ghana winning!!! :D
ETA2: Those fucking fire-ants in Fallout are driving me insane. The constant foreboding clicking! The fire spitting! The absolutely disgusting corpses! I hope I'm out of that area asap, these things are making me really sick.

Why did I love football again? - Oh yeah, right. Because of THIS.



'Nuff said. Also, the bigger brother of the Langkamps aka Matthias is blond now. Interesting.
