So... haven't written anything in a while. Just didn't feel like it. Events happened. Anyway, yesterday I, finally, saw The Wolf of Wall Street at the cinema. Didn't expect it to be so funny. Als...

At some point I'd like to get more into Byzantine history but I honestly don't know where to start. Been trying to find a good biography of Justinian (the first). My studies of German have pick...

So yesterday I saw The LEGO Movie at the cinema. Here will commence my review of the before mentioned movie: EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!! End of review. With a Rotten Tomatoes score as high as 95%...

So tomorrow we will be going to Oma's house. Finally. The original plan was to go weeks ago but then it got cold, and then it stayed cold. I'll finally make the cake Saturday. So it won't be a su...

4/2 in 2014

I'm so depressed... Did literally nothing productive today. Waste of space. Waste of time. Waste of future... What was the point of all this? Anyway, I won't see The Wolf of Wall Street next wee...

3/2 in 2014

So today I saw American Hustle in the cinema and just like with 12 Years a Slave I'm somewhat disappointed because it did not live up to its hype. Some spoilers follow, I guess. The story really...

So... the last time I posted something was like 20 days ago. I don't even wanna talk about my reading, I've hit the rock bottom of tiredness... or something to that effect, I feel I'm being overl...

Saw the Snowpiercer today and Wow was it just amazing! I went it in there thinking this will be some generic flick about the virtuous rebels fighting the evil empire and while it was that, of cou...

So, no posts for a while. Didn't really feel like saying stuff. So I finished reading The NeverEnding Story after a lot more days than it should have took. It was good but perhaps too jumbled ar...

I'm so depressed today. Spent my day just wasting it away on nothing. Tasks without progress. Failures upon failures. No end in sight. Is the delusion of a delusion merely an illusion? I'm sorry...

27/12/13 in 2013

Just couldn't wait so re-watched The NeverEnding Story yesterday. It was goose-bump inducing. I forgot how creepy it could be. Especially at the end when the Childlike Empress talked about how Ba...

25/12/13 in 2013

So began reading The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir today. It seems the chapters will be a bit longish. So far she mostly just went over her pre-Queen days and a bit about the first months of...

24/12/13 in 2013

So began reading The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. Can't help but having flashbacks of the movie which I haven't seen in years. I think I'll just have to re-watch it after I finish the book,...

23/12/13 in 2013

So, as I had somewhat predicted, I did end up quitting The Sword of Shannara. On the third day I looked upon the pages and had zero interest in trying to delve into its unreadable prose. It was j...

Okey, so for the first time in days when I click my Open Diary bookmark it actually loads the page. Like it actually exists or something. My last entry was like 9 days ago. So meanwhile I finish...

12/12/13 in 2013

Last year this would have been 12/12/12. No more for this generation. My head hurts and I think I'm sick. So on re-reading Catching Fire - we're 2/3 in and the games have just begun. I'd forgot...

11/12/13 in 2013

Warm blankets, sleeping, waking up late, days slipping by. So now at Catching Fire we're at the desperation part. We're on the eve of the revolution when you can feel it in the air but there's n...

10/12/13 in 2013

So began re-reading Catching Fire today. Finished where they just arrive at the Capitol as part of the victory tour. Yesterday I saw Le Week-End. It was a pretty good movie. The beginning was sl...

So no entry yesterday because I couldn't log in to Open Diary. Finished re-reading The Hunger Games yesterday. Went to bed at like 1AM. Oh why, why did I have to stay up to watch The Kingdom be...

So today my reading went off a lot better, even though for nearly three hours Nata was doing Iveta's hair. Noisy disturbances. Tomorrow I'll finish re-reading The Hunger Games. On Tuesday I'll st...

6/12/13 in 2013

So today we did a little better. I read 20 more pages of The Hunger Games than I expected. Now we are at the end of Part II. While I'm enjoying I can definitely see why I gave this book three sta...

I feel like I'm really swimming right now. Felt so depressed today. Can't seem to do, accomplish, anything. Set backs, set backs, more setbacks. I feel this whole learn German thing is not going...

4/12/13 in 2013

So today I began re-reading The Hunger Games. I had forgotten how to the point and simple the writing of the book was. Also Buttercup, the cat. Reading that part brought up memories of when later...

3/12/13 in 2013

So today I finished reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I thought previously that I would only finish on Thursday. But it just got so good and I couldn't stop reading. And it ended.. weirdly. It'...
