I mainly compiled this lil' list for personal use, but I thought some of you might like it, too. So, here goes:

Heroes (season 2) September 24

Stargate Atlantis (season 4) September 25

House (season 4) September 25

Qi (series E) September 21

Well, I guess it's time to warm up those BT clients and clear some HDD space, for the summer is over and our heroes will be back very soon ^__^

Oh! "Who wants to be a Superhero?" season 2 finale in two days. Can't wait =)

And finally, expect pictures of my Doctor Who toys to arrive tomorrow. yamasagi and me had an awesome unpacking and tryout session this evening. And to be honest, more stuff was ordered as well, because my dear fiance just couldn't resist that black remote control Dalek. Bless him <3

Visiting goth stores tends to be rather frustrating if you happen to have more than skin on your bones -_-
I swear, if my IT career fails, I'm gonna open up a chain of alternative shops for normal-sized people.
Heck, I'm not even that extraordinarily fat, I'm just somewhat above average. But I couldn't find a single piece of clothing in there if my life depended on it.
Goddammit.

However, I got a new wallet. One with a chain, I always wanted one of these. Otherwise, it's nothin' fancy, just black with white skull'n'crossbones. Oh, and it was 3.50 Euros. Awesome ^_^

Also, if the conductors are planning to go on strike next week, I'll have a fit. Right now, it's not looking like it, but the possibility's definately there.

As many of you should know, I've been dying my hair red for a couple of years. To be exact, I've been doing it since December 2001.

I've always had somewhat thin hair compared to some girls I knew. Needless to say, it was pretty frustrating, and adding my boring natural hair colour didn't make it better.
So, I went red and stayed there.
But during the last, say one and a half years, things have constantly been getting worse. Mind you, I don't think I'm in any danger of getting bald, but it's certainly noticeable, especially because I usually wear the damn things in a ponytail (NO comments about bangs, silicondreams, 'kay? ^_~).
I need to change something since I don't wanna be stuck with either no hair or my stupid natural mid-blonde hair colour. However, it it seems that all chemical dyes are equally bad, no matter what brand or colour (Well, apart from blonde which must be deadly, but anyways). It's the damn ammoniac, I guess =_=

To be honest, I've been pretty desperate about this. Until today, when I finally remembered something that happened to me about two years ago.
Y'see, I was on my way home from yamasagis, and on the train, I met this nice, elderly lady.
She offered me some of her cherries (<3) and praised my hair. And she also suggested using henna instead of chemical dye because it's not dangerous.
Hell, why haven't I thought of that before?
Back then, I barely registered her comment, but right now, I'm entriely prepared to have a go at it.
I found some powder-y products that appear to make your hair really blindingly red. My natural hair colour is mid-blonde, so it won't be carrot-coloured afterwards (duh), but hopefully, still bright enough.
There's this brand called "Henna Plus Colour Powder". It comes in several coulous, one of them being "Super Red". That SO sounds like the right shtuff for me *snicker*

I've also been thinking about going black for some time. But I s'ppose it just wouldn't be me. Naah...

It seems they finally shipped my copy of "Making History".
Almost a month after my order.
Woohoo.
*kicks buecher.de again, just because*
>_

I recently discovered this shop on eBay. They print bags with costum logos.
Well, I wanted a bigger one anyway so I gave them two image fiels and asked whether they could put that particular logo on a bag for me.
The woman running the shop said sure thing, so I ordered.
When the finished item came in the mail, I was kinda impressed.
Even I didn't expect the thing to turn out this good...

( Woah Oo )

Also, happy tenth anniversary to everyone's favourite satirical, scandal-inducing cartoon - South Park!!
MTV Germany (They've had the rights to the series for a couple of years now) ran a countdown of the ten best episodes, as voted by users on their website.
"Woodland Critter Christmas" came fifth. I'd never seen it before but I think I now have a favourite episode. Stan refusing to do what the narrator says and the two arguing half the episode? Awesome, especially considering the narrator was played by that (un)fortunate audio crush of mine. I'm sure they had one helluva time dubbing that thing XD

On the other ahnd, I still don't have the slightest idea what to think about "Good Times with Weapons". Sure, the "Americans don't care about violence as long as there'S sex and nudity to ban" message of the episode was just brilliant. But the anime references? It just yelled "Japanese animation = Mindless violence" at me. Maybe I'm totally mistaken here, but I dunno really. Sometimes, I just get pissed when stuff I love gets parodied and I can't quite see the intention. I guess it's one of my more severe character flaws.

Someone just bought three books.
Three.
And yes, one of them is das Meisterwerk :D
For some odd reason, the others are by the same author O_o

*needs to read more* ^_^;;;

... because I felt it was appropiate.

Tip of the Hat to:

... Media Markt (chain of electronics stores) for putting up sooo many cellphones for everone to try. That way, I could hold a N73 in my hand. It's cute =)

... Mobilcom. Just when I was sure they don't wanna talk to me at all (and let's face it, they do look like the type of company to act like that) they sent me an email. More about that later.

... mum for giving me full control over about half of the money gran saved for me. 4200 Euros on a separate bank account. Woohoo~! And no, I'm not planning on spending it on useless crap. Also, I'm planning on using that account to actually save money.

... my new patchouli perfume for smellin' frickin' awesome ^___^

Wag of the Finger to:

... mum, again. This time for putting a shitload of pressure on me concerning stuff I have no control over. University applications aren't open yet, goddammt!

... our neighbours for doing bloody home improvement and scaring the cats with their loud banging and hammering. Way to go, fuckheads >:|

I just did a bit of research and noticed that I'll likely be able to get a smartphone in November. Okay, I do still love my faithful 6320i but... OMG smartphone O_o
And then, yamasagi is planning to get one, too, and I really wanna keep up the competition there *lol*

Hm. The way things look right now, I hopefully will end up with an N73.
You can't get it at 1€ yet, at least not with one of the cheaper subscriptions, but things usually change dramatically within a couple of months.
3.2 mega pixels (!!!), a Zeiss lens (OMFG), a flash for god's sake, the whole PDA/office deal, it runs Symbian and... shiiit.... *faints*
Also, they finally managed to make the memory cards hot swappable. No more taking the whole phone apart to change the card ^_^
Wow, what a piece of electronics.
I think I gotta adress the guy by calling him "-sama" O_O;;;

Also, new Koti album out on the 20th. I already heard the single "Sleep well" and the title track "Serenity". The latter one is hands down awesome. Mmh, lotsa good stuff this year ^_^

Alright. Root filling's done, tooth filling will follow on April 18, provided the sucker behaves until then.
Somehow, I've gotten so many during those last couple of weeks, I'm already starting to get used to them. I'm weird like that *shrugs*
The stuff they put in there tastes yucky, though. And I'm hungry as hell but can't eat anything since the reight half of my mouth is still feeling as if it wasn't even there. Meh.

To cheer myself up, I got this.
Yes, it's a skull. But it's got a clock inside. Cool, huh? Well, probably not XD

Tonight, we're gonna meet up with a friend of Yama's and his girlfriend to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Oberhausen. Yummy :D~~~

Last night, while riding the bus home, something occurred to me.
I live in the Ruhr Area now. Getting to any concert around here would merely take like, half an hour.
Heh. Guess I gotta watch some tour schedules quite closely from now on ^____^

Anyway. Gotta hoover the house now. Cleaning day today, y'see?

Max's power supply is fucked. But apparently, it's not just cuz of the usual reason* but because it has a factory damage. Instead of too little power, which I suspected, the thing gives out too much power causing the motherboard to shut down the booting process. The hell...?! Unfortunately, you need special equipment to find out about this. Which, of course, yamasagi has. Lucky. Actually, I'm luckyx2 since we found this out now and can (hopefully) still get it replaced. Now all that's gotta happen is mum finding the bill in the mess that is my former room. Fingers crossed, eh?

Also, the second battery Yama buolt for Kan-chan doesn't work. It keeps overheating and shutting down and we have no idea why. Ah, well. Those are still available on eBay so should I really need another one, I only need to invest about 45 Euros.
Actually, I much prefer the other option, which could be described as "Once I get a job, start saving some moolah to buy a shiny, new IBM laptop at some point later this year". Unfortunately, they're not the type of laptop starting at 600-something Euros. They're business machines after all so I guess twice the amount would be neccessary. But them being business machines also means they're hard-working and nearly indestructable (I know both of these traits from good, old Kan-chan. He's simply amazing even though he's about seven years old <3), service is good and they hardly have to be repaired. We just saw the results of c't's annual laptop service survey and IBM came first in all but one category (Dell came second).
Yeah. Can you tell how much I prefer IBM? I mean, look at those consumer brands. Bro's got an Acer. The touchpad died after a couple of months (!). Mum's got a Fujitsu-Siemens. You can't see it when it's turned on, but the glass of the screen is green, for god's sake :| (Companies these days love to save money by fitting cheap screens which reflect like hell and can hardly be looked at unless the room's nearly dark. Hello?!)
Anyway. For now, that's just a dream.

* A computer can either be on 24/7 or be powered off every night. Switching from one to the other two or three times kills the power supply. I could go into the technical details here, but I won't. Just let me tell you that it's a) true and b) a general problem of how power supplies are built. So no way of changing it.

Speaking of dream. "Yes! Precure 5" episode 5 just finished. I'mma watch that now, and then, it's time to do some stuff. There's lots and lots to do today so we'll have to see about Biffno *gulps*
