Streets of San Francisco
[Sometimes, when I have to get somewhere in a hurry, I wish this music were playing in the background. Just because.]

Hype I Can Believe In
This is fan-made. But I really, really, REALLY wish it weren’t.
I can has Nathan Fillion in tight green suit, pleez?

Izzard-Afternoon
I’ve been having an Izzard-intensive afternoon, and I figured I could share a bit of that:
Up next for me: More Eddie Izzard.
Small question: How come that guy walks so effortlessly in heels that I’d kill myself with? How does he do it? How does *anybody* do it?

Star Trek (2009)
I’m as much of a Trekkie as any girl can be without memorabilia, costumes or convention-snapshots to her name. I know this stuff and I love it dearly.
I’m also one of maybe three people on the planet who didn’t hate „Nemesis“ with the fiery heat of a thousand suns, so I was starved for more Trek.
This obviously influenced my opinion of the new film. For a qualified non-Trekkie-opinion, allow me to refer you to kalafudra.
As for me, I loved it. And here’s why…

VICTORY
Victory is mine!!! I drink from the keg of glory!!! Bring me the finest bagles in all the land!*
…Or rather, get me bagles later. Because it’s almost three in the morning and the mere thought of food just made me nauseous.
But I have accomplished my mission and kept that deadline. And it only took me until now.
Because I’m a Stupid Procrastinator who will apparently never, ever learn.
Because I’m a Stupid Procrastinator who will react to an e-mail stating „You have 3 weeks from today to do X“ with 1 week’s worth of agonizing over whether or not she is even willing to do X and being generally weltschmerz-y, followed by a week of „taking time off because I fucking deserve it even if I don’t really, but I want to, so there!!!“, followed by (almost) another week’s worth of agonizing over what shape X will take and whether she is even capable of doing X.
Because I’m a Stupid Procrastinator whose reaction to the realization of „OMG THE DEADLINE IS TOMORROW AND I’M SO SCREWED OMG!!!“ was to watch three episodes of Torchwood, go out for a coffee, go to work, come back, make dinner, eat dinner, watch Law&Order, watch CSI, and read 100+ items from my RSS-feed.
Because I’m a Stupid Procrastinator, as in not merely a professional Procrastinator, but also a FUCKING stupid one.**
But, I did it.
And now the questions in my life are as follows:
Do I sit down and brush up on my Latin grammar because I have two Matura-level tutees tomorrow and can’t remember what an ACI is?
Or do I *finally* write those Blogposts that are overdue already? (The promised ones and the ones I thought I should write because there’s stuff I’d like to rant about)
Or do I watch more Torchwood?
Guess what I’m going to do? Yeah. More Torchwood.
You know why? Because I’m a Stupid Procrastinator. That’s why.***
* Because no-one does moments of triumph better than Josh Lyman, the dominator of congressional sub-committees. And those of you who don’t get that reference have clearly not spent enough time with me ^_^
** Who apparently overdosed on a heady cocktail of caffeine and self-loathing, washed down with a chaser of hysteria.
*** No Procrastinators, stupid or otherwise, were harmed during the production of this post.

Not such a great piece of music (although it isn’t awful), but definitely an excellent theme, in that it tells you exactly what the show is going to be like and what it’s going to be about: The District
[In my more whimsical moments, I like to think that the trumpet stands for Chief Mannion, which isn't something I can explain without explaining the show, which I'm not going to do, so...yeah.]

Update
Ich bin seit gestern abend um halb 9 wieder hier in Aflenz.
Gestern war ich nimmer wirklich imstande zu bloggen.
Und heute ist es noch nicht einmal 8 Uhr früh…und ich hab auch nicht wirklich Zeit mich hier über all das auszulassen, was es zu berichten gäbe, weil wir heute nach M-Zell fahren, wo ich kein Internet habe. Ein ausführlicher Amsterdam-Post folgt also frühestens am Sonntag Abend.
Als Teaser:
Amsterdam: Anstrengend – schön – lecker
X-Men Origins: Wolverine: sucks, sucks, sucks!!!
Star Trek: Multiple Geek-Gasms worth of WOW!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you: Noir
[Which also happens to be a show I liked, but never got around to watching the end of...so I *still* don't know how it ends, or what the fuck was going on, really ^^"]

Was mich beschäftigt…
Ich hab’ heute zufällig die gleiche Schauspielerin in zwei verschiedenen Rollen gesehen.
Am Nachmittag war sie die Kommandantin einer Raumstation mit 250 00 Bewohnern von unterschiedlichen Planeten.
Und abends ist sie plötzlich eine $50 Mio-schwere Geschäftsfrau, deren Ehemann unter Mordverdacht steht.
Ist das, karrieremässig, ein Auf- oder Abstieg?
