I just wrote a lovely post about this (if I do say so myself).

Then WordPress ate it.

Now I’m grumpy, so you’ll just have to imagine all the witty and wonderful things I had to say.

Feel free to join me as I cheer myself up. (Note: This *never* fails.)

For some reason I haven’t been in the mood to watch anything much while I was ill. So I read instead.
And what have I been reading? Slash, a book on British history, slash, Artemis Fowl, more slash, Dorian Gray. … My mind, it is addled <ô.Ô>

Anyway…Halloween is coming up. And although I 1) reject the observance of Halloween in Austria on the basis of it being an example of aggressive cultural imperialism and 2) will be spending the weekend in M-Zell, where they’re not too big on heathen rituals (homegrown or otherwise) I’ve been thinking about scary stuff.
Just to illustrate how very bored I can get when I’m stuck on a couch with intermittent headaches and what my doctor described as „generalised feeling of illness“ (translation: my body threw a several-day-long tantrum), here’s my list of the Top Scariest TV Show Episodes (in case anyone wants to do a marathon, or something):

1) Blink – Dr Who
2) Hush – Buffy The Vampire Slayer
3) Countrycide – Torchwood or, depending on how you like your thrills, Benders – Supernatural, or Home – X-Files (more or less variations on a really, really scary theme)
4) Legacy – Criminal Minds (That’s a very personal one. I just couldn’t get over the way the killer kept whistling „Joanna“ from Sweeny Todd while pushing his victims along the corridor *shudder*)
5) Squeeze and Tooms – X-Files

Er hat verloren.

Eine Runde Mitleid…

So, we sit there watching some obnoxious, clichéd Italian guy beat his chest on TV.

Me: Whoa…that guy thinks he’s Tony Soprano.
B: Oh? So you’ve finally watched that movie?
C: (almost at the same time) Did they ever catch that guy?

Me: ?
B: ??
C: ???

Note to self: Check whether present company has even the faintest chance of ‘getting’ your reference to TV-show-that’s-almost-unknown-in-Austria. If no, keep mouth shut.

The Bad News:
- I’m sick.
- The antibiotics I have to take are absolutely HUGE. Think watermelons. Or soybeans, at the very least.
- I have to drink Coke. Not Diet Coke. Regular Coke. Bleh.

The Good News:
- Skiing!!! On TV, but still ^^
- When the evil trolls aren’t tapdancing in my head, there’s lots of timewasters on the internet.
- When the evil trolls are tapdancing in my head, there’s good music that sounds nice even at a low volume.

Ist das nicht wunderbar? Ich bin ja soooo stolz *smirk*
