Gokusen (WikiLink) What's it about? Nerdy teacher really is a yakuza princess and helps her loser class by kicking ass. In three series. And a movie. What do I say? This actually is a must-watch, because it's so famous. Even if is totally formulaic: delinquent gets into trouble, Yankumi takes off glasses, beats down army of thugs, delinquent is instantly reformed. But nerdy Yankumi is cute and

First Kiss (WikiLink) What's it about? Stupid girl might die and before that happens she decides to annoy her brother she hasn't seen in a long time. What do I say? Sorry, I know a lot of people really like this, but I completely hated it. I usually love Inoue Mao, but her character was so grating that I actually started cheering for her illness. Her brother was the guy with the freakishly

2009-09-11T22:14:00.000+02:00

Dragon Zakura (WikiLink) What's it about? Losers want to get into Todai, Yankumi brilliant teacher helps them. What do I say? Don't look at me like that, I did not find this during a YamaPi spree, if you will believe it. I watched it for Masami Nagasawa - she seems to be Nino's girlfriend (from Arashi), and I read that everybody hated her. So I wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was

2009-09-11T22:02:00.000+02:00

Densha Otoko (WikiLink) What's it about? Nerdy guy saves a beautiful lady on a train and has no idea how to date her. His otaku friends help him via chat. What do I say? Allegedly a true story. A really famous jdorama, too, so kind of a must watch there. The story itself is indeed kind of cute, but the main character is really whiny which gets on your nerves after a couple of episodes. And the

Coffee Prince (WikiLink) What's it about? A girl adopts a boy's identity to work at a coffee shop and falls in love with the owner. Who has her pretend to be his gay lover to get his grandma off the idea of marrying him to various women. But then he falls in love with her (the girl who is pretending to be a boy, not his grandma). Which makes him depressed about his homosexuality. Will he

Code Blue (WikiLink) What's it about? Flying doctors. Well, actually interns who want to get on the brand new shiny Doctor!Helicopter. But they are all stupid. Except for YamaPi, who is some kind of genius. But especially the girls. And that guy with the glasses. What do I say? OK, this pretty much tries to be "ER", but isn't really. I personally - but that might be my western world view - was

2009-09-11T21:17:00.001+02:00

Buzzer Beat (WikiLink) What's it about? Well, some would say it is about a basketball team and a couple of people who fall in and out of love. Another point of view is that it is about YamaPi playing basketball, and then showering. A lot. (Sometimes he's also in the bathtub, but who's picky?) What do I say? As I write this the dorama isn't finished yet (Pi fell victim to swine flu and the last

2009-09-11T20:55:00.000+02:00

Akihabara@DEEP (WikiLink) What's it about? A couple of otaku misfits (is that a pleonasm?) found a "detective agency" in Akihabara, and solve cases. Weird cases. And they all have secrets. Weird secrets. What do I say? I watched this in my Toma Ikuta phase right after watching HanaKimi. I adore Toma Ikuta, even though he can't act his way out of a paper bag. Even if this is one of his better

I've decided to use this blog to write stuff about jdoramas (etcetera). Note that this is supposed to be for fun and games - if you disagree with anything I say, go ahead and leave a comment, but death threats or something like that will get your comment deleted. And I will laugh at you. Well, at the computer screen, but you get the picture. I'm going in alphabetical order, by the way, not in

Nachdem der Brummfisch wieder geht, streiche ich hier wieder meine Segel in der kleinen uralten Heimat - möge sie in Frieden ruhen, bis ich sie wieder brauche.

2008-06-24T05:45:00.002+02:00

So, jetzt bin ich also wieder da. Heute mach ich mich mal daran, den Brummfisch zu reparieren. Und mein Handy, was leider auf dem Weg hierher beschlossen hat, dass es gerne alle Daten formatiert haben möchte, und mein harsches NEIN (IEEEE) irgendwie ignoriert hat. Das hat leider die Fotos vom letzten Tag gelöscht (glaube ich zumindest, gebe aber die Hoffnung erst auf, wenn ich das Ding jemand

Heute wollte ich nach Harajuku, noch ein paar Presentos sowie noch Manga shoppen. Harajuku fand ich auch ohne Probleme, aber der "Book Off" Store, wo ich die Mangas kaufen wollte (schön billich, weil gebraucht), entzog sich meinem Zugriff. Ich hatte nämlich nur die Adresse, und das ist in Tokio ja eher tödlich, man sieht auch an jeder Straßenecke verwirrte Leute mit Ausdrucken aus dem Internet

Onsen ist UnsinnNein, ist es nicht, aber das war so ein schöner Titel. Da bin ich wieder, um von meiner Onsen-Erfahrung zu berichten. Gestern fuhr ich also mit dem Zug ins schöne Hakone-Gebiet, welches bergig und vulkanig ist und deshalb unter anderem auch heiße Quellen beherbergt, und somit auch Onsens, wo man schön heiß baden kann. Dort hatte ich mich im besten Hotel am Platze eingemietet, dem

Sonne & StrandNachdem der Wettermann gestern beharrlich auf die große Sonne über Japan deutete, war mir etwas mulmig, dass doch der Regenschauer über uns hereinbrechen würde, aber ich hielt eisern an meinen Plänen fest und fuhr an den Strand. Und zwar nach Enoshima, wo Surfstrand sowie Sightseeinginsel geboten ist.Ich ging erst einmal über eine Brücke zur Sightseeinginsel. Auf der Brücke hatte

Nachdem der Wetterbericht für heute Regen, Regen, Regen angekündigt hatte, hatte ich mir Indoor-Aktivitäten verordnet. Ich habe mich gestern ohnehin versehentlich auf meine neue Sonnenbrille gesetzt, und es hat sich damit ausgesonnenbrillt.dUnd zwar wollte ich erst ins Kino - der Matsumoto sagte gestern, dass sein neuester Film nicht so gut läuft (wer ein Plakat gesehen hat, wundert sich nicht,

HEUTE - BESTEST CONCERT EVER! Arashi Dream A LiveAlso eins mal vornweg: Meine Herrn! Je-Der-Cent-Gut-Investiert! Ich meine, billig war es ja nicht. Wobei mein Geld nicht an Herrn Johnny geht (dem die Arashis nebst vielen anderen Boybands nämlich gehören, und wo am Ende die Knete grundsätzlich hängenbleibt), sondern an den komischen Shop, wo ich die Karte gekauft habe - regulär sind die Dinger

GESTERNHeute wollte ich mir etwas göttlichen Beistand suchen, und ja auch noch mal orakeln, und fuhr deshalb morgens nach Asakusa zum Hase-Schrein, wo bereits die Hölle los war. Ich fand aber dennoch gleich das Orakel und orakelte frisch drauf los. Da schüttelt man so eine Art großen Zahnstocherhalter, in dem sind Stöckchen drin, die aussehen wie Ess-Stäbchen. Oben aus dem Loch schüttelt man dann

I've been sick the last two days - not enough hydration ... I hate drinking. Strange because I like eating and whenever I'm eating out I'm always drinking a lot. Only at home or in the office do I feel reluctant to drink. Anyway, I applied my trusty Winnie-the-Pooh hot-water bottle and am feeling somewhat better. Only one thing: Remind me next time when I say: "Oh, I'm not taking my headache

Need to get up real early but would rather watch The Shield which is on now at the moment, which I've never seen before but which seems interesting. I like watching TV series that take place in a police station - especially late at night. Used to be a big fan of Night Heat, too, which was always on at one a.m. while I was still in school, young and could take going to bed late and getting up

I'm back Yay! Project's (almost) over. I'm not sure I like being a business woman. Miss the cats, miss the BF, miss home. Strange, because I like travelling, I just don't like being with strange people every hour of the day. Makes me queasy or summat. Fun Fact of the Day: England may end up in a different time zone than Scotland. Wow. There you are, on the same island, but don't have the same

Oh dear, it's been really long since my last entry and it'll be really long until my next. What happened? Been away on business, acquired a boyfriend, going away on business again on Monday. Met the boyfriend over the internet - see? It does work, kids. Don't try this at home. You never know if there's mass murderers out there! At the moment: Waiting for my mass murderer to arrive.

I like this smiley --> o_O <-- cause it looks so flabbergasted. I also like the word "flabbergasted". Have I mentioned that? Well, I do. Yesterday I was watching the MTV VMAs and I felt really old since I didn't know half of the people and considered them to be dressed like a blind man in a rag factory. Also cornrows seem to be all the rage at the moment. WHY? Vicky Beckham is preggers again.

It's raining, I haven't been to the doctor yet but I am feeling somewhat resigned about everything and don't really care. And I'm hungry. Working wreaks havoc with food issues - I'm much too lazy to prepare stuff beforehand. Each morning I spend 2 Euros at the bakery and just buy crap to tide me over until lunch / dinner / whatever snack's in my desk drawer at the time. And most of the time I

Today's Special: Link Soup Pretty picture from way, way up high It's a miracle - the incredible Winking Jesus! Is your flag crap? Do you hate those clashing colours on the Brazilian flag? Bored with the Libyan flag? Amazed by Japanese simplicity? See what Josh has to say. If I'm cut off in traffic one more time, I'll get ONE OF THOSE BABYS and then we'll see who has the last laugh! Muahaha!

2004-08-24T20:49:00.000+02:00

No wonder my mood is rotten - I feel like total crap. I have hot and cold flashes and my heart beats like crazy. This in turn makes me feel really antsy all the time, as if I'm nervous or stressed out. People are asking me whether something bothers me all the time - apparently I also look stressed. I couldn't sleep very well the other night and I am rather tired. These are all symptoms I had last

2004-08-24T12:18:00.000+02:00

I'm in a crap mood today so I'm reading Maddox and agreeing with everything. Especially the piece about Mel Gibson's tits. Teach it, brother.

I don't like fighting with people. Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes that's a bad thing. Whenever I DO fight with somebody, I feel excruciatingly bad and most of the time I can't sleep a wink. That's not the case today but I'm still somewhat uneasy. And it wasn't even a huge fight. Bah. Also, I wish I wouldn't always keep racking my brain (yes, it is the correct way to spell it, I checked

Today the phone rings. It's the Mops, calling from Berlin. The Mops has locked himself out of the apartment and wonders where his girlfriend is spending the evening. As it may be, he just has acquired a new mobile phone which unfortunately does not contain her mobile number. Fortunately, though, he could dial our number by heart (see! it's important AND easy to memorize our phone number!) and TA

They take crap cars and paint them in screaming colours and do stuff like installing chandeliers or coffeemakers. Usually they also add a totally useless high-price gadgets like a PSII or a wide-screen TV in the trunk or a

Feeling rather tired. I've done so much sightseeing over the last weekend it can't be expressed in numbers anymore. There still is so much left over to sightsee, though! My feet ache, too - why is it that sandals always kill feet? Blisters all over. The last hour or so I walked barefoot and that even though we've been cooling our feet in rivers/lakes/whatnot this weekend. "We" meaning B. and

Today I feel sick. Stayed home from work, too. I certainly hope that I will feel better tomorrow as I have a) lots to do at work b) need to clean the apartment c) we're getting a new couch d) I'll have a visitor over the weekend and need to prepare (see b)) e) lots of other stuff still pending - do you need to GO to a police station to tell them about the loss of your bike or can you just call

This weekend I've been trying out new restaurants. On Friday S. and me went to have dinner at the new Indian place round the corner which was excellent (the Indian place not the corner). Yesterday some friends and me went and had Lebanese food at Sahara City. Really good as well and rather exciting to boot what with the belly dancer and everything.

I'm baaaaack. Not for long, on Tuesday I have to go to the US, but that will be the last trip for a while - I should be home in August in case anybody wants to drop by.

Got lost in a Frankfurt park which was fenced in with barbed wire - I crawled through a hole and did not

2004-07-12T12:01:00.000+02:00

Today I got up rather early to go through the whole city to take another look at my potential new car. Turned on the radio: "Traffic jam in the direction INTO the city." Went there, stood out in the cold (what is it with the temperature? It's July, for Christ's sake!) then decided to buy it. And there it is: The Yay For The Day! New car! Yippee! Here it is, my precioussss: Anyhow, went back.

2004-07-11T20:44:00.000+02:00

Today I'm tired and grouchy again. Tomorrow, Marathon training will start and I won't have much time for anything what with travelling for work and training and everything else that's going on. And maybe I'll have car news.

Jawoll, mein Herr! Just an observation: When you're speaking English and people say: "Wow, you have no accent!" I guess what they actually mean is: "Wow, you don't speak like the Germans they show us on TV". Why I have no money Just wanted to rent a cheap little Smart car for the week-end.

Blah Tired and a little out of sorts - had something happening today that was kind of strange and didn't make me feel to good. Don't want to go into the details, it wasn't an earth-shattering event in any case, just a little something off-colour.

Business as usual My business trip sucked for various reasons, not the least of which are my recurring bouts of migraine that have taken on rather hellish proportions at time. However, on my way back through the Frankfurt pedestrian zone I got a rather beautiful present: Looks good on cats AND mons!

The other day, somebody called me who I hadn't seen in a long time. He was in Munich and why shouldn't he come over and visit? Long time no see after all. I wondered a little because we hadn't been real close but hey, why not? Then he arrived and we really didn't have much to say and it was rather awkward. Then he started talking about how it was really important to have good insurance these days

2004-06-30T11:44:00.000+02:00

By the way, I just remembered I wanted to recommend Cryptonomicon to y'all - I read it on the beach and really enjoyed it. The blurb says it's three books rolled into one - a spy novel, a war novel and some tech stuff thrown into the mix and I totally agree with the blurb. And although I do not usually like spy and war novels I thought they never went too far into their respective fields to not

Today I had to lie to somebody and I discovered I don't like that. It wasn't really bad - I had to pretend to want to buy a car´, which didn't really hurt anybody, but still I felt I was cheating the sales guy. He now thinks I'm interested in buying the car for which he probably gets a bonus when all he did was waste his time driving around with me. And once you tell a lie you need to make up

Greece is neece Rhyming-Mon has spoken. Why did D. and I choose Greece? Because Africa, where we had planned to go originally, turned out to be rather expensive and my car expired two weeks ago (a sad story, by the way). Yes, it's no good form to start a sentence with because but that's just how I went about it, so deal. Anyway, Greece it was. And it was really fun and relaxing. I can

I welcome you back to this blog with this outrageous story. Cheating at the Grand Prix Eurovision!!! Who'da thunk it? Be sure to watch the video. In other news: I went to Greece where it was nice and relaxing. Pictures and a report are to follow as soon as I stop feeling lazy. The Euro 2004 is progressing smoothly. Germany went home (as predicted - did anybody seriously believe we wouldn't).

I always end up looking like my hair just exploded, buying useless but overpriced conditioner and hating everybody with perfect looking hair. Sometimes I wish I was bald so I could just polish my head and give

Maybe I should stay home and do all those things that require to be done such as taxes and finally sending my computer to be fixed. I also wanted to put things on ebay to get some of the money back in that I spent on useless things. Are you as annoyed as I am by

Post-Easter Extravaganza So, Easter has passed without leaving a trace. Other than my stomach really acting up - I'm feeling rotten since Thursday evening. No idea why - well, I DID have a couple of beers (I went to the Cinerama concert as mentioned which was brilliant by the way) but not really too much. On Friday that led to me sitting on the couch rather dejectedly together with the cats (

Well, Happy Easter to all of you and if you need to be entertained you might want to tell the chicken what to do. Or not. It's up to you. Not to the chicken, however.

Sometimes I take things way too personal, I guess. That and I feel slightly queasy from eating too much chocolate. Makes me kind of grouchy, all that. That's today, though. What about tomorrow? Tomorrow I have to a) bring the kitties to the vet to be spayed (poor Puffels) b) take the day off (as per request of my boss - I don't object) c) pick up the kitties from the vet d) fuss over the poor

Boy, oh boy. A cake not for the faint of heart, I say. "It was at this point that I realized the liver was beyond salvaging" - boy, oh boy.

A murder of crows I just chose this headline because I've always found it funny that lots of crows are called a "murder". Sinister things, those crows. Actually, I couldn't tell a crow apart from a raven if my life depended on it. Not very keen on birds, I am. Anyway, that wasn't the point. The point is that I woke up this morning with a Counting Crows song stuck in my head: "Rain King" I

Do you like to paint but really, really suck at it? Don't worry, there's more people like you. And they even have a museum.

Weekend Update Maybe I should take up exciting hobbies. Parachuting or something. Then I'd have to tell something. As is, nothing much has been happening. On Friday I went to have pizza. Which is always good. Then I went to the sneak preview. Which is almost never good. In this case, we saw Taking Lives which turned out to be a rather lame serial killer movie, ripping off "Seven". With Angelina

Filled out a long questionnaire to blog here. Then decided questionnaires are stupid. Noone really reads them and the questions are sort of idiotic. Come on: "adidas or Nike? Chocolate or vanilla?" - What does this tell you about the person filling out the thing? Nothing. So I quit and deleted the whole thing. Still cranky.

Yesterday I was amazingly tired - I couldn't really sleep while in England. Neither did it work here. Maybe it's the summer time that's messing with my head. I wonder why I always wake up at 7:30 in the morning fresh as a daisy ON THE WEEKEND but am dead tired every morning when I have to go to work and have to hit the snooze button five times in a row. So, how was my trip? It was fun. We went

That and I've just heard of Stalinworld. Wowza.

Well, I'm back and I'll tell you all about my trip and everything tonight (don't want to be responsible for anybody's death). Just wanted to tell you that Sir Peter Ustinov died which makes me rather sad.

2004-03-24T15:40:00.000+01:00

Closed until further notice I'm going to London until Sunday. Then I'll think about whether I'll want to open this back up. Am tending towards just letting it die, though.

Weekend Update Hobbled to work on Friday where everybody laughed at my pizza story. Left work early (which had nothing to do with everybody laughing but I just thought it was worth a mention) and went to dinner with my parents and my brother and his intended. Mental Note: Greek restaurants make you really unpopular if you eat ALL the tsatsiki AND the onions available. Vegged out on the couch in

Stupid is... ...as stupid does. I'll give you a top tip that hopefully will be useful in your everyday lives. When you're on the phone, don't cut the pizza that you've just taken out of the oven. It might just drop onto your foot. With the cheese down. Ouch!! Double ouch!! Anyway, not a good idea.
