Fireflies...

For once I'm not talking about Joss Whedon's great tv show but about real fireflies. Or glowworms...I just had to walk the dogs to the forest's edge and there were lots of those tiny little creatures. It had something magical, calming and peaceful. The whole forest seemed enchanted. Sure, I've seen fireflies before. But I can't remember when or if I ever saw so many of them together. Gliding through the air like little dots of green light. Some daring to fly rather high and not near to the ground like most of them. Some even flew by my face while most of them stopped to glow when I came nearer unless I stood really quiet and motionless for a while. Unfortunately I had to get back and bring the dogs back home. I wished to sit down right in the middle of them. It was easy to imagine them to be little faries...

Okay, that was all that I had to get rid of.

I hate Hegel!!!

Well, maybe I don't hate him...or I wouldn't hate him if I understood him. Or if I hadn't to do this stupid presentation which I simply don't want to do....got other things to do. More interesting things. Easier and more entertaining things! *pout*

Just had to write that down. Am sitting in the uni library where we have Internet. Of course we should rather search for uni stuff than write blog entries but who cares? I just don't want to do Hegel anymore. I can't bear him! He kills me!

Okay, 'Nuff said! Have a nice day without Hegel!

Wet!

*Grrr*. Of course it had to be that way. As soon as I was far enough into the forest that to turn back would be meaningless, the rain shower started. So I waited about 15 minutes under a tree for it to stop together with my miserable looking dogs. At least, there was a good tree to take shelter from the rain. Now I got to completely change my clothes or almost all of my clothes....no idea what I shall wear. I seemingly run out of trusers. It' impossible to find fitting jeans these days. They're either too tight or too loose or you can't sit with them!

*slightly frustrated* :: Yeoyou ::

Good morning!

It seems that blogger didn't recognize it was already past midnight where I live so it posted my last post under yesterday's date...but that doesn't matter.
Today I finished the avvie for the set. Normally I wouldn't take pictures where he smokes, but it fitted so well...

I also came to terms with references in html. Seems I was just too tired to see that there was no problem at all...silly me! But it's tiresome to change all the sites I've already made and check all the references and all. So far I'm not very far with it. Just about four sites of a high number of sites.
But I'm very happy because it seems official now that Kate Hewlett will return in her role as Jeannie Miller, Rodney McKay's sister, to Stargate Atlantis. I simply loved the last episode with her. I'm sure this one will be just as great!

I should go now and take a shower and prepare everything for tonight!

still today and still awake...

I stumbled over new Gerry pics and couldn't resist...so there's a new fanart:
He simply looks cool in those pics. And I have finally another colour for him. All other fanart was brownish or black or some strange colour in that one wall ^_^
I hope you will like this new product of mine. It has been ages since I last did something - or at least, that's how I feel. I miss working with my beloved Photoshop! *sob* Well, now it's definitely not today anymore so I'll be a good girl and go to sleep now...Really!

On weekend's doorstep

I survived the week and I actually now know what that presentation theme is all about. I'm supposed to do a presentation--together with a friend--about Hegel's "end of art". After standing in front of that bookcase which was filled with books about Hegel or by himself (don't knwo how many), I just took the "Hegel's Dictionary" and looked under "art"...the main thing is seemingly that he believed our modern times to be so unaesthetic that no real art could be produced any longer and that therefore it is the "end of art". Now we got to say all this in about 10 minutes. I have no idea how we're going to do that!
Apart from finding this out, I spent the rest of my day with a friend who invited me to a nice café for my b-day. Originally she planned to drive me home in a cabrio (which is her boyfriend's car which she has right now) but the weather was against us. But still it was funny!
Tomorrow, I'll have a video night with someone I met at uni. She's cool and reminded me of a friend so that's why I spoke to her first of all. She likes the Dresden Dolls. Hence she must be cool. And she knew Gerard Butler! Finally someone who knows him! We're going to watch movies like "Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Dear Frankie", "My Fair Lady" and "The Producers". At least that's what's planned but this could change.

I'm a bad girl because I still won't write about the other painting (but in case you're wondering, I swear, that there is another painting! It's "Las Meninas" by Vélasquez (or so)). It's pretty late here. 11.11 pm to b exact so I'll go to sleep now.

And ArAs makes very slow progresse but it does. I'm currently fighting with the references (which I should have found out right at the beginning of learning html but just was too lazy...)

:: Yeoyou ::

Art Asylum made a great step towards a new layout!

Hah! For months, I've been fighting with html and all to programme the new layout and get all browsers to accept it. I'm not yet there but I think I've made some progresse today. Imporant progresse. Happy relief is floating through my veines. I already thought I wouldn't manage it. But now! Hah again! I'm just stubborn...good thing sometimes!
So maybe you'll see the new ArAs soon enough (that is: within the course of this year and not in the next millenium... *lol*).
Love y'all!

Hello "You"!

Hah! I finally got someone to come over and read the silly stuff I write! That's cool! Hello "You"! *waves*
Now what do you want to know? No ideas? Well, so I'll just keep on rambling merrily away as before and you have no choice than to read it....okay, or you simply ignore it all and leave the blog? I hope you won't. It's nice to have company here in my humble blogging sphere...
So please stay here!

Alright, you may go if I'm going on to behave so stupid. I'd understand you perfectly ; ) But maybe I'll write about something interesting once in a while so feel free to come back. My student had of course not learned her vocabulary. Okay, she did know some...mostly those which resemblance the German meaning. But I won't torture, erm, tutor her again before mid August or so...school holidays. Dentist was okay. He's a very ncie man so you can't be afraid of him. I'm so glad I go to him and stopped going to that horrid woman. I still feel terrible before and can hardly eat but it's okay.

Oh I like silly rambling! *sigh*. This is great. And I can always change it again! Of course, it's all totally meaningless but who cares? It helps me procrastinating, practicing my English and...don't know what else?! Somehow it does cheer me up. It's like talking to someone who isn't there. But that's not the point because I can just talk or write about what I just feel to talk or write about. Like that this last sentence was a strange thing!

I just finished the novel "Ensel und Krete" by Walter Moers and he's a genius, if you ask me. His books are so funny. The novels situated on that strange and imaginera continent Zamonien are simply hilarious. He's got humour and a free floating literary style (if anyone knows what I mean with this, please tell me...I'm not sure) and has the nicest new words you ever saw. I can only recommend to read something by him. Preferedly "Capt'n Bluebear's 13 1/2 lives". Maybe it may not be (another strange sentence!) that people who are not familiar with the phenomena of Capt'n Bluebear will love those books so much. I grew up with him so I love him dearly. But maybe you'd still love them, so just go and try.

You're still here? Not run into the next bookshop to search for a Walter Moers novel? Shame on you. Maybe my recommendations are wasted on you if you don't follow them! Hmpf!

Alright. I just assume that it's your good will that keeps you here to read what else I may write. But I'll write nothing else. True, I still don't talk about the other painting although it's a great one. Perhaps this will make you come back?! But for now:
'Nuff said!

:: Yeoyou ::

I don't want to work...

See? I came up with something more ingenious than "Third post" as a title! Hah! I might become a good blogger after all. But maybe not because I won't keep my promise and and talk about the other painting. I'm neither in the mood nor have I time for it. Okay, I also have no time to post but that's another story...
I got to go to the dentist today and I simply HATE dentists! Afterwards my student who I'm tutoring (not torturing!) in English will come...her mother seemingly makes her so she's not very enthusiastic. *sigh*
Apart from that, I've got to tidy my room for tomorrow, think about a theme to write a Hausarbeit about for theatre (no idea! But got to hand it in within the next two weeks....*sob*) and work for a presentation about Hegel (my part is "end of art" no idea also!). Uni is cool but it sucks!
I ust saw David Hewlett's acceptance speech for winning the spacey award...if you can call that "speech" at all *lol*
Video
It's hilarious and simply David! The man is shameless!

Just one hour left before I must go...
Another totally uninteresting thing is that I wrote a 125 words description of my feelings during that block seminar about film history on that terribly hot day on the 7th floor in a room with no windows or air conditioning and the walls being black...it was more than 30°C in that room! I was to apathetic to even die....the description is for uni. I hope Bill (my lecturer) will be happy with it.

Situation Snapshot

The walls are watching you, choking you mercilessly and drawing you through the hungry gates of an eternal blackness. They are swallowing every sign of life. Your heavy head pulls you down, filled with faceless thoughts you cannot grasp. The sweet whispering ground, welcoming you in its arms. Every moaning has died and subsided into shallow breathing. Waves on the screen. Back and forth; drawing you with them into an alluring silence. Time creeps by, fighting in despair against the clutches of the sticky air. Like you. Crushing and crumbling under the suffocating weight of the life-sucking walls, clad in dark cloth, and the hot, sticky mass of air. No energy, no substance left to rise and flee from the living tomb. Apathy…

So, what do you think? Okay, there's no "you" so you don't have to answer that. But personaly, I think, it's not too bad and it mirrors my feelings exactly (maybe just slightly exaggerated like all writers do it *g*).
Yah, that shall suffice for now...
I'm hungry and will search for something eatable.

Second post! (I should come up with better titles...)

So...this is my second post. Well you-if there is a "you" at all- will have guessed as much. Otherwise you'd be stupid and I don't want you to be here, so go away!
Now to all the ones who were clever enough to figure out that this is my second post:
I have no idea what I want to tell you. I wrote my essay but it's crap and I still got to type it and print it out. I doubt my lecturer will like it but it doesn't matter. So I rather should go and type it but I don't feel like it at the moment. But since I scarcely ever do feel like it, that's no good apology. Maybe I'll do it once this post is finished...and I found out how to reprogramme my website so it meets with my wishes? Nah, better not. I'm slow with learning html and css and everything. Or maybe it's just the problem that I have an excact idea of how it shall look so I got to find a way to make it like I want it to be. I want things to be perfect. Not always. Not with essays as you can tell. But with fanart or stuff like this website. Oh and I wanted to try and figure out how to make this blog look nicer....yeah, I should probably do that after I've typed my essay.

I know, that's not interesting in the least but who cares as long as I'm the only one reading this silly rambling? And I named the blog "rambling overkill" so I should start to produce some kind of overkill. To be honest I named it that way because I had no idea at all of how to call it. But I ramble a lot and "Overkill" by Kosheen happens to be one of my current favourite songs so...I guess it's fitting enough.


There are a few things I could talk about...or write.
"Die Gesandten" by the painter Holbein d. Jüngere. That picture is extremely fascinating! I don't know if anybody knows it. The interesting thing is - and I still don't know how he managed to do it - that he painted a skull beneath those two men but distorted. If you stand directly in front of it, you hardly see it.. But in the house it was hung up, there was a staircase and if you went down that staircase and looked at the painting from an angle of 27° you could see it quite clearly. Modern technology manages to deskew(?) the skull.
There are a lot of other fascinating facts. Some historians say that they found out that those men stood there on Friday, April 11th 1533 between 3 and 4 pm! Don't ask me how they did this. But that's not all because that Friday was a Good Friday and exactly 1500 years after Jesus died. For this year, one of the gospels predicted the apocalypse and during that time, Martin Luther was thought of as the antichrist! The angle of 27° also plays a major role within the painting. And it is said that this was the angle that the sun had during Jesus' crucifixion! I can't tell to what degree all of this is true but well...I am terribly fascinated by that picture! And apart from all that, Holbein is just a very good painter! You can almost feel the fabric of the clothes and all when you look at the picture. I wish I could paint a bit like that! But I'm hopeless with brushes - unless they're Adobe Photoshop brushes of course *lol*

Now, this should be enough for now because I must dash to uni to learn more interesting stuff...or not. Later on, I could tell you about a second painting we discussed yesterday. That one is more mystical because people don't really know what the painter wanted to paint with it. But you'll see...

Whoa...first post!

Now...how to begin? No idea. Not that it would matter much. There's probably nobody who'll ever read this and maybe it's better that way. My life is fairly quiet most of the time so there will be nothing spectacular to write about. Just my random musings, maybe posting of my latest fanart and such things.
To be honest, the sole reason for creating this blog was to be able to respond to other blogs. *lol* So I'm really at a loss of what to do with this blog now but it's fun to type away. I know I shouldn't do this right now but rather think about my essay, exposé and library quiz I've got to do for uni...I guess I'm not the best student ever. *sigh*
Well, I'll leave it for now and see how my very first post looks.!
