++++++| RANDOM NEWS UPDATE LOLZ |++++++
 Whoo, I have a new laptop! Because of my troubles of getting one with XP installed that's not a netbook, I got one with a free DOS to install the stuff myself. Thankfully my university still gives out XP licenses. @_@
It's a Hewlett-Packard one with a 15.4 inch screen, 160GB, 3GB RAM and 2GHz. The graphic chip is enough for me to run Photoshop, so it's perfect to take it along on the trip. XD When I need a laptop for work later on I'll get one with a better graphics card, but this one will be just fine in the meantime, and it works perfectly. 8D ♥ It only cost 370€ you guise! That's cheaper (and better) than most netbooks, ahaha. I think I might take along an additional external harddrive though, with enough space for a little movie/tv shows collection. XD
I've never had a laptop before (never needed one), but it's fun now to slouch around on my bed while being online. XDD I need to get a mouse for it though, the touchpad is overy sensitive and I keep clicking things that I don't want to click XD (although I'm sure that can be helped through configuration *lazy*).
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) toasterdog visited me for a week and we had lots of fun watching Star Trek TOS and failing at Super Mario Bros. XD I downloaded some SNES games yesterday and ordered a game pad today 8DD Yay! I miss playing Yoshi's Island. I should probably get the real game as well, though D; I only have it for the GBA.
I'm currently still looking for a nice room in Liverpool. (actually I haven't been for a week- I guess that's sorta bad for pending offers XD; ) There are so many sites for it and you always have to write to people to ask for more info and pictures, arggh. There are always advantages and disadvantages to each offer. Some include cleaning of the bathroom/kitchen in their rent, that's so tempting. 8D;; I started a categorized list to at least keep track a little. XDD Already managed to book the flights, despite Ryanair being a total bitch and not letting me book anything for several hours, there were errors popping up everywhere lolz. @_@;;
I also discovered a little bagel shop in my city that I'm unreasonably happy about. XDD There aren't a lot of bagels around here!
Oh, and this bunny has nothing to do with anything whatsoever. It just appeared while drawing. XDD
♥
Also, WHY THE HELL IS MY TEXT CENTERED? I DID NOTHING OF THE SORT. D8 *fails at basic HTML*

Summer internship in Liverpool as a concept artist for a gaming company.
AWESOME, Y/Y?
I'm super excited. @_@
They don't pay that much so I'll have to support myself for the most part, but whee, work experience! Now I have to go buy a laptop. XD;;; So I won't be completely cut off from THE INTERBUTTS AND YOU while being gone. (This should totally be a book, ~*The Interbutts and You*~)
So, I know I'm an idiot for asking this, but is it easy to de-install Vista on a laptop and install Windows XP?
I ask this because all laptops you can get here have Vista pre-installed. T_T
I want XP. I could get XP Professional really cheap from my university, so if it worked that easily, that would be great. @_@ I dunno, maybe I'm just too suspicious of those sellers. XDDD I always think they build in barriers or something.
ANYWAY!
omg.
Like.
I have to find a room and flight and bus tickets and public transport and bank account and and and
Have any of you guys been to Liverpool? :0 HOW IS IT? I've never been there. Lolomg.
To celebrate Liverpool-ness, have some Beatles:
"Obladi Oblada"
♥
Also, I keep writing "Liverpoop". I'm sure that's a good omen. XD

12:18 pm - lol Star Trek
|
So, I was the last person on Earth to see the new Star Trek movie. XDDD Here's my selective opinion on it (because I always forget major points anyway XD).
I was a bit afraid because of JJ Abrams and all that, you know. (I really hated Cloverfield >_>) But I was pleasantly surprised. 8D
First off, it was really FUN to watch. 8D Really kept my interest up all the way through.
I loved the Romulan ship design! Although the Romulans themselves confused me, I know they have the same ancestors as the Vulcans, but they really looked like tattooed Vulcans. 8D;; (the main baddie had Mulder's voice in the German dub olololol)
The space scenes were awesome @-@ really neat CGI. Maybe a BIT much fake lensflare in the first half. XDDD The whole new parallel universe/time travel thing was a bit obscure, but maybe that's because I was tired. 8D;
About the characters, I really liked their representations overall. Lol, Chekov was awesome (although I thought they overdid him a little). I think they could've toned down that young-Kirk-was-such-a-daredevil-omg, because it just seemed stupid to me. XD; But Kirk was better once he was on the Enterprise. Paul McGillion as Scotty would've been so much more fitting, but oh well. XD
Uhura was really empathic (ollolol), but that's sorta fitting I guess, and Quinto as Spock was pretty awesome, I must admit. And Leonard Nimoy had a bigger role than I thought!
BUT. Spock/Uhura? XD REALLY? Come on. It was sweet and I guess okay if you haven't seen TOS at all. Because this doesn't really fit. But if you just see it as non-sorta-half-canon, it's still fun. XD I can deal with that.
What did you guys think? 8D

I actually took that pic myself when he walked past me at the 2006 soccer world cup 8'D KOFI NOMNOMNOM
I'M ADDICTED. Seriously. Someone tell me a substitute to espresso, I don't dare to drink more than 2 espressi a day. (NO DON'T SAY DECAF, IT'S A SIN) I was thinking hot chocolate maybe, but that's a lot thicker/sweeter. @_@
( Art Stuff )
( Movie Stuff )
Anyhow, whoa, I need to return to LJ big time. *cradles flist* D8 I think I ask this every year, but what will you guys do over the summer? XDDD Me, I have no idea where I'll be. @_@ I'll either get an internship or not. Lolz. (never mind that I have U2 concert tickets for London in August and can't even book a flight because I don't know where I'll be then XDDDD; I hope it'll work out anyway and I won't have to spend a fortune to get there)
( Photography Stuff )
( Rabble Rabble )
MUSIC!
"Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes (because I can't get it out of my head, AND NOW YOU MUST SUFFER AS WELL XD)
"Brianstorm" by the Arctic Monkeys (you might recognize it as the background music from the Conan/Colbert/Stewart feud fight XD)

10:37 pm - ZBRUSH FTW!!
|
Zomg you guise,
I just downloaded the ZBrush trial and it totally rocks. :0 SO much more intuitive than any of the other 3D modelling programmes with 908304958309485 tools. I feel like a kid messing with mud, it's awesome. XDD. It's like Sculpey! 8D I downloaded it like 20 minutes ago and still suck at it, but maybe I can get better with some tutorials. XD *produces some horribly mutated duck monster*
(screenshot to follow, lolz XD)
EDIT: HERE IT IS AHAHHA XD MR. EVILDUCK.
PS: Any of you savvy peepulz, is ZBrush 3.1 or Mudbox better? :0

JESUS CHRIST IT'S AN ENTRY, GET IN THE CAR!
( Emoemoemoemoemo )
So, what are you guys planning for the summer? :000 Any neat vacation plans going on?
I'm actually back on DeviantArt, yay! XDD I'm looking forward to drawing something for myself, or rather my portfolio maybe. 8D; That really needs some real pictures. Did you get spam comments on DA as well? @_@ I got like 20-30 within a week! I believe someone hacked people's accounts, it's weird that someone would put such an effort into hacking just to post obvious spam. XD And they have a new design AGAIN, I feel so old. XDD
I've managed to upload a lot more pictures of my Bolivia/Peru trip in the last 2 weeks (when the main uni work ended), so I shall pimp out Flickr once again! XDD
http://flickr.com/photos/psychobrot/collections/ (STILL in progress with all the uploading XD; working on the Inca Trail pics)
Friend me if you're on there! 8D (or make an account, you know you want to. XD DO IT)
Have you guys seen Bolt yet? 8D I saw it a week ago, so cute. X) Of course the ending was pretty kitschy again, but I liked the idea and the characters, like a million times better than Madagascar 2. Lolol @ the pidgeons. Sooo, which one is next? "Up"? XD
You know what big cinemas lack nowadays? Awesome trashy horror movie nights! Like old B-movies. 8D Unfortunately we have no really cool theatres here, only those generic blockbuster ones. D;
RANDOM AWESOME 70s SONGS!1
"Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin (I was expecting something sad from this and then lol'd when I heard the song. XDDD HARDROCK!1)
"I can't tell the bottom from the top" by The Hollies (D'aww, I like the chorus of this one, it's so ...old. XDDD)

2:27 am - Christmas comes but once a ye-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!1
|
Guiiiise, because of the new computer I've totally lost my e-mailing list for my Christmas greetings. T_T So if we don't e-mail frequently or something and you want on the list, please leave your e-mail on here! (preferably with spaces and no @, so that the spam distributors won't hunt you down XD)
♥
PS: anyone know why the automatic screening of comments doesn't work? @_@ I clicked "hide comments - all comments", yet it doesn't seem to work. >_> Or maybe that's just with my account?
OKAY NEVER MIND, THE SCREENING WORKS XDDD *is stupid*
PPS: You can still post your e-mail here after I sent the card, I'll just send it again then XD
PPPS: I just noticed I forgot to put my PARENTS on the list. 8D;;;;;;;;;;;;;

2:29 am - Crazy Christmas Rantings
|
Sooo, how's everyone dealing with Christmas shopping so far? XDD Not to stress you, but OMG GET YOUR PRESENTS, IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!1 LIKE TOMORROW!1 Lololol j/k. 8D;
I haven't bought all of them myself yet, but I've already got my parents' presents (a digicam for my dad and an mp3 player for my mom) all sorted out, so that's a plus. XDD I still have to get some stuff for my best friend (NOT TELLING LOLZ) and some other smaller stuffs.
Buuut, having something for my parents really takes pressure off me. XDDD It was so DIFFICULT to think up new stuff in the years before (you can't always give them books and ties after all XD; ), but now that they've got a laptop for themselves, it's gotten so much easier. XDD Now I'll just get them computer-related technology so they're FORCED to use it! XDDD HEHEHEHE.
(Next year I have to teach them how to reach my Amazon wishlist, I mean gee XDD)
About what I would wish for ...I have no idea. @_@ I might have to get a new iPod, since my old one's battery has noticeably lost power in the past months. 8D; Buut I dunno. D; Or maybe I'll wish for an external harddrive. Or something. Naw, that's boring. XDD Ah, I dunno. Clothes are boring too. What are you guys wishing for? 8D;;; (IMMA STEAL YOUR IDEAS)
In the past years I sent out some self-made digital Christmas card thinger with a picture I've drawn, I dunno if I can do something of the same effort this year. D8 NO TIME TO DRAW MUCH OMG~ I still have a commission to finish, and I should research my butt off for the next uni presentation (LOLZ lawsuits D8 ). ANYHOWSA. I'm loving our Christmas market. 8D CHOCOLATE-COATED MARSHMALLOWS FTW! (gotta take pictures of it)
I'm still trying to recover from how much money the failure of my old PC ate (and so suddenly D8{ ), but I'm loving the new one. 8)
THIS IS WHAT MY NEW PC LOOKS LIKE, TRUFAX:
I named it Fury because it is black. XD (LIKE THAT OLD TELEVISION HORSE THINGER!1 *fail*)
And now for something completely different the next holiday anxiety: I DUNNO WHAT TO DO FOR NEW YEAR'S OMG D8!1
♥
PS: LOL WHAT, I HAVE TO GET UP IN LIKE 3 HOURS.
PPS: My next entry MIGHT possibly contain a crapload of christmas-related songs, lolz 8'D

 Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
In April I invaded Iraq, broke it, and couldn't glue it back together before Mom got home (-1012 points). Last Wednesday I gave tania a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). Last week _telecaster and I donated clothes to the needy (11 points). Last month I pushed one48am in the mud (-17 points). In November I gave kateheightmeyer a Dutch Oven (-10 points).
Overall, I've been naughty (-1033 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!
Sincerely,
leelakin |
Wow, I sure am naughty. XD

Okay, so I still haven't figured out how to get to my old files and need to install a crapload of programmes (damn, I bet I won't be able to remember my messenger passwords D8 ) and figure out where two thirds of my new harddisk went 8D;;; ...but apart from that I'm all set. XD;;;
Update: OH FUCK YEAH, I HAVE ALL MY MESSENGERS AND DISC SPACE BACK XDDDD
And my new monitor is

...HOMG I NEED PHOTOSHOP BACK. D; Yeeeeey. 8D

1:52 am - CHANGES SHMANGES. XD
|
1) London trip this Dec cancelled.
2) I wrecked my computer.
XDDDDDDD
Now this might seem like a pretty depressing prospect, but wait! 8D; The friend I was going to fly with got sick so she can't go, and of course I'm not going alone. Though the money I saved by not going, I can now spend on a new computer. 8D;
I sorta-kinda wrecked my graphics card 2 days ago, and since my monitor was already broken, I figured I might as well get a whole new desktop pc (the old one was OOOOOOOLD with at least a hundred Os).
So I actually ordered one today and I can't wait for it to arrive. 8D It will be here around Friday! I hope there won't be any problems, because I'll go crazy if I have to spend another weekend carrying various types of monitors around... don't ask. XD)
♥
PS: I'm on my parents' laptop right now, they barely notice it's gone. XD
PPS: I'm currently watching The O'Reilly Factor (via TVUPlayer) for the first time. This is craplarious in a omg-is-this-for-real sorta way.
"YULE TIDE FEAR!1"? AHAHAH XDDDD OHSHITSON.

10:05 pm - IT'S ALIIIIIIIIVE! ~~~~~~~ (massive TL;DR edition)
|
Seems like every entry these days months I start with "HOMG I SHOULD BE ON LJ MORE" and this one is no exception! 8D;;; But but BUT, I have a rather good excuse this time for not being there. First university started again, and then there were 2 film festivals which I attended, 9 days in total. LOTS OF MOVIES. 8D I haven't even managed to upload half of the Bolivia photos yet. DD8 More like... a tenth, if at all. XD; Have a random one:
(did I mention that I tried to read "Twilight" during my Bolivia trip? I thought it sucked major donkey butt and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. 8D; SPARKLING LIKE A MILLION DIAMONDS? REALLY? Hugest Gary-Stu/Mary-Sue pairing I've ever witnessed. XDDD)
Heeee, I'm going to London for a week on Dec 3rd! 8DD I've never been there during winter, only in summertime. Can't wait for all the Christmas decorations and general London-ness, I love that city so much. ;u; YAY~
I've also been working on a portfolio. 8D; It sucks and isn't finished by far (and I pretty much want to throw out all of the art), but here's the link if you want to check it out. XDD
I needs to find me an internship for next summer, but I don't know where or what. D; Another country would be awesome, but that's so EXPENSIVE (and paid internships are rare), also working visas and blablabla.
( FILM FESTIVALS~~ Warning, a bunch of animated videos under the cut! 8D )
Whoo! That was long.
 ( German part! )
By the way, did any of you have problems with the latest Firefox 2 update? DD8 (.11 I think it is) It worked all fine for me at first, but then today the sound was gone ONLY in Firefox (like when videos were embedded), that was so weird. D; I had to download .10 to fix it (luckily there's oldversion.com @_@).
MYOOSIC:
O HAY, did you know Keane has a new album out? 8DD I haven't thoroughly listened to all of it yet, but this one's fun. XD Like dancing for yourself!
"Pretend that you're alone" by Keane
And not to miss, here's the song that played during the X-Files 2 movie credits (you know, the scene when the camera!helicopter flew over the sea and Mulder/Scully were in a boat half naked? Was that crazy or what), it makes me feel really melancholic about the X-Files ending, even though the song is new and the movie wasn't very X-Files-ish at all. I WANT MY FIRST 7 SEASONS BACK. T_T *pathetic fandom-clinging*
"Broken" by Unkle
♥
PS: O HAY USA, congrats on your new soon-to-be-President! 8DDD HE SO SHINY! ♥

4:34 pm - Sculpeylicious.
|
Okay, so I've been wanting to try out Sculpey for a very long time now (although I probably suck at modeling, but I can model potatoes and lumps of ...stuff or something XD).
But it's near impossible to get it in any store in Germany. D8 My friend found a website selling it and I just ordered 2 "Super Sculpey CE Living Doll" thingers, each weighing almost half a kilo. XD I had to pay $48 (in-country shipping cost was like $9 wtf).
Sooo @_@ What does Sculpey cost in the US, anyway? Do you think it would be cheaper if I ordered it from the US? (Though the shipping costs to Germany might be outrageous 8D;)
And has anyone got advice for me how to use it? XDD (I already got wire like 6 months back, yay! XDDDD)

Hola guys!
One last short notice from Bolivia. 8D Man, we did so much here, it didn't even feel like a whole month. I'll be flying back to Germany on September 2nd. As nice as it was here, I can't wait. I need vacation from my vacation. XD;;; So much action going on here. Our last trip was Copacabana yesterday, so we'll be in La Paz for the last few days, but Suri's relatives are planning a big party and I have to cook something and omg. D8 AND THERE'S STILL SOME SOUVENIRS MISSING. I was actually quite sick in the past 3 days (probably my body telling me to slow down or to eat less bacteria or so XD), hopefully it'll get better now (cause tomorrow is COOKFEST, that's nothing for a queasy stomach).
You know what I'm missing? GERMAN BREAD. 8D; We're like the breadiest bread nation on this planet, so we always miss our bread when we're elsewhere. Oh yeah, and my family and friends and stuff. XD

HOLA, greetings from Bolivia! XD
Our travels here took 35 hours, that was exhausting I can tell you. @-@
We had to wait 5 hours on Charles-de-Gaulle in Paris, 10 hours in Sao Paolo (their airport is damn depressing D8 ) and 3 hours in Santa Cruz. But we are now in La Paz and it´s awesome! Everything is so cheap, teehee. I just bought crazy neon coloured socks with llamas on them. They look like graphics from some freaky Super Nintendo game XDDD
The altitude doesn´t even bother me much! It´s very awesome, but I have to go now, to write some more assuring e-mails. XDDD
SEE YOU SOON!

IT'S MY LAST ENTRY BEFORE BOLIVIA ZOMG!1
I haven't been online a lot in the past few weeks because of the electrical engineering exam (which I wrote on Friday, phew x_x). I really can't say how it went, I hope I'll get a good percentage. Though I have to forget about it now, we won't get the results until in about 2 months or something, anyway. D8|
AND NOW FOR SOME BOLIVIA STRESSING!!1
( ~~~~~~~* BOLIVIBLA *~~~~~~~ )
You guys will be my news source! XDDD Tell me Godzilla destroyed Tokyo AND I MIGHT JUST BELIEVE IT. Or maybe not. But I dunno whether I'll be able to get any good English (much less German) newspapers there.
And uhhhhhhhhhhhhh @_@ I can't think of anything else right now, my brain is frying inside my skull. THE HEAT!1 (Why do they keep promising thunderstorms and they never arrive? D; Weathermen are so cruel.)
I need to sleep in order to rob raid visit my bank tomorrow. D8 BAIIIIIIIIIIIII! SEE YOU... IN AN INTERNET CAFÉ, I GUESS, LULZ!
PS: DO NOT IN ANY WAY SPOIL THE X-FILES 2 MOVIE FOR ME PLZ, I'M NOT GONNA SEE IT TILL THE END OF THIS WEEK D8

Oh, there's awesome news. 8D
( Spoiler: It's exam and travel related! XDDDD )
Hurrr. In other uni-related news, my weekend is full of Uni courses again. Why? BECAUSE I AM INSANE. I totally signed up for those on purpose. XDDDD
O HAY GUISE, I got a Flickr account! (will surely come in handy with all the pics I will take on my trips) My name on there is PSYCHOBROT.
Plz to be friending me if you have a Flickr account! If not: YOU NEED A FLICKR ACCOUNT! XDD
Also, there's the European Soccer Cup going on at the moment. XDDD It's a big thing over here! I think a large part is still the World Cup nostalgia from 2 years ago (most fan merchandise certainly is). The quarter-finales are starting soon and Germany is still in (while Austria and Switzerland, the hosting countries, are already out XD; ), though tomorrow's match against Portugal will be pretty tough. 8D;;
And to celebrate the event, have some German soccer-related songs:
"Zeit, dass sich was dreht" by Herbert Grönemeyer (I already uploaded this one 2 years ago for the World Cup, but heck, it's my fav Cup song and doesn't get old, EVER. XDDD)
"Mag Tischtennis" by Sportfreunde Stiller (This one's about parents telling their soccer-enthusiastic kid that it should better like table tennis XDDD because Chinese people are good at it.)
