All Shall Love Me and Despair

Your Psyche is Blue

You are deeply emotional and very connected to everything (and everyone) around you. By simply understanding other people, you are able to help them heal and let go. While you are a very deep and thoughtful person, you do have a very silly, superficial side. When you are too blue: the weight of the world's problems hangs over you When you don't have enough blue: you lack perspective and understanding

File recovery is finished, and I reconfigured Outlook yesterday, so now I have all my old emails and contacts and rules etc. back. \o/


Must get my train ticket for Bonn - and if my confirmation letter from RingCon doesn't arrive by Wednesday, print the email I received after booking my ticket. Oh yes, and of course first of all, install my new printer. Did I mention that the old one had given out back in early August? I surely hope that my streak of computer equipment giving out is over now... *gives her computer ventilation a significant look*

Still without internet at home since I'm having problems with getting it to work, though at least the new harddisc is mounted and Windows installed. Won't have time to fiddle with it tonight either since we have a team dinner, sort of a goodbye affair for one of our project managers who's transferring internally to another team at our other office near Zurich. She'll still be here until about mid November, but will be absent a lot, hence we're doing this now in case there's no other occasion later.

Saturday I went out for pizza with my best friend and a friend of hers who's joined us before, occasionally. After a brief stop at my flat due to being finished too early to go on, we went to a club that we knew from waaaay back, but which has been closed for some years. They're not letting in anyone under 20 - hooray, no kindergarten! The music was pretty good so we got to dance some, and we had lots of fun and laughter, part of which thanks to one of the IT guys from my workplace who we already knew from our going-out-regularly times, and who's very cheeky. It's been ages since we did anything like this, so it was really great.

Weather is blah - we got lots of rain over the weekend and higher up some snow, down to a little lower than the treeline, though thank goodness not down in the valley as was predicted. Still, it's pretty cool. Autumn's definitely arrived!

Anyway - work! Hopefully I'll soon be back online at home!



PS: This is SO well deserved!!! If you haven't seen the film yet, do try and get it on DVD - it's out in several countries. It's not an easy entertainment kind of film, but it's very well done with great performances all around. Congratulations to Karl and the whole team!

New harddisc ordered, should arrive early next week. \o/

MTV: John Noble won’t Reprise Role in ‘Hobbit’ Films
August 27th, 2008 by Calisuri | Source: MTV Movie Blog | Discuss

It has been well documented that Guillermo del Toro will approach the original The Lord of the Rings cast to reprise their roles in Middle-earth should the script call for it. News comes today from the MTV Movie Blog that one such actor, John Noble, won’t be available:

“If they said, ‘Would you come and play Denethor again,’” Noble said, “I would have to say, ‘No, I’m doing [new J.J. Abrams television series] ‘Fringe’! And I certainly couldn’t play a younger Denethor or even Ecthelion now that I’m an older John. Not even with makeup.”
For the full story, jump on over to the MTV Movie Blog. [Read More]



And a REALLY cute Craig Parker story: My daughter, the famous actor, and the plastic animals: A story of contingency I can SO see him do that! :D *still needs to make a Craig icon*



Just to warn you: I am having problems with Windows suddenly and without discernible cause hanging during startup, so until I found a solution I may be absent/quiet, since my laptop which I'd usually use in such a a case is currently sans harddisc. Of course. *rolls eyes* I hope I can find out what's causing this asap, but you never know.



Still reading "Babylon Babies". ( Behind a cut to spare those not interested, but no spoilers )

Yup, still - or again? - having connection problems. Will have to run some more in-depth diagnostics on my wireless configuration, but not tonight anymore!

Anyway - it's been almost a month since I posted the last LJ Stats again, and there's been a bit of movement in the Top 10 - though serenitysangel is still the undefied Number One! :)
