Withdrawal
First of all - Happy Birthday to my company which is one year old today. I even baked it a cake. Well I was the one who
ate it but anyway. Some time has passed again since my last post but while I’m very disciplined in every other aspect of my life I’m not when it comes to writing. I have so many thoughts in my head but to put them on paper or in this case in my blog… I seem to be too lazy for that. While I love the summer I hate that there’s hardly any TV shows running. I don’t want to give the impression that I’m somewhat addicted to my tv but I guess I am, sort of. I pass my free time with running. For my birthday I got an 8GB Ipod nano which I love very much although it crashes around twice a day and I have to reboot and format it everytime. Running is so much more fun now. I also got the Nike plus set (which I haven’t been able to use yet since I have Asics and they are not compatible with Nike plus so I have to buy an adapter first) and a very trendy Armband which again isn’t compatible with my Ipod when attached to Nike plus… Yeah I know - very boring!
This happens when I’m suffering under withdrawal syndrome. I’m even watching “The Company” on TNT now - a sommer special three parter all about war and spies and deception, conspiracy etc. Honestly I don’t get the plot very much but since there’s nothing else to watch I keep going while feeling kind of dumb. I actually liked “Hidden Palms” although I absolutely despised Oliver on The O.C. But you know, there were palm trees, pretty people, cliché plots - thats about what you need to get me hooked and happy nowadays. I know it was pretty bad sometimes but after adjusting my standards a little I could see the potential. Needless to say the show was cancelled. I’m kind of used to it by now. I was left with a good soundtrack and some hard feelings towards the CW.
I’m not writing about Harry Potter in here (at least about the seventh book) since I want to give my German family and friends the chance to read the book in German and I wouldn’t manage not to spoil! I will write something about the Order of the Phonix movie though but I’ll be revisiting the theatre for the third time with a friend shortly and will then post my very qualified and well-phrased review in here since this will be so important to everyone - just kidding!
I’m really looking forward to the Emmy’s which are sometime in September. I’m glad I’m not in the jury - I would have a hard time chosing this year with The Sopranos deserving every award especially since this was their final season. Then again there’s “House” and “Greys” - I was surprised that “The Starter Wife received so many nominations” I loved the acting but the rest was really boring. And this considering that my high demands were already adjusted downwards.
Well anyway - later M.
