Just HAD to post this. One of my fav videos. LOVE how Mark teases the audience - while looking ridiculously hot.

My God, I haven't posted for ages... This has to change! So, let's start with a little Mark Knopfler picspam. I'm a huge fan - (not only of his music, hehe... ) and since the release of his new album, "Get Lucky", is slowly coming closer (Release date is Sept. 14) I thought this would be a nice little teaser to make time go by faster. Anyway as I said, I'm not only a fan of his music but I find him very sexy, especially while he's playing guitar of course. There are three things that strike me: The way he looks while concentrating, his unbuttoned shirts and his arms! I decided to divide this picspam in three parts, theme for part one will be ARM PORN :-D Yes we all have a fetish for Hugh Laurie's arms but just to show you guitarists can have sexy arms, too... So here we go!

That's it for now... Hope to be back soon with more... I hope you like them!!

Oh dear, it's been AGES since my last update... So, let me start with the important stuff :-)
As you know, Hugh Laurie's 50th birthday is on June 11 and a couple of fans on LJ have come up with the idea of doing a Hugh Laurie Birthday Charity Drive. The basic idea behind it is to collect money for "Save The Children", the charity Hugh supports. cadeira has created this page with the possibility of making your donation. And right here you can find more information So go there now! I think it's a great idea and hopefully many people will participate. It's nicer than sending candy canes to Hugh :-) Please feel free to spread this in your own LJs :-)



Once again, here's the donation link - as I said, feel free to spread this :-)

More from me later.

Yes this is a Meat Loaf / Monsters vs. Aliens reference :-)
I'll come to Monsters vs. Aliens in a minute... But first it's Meat Loaf because he will be the PotW on House tonight, and I'm really really anxious. Those of you who know the latest spoilers know what I'm talking about... I almost don't dare to watch the episode! I've no idea what to expect, or at least I hope I won't see what I do expect... Confused? :-)
Thought last week's episode was fab; I had my reservations about "Locked In" especially since I thought the last "special House episode", "Last Resort" was rather disappointing. But this one I liked a lot. And I have the feeling House's terrified look at the very end will set the tone for tonight's show... Hope to stay awake until 2 a.m. I'm excited enough but also tired, plus work was a little frustrating today. I don't know, I feel more and more misplaced there and I'm not really sure if I want to do that full time one day. Also, my colleaugues seem to be so different, it's like they're from another world... Rather stiff and shortspoken I might say. I don't know... They're nice and all but I just feel like I don't really belong there. Oh well. Felt a little stupid too because my boss had to explain something really trivial to me about social insurance and stuff...

Last two weeks have been quite busy, went to some local events for my newspaper. There was a castle re-opening (although "castle" is really a euphemism for the building I mean, but that's what they call it anyway) and a concert in the same building. It was a little grotesque but strangely funny, especially because the guy who organised the whole thing complained about the lack of communication between my paper and his "Castle Renovation Society"... :-D

The concert left me rather brooding, though. The average age of people in the audience must have been 70 or so and I wondered how I will be like at that age... Sitting in a sticky room listening to old chansons a la "Old Man River" is not the way I'd like to imagine my retirement.
This reminds me of that line in Simon and Garfunkel's "Old Friends/Bookends": "How terribly strange to be 70"...

Attended the Music Fair in "Mainhattan" a couple of days later. It's always great to look at all those shiny expensive guitars. My favourite place - as every year - was the Fender booth. They didn't have the Mark Knopfler signature but the David Gilmour one and of course my poor friend had to take dozens of pictures of me and the black beauty. Speaking of Pink Floyd, since my friend is in the event technology business he wanted to check out some new lasers. Those machines were pretty impressive - and expensive... Next day I went there alone (actually a former fellow student  wanted to come along but he was sick) and had the time to play a couple of guitars. Oh I love those Stratocasters and Martin Acoustics! Sigh... Tickled the ivories in the Yamaha hall too but couldn't really play anything properly except The Flea Waltz, LOL.

This is me with a beautiful Martin guitar:




On Saturday I went to see "Monsters vs. Aliens" with my brother - we were forced to go to the late-night performance because public transport was a mess that night. Our train stopped in Offenbach and we had to go by bus, tram and subway train. Arrived one and a half hours later than planned. Had an unhealthy meal in an American bar and finally headed to the movies at 22.15, only five other people there with us. Well there was a big local event in town so I guess people were hitting the clubs rather than the movies. But it was fantastic! I saw the un-dubbed English version of course and laughed so hard. Not as nice as Hugh Laurie as Dr. Cockroach but still :-D Really fell in love with Insectosaurus. Stephen Colbert as the President was awesome, too. Need to see that movie again 8-)

And finally, I changed my strings yesterday. Damaged my guitar a little because the screws don't seem to work anymore. So even though the strings weren't really tuned and tense yet, they creaked and crunched in pain... Probably need to see a guitar doctor... I mean it's an old beat-up acoustic guitar but I love it.

Off for a cup of tea - or something with alcohol, I'll decide on the way downstairs. Maybe a Red Bull wouldn't be bad either... :-)
Can't wait for tonight's House.
 

Yes, I mean the last House episode, "Here Kitty". House plus cat = awesomeness :-) I know many people thought it was just average but I absolutely LOVED it! The opening sequence alone was hilarious, House was mean and funny and that Bond villain impersonation was really eccentric :-D
We're heading towards the end of the season and unlike other people I didn't think the episode was lighthearted at all. I'm convinced there was a lot of foreboding in it... It's almost scary if you've read the latest spoilers which I wish I had NOT read :-( This is going to be one hell of a season finale and I'm already holding my breath... Okay, for those of you who are spoiler-free, I'll put my thoughts behind a cut...

( Read more... )

So there will be no House episode tomorrow night and again I won't have anything to look forward to. Oh wait, Hugh Laurie will be at the Letterman show and on CBS - at least that's something :-) I'll be at a conference tomorrow, my boss wants me to join him and it's going to be a very long day. Do not want!
The rest of last week was already meh. Wednesday was weird because it was the first time I really felt a little displaced at work. Can't really explain why... Thursday I was too tired to do anything so I stayed at home. On Friday I had to go shopping, needed a new pair of shoes and trousers. I really hate it because it's very hard for me to find some trousers that fit really well. Most of them are way too long... So after 3 hours of frustration I ended up buying a pair of Levi's and some black sneakers. This will go together with a grey blazer and a blue blouse tomorrow. Hehe, I'm going to look a little Houseian :-D
On the same Friday I got a call from my local paper asking me if I could go to two local events that evening. They said it was urgent so I couldn't say no. It was really grotesque; the first event was an honoring of small animal breeders, the other one was a midnight flea market. I always feel a little uncomfortable when people finally realise I'm there to write about the event - they suddenly treat you like you are someone special and I hate being the centre of attention. Anyway it was fun and it's been a while since I've done something like that, and for some strange reason I like it. Typed up the two articles today and sent them off, some more appointments coming next weekend... So, it's going to be a busy week I guess.

Anyway, off for a second glass of champagne now, I feel all fuzzy inside :-D

... well, not exactly on a sofa but at my desk :-)
It's dark and rainy outside and I'm even too lazy to change my guitar strings... There's this pack of shiny new D'Addario nylon strings lying on my table but I think it's going to be there for a little longer... As is this book on terminology - Sigh! Maybe I can get my butt off after dinner and at least thumb through it to see if I can use it.

My week was pretty unspectacular, had a much needed day off on Wednesday and on Thursday it was back to work. Had dinner with my colleagues afterwards which was a little weird but still nice. Note to self: Do not drink an alcoholic cocktail if you don't know how strong it is when your colleagues are with you! That caipirinha really worked... Fortunately I was still able to behave myself, LOL.

Went out with two friends on Friday for a couple of drinks, unfortunately it was a bar where smoking was allowed. I smelled like an ashtray afterwards and had a sore throat. By the way I really fucking HATE ignorant smokers. I mean even if it's allowed at a bar, is it too much to ask if other people mind if you smoke when you sit down at a table where others are eating?? Oh well.

Stayed at home last night - actually I wanted to see "Gran Torino" at the movies but my mum and brother suddenly decided they weren't in the mood to come with me. Ended up watching a DVD documentary on the fall of the Berlin Wall and had a good laugh about how those East German people looked back then :-D That accent is already funny but if you add that cliché look, you can barely keep yourself together especially if you're viewing this while drinking a glass of Southern Comfort :-D No offense intended of course. I know how important these happenings were and  I always get goosebumps when I'm in Berlin and walk through the Brandenburg Gate. It's just that from the outside point of view, people in the former GDR looked a little strange :-)

Anyway, I'm NOT looking forward to get up early again tomorrow but I do look forward to tomorrow night's House episode. Missed the livestream last Monday because I didn't know the Americans already have summertime... So I fell asleep, woke up at 1.59 am, switched on my laptop and no House on the screen... Logged in to some chat and had to learn I was one hour late! Well at least I had a nice chat with a fellow fan so my tiredness the next day wasn't entirely in vain. "The Social Contract" was brilliant IMO - minimal Thirteen/Boreteen, lots of H/W (no I'm not a slasher) and a great Huddy scene. Seems like this season will have a GREAT ending after all, especially regarding the latest spoilers... Can't wait! :-)

Off to the Lincoln Mayne online shop again - I'd love to buy a shirt but can't decide which one!
 

Oh yes it's been a while since my last entry... Almost two weeks! It's not that there wasn't anything going on, I guess I was just too lazy... So, where were we when I did my last update? Oh yes, the latest House episode, "The Softer Side". What can I say, it was fab! The only thing that annoys me is that it could have been even better if there hadn't been a Thirteen overload yet again. Come on PTB, kill her off! Or at least reduce her screentime. Seriously, this is getting physically painful. I was literally screaming "No, not again!!" at my laptop screen during the opening screne when Thirteen wasn't sure which shoes she should wear. Who gives a fuck?? Anyway, tomorrow's episode looks promising too so I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh btw check out the icon to this entry, I finally got my new House charity shirt! It's awesome and I think I'm going to wear it until it falls apart, LOL. We had a House DVD marathon on Friday and the shirt was the centre of attention :-) We watched the first 8 episodes of season 1 and "Euphoria" Pt. 1&2 from Season 2. Ahh, it's really amazing to look back and to be able to make all these connections between now and then. Also, I noticed Wilson looked really harmless in season 1 and House had rather ugly clothes :-D Anyway I wasn't back home before half past 4.... So I was pretty tired yesterday. Went to a fairground in a town nearby with a friend last night. It was nice but nothing special... Bought a new ring, that's all :-) We had a little drink and then went back home at 11.

Today was a lethargic day for me too. I wanted to take a look at that book I got from the library on Friday about terminology (yes, again!) but I suffered from a severe lack of motivation yet again. I don't know, it's still so much and I've no idea how to read through all these books. Besides my motivation problem I also have an organisation problem - my list of literature is missing :-( Also, a part of the library where you could access the books on your own is now closed which means you have to order them first. Oh great. Bad surprise for me on Friday... So I only borrowed the book mentioned above from another library with all access. I need to order the rest first... As you can imagine, this was frustrating as hell. I hope I'll be able to be a little bit more productive next week - but then, I always say that, don't I?

Apart from all this, I haven't been up to anything special. Wanted to go to this rock club a week ago but ended up watching "Wag The Dog" and another silly German movie at a friend's. Oh and last Thursday I went to see "The Reader". Am I the only one who thinks it's strange that German people read German literature in English?? And write letters in English? Huh? I know it's a Hollywood movie but it does take place in Germany after all... Oh well.

Tomorrow is another working day and I so don't want to go... Need to finish some of these press releases, yawn.... Well at least I have tomorrow night to look forward to. Off to a glass of wine for now.
 

Ah, it's Monday again but it still feels like weekend - today is my day off and I'm at home :-) Went out for a drink with a friend last night and spent the rest of the weekend refreshing my Paul Simon obsession. Listened to "The Rhythm of the Saints" today and realised what a fantastic album this is. I just never ever get tired of it. I remember when I was in 11th grade I used to listen to it up and down. I always had a walkman and a tape of the album with me (yes, tape!). Played it on the way to school, on my way home, between lessons... Great memories.
So, I was browsing the web to find out what Paul is up to these days, besides the Beacon Theater re-opening. Found this amazing video:

http://media.barnesandnoble.com/?fr_story=49f98fabf9fb58f70e86f7252b792c2286118154&rf=bm

He talks about his new book, a compilation of all his lyrics, songwriting and plays a brand new song called "Love in Hard Times" plus two other new bits and pieces and "The Only Living Boy in New York". Great stuff! This almost makes me wish he had not said this:

http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/3637218

That's Paul contemplating a reunion tour with Art (they played at the Beacon Theater re-opening Feb 13/14). Of course I'd be happy for the fans in Asian and Australia BUT... I'd prefer it if Paul continued to work on his new compositions :-(
Really, is there any other songwriter who keeps on developing like him? Dylan is still stuck in that folk rock protest singer drawer, his stuff is musically boring. Roger Waters... Oh come on. He did some awesome stuff with Pink Floyd but solo? He remained static after "The Wall". Hmm, only songwriter with some serious development is Mark Knopfler, I'd love to see where art will lead him. But I think Paul Simon's musical skills are exceptional. I can't wait to hear more new stuff! Please, if he really needs to tour with Art, get this over with soon...

On to my favourite TV show :-) Tonight's House episode sounds really promising and even though I didn't sleep well last night I'll try to stay awake and watch this live. More about this tomorrow...

Yay, it's Friday! I had a mixed week - work was okay so far; my boss asked me to write a letter to people who could be interested in advertising in one of the magazines he works for. Not that easy... It's still a draft basically and I think I need some more ideas. Maybe some time off will do me good - it's carnival over here and I needn't go to work on Monday. Good chances I'll be fit enough to watch the House livestream Monday night - last Monday I totally fell asleep! I was still awake at 1 a.m. and placed my laptop next to my bed, but then I woke up again at 2.20 a.m. and thought: Damn. But strangely enough, I felt a little indifferent... I've read the spoilers about all the Foreteen crap in that episode so I wasn't too excited in the first place. Ah well, the episode was nice, but not great... I loved the Huddy stuff and Hugh's piano composition, though!
Next week's episode looks really promising so I think my excitement will be all back then.

This week I had a Paul Simon / Simon & Garfunkel flashback. They performed at the re-opening of New York's famous Beacon Theater on Friday 13 and 14 - I totally missed it! I found out accidentally while stopping by paul-simon.info and immediately had to check out some videos on youtube. Paul Simon performed some solo stuff, including some tunes from "The Capeman", his terrific but way too underestimated musical. Look at this!


This is "Bernadette", one of my favourite songs from "The Capeman". Simon's voice is really amazing on this one. Seeing this makes me wish I 'd have had a chance to see this play on stage in 1998... But it didn't make it past Broadway, in fact the final curtain fell only after 60-something shows... People and critics were obviously overstrained with the unconventional topic, the social rehabilitation of a killer... It IS controversial but it raises some very interesting philosophical questions. Is death penalty right? In how far are people able to change if they are given a chance? And much more... Need to dig out the CD this weekend.

Oh yes and Art Garfunkel was there, too:


This reminded me of these wonderful two reunion concerts I attended in Cologne and Munich in 2004. Pure magic... Paul Simon is my all-time favourite songwriter and Simon & Garfunkel's tunes have been a constant in my life since I was 9 years old. I will always have a special connection with their music... I think I'll watch "The Concert in Central Park" tonight - instead of going to this rock club. I fear I caught a cold so I'd better take things slow this weekend, maybe have a drink with a friend tomorrow night or Sunday...

Oh yes, that old Fry & Laurie qoute really seems appropriate... In a positive and a negative sense. Positive because last week was really exhausting and I'm still glad it's over. Negative because the weekend was way too short. Was at the publishing company 4 days instead of 2 because the secretary was on vacation. So I had to do both my job and hers, which is - you guessed it - answering the phone. Well, at least I finally figured out how it works now but since I'm still quite new I don't know most of the people who call and what they want. So I felt a little incompetent... Also, these press releases I worked on were quite tough. I like editing texts but it always takes me a while when I'm not familiar with the subject matter... Oh well. We'll see what my boss will say tomorrow. I was just more that glad when I was finally on my way home on Friday. Public transport was a mess that morning and there was construction noise on the floor underneath my office. I had a headache when I arrived back home... Yesterday was all better. It had snowed over night and when I woke up, everything looked like this:



Unfortunately most of the snow is already gone again. I just love it (and prefer it over hot summers actually) - it's beautiful and falling snowflakes make me calm.

Was at the movies last night and saw "The International". Nice film, even though  that whole conspiracy thing was a little confusing.
Also, Clive Owen's one facial expression reminded me a little of Thirteen... And it took me a while to recognise Armin Mueller-Stahl. Maybe because the moustache was missing! I really liked the opening scene by the way. There is this agent who gets poisoned by a secret informer and he throws up. Then he lies motionless on the street.... And then: Opening credits! Now, does this remind you of something? LOL! Also had dinner with my brother at this great French restaurant (nice transition, huh?). They make the best salads I've ever tasted! Unfortunately we were a little late last night and they already closed at 8 pm so we had to hurry a bit. At least we made it on time to the cinema then. The city was really crowded last night, I wonder if there was some special event? Never seen so many people at the movies either...

Anyway, time to relax now and have a big cup of coffee. Will probably watch "Street Kings" later on, bought the DVD last week. But first I need to finish reading my article on terminology... This is getting frustrating. Any advice on how to get some motivation?

So it's Sunday evening again and I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow... The past few days were really nice. We had a Raclette evening at a friend's on Thursday and I got to know a bunch of new people which is always good, even though I usually don't feel very comfortable around people I don't know. But as the evening progressed and there were only a few people left, I felt a little better. Got to know a very nice guy and even had a little chat about House - I wore my "Everybody Lies" shirt that night :-) Yes I am a geek...
Rest of the weekend was pretty unspectactular. At least I managed to start reading the next (and hopefully final) article for my PhD draft. Then it's the books next... I don't know, I still feel insecure about my decisions. Have I made the right choices? Two part time jobs and a PhD, a little bit here and there, but nothing to really focus on entirely. But what else can I do? I can't give up my PhD, so I can't do a full-time job, at least not now. But for how long? And do I really want to work full-time for this company where I currently have a part time job? It's so annoying but I'm constantly questioning my situation and never know what's right. I so hope I can make a decision in a couple of months but time is moving so fast. And if only I had the time and energy to work on my PhD properly. I'd feel a lot better... Sigh. I guess I have to find a way to get myself together. It just seems to me that sometimes I really feel stuck in this cycle and I don't know how to get out and if it was satisfying if I did. Kind if reminds me of the last House episode... Oh well. We'll see what tomorrow brings... And bummer, no House tomorrow night! So I got nothing to look forward to. Great. Anyway, will feed my iPod with some new songs now... Listening to Tom Paxton right now which doesn't really improve my mood at all.

Look what I found!  =)

www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article1028101/Die_Goldene_Kamera_Preistraeger_feiern_im_Privaten.html

Uggh, that bald-headed guy's English skills make me cringe ^^

Alright, I just felt like it ^^ Here are a bunch of screencaps I did from the two Golden Camera videos...


( Read more... )

Okay, here's what I've found so far.

This is a brief interview with Hugh (looking especially hot!):


Then there is this video of the press conference; you can see a brief excerpt of Hugh's "Thank you" video starting at the 0:41 mark:


Screenshot + another small picture:





Please, if someone knows where to find the entire video I'd be eternally thankful ^^

I've just realised it's been over a week since my last entry so time to catch up... Last week was alright, work was okay and I was able to read some more essays for my PhD draft. I was really satisfied. There are still quite a few I need to read, not to mention the tons of books I need to borrow from the library... Weekend was fine, too - my friend and I continued our "Californication" marathon - oh well we were pretty tired so we only watched four episodes... I really love this show, especially Hank Moody and the way he ticks - he's an ass, mainly towards women but he has a really big heart, too. I love the scenes with his daughter and Karen, even though I don't like Karen herself. At one point I was screaming at the TV: "Good lord woman, make up your mind!" It's always the same: She's pissed at Hank, then she's not - she just cannot decide what she wants. Also, for the first time I thought that episode where Hank's father dies is really too much of a TV show cliché. Oh well.

On to another TV show, House that is :-) Last week's episode, "Big Baby", was really great. In fact, I wrote a longish review about it but was too lazy to translate it into English... The oh-so-anticipated 100th episode, "The Greater Good" was mediocre in comparison. There were some interesting topics adressed, and the question whether everyone is satisfied in what they're doing, if they're able to change and the whole "people don't change" thing was nice. I especially loved seeing more Wilson again. The last scene was heartbreaking. And I felt so sorry for House being the victim of Cuddy's silly pranks. Poor guy, he was forced to climb stairs! The scene where House enters his office, totally out of breath, was amazing. I could really feel the pain :-(
What I did NOT care about was Thirteen and Foreman. But this will be a topic for a longer rant later on...

Some great news for German House fans today! House was voted "Favourite US-TV show on German TV" and won the "Golden Camera". Unfortunately there wasn't a ceremony this year - there usually is, but as far as I know, they were running out of money? Anyway, someone must have flown over to LA to give the award to Hugh:



There is a video message too but I haven't found it yet. It's such a shame they scratched the award show this year... Who knows, maybe this would have been the chance to finally see Hugh over here? Sigh!!

Off to watch the latest House episode again - today is my day off, one day earlier than usual. Was at work yesterday because the secretary wasn't there which means I had to do her job AND mine. It was horrible, especially because once again I couldn't get the phone to work properly which annoyed everyone. Oh great... I'd better stay away from phones in the future. And my apologies for the sushi delivery guy whom I didn't give a tip!

Another weekend is over... Where did it go?
I was so lazy for the rest of last week I wasn't able to do anything besides sitting at home and reading the latest House spoilers. But - it was worth it! Read this:

Latest from Ausiello

Oh my God... I wonder how this will turn out! I'm a little shocked and very pleased at the same time :-)
Looking forward to the new episode tomorrow. Let's see if I'll be fit enough to watch the livestream again, hehe...

My weekend was quite relaxing. As I said, I didn't do that much on Thursday and Friday, I was simply too tired... Which was really annoying because I planned to work on my PhD draft again. Went to the movies with two friends last night - really needed to go out! We saw "Twilight", which wasn't really my kind of thing - I'm either too old for this kind of movie or I simply find this kind of entertainment not very appealing. Funny thing, though: Edi Gathegi, who played Cole on House, was one of the vampires ;-)
My friends made fun of me anyway because one of the vampires was a doctor, and they know that I'm a big House fan so they mocked me and said, "That guy is a doctor, you like doctors, right?" LOL! Am I too much of a hardcore fan?

Anyway, managed to read one article about terminology today so my free days weren't entirely wasted and I felt a little better. Also worked a little on this health care survey - I hope I'll be able to complete it tomorrow.
Need a second glass of champagne right now and I guess it's time to fall into bed after that.

Ah, it's already Wednesday and the worst part of the week is over. I haven't had much sleep lately and yesterday it all sort of broke out. I didn't feel very well and went to bed at 11 pm which is really early for me... Fortunately, things were better today and work was okay, too. I'm almost done with my survey and my boss seemed to be satisfied, too. Also, no phone calls today which is good. The secretary answered most of them, she's quicker than I. But I don't complain... Anyway work's done for this week and now it's time to sit and relax before I'll continue with my PhD draft tomorrow. But before I'll do that, I thought I'd write a review of the new House episode. Yes I managed to stay awake and watched it live (BTW, I think American commercials are the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time. It's always cell phones, cars and fast food. And I thought German TV was awful - but frankly, our commercials almost seem sophisticated in comparison), and it was worth it. Here we go:



Hm, hope I didn't forget something. Feedback is welcome BTW :-)

Finally! There'll be a brand new House episode tonight! Been looking forward to this the whole day... No, to be accurate, I've been waiting for over a month! So, even though I had a busy day at work and may need IV drips of caffeine later on I'll stay up at watch the livestream - yes, it will be 2 a.m. over here when House will reappear on the screen (or in my case, a tiny little window on my laptop).  But judging by the latest spoilers (plus there's already a recap of the whole episode available on the official Fox site), this one's going to be really good :-)

Had a nice but way too short weekend.  Watched some episodes of "Californication" at a friend's on Saturday. I intended to resume work on my PhD draft yesterday but then I got a bad conscience (thanks to my brother) and continued to tinker on this survey layout I need to do for work. It's annoying really as there are always little things you overlook but I'm glad I did it - it still took plenty of time at work today. Overall it was pretty satisfying today as I'm already done with the main part. Only thing that bothered me was the fact that I seem to be inept to operate a phone! Ugh, I felt really stupid... I guess it's not that bad as I'm still quite new there but I tend to be very neurotic about these things. I always wonder what people might think of me or whether I'll ever be able to live up to their expectations - or disappoint them. Ah, parental issues... And this proves again that Jean-Paul Sartre is right. Hell, that's the others - simply because we always rely too much on other people's opinions and what they think of us...

But enough already... Time to relax now and count the hours until House is on =)

Yes I still feel a little grumpy today but this just cheered me up immensely.
Hugh Laurie and the Band from TV performed at the Tonight Show with Jay Leno yesterday!
