oprah flashmob

i would love to take part in such a flashmob...

i love playing

http://www.bontegames.com/ is a website i recently discovered and i just love it. nearly everyday a new game - i especially like the "how to escape the room" ones. or try this one first http://www.bartbonte.com/duck, not too difficult. i can spent evenings/nights playing and searching for the answer. yes, i'm a playgirl.

see what big s. discovered on my frozen pizza!

have a wonderful wednesday!

a perm? no, thanks

yesterday, i had a dress rehearsal for a tv film which will be shot in my city. it's a film in the 80ies, so everyone got an odd haircut and so did i. when the make-up artist saw my hair she was delighted with the natural curls. a few minutes later i had some curlers in my hair and 15min later i just looked disastrous. meet grandma choconet:

smiling, she said to me: "say you like it or you get a perm!".

and so, in the end, i liked it.
looking forward to the day of shooting in june... but not the haircut and the clothes (a pink shirt and a pair of light blue jeans with a studded belt).

latest movies

in two weeks i've seen 5 movies:

• doubt - ok
• the curious case of benjamin button - man, is this movie long!
• the day the earth stood still - just another catastrophe film
• seven pounds - foreseeable

some movies haven't started yet in germany, so i can't tell any details.

bush in philadelphia

two days after obama's visit in philly, president bush was in town. he was even waving at us. the white thing in the car are his gloves.

every time i see the policemen it makes me laugh.
