It's *really* official now

Diana's new book, An Echo in the Bone will be out on 22 September 2009.

Go here to see the statement on her homepage, where you can also have a look at the cover*.

Yai, can't wait! :)



*I'm wondering what the colour for the German edition will be. The last one was black already and Diana originally wanted a very dark purple for this one. Well, wait and see as Diana is wont to say :)

Weather

A hail storm is currently unloading itself over my city. Fun...

It's spring, d@amn it!!

Pet Peeve

This is totally random, please bear with me (just need to get it off my chest, or I'll burst *g*).


Every time I have watched the Chronicles of Narnia-Prince Caspian movie so far, I always started at a certain point of the final good-bye scene in the German version.
Then I watched the English version a few times. And finally, finally it clicked.

The Pevensie kids are talking about not coming back (Peter and Susan at least) bla bla. Then Peter tells Lucy that he thinks Edmund and her will come back.
He says "I think he [Aslan] means you to."

And what did they do with the dubbing? "Irgendwie glaube ich, er meint euch." which translates to "I think he means you two."

Well, there is a difference between to and two! And don't tell me they didn't know this expression. They should be professionals for heavens sake!
Waaaah! :)
This is so out of context, no wonder I was always like "What is he talking about?"

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

In the End

IF SOMEONE SAYS 'ARE YOU OKAY' YOU SAY?

Fascination by Alphabeat

Well, they do sing "fascination, it's just the way we feel".


HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF?

In Scandinavia by Runrig

Well, I don't how this fits.


WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?

I'd wait for life by Take That

For the right one? Maybe. But I'd rather they don't take so long. :)


HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?

The way you look tonight by Frank Sinatra

The way I look tonight is happy I guess. And I've been happy today. :)

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?

Strawberry Swing by Coldplay

Let me start with saying that I LOVE strawberries.

And I really like this line: People moving all the time / Inside a perfect straight line / Don't you wanna just curve away?


WHAT'S YOUR MOTTO?

Concerning Hobbits – Fellowship of the Ring OS

Um... no lyrics here. But this is a very happy, uplifting song showing all the vitality and easiness the hobbits have, and yeah... I kinda like people better when they are happy :)


WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?

Viva la Vida by Coldplay


WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?

Everybody's someone by Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem

Well.. yes... A good someone I hope.


WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?

Ghetto Gospel by 2Pac and Elton John


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Wire to Wire by Razorlight

How do you interpret this?


WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?

Go all the way by Perry Farrell

Yeah, all or nothing. (Although the lyrics imply something entirely else – but I will ignore that for this question *g*)


WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

Hearts of Olden Glory by Runrig

Did I mention that this song always reminds me of Murtagh?


WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?

The ride of the Rohirrim – The Return of the King OS

The last charge to conquer the enemy and prevail hope. Yes, I like this. (and I love the Edoras/Rohirrim theme anyhow)


WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?

I wish I was a punkrocker by Sandi Thom

Hell, yeah!


WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?

Broken Strings by James Morrison and Nelly Furtado

Hm...


WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?

Sie sieht mich nicht by Xavier Naidoo

Translation: She does not see me. About a guy that admires a woman from afar, thinking she is perfect (at least) and he is and has nothing to compare.

What does this say about me, if we take this seriously? :) I have complexes ;)


WHAT DO YOU WANT RIGHT NOW?

Why does it always rain on me by Travis

I take this to mean: I want this damn all-week drizzle to stop already!


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?

Clash of the Ash by Runrig

Listening to the song, makes me think of PAAARTAY!!!

And the gane itself looks like a fun sport.


WHAT WILL YOU POST THIS AS?

In the End by Linkin Park

Yes, this is the end.
And I think pretty much everyone has been tagged now. If you are not, go for it.

Werewolf

One thing is constantly tearing at my mind at the moment. The question 'What enemy do werewolves have?'

Vampire comes to mind immediately (yes, I read Twilight too ;) ) but that is a bit cliché. Is there nothing else? Some kind of demon or something?
I’m not so well versed in demon lore ;) so I don’t know which one would make a good werewolf opponent..
Of course, one can always invent an enemy/demon…

So, any suggestions anyone?

I'm not dead

Just very occupied.

I hope the M:A ladies especially forgive me for not getting in touch in the last couple of weeks.

Next month will be better, I swear.


I am Very busy. Big job to do:
