The weather hasn't really checked yet that it is in fact already November and started to go all fluffy and squishy yesterday.

It's around 20 °C and you can actually wear summer clothes. *meep* Not that I mind or anything but I could have forgone my warm boots if the weather!gods gave teh warning a bit earlier. Ahem.

But the most awesome thing? Best. Sunrise. EVAR! :D

WEEKEND OF HUGS & KISSES



Heart of Sun by ~mercscilla on deviantART

Have a great one with sun, joy, cookies and lots of time for fandom! ^^

Poke it and tell it how awesome it would be if it would not crash right after logging in. *pats it*

What in the world could cause an entire city to be abandoned? Some become unlivable due to environmental disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis to nuclear meltdowns. Others become the center of military activity and remain contested and uninhabited as a result – or are simply left as memorials to the terrible events that took place in them. Still others are simply deserted when they outlive their usefulness as trade outposts or mining towns.

This Halloween, forget the plastic cape and cheesy costume. Why not find and explore the real relics and strange structures of an actual ghost town or abandoned city instead? From Azerbaijan to Japan, Italy to Siberia and Cyprus to China, here are twenty-four haunting real-life ghost villages, towns and cities from around the world.

The image gallery is incredible! I would have never thought that such cities exist or at least not in these dimensions. A whole island, a "walled city" or the futurictic village - places that all have been abandoned for different reasons and now are real ghost towns.

A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language

It's exactly what I would think. *headdesk* What has become of us? =D

A horde of wild cats (with a few rebel-home-cats) just gallopped over the roof.

O___________o

I soooooo don't wanna know what they were after. The screeching and whining was nightmarish enough. Thank you very much.

But, you know, if they went from left to right, they probably have to get back the same way, right?

So. Not. Cool. Nope.

*glares at roof and plots death-by-mice*

Well, I have several versions of the bible but never before one like this. *hmm*

Let Richard Dreyfuss' people go

A new audio-book version of the Bible, jam-packed with stars, has made it to shelves in time for the holidays. Richard Dreyfuss does Moses, Max Von Sydow does Noah and Gary Sinise is David, but they're just the beginning. The cast of 600 includes John Heard (Matthew), Lou Diamond Phillips (Mark), Chris McDonald (Luke) and Louis Gossett Jr. (John). Luke Perry is Judas. Who's Jesus? James Caviezel, who played the role once before, in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ." Producer Carl Amari told The Times that he pitched the project to Christian publisher Thomas Nelson.

"I always thought it would be cool to do a radio drama of the Bible," said Amari, who grew up "not real religious" in the Catholic Church. "You're dramatizing the greatest story ever told. It's God's word. How can you make God's word lift off the page? With great actors, great sound effects and music."...

When Amari projected that the venture would cost $4 million, the entire Thomas Nelson board of directors "looked at me," he recalled. It would be a leap of faith, given that the company's previous audio Bibles had cost at most $17,000 to produce. Then again, just 20,000 copies constituted a bestseller.

The audio Bible -- which is a faithful rendering of the New King James Version -- includes a musical score and evocative sound effects, just like a film."It's verbal Cinerama," said actor Michael York, who narrates both the Old and New Testaments. The 79-CD, 90-hour set costs $125. [full article]

Maybe more people are going to finally "read" the bible. I know for sure that my siblings would jump at the chance. :)

Stuff you come up with that totally confuses "normal" people.

People who have no idea of the world and language that exists behind the desktop. HA! =D

KA-BOOM!

Monday morning and you think all is going to be la-la. Phew.

We thought wrong.

The heater in the second cellar had a not-so-minor leak and went all suicidal. Completely with boiling water and black smoke.

The two-days clean up was not pretty, nu-uh, all smelly and fouly and GAH! *pouts* It went so far that my brother and I threw up from the smell. And we don't do that. Ever. O_o

At least this morning has clear sky, lots of sun and the air smells like FLOWERS! :D

And I'm busy eating Sour Dinosaurs Gummi Candy and Berries Gummi Candy. *yum*

I heard about LJ's new text search feature but I'm not able to find it anywhere on LiveJournal...?

Help, anyone?

ankareeda is a lifesaver. ♥ Love you, girl! *squishes*

I was shopping yesterday for cosmetics (you know, the usual, creme, lotion and stuff like that) and I got samples as well.

One of them is from Troll Cosmetics GmbH.

O____________o

Thanks, but no thanks. I don't wanna look like a witch after a frog-therapy... *rotfl*

Seriously, who thought it would be a good name for their company?
