I'm back! I survived - in this order:

a) a 6-hour drive, leaving at 5:00 am

b) a family wedding with relatives from Milan, Abruzzo and the USA

c) a day at the seaside (I didn't get sunburnt only because the sky was overcast)

d) a huge barbeque

e) a day in Rome (I got sunburnt)

f) a day at the waterpark (I got even more sunburnt)

g) another 6-hour drive, this time with my cousin's girlfriend too (she had forgotten her passport at home and is leaving for Hungary tomorrow, so she came with us to fetch it and is now on her way back to Pescara by train).

I ate so - fucking - much. Hopefully I didn't gain weight, because we walked so much in Rome and didn't lazy around much at the waterpark yesterday, but really, the wedding lunch had 7 courses, all fish-based. I had to refuse two courses because I was so full. And, for the first time in my life, I ate oysters. I've always refused to because, you know, you have to eat them raw, but I thought "Well, I've eaten sushi, why not oysters?" And, man, they were delicious.

My cousins have a kitten and a tiny little puppy (the kitten is bigger than the puppy!), they were always playing together. The kitten even licked my face this morning! AWW! >_< Speaking of my cousins, my American cousin lost two kilos since he arrived in Italy. How did he do that?! My aunt cooks tons of food! It's probably because he's always doing something these days, going here and there with his wife and 2 kids, but really, how much does he eat at home? And what? Only junk food? I really don't want to know.

I had a lot of fun, but now I need to go back to WG-hunting. Before I left, a girl had answered my email asking me if I was in Berlin so we could meet and she could show me the room, I told her I could go there at the end of the month, but she didn't reply! D: I wrote her another email, but I'd better send off some other messages as well.

God, it's so hot! D:

Welcome back. A very nice report. You must read the books, too. Maria, ihm schmeckt's nicht and Antonio im Wunderland are perfect for you. XD

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Or you can watch the film of "Maria, ihm schmeck's nicht"! :) I haven't seen it yet but it has Christian Ulmen. :)

Good luck with WG-hunting! :)

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

You HAVE to see it!! It's fantastic. :)

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Is it better or worse than the book?

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm, a bit different, but not too much. It's a really good movie, as good as the book. If you like the book, you'll love the movie too. The actors are just perfect and the story is very good too. Some deatils aren't the same, but I didn't mind. I saw it twice until now and I'd go and see it again and again ... Christian Ulmen and Lino Banfi are so damn good, the others too. And try to find Jan Weiler, he has a very little part too. :D

You see, I'm a fan. Often, I don't like film versions of books I really love, but this one is really amazing.

Thing is, I haven't read the book yet even though I always wanted to. And now, I'm wondering whether I should go watch the film first or hurry up and read the book. Your opinion?
I guess I have shallow reasons to watch the movie, I just love Christian Ulmen! ♥ (And whenever I see the preview for "Männerherzen", I get angry 'cause I can't understand how he can play a loser!)

Btw, I friended you, if that's okay? :)

You don't have to read it. It's nice, but not necessary. I read the book some years ago and hardly remebered anything the first time I saw the movie. I loved it nevertheless. Then I read both books again and watched the movie again. And I still love it. :D

If you love Christian Ulmen anyway, you'll love the movie too. XD

Btw, I friended you, if that's okay? :) Sure, I friended you too. :)

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay, then I will go watch it as long as it it still in theatres. And then read it. :) I'm already pretty sure I'll love both.

I don't quite know why I love him, but it makes everything he does enjoyable! xD

Hurra! :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Hopefully I'll be able to seen the film when I'm in Berlin. :)

[urania-chan.livejournal.com]

Then good luck with that, too. :)
