Just read on Bela's Twitter:

Gesuch: Schwarzer Pudel für Fotoshooting im Raum Hamburg gesucht! Antwort bitte an: fanpost@bela-b.de.

Kitsch-O-Meter level: About to explode. XD

My first day at the language school was all right, I'm in a class with 9 other people in the morning: 2 from French-speaking Switzerland, 1 French, 3 Americans (the 2 guys from Oregon have such a strong accent, I can barely understand what they say), a guy from Spain, 1 from England and 1 from New Zeland; while in the afternoon it's just me, the guy from France and a guy from Japan - who also has such a thick accent.

Then I went to my friends to pick up my coat and combat boots and stayed for dinner: I ate Sauereier and survived. XD We also watched a part of "Zeitgeist" (you can find teh English version with Italian subtitles here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=74FB6812A07FFF81&search_query=zeitgeist) and I'm definitely going to see the rest as soon as I have a bit of time. I am DISGUSTED with our society.

Talking about being disgusted with our society, Saturday I'm probably going to take part in a demonstration in front of the Italian embassy in Berlin to protest against Berlusconi's power over the Italian media and will try to take pictures.

And now... sleep.

Someone I know at work breeds black poodles :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

You should send one to Bela! XD

[kiviraat.livejournal.com]

I should! She has puppies she's trying to sell right now haha! They'd fit in a mail-box wouldn't they? :D

I want a black pooble D: I'd breed it with the pug and it would be the most beautiful creature to ever crawl over the earth's crust. EVER.

What is Sauer Eier?

That Pudel-Tweet is hilarious. We should lend one and go to Hamburg. XD

I've looked a bit online and the correct name is probably "Süßsaure Eier", that is boiled eggs covered in a mustard-based sweet-sour cream and served with püree. She told me it's a typical Berlin dish...

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

Igiiiiiiiitt, never heard of it. And I don't want to try. ;)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Come on, if two Italians ate that and survived, it can't be that bad. ;) Not that I plan on eating that again soon, mind you... :P

[polarforscherin.livejournal.com]

No, thanks. XD

I'm sickened very quickly. :D

Oh, I had boiled eggs in mustard sauce at the camp for underprivileged kids in Sachsen-Anhalt I was at while doing my internship. I don't like mustard but actually, it was pretty tasty.

Don't know if it's the same thing though.

Sigh. Americans are so embarrassing. :(

I saw a really disturbing documentary the other day about women on Italian television and how much they're sexualized. It was really shockingly bad the stuff they show on morning and afternoon TV!! Go be outraged and protest!

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Well, there's another American in my class (he's from... Cleveland, I think?) and his accent isn't so bad. Apart from the "ch" sound that always turns into "ck". ;) But he doesn't have the "typical American R", while the 2 guys from Oregon do.

And Italians aren't usually much better... :P

EDIT: Also, was the documentary you watched called "Il corpo delle donne"? If so, I've seen it too and was shocked. I mean, I had noticed as well, but since I don't watch much TV, I didn't know the situation was so serious. =/

[schwimmerin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the one. Really disturbing!

I try not to drop my rrrrrrrrrrs except in English, and I think I do a pretty good job. :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Well, I heard you speak German and, as far as I can remember, you didn't have an accent at all! *thumbs up*

Where did you see that documentary? Online or on TV?

[schwimmerin.livejournal.com]

Online, with English subtitles. One of my mom's Italian professors had sent it to her because my mom had sent her an article from the New York Times about the women's movement in Italy. Ugh, those collagen-injected lips will haunt me forever. And that's not even the worst of it!

Danke :)
