Whew, the parcel for eryka_59 arrived safe and sound. And quickly, my opinion of the Italian postal system has highly improved. The letter to Germany should have arrived too and I hope the cards to the USA will get there before Xmas as well.

It's Saturday night and I'm home with nothing to do, so I'll post a meme nicked from schwimmerin: Go to your Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2005. Post the first line of it in your journal, and that's your "Year In Review"

January: Happy New Year! As usual I didn't make new year's resolutions, I simply hope this year will be a bit better than the last - and it wouldn't take much.
February: I've been busy busy busy these days.
March: HAAAAAAAAAA!!! Curedrink 2005! I MUST be there! >____<
April: I finally found a copy of Good Omens! YAY! I'm about 50 pages into it and I already love it.
May: Oh, boy. I thought I'd never finish this.
June: First of all I want to apologise to kasche, harleen and nyxalinth. Your drawings are ready, but I've had problems with a virus on my home PC, so I couldn't scan and upload them.
July: Gah. These last couple of weeks have been quite surreal.
August: I drew this last week at work, it's just a sketch but I'm quite pleased with it, especially with his expression and his nose. *loves Snape's beaky nose* ^__^
September: I'm currently reading "Watching the aeroplanes", by autiotalo and quantesque.
October: Three more icons made from the pic unbelangbar posted the other day.
November: Halloween Party was... uhm... good.
December: I went to see The Rocky Horror Show last night, I was with Demi, Elena and Stefano (Los 4 Fantasticos strike back!) and it was great.

And a few pictures. I went to Milan to buy Xmas present this afternoon and brought my camera. I never take photos when I go to Milan because, well, I'm always there for work, I attended high school and university there, so I don't really feel the need to take pictures, you know. But today I wanted to look at the city as if I were a tourist. Garfinkel would be proud of me. (Geeky sociological reference. :P)


The Swarovsky Christmas tree in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.


Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II seen from Piazza Duomo.


The Christmas tree in Piazza Duomo, traditionally donated to the city by the Italian-Swedish Chamber of Commerce.


The Christmas tree and the Gallery.


Neon lights on the passage connecting two buildings. It's part of La Rinascente, one of Milan's most famous (and expensive) shops.


The Cathedral (Duomo). I wanted to take more pictures, but they were celebrating Mass, so I just took this and went out.



Tomorrow or Monday I'll also post those Ärzte screencaps I promised eryka_59 some time ago. I haven't forgotten, I just haven't had time. :P

Oh man, I want to go there. Hey, I actually know two people from Milan! Heh, I am cool. :P

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Yes, come over here, I'll show you around! :D It's not the most beautiful city in the world, but there are still nice things to see. :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know Swarovsky is from Austria. :) I had a look at the Swarovsky Gallerie in Innsbruck but didn't actually enter, it was a bit crowded, so we chose to wander around and see the town rather than being surrounded by loud tourists and expensive cristal objects. :P The dragon at the entrance was amazing though, I should've taken a picture of it.

Mann!!!! Sieht wunderschön aus....*mouth opened*
I save the pictures. :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Glad you like them! :D I should take more pictures of Milan...

[eryka-59.livejournal.com]

Of course I like them...I've never been in Italy. In fact, the South-European countries never interested me that much, if I'd have thechoice, I'd prefer to go in the North of Europe for holidays, or in the East. But Milan looks really pretty...*sighs* :)

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Well, in the center of Milan there are pretty things to see, but all in all I wouldn't call it a nice city, there are better places in Italy. :P

I like Northern Europe too. I've never been to Eastern Europe, but I'd love to visit Transilvania! I've wanted to do a tour of Transilvanian castles for years.

[eryka-59.livejournal.com]

I've never been to Northern Europe, but would love to go for a trip in sweden or Norway...And from Eastern Europe, I only know Poland, but would really like to see more :) Transilvania...sounds great...With some chance you'll meet Bela running the Transilvanian marathon (or so?) ;) And Eastern culture is rich...I'd love to see more...

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Norway! When I was a child I used to have posters of Norway and would stare dreamily at the landscapes, mainly because we get so little snow here. :(

How about we tour Transilvania together? We could even invite Bela to join us... X)

[eryka-59.livejournal.com]

I had a poster of Norway hanging above my bed ^^ And in the North of France there's no snow either...I dream to go to Poland now, or in February for the holidays, cause they always tell me how much snow they get, around 1 meter or so sometimes, and it must be fantastic ^^

Yay, great idea! :P And what if he doesn't want?

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Of course he'll come with us! It's Transilvania! Someone who calls himself "Bela" can't refuse such an invite. And he'll have two nice girls all for himself... *grin*
