I am feeling muuuuuch better!!! Not 100% yet, but working on it!
…and…
I’ve found a new place to live!
Yes yes yes my precious, We’ve found a place for us…
I’m relieved and excited, the new apartment looks good, has the whole furniture and stuff inside… well, it’s only to get in and have fun!
Let’s see if it’ll be a good place to live. At least it’s cheap and decent enough.
I’m moving on September, 13th… wish me luck!

oh ja, and just a mental note (pure Sbrubles):
“NEVER mess up with him/her (see picture below). It’s not that something ‘can’ go worse than you thought. EVERYTHING will SURELY go much worse than you could ever imagine.”
I CAN’T BELIEVE I’VE WAITED ALMOST 20 YEARS TO SEE SONIC YOUTH LIVE AND I AM LAYING IN BED TODAY!
I have no words to express my anger… WHY????
Why do I HAVE to be sick today?? Sonic Youth’s in the city, I’ve waited so long to see them live and now… I cannot go to the concert because I AM SICK!
I’m so angry and frustrated…
Yesterday I told a friend: “it’s so unfair… I am laying in bed for almost 24 hours and I didn’t get any well…”
and my friend: “well, at least ‘you got laid’ … by sickness… it’s better than nothing, isn’t it?”
NOOOO, I don’t think it’s better than nothing!! Of course I would like to have Micha here
… and if it happens – some day – that I get kids, I hope they’ll never see this post…
But it’s the kind of crap we receive daily per Email at the office… funny? Gross? It’s up to you. I have to admit: I laughed!! (I’m almost sure Micha won’t find it funny at all… sigh…)
I can’t barely wait!!! Neil Gaiman is definitively my favorite author. I just love him! I’ve read almost all of his books and comics and heard the audio books and at least took a look at almost everything related to him…… and now we’ll have Neil Gaiman on the big screen!!!About 3 or 4 months ago I’ve received from a friend the link to the trailer:
… and today I got the following feed on my feed reader:
From Sci-Fi.Com … here is what Neil Gaiman had to say about Stardust the movie. Stardust Made Uneasy Film Transition Neil Gaiman, who produced the upcoming big-screen version of his fairy-tale-and-adventure novel Stardust, told SCI FI Wire that the translation from book to movie was anything but easy.In the film, a mere mortal (Charlie Cox) and a fallen star (Claire Danes) meet and hate each other, at least until they fall in love. And their path to happiness is further complicated by the star’s enemies, among them a powerful witch (Michelle Pfeiffer) and several ruthless princes (including Rupert Everett, Adam Buxton and Jason Flemyng).“The toughest nut to crack for something like Stardust, for example, in changing it into a film… there are a few things,” Gaiman said in an interview. “There were the problems that we knew we had going in, because they were the problems that I had in 1998, 1999, when Miramax had the option on it briefly, and I got to do a treatment, and suddenly I came face to face with these things for the first time. The biggest one was if you are completely faithful to the pacing of the book, the hero won’t be born for the first 15 or 20 minutes, and he’s not going to meet the heroine until almost three-quarters of the way through the movie. That’s a problem.”Also, Gaiman said, there are different pleasures to be had from reading a story versus experiencing it in a movie theater. He explained: “Something I did, that I took enormous joy in doing, and that I think is very pleasurable for readers or, if one can say this without sounding patronizing, the right kind of reader, is the way that when we get to the last few chapters the reader has a bird’s eye view of the action and knows more about what’s going on than any of the characters down at ground level, and there comes a point toward the end of the book where characters are missing each other, things that a character has done earlier wind up dooming them later, and they go past each other, sometimes without any knowledge of quite what’s happened. And we get to the final chapter, and we know just how close our hero and heroine came to not surviving the book, but they don’t, which is kind of fun.”Gaiman worked with Matthew Vaughn, the film’s director and co-screenwriter, and with co-screenwriter Jane Goldman and discussed what to drop, what to move and what to reimagine in order to make Stardust work as a movie.“If you’re sitting there in the audience, having sat through 85 minutes, and now everybody is missing each other, and the witch [Pfeiffer] is too old, and she’s doomed herself by these actions back there, and Sextmus [Buxton] winds up trying to kill her and getting killed by her, but never knows who she is and what she’s done, it would not be very satisfying in a film,” Gaiman says. “So there’s this point where you go, ‘We need all of them in a room.’”Gaiman added: “The biggest challenge in the whole thing [was] trying to figure out ways to make something work as a film. Sometimes it’s doable, and sometimes I have no idea how you do it.” Stardust opens Aug. 10. —Ian Spelling
and also:
From Sci-Fi.Com Neil Gaiman is clearly happy with the movie version of Coraline.Gaiman Praises Coraline’s SelickNeil Gaiman told SCI FI Wire that Henry Selick, who is directing the upcoming film version of Gaiman’s children’s novella Coraline, is perfect for the job. Selick, who has directed such stop-motion animation classics as The Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach, is helming the movie, about Coraline, a young girl ( voiced by Dakota Fanning), who stumbles upon a better version of her life in a parallel universe just beyond a wall in her building.“That’s beautiful,” Gaiman said of Coraline while promoting the Aug. 10 release of Stardust. “It’s that amazing thing where it’s Henry Selick doing stop-motion. Henry is a great director.”Oddly enough, Gaiman cites Selick’s little-seen Monkeybone as one of the reasons why he consented to Selick. The mostly live-action Monkeybone, about a cartoonist (Brendan Fraser) stuck in the world he created, was both a critical and financial bust upon its release in 2001, but it’s gained a cult following over the years.“I’m one of the few people who loved Monkeybone,” Gaiman said. “I think it’s a mess, but I think it’s a mess with more ideas in it than [most]. … Most movies only have one idea, and this one was a mess because it’s got 100 ideas. But Henry is a genius when it’s stop-motion. Nobody else can do that.”Gaiman added: “The lovely thing about Coraline is that it’s got life. The bits that I have seen that are animated are so expressive. Dakota Fanning is great. Teri Hatcher [as the voice of both Coraline's mother and the alternate-reality mother] is great, which came as a bit of a surprise to me, because I sort of was very cynical when they said, ‘Oh, we have got Teri Hatcher.’ But she’s great. John Hodgman, Jennifer Saunders, they’re great. It’s so cool. And the songs are by They Might Be Giants.” Coraline will be released in 2008. —Ian SpellingYeessssssssssssssssss!!! “it’s all happening, it’s all happening!!”
