By now, Isa should be somewhere above the Atlantic Ocean. *siiigh*

Yesterday, we (my brother, Nils, me) went to see TRaumschiff Surprise - Periode I, which is a German parody on Star Trek, Star Wars and a whole lot of other stuff including but not limited to A Knight's Tale and Western movies. It's hilarious, and I think it might be more succesful outside Germany than Manitou's Shoe (which was by the same director, and much the same crew). The Shoe parodied a certain German sort of Western movies, so half the allusions were to that and thus probably not understandable for most people outside Germany. TRaumschiff, however, is making fun of several Hollywood blockbusters, so the jokes should be funny for Non-Germans as well.
I liked it, anyway. Evil, absurd, silly but intelligent humour is always good for me. Mark the intelligent. Oh, and not over-done, add that. The MAD Magazine has often wonderful ideas, but they over-do it every time.

And that meme everybody seems to be doing now.

My journal is called ...a dream within a dream because that's a line from an Edgar Allan Poe poem that I find beautiful, and it fits because I am a dreamer and often enough wondering about the nature of reality.
My subtitle is Ich bin ein Clown und sammle Augenblicke because that's a line from the novel Ansichten eines Clowns by Heinrich Böll that fits to a journal in which I collect moments, days, thoughts. (English: "I'm a clown and collecting moments.">
My friends page is called Strangers from distant lands, friends of old because that phrase includes the friends, but also the fact that most of them are, in fact, strangers. And some of them come from distant lands.
My user name is oloriel because Lyra was already taken when I set up my LiveJournal. Oloriel supposedly means dreamer(female) in Quenya, so, along with the journal name, it works well enough.

And with a very, very bad conscience I belatedly cross my fingers for
