Tuesday's Tickle Treatment #2

This week's Tickle Treatment comes from Avenue Q - the Tony-Award-winning musical, starring on-stage-played puppets. Similarities with certain SesameStreet characters are not accidental, though these puppets are in their twenties and thirties and have to deal with adult problems.

Some of you might know this video, but I think it's always good for a laugh, even if you've seen it before:



Have fun guys and girls!

What the f...?!? #3

This weeks WTF is about drinking. Yes folks, after the little test I did yesterday (watch the last post) and the experiences on my birthday-party (people still tell me how funny it was that I kept clingin to the microphone while I was nearly falling from the barstool), I officially surrender. I hereby declare October the official month of booze and drunkness!!! Everybody is welcome to join me. Please feel free to comment on your experiences!

And as I ain't very creative today, and moreover in desperate need of a drink, I just give you something to feast your eyes on and get in the right mood ...







Have fun folks, I need to go to the supermarket, the kitchen needs cleaning and I'm running out of beer.

I should've known ...

I did this little fun-test, and see what happened ...

You Are

A Drunk Pumpkin Face You would make a good pumpkin martini.

What's Your Pumpkin Face?

Is anybody really surprised?! AAAw, darn it, I'll go and have a glass of wine ...

Things YOU wanna know ...

1.) What did I buy at amazon.com for 100$? As I am a generous person, I decided to split the pot and buy something for the boys (from now on the term I'll use for my roommates) as well.

For me I got:

- Douglas Adams, "The deeper meaning of liff"
I definitely will write a post about that one, cause this book IS wonderful!

- Robert Shea, "The Illuminatus Trilogy"
Nothing for the faint hearted, not even comparable to Dan Brown's kindergarden-version of the Illuminati-story. Disturbing and spell-binding.

For boy#1 who also is #1 in my heart (sounds cheesy doesn't it):

- Alex Ross, "Earth X"
A graphic novel - yes folks, I lost my heart to one of those nerds ;)

For boy#2

- All Pro football 2K8 for XBOX 360

2.) Still looking for the right Halloween-costume? Why not become a god/godess? Your divine appearance will be enough to make any kind of maquerade unnecessary. The Bald Guy offers you this chance of your lifetime, and he means it! If you already have a costume, go there either because you want to experience the good and powerful feeling of being a god/godess, or just because the guy is really funny ;)
P.S.: If you don't want to become a god, but still need a costume, I recommend the Urban Camouflage

3.) Participating in blog-contests is not only good for strengthening the blogging community, in most cases it's good for your wallet as well. Sometimes you have to simply backlink, sometimes you have to write a post. But for Lynn's 25 Things for Charity contest, you will really have to work! I think this is a wonderful way to do something for charity, so please join in!
uhm, btw, no worries, you can win a prize, too, if this is what it needs to get you going *shakehead*

Enough for today folks, enjoy your weekend!

Thursday Thirteen #2




Thirteen Things about Juliadamus I'm a dedicated book-lover! I've always been and I always will be. In this weeks TT I will show you my favourite books/authors. Some of them influenced me as a child, others are current reading. I hope you enjoy the list, and maybe I can inspire you to read one or two of theese books ;) 13. "The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm I guess everybody knows this one, and for those who don't: I'm sorry folks, but Snow White is not an original Disney-product ;) 12. "The Neverending Story" and "Momo" by Michael Ende Both stories are classics of childhood-literature, at least in Germany. 11. "Mister God, This is Anna" by Fynn This book not only provides answers to the big questions in life, it also provides the questions! 10. "Animal Farm" and "1984" by George Orwell Big Brother is watching you! 9. "The Wizard of Oz" by L.F. Baum We're off, to see the wizard! The wonderful wizard of Oz! 8. "Look Back, Mrs. Lot" and all the other books by Ephraim Kishon Kishon writes short stories about the life of an jewish author married to "the best wife in the world". His wit and sarcasm, make me laugh out loud everytime! 7. "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4" by Sue Townsend Simply hilarious, english humor. And so true! 6. "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett The book is subtitled "The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch". It's the mixture between Pratchetts imaginative writing and the spell-binding power of Gaiman's plot. 5. "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll I looovee the Mad Hatter! 4. "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman The final showdown between the old gods, brought to America by all the different immigrants (including Thor, Leprechauns and the egyptian cat-godess Bask), and the new gods, created through our daily worshipping (yes, ther's a TV-God, think about it!). The perfect book for long winter-evenings on the couch! 3. "A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" a Trilogy in five books by Douglas Adams So true, so funny and simply one of the best books in the world!!! Favourite character: Marvin the depressed robot! 2. "Soul Music" and all other Discworl-novels by Terry Pratchett! Terry Pratchett invented the Discworld, to hold a mirror up to our faces. Although settled in a world full of myth and magic, parallels are quite obvious. And btw it's hilariously funny written! 1."Ronia, The Robber's Daughter" by Astrid Lindgren I don't remember how often I've read this book as a child. But it influenced me a lot. It's about strength, friendship, bravery and raising your voice for what is right. And all this from a girl's point of view! Ooops! Do I have 13 already? Oh there's so much more but that gives me opportunity to write another TT about my favourite books ;) Hope you enjoyed the list, I'm looking forward to your feedback!

Tuesday's Tickle Treatment #1

Hey folks, it's me again!

You know that there's a lot of crazy and incredibly funny stuff in the internet. That's why I started this new series, where I'll show something that at least I think is funny on a weekly basis.
And to be very honest I actually don't care if you do ;)
But nevertheless, feel free to comment and if you have any suggestions for stuff that should be shown here, let me know!

I will start with a little film made by Jennifer Shiman and the Angry Alien Production. They specialised on little cartoon movies, having bunnies reenact famous films in about 30 seconds. I'll probably show you more of these from time to time.

So here we go, have fun:

The Shining


Redrum! Redrum!

And the winner is.....

.... me, me, me, me!!!

I just can't believe it! I really won something!

Remember the backlinking contest I wrote about? It was started by Lincoln Adams and the prize was a 100$ gift-certificate from a major- online-book-store ;)

And yeps, I really made it, I won something for the first time in my life! Although I must admit I'm not sooo much of a gambling person. I test my luck from time to time in charity lotteries, cause if I don't win, I still have the feeling I'm not just stuffing my money up somebodies greedy a**.

Bye folks, I'm off shopping :)
