are a lot easier when they almost immediately prove themselves to be right.

Okay, the decision-making itself is not easier, but at least you stop wondering whether it was the right one.

I’m looking for a nice programm. Not iTunes (I just need the programm for music, thank you, not a whole system), not Windows Media Player (no comment).

What I do want: Dynamic (all 5star-rated songs, etc.) and other Playlists. It would be nice, if the Programm recognizes Audio-CD and adds names etc. when importing the songs.

Any idea?

Oh, it should be free.

Thanks. ^^

Today’s Questionable Content is very good. Reminds me of this xkcd-strip.

daß ich Titanic liebe?

Ein weiteres Schätzchen über Marco W.

Well, let’s see…

Party?

Dinner?

Nothing?

I don’t know.

What I do know: jeck and I will, once again, spent the evening together. ^^

Ich hab regelmäßig Emails im Spam-Ordner mit dem Betreff “Man lebt nur einmal.”

Da denk ich jedesmal: Okay, stümmt irgendwie. Und dann denk ich immer an das gleichnamige Lied von den Ohrbooten.

Tolle Band, immer wieder. Und dringend zu empfehlen, die live zu sehen. Wie die Ärzte schon sagten: Live viel besser als wie auf Platte. (was auf DÄ leider nicht zutrifft)

PS: Ich hab’s dieses Jahr glaub ich nur 3x auf ein Ohrbooten-Konzert geschafft. ^^

… und ich war mehr als gut bedient. Meine Güte. Laut Rechner hatte ich knapp über 0,3 Promille. War trotzdem ein extrem spassiger Abend. Besser gesagt, eine spassige Nacht.

That’s the question leading through the movie Deep Blue Sea, starring Samuel Jackson, LL Cool J and Stellan Skarsgard. And I have to admit, it was quite entertaining. I’m usually not much into those movies, but Sharks and Aliens are an exception. By the way, I’m still waiting for a good Alien Vs Predator adaption. (Just like in the comics, guys. Please, someone in Hollywood: Read the comics and make it right.)

Anyway, Deep Blue Sea was fun to watch, although Saffron Burrows’s performance was sort of empty.

Big Fish is such a wonderful film. And “Twice The Love” - the Siamese Twins’ Song - is such a wonderful song. It came to my mind out of nowhere and has seemingly decided to stay there for several days.
The only drawback: it’s a very short song. But so is this entry.

PS: Ok, let’s make it a bit longer. Here are the lyrics:

“Sometimes a girl can feel so all alone
Without a lover to call her own.
Sometimes it’s so bad,
she wants to explode.
Grab the first man she sees and tear off all of his clothes.
But she won’t.
No, she can’t.
She needs a special different unusual man.
Because that girl,
Who looks like me
She has wants, but she has needs.
Any of you got needs?
I’ve had twice the adventure
I’ve cried double the tears.
I’ve had two times the bad times in only half the years.
And now I need a man
With twice the will to live
I need twice the men
Cause baby, I’ve got twice the love to give
I need twice the men
Cause baby, I’ve got twice the love to give”

I especially like this part:

I’ve had twice the adventure
I’ve cried double the tears.
I’ve had two times the bad times in only half the years.
