...and I've been reading a couple of threads on IMDB.com in anticipation. Especially this one is a wonderful read; after reading the books this year I'm pretty worried about the book-adaptation. :s It's a comfort to know that I'm not the only one. What I am looking forward to after seeing the sneak peak trailer is Amanda Tappings three-second cameo as Elfarran ;) Then again.. The effects pretty much look like crap. It's like Harry Potter and the Graveling of Shadow ;) Anyway, you know how when you taste something that doesn't taste good, other people will actually try it on your recommendation of how gross it is? In the aforelinked-to thread, IMDB user james-337 pointed out a similar 'typically human' phenomenon: "You know, I frequently wonder why on earth we all seem to look forward to and watch adaptations of our favourite books. We're never happy with them. They never match our perceptions or live up to our expectations of them. And yet still we get excited when it's announced that someone's going to film one of them. We must be complete masochists." So, my gentle readers: what book would you like to see a big or smallscreen adaptation being made of? ;)

[19:54] <+Anneke> WOW @ Lost [19:54] <@Siri> \o/ [19:55] <+Anneke> I was like, huh, and then I was like, wha? and then I was like, WOW! ;) it's getting better and better. And now I'm itchin' for more, but no more episodes this year! Alas! :( In other news, not much to write about lately. I didn't write about my dinner with Hein and Ingeborg two weeks ago, and it's pretty pointless to do that now. ;) I'll just end with this new ( meme ) Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence Every part of your life has a beat, and you're often tapping your fingers or toes. You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time. You are probably a gifted musician of some sort - even if you haven't realized it. Also a music lover, you tend to appreciate artists of all kinds. You would make a great musician, disc jockey, singer, or composer. What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

:D So, last week, I was mindin' my own business, checkin' my hotmail, when I got an e-mail from a friend with news that soon made for a frantic discussion on the dutch Buffy-NL mailinglist: Our Buffy-heroine SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR would come to the Netherlands to attend the Dutch première of her new film The Grudge. Naturally a delegation of our mailinglist had to be there as well! ( So, what was it like? :D ) I *really* hadn't expected to see James Marsters and Sarah Michelle Gellar this year - or ever. Makes you wonder what could happen in 2005. :D

Mothers, lock up your daughters 2004-11-29 03:09 Mood: shocked
So, while the news probably didn't reach many beyond the LJ-community (and the regional newspapers), probably most livejournallers have heard by now of the 16-year old chick that supposedly hired two 24-yearolds to kidnap and kill her 48-year old mother. :s The last thing smchyrocky wrote in her journal before being arrested, "Just to let everyone know, my mother was murdered." While some of the comments made in the thread belonging to that last post are frightening, what frightens me most is the closing statement in Beth Bragg's column on the subject: "Some may see red flags when they read a poem called "Ode to Suicide.'' Some may be alarmed by information in her user profile, in which she lists her hometown as "Hell, Alaska, United States,'' or by the name of her journal, which is "My Crappy Life -- The Inside Look of an Insane Life.'' But many of the thoughts and words found in Waterman's journal aren't terribly different from the thoughts and words of other teenagers. Until you read that final entry." To sum it up: Criminals: they're all around us! *spooky music* Anyway, it makes me wonder how many people act like nothing is going on online, while in fact a whole damn lot is happening to them IRL. We all know about the livejournal dramaqueens who try to get as much attention as possible by writing about horrible things (suicide threats, cutting). But I just have to say, the total opposite of the dramaqueentype scares me just as much. :/ (And no, I am not making any statements about when someone is a drama-queen or not. If anyone on my livejournal friendslist is offended, please rest assured that I do not believe I have aforementioned type of dramaqueen on my friendslist. *hugs*)

You are Anneke, "listmom" to this lovely bunch of people, and proud of it too. You love your friends and hate to see people sometimes not getting along. What BNL character are you? ( dumb quiz result )
