New transgenic elves

The Nazgul has updated her site: more nekkid pirates!

One of these days, she will get an LJ. She keeps saying so...

Arghh!! Unplugged!

T-Offline's DSL network has gone dead for much of Munich since the early morning today. I would be offline, only I kept my old modem cable around and am now hooked up by a dialup connection. But arghh!! No leaving everything open to wait for someone to react on discworld_rpg. Back to the bad old days of Pay Per Minute. I hope they fix it soon; I feel so truncated.

The good news: Falk the Metropolitan sold me his old DVD player and VCR combination gadget (old => 6 months). There is officially room for new DVDs and CDs now. And the thinggy can deal with almost anything (including burnies with mp3s), copy DVDs on video if it feels like it (i.e. no copy protection), plays Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham in colour (which my old one didn't on account of some technical weirdness in that DVD from India), and does everything apart from actually making coffee. It won't copy Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, though, on account of said copy protection, which is regrettable, as my cousin Dorothea so loves that movie, and I had promised her to try make a copy.

And the DVD of "The Pianist" duly arrived today. Now I can watch the admirable Mr Brody being Oscar-worthy. Strange, I only got my hands on two so deeply serious movies containing him, when what I first noticed about Adrien Brody on Oscar night was how hilarious he was...

Dogs are weird

Remember Q, the Metropolitans' dog? I did post pictures of him at some stage.

Edit: When I just posted this, Deepest Sender informed this is my 100th post on my LJ. 100 posts, and what do I use the jubilee for? A funny quiz? No. A happy squee about my newest enthusiasm (how hilarious ottochriek is even when the occasion is serious, for example)? No. Some deep insight or new flotsam from the memepool? No. At least some irate rant about technical idiocy? No. Embarrassing stuff about private dog anatomy.-
