I haven't seen the Librarians yet, I started, but then thought I should maybe watch The Librarian movies first.
I did notice however that soldiers in the opening shot are in Berlin, but the soldiers (the ones that aren't American) are wearing Belgian flag patches.

I've just been away from LJ for a while.
One of the things that has been keeping me away has been roller derby.
For those that don't want to read the whole wikipedia page there is also a crash course in roller derby on YouTube.

There's a lot of training, but also commitee meetings, helping out at scrimmages and bouts, wich I will do again tomorrow in Hamburg, where my team Amsterdam Derby Dames will play against the Hamburg Harbor Girls.

I will be a Non Skating Offcial at the bout. No skating for me yet, because I first have to pass the minimal skills test,
which is April 14th. *crosses fingers that I will pass*

This is it for now. There will be more derby posts later. I have to get up early tomorrow, meet up with the rest of the team (at 8 am) get to Hamburg, have a great time at the bout and after party. And then go back again on sunday.

If you're near Hamburg and don't have plans tomorrow night, come to the bout. It will be awesome :)

PS. The name/theme of the bout is: Veilchen Auf die Tulpen. Is there someone German who can tell me what that means?

Almost done with the updates.

I know, because the Sound of Music is playing on tv now.
For as long as I can remember they play this movie this time of year.
I'm still not sure why since I don't think it's a real chritmassy movie.

I've also posted all of my christmas cards, and received an really awesome one from berlinghoff79 :)

Today was also our christmas party at work (we still had to work too) and I baked cupcakes to sell for Serious Request. There were till some cupcakes left when I finished work, so won't know what the total is until tomorrow.

The stories at sga_santa  are being posted, so if you're in need of some good stories to read, go there (and comment :) )

And what's Christmas without a tree.
There are a few (fake) trees at our office, but his is a picture of the smallest one. :)

A time for snow and Christmas trees and decorations and.... Sending Christmas cards, something I actually plan to do this year.
Although there is a chance it will be a New Years card by the time they arrive.

Anyway, what I"m trying to say is:
If you would like to receive a Christmas/New Years card, please leave your name and address in a comment (they have been set to screened)

Adding subtitles to an opeara song sucks when you don't read or understand Italian and the people singing the duet don't stick to the lyrics.

Paul the Octopus for predicting all matches correctly.


I wonder if I can get him to predict the lotterynumbers for me. *g*

Spain is now the world champions. Congrats to them.

And we're number 2. So congrats to us as well :)

That was it for the World Cup 2010.
Next up: Euro 2012.

smuffster  Gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag :)
I hope you had a great day.
Lots of love and huggles (and some flowers from Rodney)

*Does a happy dance*

We made it to the finale of the world cup for the first time since 1978.

*dances some more*

Only 7 more days and I'll be off to the UK.
First a 2 day visit with shiny_starlight  and then I'm meeting up with friends to go to the LFACC. :) (The tickets arrived today)
