rockfotze: (die beste band der welt)
Oh no, oh no, ohhhh nooooooo!

I haven't been as...obsessed with Die Ärzte these days as I usually am. Not because I don't love them more than anything in the world. But because it's actually really hard being a fan when you have NO ONE to be a fan with. So I listen to them on my mp3 player and secretly love them heaps and heaps but I don't get carried away by looking them up constantly or discussing them all the time. It's pretty sad but it's how it has to be in order for me to cope.

Wow that's really quite pathetic. OK, my point...

I was talking to a mate from work about "Miss Rap Supreme" (my current favourite TV show) and he made a joke about Germany not having a hip hop scene. I laughed and educated him on how wrong he was and sent him some links to Fettes Brot videos. And then I got onto the subject of Die Ärzte and showed him the clip for "Junge" and "Männer sind Schweine" and he commented on good tthe songs themselves were, let alone the clips. So I showed him a few more and he was really impressed.

And then those familiar surges of love and adoration came flooding back. I'm lending him some of their albums tomorrow and promised to show him my other ärzte merch. And now I can't stop thinking about them and feeling awful for neglecting them for so long!

So, I need help with getting the couple of CDs I was too slack to order sooner. Does anyone wnat to get them for me (I'll pay them back) since I can't be arsed trying to deal with amazon.de or wherever else. UGH DAMN THEM TO HELL!
rockfotze: (Johnny Depp - Ed Wood in colour)
This weekend was excitement plus! I decided to spend it at mum's as I'd been feeling really sick all week. Tummy aches, a sore back and other little hurts. The excitement started Friday night after work, as I was getting ready to go to mum's. I got a call from my workmate who was oncall as one of our clients had their (brand new) system die and they were without music. Since this venue was near where mum lives, and they begged me, I grabbed my personal Nightlife system and leapt into my car and headed off. Only to have a car crash 10 minutes later (right near work too, of all places). The worst part was, as I hit the car in front of me I'm at fault. No one was hurt at all, though the girl I hit almost had a panic attack. Her car is quite new and therefore half made of plastic so hardly any damage. My poor little steel tank copped some damage to the front but nothing too serious. My dad managed to fix most of it on the weekend. But still, totally uncool and while I constantly reminded my work mates of the lengths I go to for this company, I don't actually think it was really appreciated :( I COULD HAVE DIED! OR BEEN HURT! BAH! Needless to say I left the service call to the following morning.

Saturday mum and I went to West End for shopping and a general adventure into a part of the City we've never really been to properly. Oh god it was so good. Op-shops, cheap fashion and TRASH VIDEO! We spent ages in there, talking to Andrew, the guy who owns it and is a bit of a personality for his TV show "Schlock Treatment" in Brisbane. I bought some Ed Wood DVDs, death to Smoochy on VHS and mum bought some classic films as well. It was just so exciting, and I think he was shocked two attractive women were so into the world of schlock film.

After that we had cake and chai tea and then picked up my friend's puppy as I sort of volunteered to look after it. Poor mum is going to be the one looking after dear little Pixie as there's no way she could stay in my flat. But she's so damn cute, full of energy (and poop) so I think mum will forgive me eventually :D Spent Sunday fixing my car with dad, cleaning mum's and playing with the puppy. Such a great weekend despite the poor start I had!
