Weekly Update

I can see the end of the horror weeks. It's just one week left but this one is the hardest. I have to write three more exams next week and then it will finally be over.

So now it's time to think about books again. I have to be prepared. So I decided I will start making a list of my most wanted books

.

These are top priority. I'm not sure if I will order them all together. Perhaps I shouldn't be so greedy. But I think I'm a little addicted and can't stop myself any longer.


I read "Talk me Down" by Victoria Dahl this week and I have to say it was one of the best book I read this year. I had to learn but I just wasn't able to stop. I read it in, I think, 20 hours tops. So if you haven't read her so far start now. A really perfect book.(click on cover to buy!!)
It's the first book in the Tumble Creek Series and so Start me Up went straight into my "I need this book now or better yesterday" pile.


I also read "City of Souls" by Vicki Pettersson and loved it. I will write a review after my last exam so I won't talk about it now.

As mentioned before I'm still struck in this Star Trek Marathon and we finally reached Voyager a few weeks ago. And the first season was great but now the only think I can think of is: "When will they finally find the Borg?" I love the character Seven of Nine and she will finally be part of the series in just 7 episodes. I can't wait. This will bring back my interest, I hope.

So now I don't know what to talk about, so I think it's time to reward us for all the things we achieved this week:
First you can take a look at wonderful David Boreanaz post from Rowena @CoFFee HouSe BanTeR! Yummy!

And now something sweet:

So I hope your week was good as well and I hope you'll all enjoy a great weekend!!!

Geek Generation 2.0 & geeky Needlework

Found a nice article about modern Star Trek fans and what to do to make your kids real Trekkies:
http://bit.ly/16m9SE

It's total hilarious and I have to admit some things on that list have found a way in my life(even without kids). I'm just sorry that I don't drive so much :-(

I also found two very compassionate fan declarations for Brent Spiner and LeVar Burton.


This I found at:

There are also a few other pictures of comparable beautiful pieces of art.

For my feminine site I have to say I'm a little jealous that the only thing I could manage with a needle is attaching a button and that only for a short time.

Star Trek without Klingons?

We started at home some kind of never ending Star Trek watching and I know who's fault that is: mine. I just said absently to my boyfriend: "I can't remember what happend in the last episode of Voyager." So that was stated and nothing could save me. I thought in the beginning we just watch all seasons of Voyager but I was wrong.

We started at the beginning - Star Trek - The Original Series. After I survived all episodes, with some muttering of "Seventy!!!" when there was some Lieutenant in a mini, we continued with Picard & Co. This I enjoyed so much more because it's waking memories of family TV-sessions in my youth. I especially loved the episodes with Q or Data as Sherlock Holmes.

So we are currently watching DS9 and I have to say the first three seasons aren't so great. But now that we started season 3 I understand why:

Star Trek without Klingons is not the same.

This species is so charismatic and lovable - I can totally understand why they put Worf back in the story.

So I have to wait a only a little bit longer to see the last episode of Voyager.
Yeah, I know. I should just take the DVD and watch it but cheating is so not my style.
