It's really strange to me to think that Heath Ledger is dead.
Especially because I was just talking about him with my friends this morning.
It's all very surreal, at the moment.

And then...The Tokio Hotel concerts have been wreaking havoc on my mind. Various dramatrons in the fandom are making this more stressful than it should be. Here are the dates, more info (including ticket info) found here.

February 9 - Montreal, Canada - SOLD OUT
February 10 - Toronto, Canada - SOLD OUT
February 15 - Hollywood, California - Tickets on sale now
February 16 - Anaheim, California - Tickets not on sale yet
February 18 - New York, New York - Tickets on sale Monday

That is their whirlwind tour of North America! Hanna and I are going to the Anaheim show, by hook or by crook, but logistics and getting tickets are driving me bonkers. As is the idea of actually getting to see the band in concert. In a heckuva small venue, too. Eeep!

Reading Keith's FF blog post reminds me to get my shizzle together and re-organize my life. That is long over-due (For me it is always "As soon as this or that is over" but there's always another thing) and it is driving me crazy. It seems like I can never concentrate on doing important things, whether it is school work or even things I like, like emailing people back. It's awful.

But guess what? I dyed my hair last weekend! This is what it looks like, now: eins, zwei (because Vox is being snotty). Purple replaces the blonde bits tomorrow. It is quite strange getting used to having black hair again, as it's been almost a year, but I think I like it.

::yawn::

I'm going to go snuggle in my bettkin, it's been awful cold lately.

Much love,
Lotte

Yep, I told you I'd write it!

My Wednesay was your typical, not too exciting Wednesday, up until 2pm, when I, armed with a max pack (large popcorn w/ butter and brewer's yeast, large diet coke, m&ms and milk duds) and accompanied by Spencer, Aubrey and Hanna, finally saw SUPERBAD! I have been dying to see this movie for ages, but haven't gotten the chance, a torture that was made all the more difficult to handle as anyone who is anyone saw it in August.

Sometimes, when you look forward to something for a long time, it disappoints you. SuperBad did not do that. Holy cannoli! It lived up to and surpassed the hype in a big way! But, then, when you have Michael Cera and Seth Rogan (my two favourite Canadians...and on the Top 5 Hottest Guys list - guess the other 3) in it (and writing, in Seth's case), how could you not? If you are often offended by teenagers this movie might not be your cuppa, but if you are a normal person who has not seen it yet, do so immediately. It will change your life. (And check out Knocked Up on DVD as well, if you haven't already. Seth R. + Katherine Heigl = Genius!)

When I got home, I finished Blankets, which I had been reading all day, through as many classes and breaks as possible. Oh Em Golly. That is so hardcore an amazing book! If you haven't already, read it. It is definitely being added to my list of the Best Books of my Lifetime (that is, books after 1989 that I adore. There are a lot of books that I love but sometimes it's deeper and more connection than that). Thank you so much, Siobhan, for bringing two amazing books into my life. Speaking of ALFA, I'm getting tired of lending it out because I want to read it again.

Something else was waiting for me at home, besides the end of Blankets. A genius box from Keith @ Fred Flare! Um, Hello, I love you! Inside was the crazy awesome Good Life Mix that K sent out to peeps that shot him a B-day Mix (like me!). I put it on the stereo immediately, and it totes started rocking the house. Thanks for the tunes, Keith! I should post the playlist of the mix I sent him...it is a pretty neat selection, I have to say!

The other thing that was in the box ('twas a very large box) was a pair of roller skates! (I wish I could find the BFF post about it, Jen looks TOTES cute in them!). Now, I knew that they were there, but still, opening the box and actually seeing them was definitely a thrill! It was even better when they fit (buying shoe-type things online is sketchy). I immediately put them on, of course, and went rollerskating about my house all day. I mean that literally, I didn't take them off until I went to bed, after midnight. It's somewhat surprising that I even took them off then, as my mom pointed out, I'm just the type to sleep in my skates. Just because I'm awesome... Anyway, I haven't tried them out anywhere that is not my house yet, but I did pretty well on them there. It helps that my house is mostly carpeted, though going up/down stairs was somewhat harrowing. Heh heh heh. I'll try to get a pic of me 'n' my skates today, and get that posted up. Because they made my life.

The last thing (yes, this is a long list) that was in there was another CD: Thinking of You, by The Kung Fu Girls. Now, the KFGs had been on the Fred Flare Blog recently, but I was so buried in homework and whatnot that I didn't really have a chance to check them out. Boy am I glad that K sent me the CD! I listened to it at least 3 times all the way through that night. They are super-cute and super talented sisters NYC who play poppy rock, kind of like a better, more B.A., chick version of the Plain White T's. ((I found out, on further investigation, that they share a producer with the T's, and are going to go on tour with them!)) I'm going to try to get one of the songs up here - my favourite is "Dance With Me" - but you can check the tunes out at their MySpace page for now, and friend them if you have the 'Space.

It's safe to say that they are my new favourite (non-TH) band!

Kfg cd!
