When the actor doesn't fit into the role

Do you know that feeling, when you're watching a movie and it seems a bit weird, but you can't really figure out why? It happened to me yesterday, when I was watching Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time. Let me explain.

There was this guy, Tus, the king's son and a great, brave warrior. That's him in the middle:

But he seemed a bit weird to me. And why? Somewhere in the middle of the movie I realized that the same actor, Richard Coyle, was starring as Jeff in Coupling. And Jeff was a complete weirdo! It was hard to imagine him as a warrior, I tell you.

Do you want to know why? Click HERE and take a look at this video. And by the way, I totally recommend Coupling, it's the funniest and one of my favourite series.

Has it ever happened to you? Do you remember certain actors from some certain movie / series and you don't really see him / her as someone else? :)

I'm opening a new business.

It's called

PreExamInsomnia inc.

And I'm taking all the important positions in it, because I'm THE pro here. :P

Good night! (hopefully ... )

just in case

I have already posted this prayer on FB, but to be sure:

DEAR STUDY GODS!

Please make morphology, phraseology and lexicology easier for me.
Make it go into my brain and stay there.
At least for a week.

Thank you.

P.S.: Dear procrastinators' patrons. Please help us stay away from procrastinating.

Please ... ?

Thank you again.

Home made bread

Yaaay! I baked my first loaf of bread ever! :) It always seemed so impossible when my brother was doing it (sorry, bro :D ) so I didn't even want to try, but E. convinced me to do it after all. So I found a very simple recipe yesterday, bought the ingredients (and a new plastic bowl, that's a very important factor!) and gave it a try. And guess what! It turned out great!

This is what it looked like before:

look, it's starting to rise!

And here it is: my very first loaf of bread. :)

I call it a succes. And now I'm going to have dinner. Bon apetit. :)

Study break

While I'm dying of a disease called "study depression" I said I HAVE to do something to cheer me up, to entertain me. And since my blog is dying of collateral damage of my study depression, I said I should do it here! So here you go, my favorite trio of HOT GUYS!

Please keep in mind my all time personal favourite is Johnny Depp, but this trio is from my favorite show: Grey's Anatomy. Feast your eyes, girls ... :P

Patrick Dempsey a.k.a. dr. Shepherd a.k.a. McDreamy:

Eric Dane a.k.a. dr. Sloan a.k.a. McSteamy:

Justin Chambers a.k.a. dr. Alex Karev

How do you like it? :)

Must love dogs.

Yeah, you certainly have to love them. Except when they're causing problems.

Our dog is very cute and funny and everything.

Like that, see? But today she made us all worry about her. We took a walk, a short swim in the river (just her, not me) and then came back home. I left her on the balcony because she was all wet and I went doing my stuff.

Suddenly I heard her coughing and making some weird noises. I let her out and she couldn't stop sneezing, she kept rubbing her nose and after a few minutes like that we were ready to take her to the vet.

My boyfriend then noticed she had something inside her nose. He got tweezers and guess what he pulled out - a 20 cm long grass leaf! Can you imagine having that in YOUR nose?

Pets are a lot of fun, but sometimes a lot of worries, too. :) But it's all because we love them. :P

A date

I have a date on Friday!


Today I got an SMS from this cute guy. He asked me out to some concert. He's really cool and I relly like the band that's playing so of course I said yes. I have a boyfriend, We've been together for more than 2 years, but that's no problem. He's the cool guy who asked me out anyway. :)


The whole thing reminded me of our early teens, when we did all the "courtship" through texting, MSN, even friends ... :) It was crazy when the phone beeped. Is it him? What if it's him? And the heart started beating hard, hands were shaky and so on and on.


And if it was him, the problem was even bigger. What to write back? I remember myself writing one single SMS for more than an hour! It was all about strategy. :)

I can't even imagine how people did all of that before the "cell phone era". :))
