about that Blind Guardian DVD thingy.....that was fun. Here's what I've been posting last night in a news group I'm in:
Blind Guardian are about to release their live DVD this upcoming monday and they decided to show the DVD in a few selected cinemas across Germany before the release. So that's where I went tonight. I was really curious how it would turn out and I must say it was mostly extremely funny
People were standing in line, waiting to get into the hall and started singing various BG songs.....which resulted in a rather small girl from the cinema staff with a very high and thin voice shouting at them to shut up - for there were also other customers there *rolleyes*.....damn, they were just singing!
3/4 of the band were there too and when we were finally let in everybody really rushed to get a good seat (no reserved seats in this case, dunno why). I was kinda smashed at the wall but survived, hehe. It felt like I was attending the gig of a boyband though ;o
After the first two songs the show was interrupted and Hansi (BG singer, for those who don't know) promised it would get louder (sound had def. not been loud enough at this point) and also kindly asked us to behave just like it was a gig. So everybody started singing along, clapping their hands and some even stood at the sides and started to headbang. It was odd!! When "The Bard's Song" came, everybody got up and so we stood there, again singing and clapping, watching the screen......it was really strange. The same happened for the final song. So, that was even a weird experience for us metal-spoilt (is that a word?) Germans.

I kid you not, I went out into the kitchen to make lunch and what should greet me? FIVE ants! Running around, bold as you please on MY kitchen table! >:v[ I am not that messy, there wasn't any ant food about, I don't know what their problem was.
So you know happened next don't you? SMUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a more positive note, I painted two pictures and uploaded them to my site today. :}

hehe there are usually a lot of ants in my house in summer, I think you would be scared to death to live here WR
Hello everyone. :]
I've been up to gardening and painting, so there's a new one at my website. :} WInters site
I'll be doing a lot more gardening soon when I take Mom out to buy her birthday present, she wants flowers... which means gardening for me, lol. I don't mind, not when I get to look at the flowers afterwards.

:Smug: that's because there is absolutely NO promotion for anything metal out here...it is truly ridiculous being as there are so many metal fans out here...I am hoping someday soon the promotors will catch on to this and finally get something done so we can have more festivals like the lucky European people!
Anyway, my day was busy as always, nothing new there. My office is a contant shuffle of papers, files and whatnot oyyyyyy
Lol, I do have a cat but she's more interested in batting at them with her paw then actually killing them...

cat's can be THAT lazy at times...but then again ants if I remember correctly are "spicy"? (not that I would know, cause I don't eat ants...hahaha!)what am I up to today? Well, the usual..it's now 5:30am here in LA so I am enjoying a huge cup of "devil's brew" AKA heavily laddened coffee w/creamer and a bit of irish cream...along with some cigarettes...later on off to work and when I get home tonight I guess catch up on emails and have my usual workout

Ya'll don't eat ants in LA ? Chocolate covered ants are a delicacy in Alabama. Next you will tell me you don't eat pork skins, grits and collard greens there either.
Just joking about the ants of course. Never ate one at least on purpose nor have I seen them covered in chocolate. Then again, I like spicy food though. You would think fire ants would be the spicier variety though. They wouldn't be hard to find. I probably have two or three mounds in the yard as we speak. Save a few dollars on the grocery bill. Today it's same ol' same ol'. Birth, school, work, death. I am in the work stage now. We are so busy at work, I feel like I do nothing but work.
Gots to feed the family though. Bryant

I have a bottle of Champagne chilling for tonight.
My wife and I are going to jam a few tunes tonight.
She'll play bass while I crush some METAL guitar.

Sounds nice. It's 1:50 AM Sat morning. The wife is asleep. I am working again for my sixth straight day today.... have to be there at 3:00 PM. I work so much my guitar strings on my guitar are now collector's items.
Just wait till I get the wife out of RN school though. I will take a small pay cut and get one of those little daytime jobs where I get to bitch at people for not doing stuff I know nothing about like the people I work for.

eat ants? Humm isn't it a delicacy of some sort in some countries to eat chocolate covered insects? even though I am a rabid chocolate lover I think I would pass on those 
Actually, talking about Southern food I've never really had the chance to sample any...I am a very picky eater, but I'll put it on my "to do" list.Today is a Sunday, hence I believe it will be a very relaxed day...this weekend I went shopping, comitted my usual CD crimes and got some cool metal pants...dark pink mind you!
What am I up to?
Waking up, lol.
For some reason I'm having trouble with that his morning. :rubs eyes:

Southern food is great. It's unhealthy (though there are lots of veggies to help balance that out) as much of it is deep fried, but I think if everyone tried Southern food, there would be several dishes they loved from it. Do ya'll eat deep fried pork chops over there in California ?
In all seriousness, if you like German food, you probably will like Southern food. Though they are from two different countries, German food (Americanized German food from German restaurants in the US) is actually the closest thing I can think of to compare to Southern food. What the Germans call "Sauerbraten" is "roast beef and gravy" to us and Schnitzel is cubed steak but The Germans screwed up and used pork instead. We also grow those good ole' tamaters (tomatos) and make lots of sweets as well.

Sweetie, I might join it one day. It sounds fun, but I am working six days a week on second shift and I can't make it. One day, you will get to see the wrath of Kirk Arrington War Cleric though (the only D&D charactor I have named after a real person.)
