Lovely to see you again, your hair looks fabulous today!
What happened after we last saw each other? Alexander McQueen died and now everyone loves him. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Also: I think I found the dress I'm going to wear at my sister's wedding.
New York Fashion Week happened without Serena or Ugly Betty interrupting, as did the Golden Globes (Thanks for the tweets and photos, Amanda), the BAFTAs (Oh Kristen, you need a Fitball and some self-confidence enhancers ASAP), and Anna Howard Shaw Day (Did I tell you the story of last Valentine`s Day? Did I? Vietnamese waiters certainly watch too much porn...).
I also saw some weird exhibitions (Leo circa 1996 is a cute girl) and endured a ton of movies, in order to poison my environment with snarky comments if one of them should win an Oscar. Here is my preliminary commentary:
Besides watching movies, I walked on sandy beaches, not being the one getting sexually molested. Jealous? Yeah, me too.
9) (sorry, this only makes sense in German) Letztes Monat im H&M während des Abverkaufs. Accessoireabteilung Erdgeschoss Mariahilferstraße. Neben mir zwei Mädels, vielleicht 16, nasales Gymnasiastenwienerisch: "Schau her", sagt die eine und zeigt auf die Geldtaschen vor ihr in der Schütte, "die gibts in blau, gold und Schlange!".

I also saw some weird exhibitions (Leo circa 1996 is a cute girl) and endured a ton of movies, in order to poison my environment with snarky comments if one of them should win an Oscar. Here is my preliminary commentary:
- I really really HATE Avatar. I said it. It's out there. Now deal with it.
- The Hurt Locker: Bah! Really?
- Up in the Air: OK, but not Oscar-worthy. Love his tipps on airport behavior though (At security control stand in line behind single Asian men)
- Julie & Julia: Category "Movie I could watch with my mom without cringing", therefore disqualified.
- Precious: A little bit too much, eh? I am a sucker for "good teacher in bad neighbourhood"- stories though...
- Inglorious Basterds (did I write this right/wrong?): Yes please. Thank you. This one.
- Bright Star: Nice gardens and costumes, but I'm not so much into poetry, sorry. Great camera though.
- Young Victoria: German accents are really popular this year, aren't they? Interesting dresses, but there are better perios dramas out there.
- The White Ribbon: Not as unsettling as Haneke's other movies, but it still makes you feel bad. Great for a over-analyzing and super-deep historical discussions afterwards.

8) This is how I want to be when I'm 50
7) Roller Derby is brutal. I really want to visit Austin, Texas. They have boots there.
6) DIY stencil shirts are fun!
(click here for more info on mechanical ducks from the 18th c, by far my third favorite century)
(click here for more info on cry-babies, by far my favorite babies)
5) Maybe, in a parallel universe, I could under certain limited circumstances eventually not hate Lady Gaga. And maybe I quite like one of her stylists, Nicola Formichetti.
4) Don't ever go to a Pilates session with a friend. Trust me when I say this, but you should go there alone, without anyone giggling next to you and reminding you of the ridiculesness of it all. Strenghten your POWERHOUSE! If I only knew what a powerhouse was things would be much easier.
3) Many fights will never end, but sometimes their focus shifts. Girl, Interrupted: from Winona versus Angie to Brittany. Sweets: from licorice (no alcohol) versus marzipan (no alcohol) to Martini Bianco (alcohol). Movies: from Miss Undercover versus Secretary to Mean Girls. TV Series: from How I met your mother (funny) versus Californication (sex) to Secret Diary of a Call Girl (funny sex).

2) The writers of Gossip Girl somehow got hold on my NANOWRIMO novel and stole some major storylines. Or was it the other way round?
1) And because I'm grumpy since it started snowing again I won't spare you this map about sea-level rise. I already did the work for you, so here are the answers:

1) And because I'm grumpy since it started snowing again I won't spare you this map about sea-level rise. I already did the work for you, so here are the answers:
- sea-level rises for 1m: really not good for the Netherlands and Belgium
- sea-level rises for 4m: Goodbye Carnaval in Cadiz! Goodbye Brighton Pier again!
- sea-level riese for 8m: POTUS has to find new summer residence, MIT lives on in the Internet (What a sucker: Harvard will still stand arrogantly!)
- sea-level rises for 14m: Thompkins Square Park Boat Rental.
