@abendstern:
Since I can't reply directly to your comments (I'd wish this feature was like LJ), I'll address them all here:
Again, thank you for your kind comments, they really make my day!
About the Rmmstein piece: I did read somewhere that they were more left-wing, but at the same time, not really interested in politics, which is fine by me. Though I think it's great when singers sometimes express their political/social feelings through music, I don't want another Bono on the scene (one is more than enough!) A shoemaker should make shoes; if a shoemaker wants to also make furniture, that's cool, but it shouldn't bother us if he only makes shoes.
Ah, yes. Boy, people just like yelling nazi at everything these days...thinking like that is like closing oneself to the possibility of learning about other cultures, which only alienates you from the world. Which is particularly sad if we consider how global our communications are nowadays...
My own grandfather was imprisoned for 2 years in Mauthausen and he never held a grudge against anybody from Germany. He thought those who did wrong already got what they deserved, so why keep bothering.

I'd hope I could generate some interest in DTH so they can come, but it would't be too hard to go to Argentina to see them either. Several people do that all the time, cos Argentina hosts many concerts every year.
It's great that you've seen them! (also, your parents are awesome! I think the last thing my parents really liked was Sinatra, lol I dunno, really, but it would be hard to get them into punk music at this point...)

About Again:
well, like I said, many people (hardcore gamers, specially) ended up hating the game, so buyer beware. I'm probably the odd one out here. However, if you still really wanna try it, I hope you'll enjoy it (let me know!)

About the Twilight post:
well, what can I add. Seems like it's all been said (thanks for the link, btw!)
I do take issue with these type of books, because they're just so...they're nothing but sexual fantasies in print, for everyone to read. Nothing better than your typical Harlequin novel. And I don't mind those, what bothers me is how much they overinflated this one, turning it into a cash cow with a series of novels and movies...

Haha, that photo...what's interesting is that in the excerpts I read there was a description of the woman in the story (Gabrielle); she was a 40-something blonde witch with superpowers. Of course. Just like Meyers did with Bella: it's her, but improved and perfect. A Mary Sue. Wwhich is what prompted me to say "this is a fuckin' fanfic too!!!" and then be angry at my laptop...
If you want, I can send you the link with all the excerpts from the book. It's in french, though, but with a translator you can sorta get the idea of what the text reads (but are you sure you want to? It seriously traumatized me; to this point I'm still thinking there's so much evil in the world....)
