    What a weird year this has been...busy as heck too ^^ Oh well, bye bye 18, 
    I am 19 now
     
    But 19 years is still too short a time to live among such admirable and excellent Hobbits!
    I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

    So, a bit of a 180° turn from yesterdays good mood.
     
    Not because the party turned out to be bad, it was quite awesome, no, but because I woke up this morning just to sprint to the bathroom, go back to bed, sprint to the bathroom again 30 min later, go back to my room, and suddenly realize if I don't turn back and head to the bathroom again I'll empty my stomach over the keyboard...
     
    So I've spent the last 12 hours either in the bathroom or in front of the TV...
     
    Fever and dizzyness included.

    Today was my graduation ceremony, with music to go on stage and all. Everyone of us got a rose from the youngest kids, just like we handed the youngest kids sunflowers last year. 
    And tonight it's PROM!
     
    Have a really good day everbody, I'll go back to feeling like the king of the world now

    No, I am not going to do a debate on global warming here, but a subjective impression:
     
    Today was the first time in my life that the weather reported tornado-warnings. Not in my Area, but still.
     
    Of course this is not the first time we had Tornados in Germany, but they a so rare that this report actually to me seems like an increase...

    If the new TF movie is as good as the song I am hooked  
    I'm looking forward to District 9 too ^^ (Niels Blokamp will direct it. And if that works out I bet they'll finally get on with the Halo-movie as well)

    Sooo, as some of you know I made an entry about Crysis, the most awesome FPS for PC out there (and a piece from german software-smithies ), around last year.
     
    I've played through the game several times now, but something went missing after a while. Though I played on 1280x800, I couldn't put in any better shaders or shadows, not to mention particles and rendered light.
    But after some experiments I gave up...until I got Asassins Creed. Now, there I played on 1280x800 as well but had the same problem: No FX possible. Until I reduced the resolution to 1024x768 and lo and behold:There came the effects.
     
    Which gave me the idea to try the same with Crysis/Crysis Warhead). And it worked. My resolution for those two currently is 800x600, but who cares when the game looks freaking awesome because of it!

    Ok, this is in the music section, BUT, for a different reason then to share lyrics.
     
    I have an investment dilemma...well, that 's the only word coming close to the situation. A friend from the orchestra offered me that I can buy his old trumpet for 1000 bucks. it's just 1 1/2 years old, so pretty new, top condition, in matte gold.
     
    Against it I have to pit my old trumpet of the same brand, 10 years old, in shiny gold.
     
    So, do I stick with my old one or buy the new horn?

    EDIT: Ok. After playing it for a while and testing it, I decided it wasn't worth paying the 1k for it.
    Now I still have my dear old Sella ^^ She's still shiny after all
