Ankantoiel, the Love Fool

Valentine’s Day is over. I never was one that liked that day so Alex and I decided to create our own day of love two days after, on Monday. It was a very relaxing and nice evening with dinner and afterwards a great film in the cinema. Okay, the start of the evening was a bit chaotic. It was quite impossible to find a restaurant that was open, but finally we just dinned in the Krahvogel. The movie “The International” was also very impressive – a movie that is based on a real story.

Before I forget, Alex gave me a lovely pillow to our special day of love. I love my new Finder-pillow made by throwboy.com. They made a limited number what makes it also very special.

LOVE U, my dear!

I started this post while watching the opening of the Wiener Opernball. Alex was with a friend, so I had the possibility to watch that strange event. It’s every year a spectacle in Austria and you can see it on different TV stations (and there are usually always demonstrations against it). Hmmm, nevertheless the commentatores are getting worse as the female person that accompanies Richard Lugner (an Austrian who possesses a building enterprise and is always present on his own reality show on ATV) is getting more and more unknown, or at least special.
It’s now a long time ago that I was the last time on a ball, and of course that “ball” wasn’t worth the costs. It was my sister’s graduation ball and it ended with some 15-years old that were so drunken that they must be brought to the hospital. That is often called “Koma-Saufen” here in the newspapers, and well, they might be right. But I guess, that not much persons are so drunken on the Opernball. The prices of drinks and all stuff is so expensive that nearly nobody can effort to get drunken there. :idiot: A bottle of champagne was about 300€.
Nevertheless I love classic music so it’s always delightful to see the opening of that ball. And I guess nearly every girl dreams of being a debutante and to feel like a princess at least for a couple of hours. :blackeye:

Prince of Tennis Well, let’s talk about something else before I go to the office – about some changes here on my diary. I have removed the Fanfictions’ section (temporarily, maybe it will come back one day when I don’t feel ashamed of them), but have added a site where you can see my coverarts and my web designing (it’s not at all what I wanted, but maybe I find some time to work that all over, to get better images of the websites). To be honest, I guess the only stuff worth to have a look on my fanfictions were the covers. My recent cover art is for a Prince of Tennis – fanfiction and shows Tezuka Kunimitsu (Seigaku’s team captain).

I’m a geek

Labyrinth Purse

I am so happy. After nearly two weeks I finally got the patchwork purse I have bought on Ebay from TwiddlerBags. The bag is so kawaii. I love it so much, especially the colors but also the Labyrinth image showing Jareth and Sarah. Ah I think I’m more geek than ever. Isn’t that cool?

And as a geek I am, of course, always looking for new Labyrinth stuff. So I was very lucky last week and could find a cool Labyrinth fanvideo on YouTube. The song is called “When You’re Evil” from a guy called Voltaire (not the French writer). I have never heard of him but I like that song.  B)

To get more serious let’s change the topic. This weekend the Nordic Combined World Cup takes again place in Seefeld. And again Marina and I will help out there. I am very curious who will win the races. Of course, I root for the guys from Finland and I guess that Anssi Koivuranta will have good changes to win also both World Cup events in Seefeld as he is in very good shape. That also promises the achievment of medals at the upcoming world championship. Nevertheless it seems that also the Austrian and German guys are getting better shapes as the season approaches.

Beside this all I nearly forgot to gratulate myself to the new design for Ankantoiel’s Diary. I hope you like it as much as I do.  :grin: But there is something I have to add:

I did NOT modify the design that it works in IE6, properly!

Still the greatest part of the page is working in IE6. I think the time must come that people upgrade their browsers to IE7 or use other browsers instead – there are a lot of them out there – and think about IE6’s security issues (not talking about it’s margin-bug, not-ability to display transparent PNGs, and all the other rendering issues).

In the following I have posted links to the download websites of different browsers which are all in every point better than IE6:
