White Shadows

Another hipster-songtitle-blogpostitle. It's cloudy outside. I can smell wet concrete. I'm listening to Coldplay music. It's all so soothing. There's pollen floating around in my room. It's a person's birthday today. I spent today with my grandma. Watched old movies and the likes. Tried not to rip my urethra out. It hurts rather bad. Let's hope I don't start pissing blood, now that would be bad. I'm a rather moody victim of the period. Start crying over everything, even Pokemon. Also cried because person won't be here for a week. I'll miss person, even though person won't miss me in the least bit.
Where's my thunder? I want a thunderstorm. Lightnings, dark skies. I'd like to go outside for a bit. Just breathe fresh air. Run from things for a short time, let things chase me. I'd like to see life chasing me for a change. Just run. Maybe I'm going to do this now. Wish me luck.

Awww

Just watching old shows on a website, it's SO nostalgic. I'm actually close to tears, just because it's reminding me of my childhood. Right now I started with Full House and even though I wasn't even born yet when this show was cancelled, I watched re-runs all throughout my early childhood. And I grew up watching it, like so many kids before me. God, I LOVED this show! And it feels great watching it. Seriously though, it's moving me. I miss being so small and not having any fears or worries. I kind of miss making up interviews with the characters and recording on my cassette recorder. I miss the old MTV 2. I miss Super RTL when it wasn't Toggo. I miss animes when they weren't just shown on RTL 2 Pokito. I miss playing with my friend and I miss staying out with her until 10 p.m., pretending to be characters from DoReMi. I miss that one vacation on the Maledives, with the big ants and the white sand and the blue sea. I miss all those shows with the canned laughter, so old that they're not shown anymore, anywhere. I miss it. I miss it all. I miss my life as it was.
Now, I've gotten really sentimental. But you know, I often tend to think about my past. It's so sad and pathetic because I can't bring it back. I'm really shedding a little tear here. You remember my time-rant on New Year's Eve? Well, it's been stuck on my mind! It's already almost MAY! And I'm getting unhappy thinking about how I'm growing older, how it seems just yesterday that I started school. Just yesterday that I was so little, not caring about anything. And even though this is inappropriate right now, just yesterday that my dad died. I kinda would've needed him in the last three years. It just robbed me of the last remains of my childhood. Sometimes I wonder if I could've become any different if this hadn't happened. Perhaps I would be more blue-eyed, more innocent, more actually believing in a perfect world rather than just dreaming of it.
But of course, you will never know. And I guess we have to accept the present as it is, because we CAN'T change it. We can only make the best of it. This is what I'm trying to do every day.
And I'm going to buy some DVDs of the shows, so I will always be able to watch them. Golden Girls, Fresh Prince, Full House, Home Improvement, you're all gonna be MINE!

Hello Jesse Katsopolis! And hello to your mullet, too! And to your armpithair, too?! - Hello Danny Tanner, it's like your eyes are trying to tattoo some rules and JUUUSTICE into my brain even after all these years!
(Though they were quite dreamy guys, you have to admit! They're the heroes of my childhood!)

 As an ending note, Jodie Sweetin/Stephanie was so unbelievably cute! And she's gotten really pretty, just like Candace Cameron/DJ. I love them all!

 (Real real ending note, sorry for that rather heavy and sad post, it just came over me. My apologies!)

How I hate translations!

Well, just a quick post here. I was just watching psych but I didn't really pay attention, but fortunately (or rather unfortunately), I noticed this. Spencer came in holding his eye, saying something along the lines of 'Ahh, ouch, it's what old ladies have in their handbags' and that blonde chick started guessing things. She said 'A spray? Peppermint?' to which he replied 'Yeah, a spray, but not peppermint!' and she said 'Mace!' and gave them the clue to who the murderer was.
Now, that doesn't sound so bad in English, but if you translate it to German, it doesn't make much sense. Around here, we do not know the term 'mace', and it's 'pepper spray'. So the joke makes no fucking sense anymore.

And that also happens to Harry Potter 7, where the really awesome joke of George after him losing an ear just gets really flat in German. After Fred asks 'How are you feeling?' George says 'I feel holey.' In German, he says 'I feel like Swiss cheese.' (which is known for having a bootload of holes.) That completely kills it, I didn't even smile, I just rolled my eyes and read on.

What do you think, do translations kill jokes and the little bit of fun that may be left in some movies/TV shows/games?
