The comeback and the germans

Hey! It's been quite a while, taking a blogation (a blog vacation) but I'm back! If Britney Spears can attempt a comeback so can I , methinks. I am of course, missing the Greaseball with paternity rights. Ah.

So much has happened - exams ended, I went home, etc.
But today isnt so much about me, as about other people. Most notably two Germans who have absolutely captured my imagination and adoration.
The first, and perhaps more familiar one : Mikey. I won't go through the whole day in detail, but I will say that despite some initial apprehension and nerves, it was fun. And when I say fun, I mean the man makes intelligent, funny and philosophical conversation, all while sipping a Savannah and looking decidedly attractive. Really.

More soft-spoken than I thought (for he uses many exclamation marks in msn chats), I was constantly trying to keep myself in check because when I have to speak English I rely heavily on handgestures and cartoonish antics to try and disguise my lacking profiency.
Also, he did manage to grin at my paltry witticisms, but I don't know if he was just being nice :)

So all in all, Mikey's much more adorable in real life than he could possibly come across online. We didn't hug when we parted ways because I know he's not big on them. Here's an internal hug :)

Ok, so on to the other German : Hans Zimmer.
Seeing that he's one of the most brilliant composers working in movies today, I thought he'd look a bit old and rusty, sort of John Williams-ish. Au Contraire. Our man (who did scores for almost all the best movies ) is quite cute, despite being 49. His music is inventive and ravishing, so much so that you want to think he's that way as well. Listen to the main theme of POTC2, on headphones, with the volume turned up high. If that doesnt rustle something in you, youre probably dead or decaying. I think as far as musical sugar daddies go, I would. I totally would. (He looks better shaven) There's an interview on YouTube.

Hope you're all good.
