Swissyland

A friend of the family had a wedding today in Switzerland and mein mutter went there two days ago, and is coming back tomorrow. Gabi, the person who is getting married, got me a Swiss Army knife inprinted with my name (Danke). My mother also got chocolate from there too. She is also getting me a german learning book. :D.

A Girl With A Pearl Earring and Das Boot

I saw the movie yesterday, and I thought it was a normal romance movie in the present. A Girl With A Pearl Earring is based in Holland in the 1600s. It's basically trying to figure out who was the maiden in Vermeer's (a famous artist, who Colin Firth plays as) paintings. It's a good movie, I ordered it from Netflix. :D. I'm also going to see Das Boot (means Boat or The Boat in german)soon. It's a deustch (german) film about a german U-boat in the 40s. It came out in the 80s I think in '81. It was re-released in '97. The movie explains that, war isn't good for everybody.

Siouxsie and The Banshees

Last week on a Monday, I took a train from Westchester to the city. I was going to see Siouxsie and The Banshees, well actually they're now The Creatures but everybody knows who they were. When I arrived in the city I walked from Grand Central to BBKings. When I got there, I went downstairs to where the conert was going to be. The concert area was very small, they said it could carry 1000 people but I doubt it could carry 500. The placed was filled with smoke, it was either from people or the placed was just like that. We (me and my mother, I am no momma's boy, I am just a bit young to go to a concert by myself) came early to get good spots; there were still people there, but it wasn't a lot. We waited about an hour for her to come; later on she finally came. Siouxsie looked good but she now has a big head (no doubt from the cause of her age) :X. They played music such as Kiss Them For Me, The Happy House, etc. We met a friend of Iggy Pop. He was a bit stinky though. Well, that's what happened in The Creatures (Banshees) concert.
