The End...LOST, no more

For me it all started during some serious cold in April 2005. I watched the pilot of LOST on German TV one or two days ago (the bald headed guy was dubbed using Cpt. Picards voice...again...), since I thought it might be an interesting show I had already downloaded about 15 episodes over the last few months...
To be honest, I wasn't that hooked after the German-dubbed pilot, but decided to use the time I had to lie in bed for something meaningful and started watching another episode of LOST...that was around 10pm...then came another episode, and another,...I finished at 6am and ~10 episodes later...
I was hooked!!!

For the next five years, I was looking forward to every new episode of LOST...and even more to every season finale or premiere. LOST became even more interesting, after I got my HDTV...better than watching a movie.

There have been so many moment LOST moved me or left me sitting on the couch with my mouth open. The first flash forward...the opening and explosion of the hatch...Locke in a coffin...Locke alive again...1977...the bomb(s)...and most of the flash sideways....

Yesterday it left me crying, yeah LOST, welcome to my list of TV shows of which I finished watching the finale crying. STAR TREK-TNG, Babylon5, Six Feet Under and NipTuck...seems like a good neighborhood...But honestly, [Spoiler (mark text to read):] how fucking awesome was the last scene, Jack lying down to die, Vincent running towards him, lying down next to him, the ajira-plane flying away...and finally Jack's eye closing...still giving me the shivers...

And, yeah, there is a shitload of question still unanswered...but hey, this means we can discuss and theorize for the rest of our lives ;)
Also, there is some serious gap left for novel and maybe another movie, I would be really looking forward to something like that.
Oh, I want the complete series on BluRay!!! Birthday...in five months...remember it ;)

If this is really the end, seems like It is time to let go...

The ashcloud, friend or foe?

After €20 - burgers, buckets full of shrimps and missing darkness at night, it was time to go back home again today.
As the news hungry ones of you might already have heard, there were about five airports closed today...and as fate wanted it, one of them was Amsterdam, my transferairport for today...
However, it didn't come out as fucked up as the last two times...I am now sitting in a nice lufthansa jet en route to hamburg...and I will only be five hours (not 14 or 5 days) late today ;)

...I cannot get rid of the feeling that someone doesn't want me to fly...

A few seconds of HATE!

The ashcloud wasn't the worst thing to happen to air-traffic in germany...

There is one known to be even worse, and that is - FOOTBALL FANS!!!

I wanted to fly to Norway to visit Silke who's there for work. It started all pretty funny, everywhere there were those Fulham fans in their KIA jerseys. It got even funnier, when the Hamburg S-Bahn sign at the Airport showed "FULHAM FANS=this train!"...no comment...

The fun started to stop quite soon...my plane was 1h delayed...so my transfer time in Schiphol decreased from 90min to 30min.

Wouldn't have been too bad...but since I am sitting in a stranded passenger hotel in Amsterdam, it didn't work out like that...

So, now the big question is why...was there some delay because of the ashcloud? Did someone kidnap a plane? Or anything serious?

NOOOO!!!

Airtraffic was dead cuz of the fucking football game...HAM closed done a complete landing strip to use it as a PARKING PLACE for the airtaxis that got the football fans here and back...

So, ALL the scheduled flights where delayed for up to 3.5h (my flight) just so the FUCKING fans could get home conveniently...

SOUNDS FUCKED UP, BUT IT's FUCKING TRUE!!!!

I HATE FOOTBALL!!!!

ARGGGHHHH!!!!!
