Stylish...?

I got two stylish blogger awards at the week end. Both Nantz (VINNIE VIDI VICI) and Bev (Blue Velvet Vincent) thought of me. Thank you my friends. I feel very honored.

The rules to accept the award:

1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you the award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 10-15 blogs who you think deserve this award.
4. Contact these bloggers and let them know about the award.


I) I’m a geocacher since late October 2006. At the weekend my mom and me (we’re team superfelix [there is an amazing story behind that nick name]) found our 1623 hidden treasure. We installed nine own caches, seven are still active and visitable. We cached beside Germany in four other countries.
II) I visited 13 countries: Poland, Czech, Austria, Swizz, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Netherlands (only Denmark is missing in Germany’s neighbors), Slovakia (and also Czechoslovakia), Hungary, Italy, Malta and USA. I was in every of their capitals beside, Washington DC, Rome, Bern and Brussels, Warsaw. I plan to see much more of the world.
III) I lost half of my family within 13 months. My dad died June 2005 with 57 years and my sister July 2006 with 21 years.
IV) My sister was 2 centimeter smaller than me at birth. This tale difference never changed over our growing. As I stopped growing with 1,51 m = 5 feet we knew she wouldn’t reach the magical 1,50 m.
V) My grandpa (father of my mom) was born in 1899. My mom was born as he was in his late 50’s. He must fight in both World Wars. He was an aeronautical pioneer. I can proof it here. He was a dentist but didn’t finish his doctor thesis.
VI) If I can finish my PhD thesis, I’ll be the first Dr. in our family.
VII) I was born in a country which didn’t exist anymore and I survived two currency unions.


Nominations: There are so many good blogs outside, and a lot of them already got an award. But I want to point on Criminal Intent Musings of my friend Quietfire. No one can combine music and video like her. When you’re also a fan of Human Target. Visit her new blog.

A/N: Without beta help because my idea of the current challenge came much too late.

He looked up from his notepad because a shadow fell over him. Books and notes were spread all over the desk of the library. He had studied for hours, had been lost in his thoughts. But it was nice to get a wake up call of a petite blond with a lovely face. University didn’t mean to study the whole time.

“You’re Robert Goren, right?”

Bobby nodded a little perplexed.

“I’m Alex Eames, Professor Ross’ PhD student and the tutor of his psychology lesson.

“Oh!”

“When you have any questions or need help let me know,” Alex said with a smile.

Random stuff to Mother's House

Christopher Washington posted a new clip of the Mother's House developing process. It's called the lost episode.

It took nine days for the crew to make Mother's House. But before production started, it took a week to turn a regular home in Stone Ridge into Mother's House. In this video, both the production designer and prop master talk about working on the house as well as working on the set.

Special Note: We had crew members involved in small clips where they thanked those who made donations and helped make this all possible. Make sure to watch this video to the very end to see one of the crew members thank Tender Corp. For donating bug repellent.


The first screening of Mother's House for cast and crew was a big success. Ingrid told me in an email that they filled the Rosendale Theatre completely and had wonderful response.

I didn't know of any more film festivals (beside the Davis Film Festival) yet, but Ingrid said they want to enter Berlin!!! That would be really, really cool to have Kathryn on a big screen. It would be the first time for me.


The kickstarter DVD's of the movie were send a few weeks ago. The whole cover and case were designed simple. A friend was so kind to take two pictures for me.



But there is that gem inside. If you want to talk about Mother's House, please don't hesitate to contact me. I badly need someone for explanations.

My second entry for the Criminal Intent Season 10 Countdown of ci_fans_unite. There are several empty spots left and maybe you want to join and create something to shorten the days until May 1st.

P.S. here you can read the last chapter of Alexandria. No fear, there is the epilogue left.

Catherine Ross Icons

Yesterday night I finished my first 20 in 20 batch of April. I decided for Catherine Ross, Kathryn's part of Mother's House.

I'll only add three teaser icons here at my blog because I can't hide [place behind a cut] parts of an entry. If you don't want to get spoilered, don't follow the link. But to look at the 28 Mother's House icons doesn't give away any content of the movie.

Visit the whole icon batch here at my LJ.

P.S. Only three chapters of Alexandria left. Read number 14 at ff.net or on my LJ.

Promo Pictures

I know you all saw the new promo pictures of Criminal Intent, but I need to show them, too. I really love the batch and added all ten pictures at my CI – Season 10 section.

Bobby and Alex/Vincent and Kathryn looking fresh and powerful. They are ready to solve more crime. The mirroring is a nice idea. Wow, so reflecting shoes. To show Bobby with and without tie is a nice detail. My first thought as I saw the broken glass photo: wow, Bobby is studying the case/details but Alex’s eyes rest on him…

…sigh.

I’m really excited what we’ll get in season ten. Will CI move back to their first years? Bobby is the center of everything. He solves the crime and Alex is helping but never the mainspring? Or will we get more personal driven storylines interwoven with a current case?

It would be really nice to have at least one ‘Alex’ episode to extend the Eames Trilogy [Blind Spot, Amends, Lady’s Man]. It must not be big drama. We had enough in the last seasons. But maybe there is a case which creates emotions and shows us the human behind the detective like The Third Horseman did. In one casting call and character description I read something about a woman who knows Alex from her time in VICE. I’m in a positive mood. It would be so happy to get a few more vita details of my lovely Eames.
