After what I think was the disaster of IM2 here is the trailer for Iron Man 3.
This looks really great.
Is it April yet? NO, wait! That would mean Season 3 of Five-0 would be almost over. We can’t have that.
Starts in Europe in April 2013 and in the US in May 2013
We probably even have to wait until January for this to air, but I’m already excited.
Update: This will now be episode 3.10 and will air on December 03.
In episode 11, a bank heist goes wrong (and just as Max is about to connect with a new love interest!). In the aftermath, McGarrett is kidnapped by Cordova, a dangerous hitman wanted for at least twenty murders. Cordova doesn’t usually open up to men when he’s about to take their lives, but he starts talking when he finds out that McGarrett knows a secret about him.

I think it was a great episode, with some wonderful scenes in it.
• Love Cath and Steve, they are awesome.
• Christine Lathi does such a great job. What the heck is mom up to?
• Good for Steve not to trust her. I really like that.
• Danny, you’re such a girl. LOL
• Best line: Stop playing with your gun. 🙂
• Chin was great in his scenes with mom. But he fell a bit short in the ep.
• Loved bad cop Steve! Don’t mess with him.
All in all a really great episode with a pretty boring case, but the cases are not why I watch H50 in the first place.
I’ll give it a solid B+
Just a random look at abbreviations and other strange habits
For twenty odd years now I’m using Email and the Internet. And in all those years I never got comfortable using too many abbreviations. Or worse even short forms of ‘real’ words, like many do in their emails or text messages.
The first and most important reason in the beginning was: “What the heck are they trying to tell me?”
All those letters seemed just randomly put together and didn’t make any sense to me. Until I discovered they are a new language. Nowadays everyone uses those simple combinations like LOL or FTW or not so nice ones like WTF. Everyone knows what they mean. Do they really?
And then a couple of years back I started with Twitter. Boy that was like a totally new ballgame. How do you say what you want to say with just 140 letters? You have to get creative. And some are so creative that you can’t even understand what they are trying to say.
I understand the need to shorten words for Twitter, but why do people also do it in an Email? Come on, people, it is common courtesy to write in real words. Use your words.
A very special pet peeve of mine is writing everything in lower case letters. Please don’t do that. It might not be such a big deal in English, but trust me it’s a very big deal in German. I simply don’t understand why people can’t use the ‘shift’ button. It’s not that difficult, everyone should be able to do it.
If you like to look up some abbreviations here is the right site for you:
Hopefully you will find some interesting posts here soon.
