Now that’s something I can do!
I got tagged by @holleyberry and @thesimtraveler . Thank you so much!
Rules: Using gifs, and without using titles, list your top ten favorite tv shows of all time. They don’t have to be in any particular order. Tag however many people you like.
And once again, obscure German television:
As always, if you want to do this and no one tagged you, consider this your tag.
This meme/thing apparently switched names sometime, but anyway…
I got tagged by @eulaliasims and @thesimtraveler . Thank you!
Nickname(s): It’s near to impossible to create a nickname from my real first name (someone once called me ‘organic waste trash can’ as a term of endearment (it rhymes with my real name in German)- the swim team was weird, man-… I thought about adopting “Thea” as a nickname for the internet. It’s a short form of my (very Catholic) middle name.
Gender: Female
Sign: Aries.
Height: around 161 cm? Dunno, get a new number any time a doctor measures my height.
Time: it’s currently 19:17. Central European Time.
Birthday: I’m a Spring baby.
Favourite Bands: I’m actually more of a “song” type of person…
Favourite Solo Artists: Marina And The Diamonds.
Song stuck in my head: The title song of a really cliche dramedy about a doctor with dwarfism/ microsomia, aptly named “Dr Small”. It’s a trainwreck and my boyfriend and I are surprisingly into it. Even though they killed the gay main character. Because of course they did.
Last movie I watched: That would be that Robin Hood movie with Cary Elwes… “Men in tights” I think?
Last show I watched: some random German trash show. Other than that… Midsomer Murders. Much needed escapism.
When did I create this blog: Hm… probably the summer of 2013? Holy shit, this blog is five years already!
What do I post: Well… Sims stuff. Pictures, mostly. Bit of storytelling when I’m feeling fancy.
What did I last google: Orthopedic practice in [nearby city]. I was actually looking for my orthopedist, but couldn’t remember his name.
Other blogs: aonda-blogs. There is nothing there, though. Nothing.
Do I get asks: Yes. Occasionally. I actually get more direct messages than asks.
Why did I choose this URL: Was already using that name in the German Sims community. It’s a combination of a misheard literary name and my big dog.
Following: 164.
Followers: 633, according to tumblr. Half of them are probably porn-blogs (do they still count if you block them?).
Average hours of sleep: between 6 ½ and 9 hours. My sleep schedule is all kinds of effed up.
Lucky number: 13. I was an edgy kid.
Instrument: Violin. Haven’t played that in years, though. I’m a decent singer, though it took me way to long to realise that I’m NOT a soprano. I’m more of a mezzo-soprano, with the tone colour of more comedic roles like soubrette. But I can’t hit those notes, so…
What am I wearing: A giant plush onesie. Went to the dentist today, got a root canal removal, got bad news (have to go to a specialist because the doctor couldn’t find the last root canal. It just isn’t there…). Went home and decided to sleep through the anaesthesia wearing off. Figured I deserved to wear that onesie after such a shitty day. And I’m rocking it!
Dream job: Being independently wealthy so that I can see work as a form of entertainment/ self-fulfilment (I would never not work, even if I were a billionaire). If that doesn’t work out- teacher is fine with me.
Favourite Food: Spaghetti Bolognese. And lasagna. And spaghetti with the special tomato sauce I love to make. You know what? Let’s just go with noodles. I love noodles.
3 favorite fandoms: Oh, god, a lot of fandoms are a bit too… die-hard for me. Um… Sims, of course. The parts of the Steven Universe fandom that I chose to be involved with seems to be pretty nice, too (I’m a lurker in all fandoms other than Sims). Are name enthusiasts a fandom? XD Phew… the Animal Crossing fandom seems nice, too?
And once again I think I’m late at tagging people… If you read through my ramblings up until this point, consider yourself tagged!
I got tagged for the ‘If I were a sim’ meme by thesimtraveler!
1.What world would you live in and why?
Um… Probably Belladonna Cove? Or the quiet countryside of Riverblossom or Veronaville? No, Belladonna. Riverblossom is too cold and Veronaville seems to be a bit… deadly.
2.What would be your traits?
(I don’t think I can remember half the traits…) Nuturing, Frugal, Dramatic, Friendly and Natural born Performer? Thank god there are lists on the internet! XD
3. How would you live?
My own little house in the suburbs (I think there is one in Belladonna, right?) so it’s quiet but I’m near the city. Small house but with potential for extension. Either furnished like an IKEA store or like a really old lady lives in it. With a pet. Two. Dog and cat. I think I’d buy a corgi and name him Napoleon.
4. What would you call “your spot”?
The museum. Or the park with the stage. I’m sure I could gather up some sims to perform a play. 🙂
5. What are your Top 3 most DISLIKED traits?
Oh… hmmmm. Hydrophobic (I love swimming, so it’s more of a personal thing), Snob and Unflirty.
6. Your favorite color/music/food?
Red, Spaghetti and… I don’t really know what kind of music I like in real life, let alone what my simself would like.
I’m tagging… everyone who hasn’t done this already and feels like doing it!
I think I should probably reply in bulk, otherwise I will flood your dashboards with the same damn picture again and again. ^^

My curiosity, as usual, got the better of me, and I found the original on Youtube. I laughed so hard I started coughing and then crying and I had to pause it just after the 14 minute mark as I thought I was going to tinkle. I can’t believe this hasn’t been shown on Turner Classic Movies here in North America.
I can totally see why it’s a holiday classic. Even though it’s screamingly funny it has a very melancholy underlying theme.
Yes, the mix between funny and melancholy is great, especially for a holiday. Although, it was originally aired as a fill-in. It became quite popular after being regularly used as a fill-in on New Year’s Eve.

Now there is a classic I haven’t seen or heard of in years!
Well, I think that’s the matter with regional holiday classics. ^^

Here in Denmark it’s sent New Years Eve. Black and White version in English. It’s amazing and funny and perfect every year.
New Year’s Eve, too? Well, our countries are pretty close, so it makes a lot of sense, actually! And yes, it is perfect for holidays! We still watch it every years, my mother now for probably 40 years, and still like it. Although we know all the lines by heart by now.
