Yesterday i made chinese noodles with oyster mushrooms and zucchini (and other secret ingredients ;D ). Yummie.

Today, I spent a little time at lake Balaton. The weather was sunny, and the lake had an unusually light blue colour.

Vote: TIME's most influental people of the year - Angelina Jolie

Click here to rate the influence on a scale from 1 to 100 (I suggest putting the bar to 100) of Angelina Jolie, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the U.N. High Commission for Refugees and has promoted humanitarian causes from eradicating poverty to reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS throughout the world, raised as much as $10 million for charities by selling pictures of her and Brad Pitt's baby, Shiloh, to magazines. To name just a few things.

Click here to read what she wrote in an article for the Washington Post about her visit to Darfur.

Watch Angelina's videodiary of her visit to Kenya.

Listen: Hilary Duff - Dignity

When I saw the (terrible) Lizzie Maguire Movie starring Hilary Duff in 2001 on a looong flight from Frankfurt to New York, I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS would have thought that I would actually like anything she does. Well, today, she's a 19 year old blonde cutie turned classy brunette with a fresh album, entitled Dignity. It IS a POP album, but thankfully a more upbeat one, kind of unexpected I would say. But the real strength of this album are the surprisingly sassy and honest lyrics, all (co-)written by Hilary. I must say, for a few weeks, I had the album on HEAVY rotation. ^_^ Cherry on the cake: during interviews, she's really grown up, funny and SMART. For a young Hollywood-actress-and-singer, that's not bad. Not bad at all.

Listen: Feist - The Reminder

I needed some time to get used to Feist's latest album, but now there isn't a day when I don't listen to it at least once. 1,2,3,4 and My moon, my man stand out, but her unique voice, the thoughtful lyrics, the subtle music make the whole album to one of my favourites of the moment.

Movie: Stranger than fiction

...is one of the best movies I've seen. The screenplay and directing is brilliant, Will Ferrell's (and Queen Latifah's!) play is so moderate (!!!), Dustin Hoffman and Emma Tompson are amazingly erratic, Maggie Gyllenhaal is a lovable rebel and baker, the whole movie is a delight to watch. WATCH IT. :)

Budapest

Watch: Nelly Furtado - Say it right

This song means so much to me... But the video is just so not what I imagined listening to the song over and over and over again last summer. That's why these are performances ^_^ :
