We've successfully made it to midnight again. Sitting in the living room with my flatmate practicing his polyrythmic metal. It's the only room with heating, the rest of the house is fast approaching zero. It's wednesday, time to break out the G&T.
Bist du zu schlau, um nicht unangenehm aufzufallen
und nicht schn genug, um damit durchzukommen?
Weit du genau, wie es ist, immer raus zu fallen
nur nicht weit genug, um woanders anzukommen?
Es tut weh, so zu sein, wie du solltest
Es tut weh, zu sein, wie du bist - Aber wenn der
Quarterback kommt, um... Read More
I just watched a new German movie called "Die Flscher", the English title is "The Counterfeiters" about a group of jews forced to work as counterfeiters in the Operation Bernhard in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
I'm still speechless so I quote:
Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im Falschen. - Adorno

Maybe the only thing that remains in the face of the unspeakable, the irrationally... Read More
I'm incommunicado for a while, my Laptop went kaput on me.
Edit, a month later: My Laptop is still at the repairs, apparently they didn't notice until they had almost repaired it that they needed to replace the German keyboard and didn't have any German keyboard spares.....
This year marked my first serious foray into Metal: I went to Wacken.
Being otherwise not very familiar with the Music I tagged along with a few friends and joined a group going there most of whom I didn't know beforehand but all of whom turned out to be amazing.
Despite the swamp, the camping being miles of the festival area (due to the swamp)... Read More
Leider hatte ich weder Zeit noch Geld um dahin zu gehen. Ok, das ist nicht ganz richtig, auf dem Weg um meinen familiren Verpflichtungen bei meinen Eltern nachzukommen, bin ich in der Wir-fahren-nach-Wacken Karavane mitgefahren. Glcklicherweise bin ich nach Hamburg A7 und nicht A23 gefahren. So ist mir das 20km Grillfest auf der Autobahn entgangen.
Die Reiter sind schon sehr geil. Da waren einige Bands, die ich mir htte ansehen wollen
In Germany we complain that the government is bureaucratic. As everybody who has been to England knows, that is completely backwards. We should be singing jubilations that only the government is bureaucratic!
In England, not only do you need several different forms of references simply to rent a room (including a so called character reference from a friend), no, my moving to my new place... Read More
Back to the UK now, I'll be catching up and posting pictures over the week.
Still no pictures here, still editing but I'll give you a rundown of the places I went:
LA: Oh the insanity! I met up with my good friend elfin there who showed me around all the cool places to hang out in LA. Which makes them pretty much the coolest... Read More
in der tat ein perfektes fest.
und genau aus dem grund das wir keinen bock auf den blichen stre hatten haben wir es so heimlich und weit weg gemacht auf der kleinsten insel die uns begegnete.
sorry if i didn't get back to you in the last week or two, traveling. Currently in Los Angeles which is absolutely stunningly brilliant (if you have a local to show you around).
next week: san francisco and mexico.
Edit: Currently Boston + New York; next week: home.
Less then two weeks to my trip and I'm house hunting and haven't really prepared anything yet = not good.
New Acquisitions:
Neil Gaiman - Fragile Things (The Quote from the introduction: "I would rathe recollect a life misspent on fragile things than spent avoiding moral debt." won me over.)
Miles Davis - A Kind of Blue
Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine
Penderecki - St Lukes... Read More
naja, stupid nicht! sieht irgendwie geil aus.
das erinnert mich etwas an das dschungelbuch. das htte super gut in diese schatzhhle gepasst, fehlt noch die schlange.
Ausserdem was soll ich da sagen, bei entsprechendem Posen komme ich erschreckend nah an 90-60-90 ran....
Das riecht erstaunlich nach nem SB~set.
Das video ist Marcel wie er seine einmal monatliche Performance macht. Daher ja auch der vortreffliche Titel "Monatsblutung", einer seiner Namensschpfungen.
Das ganze passiert immer im Sage, was ziemlich peinlich ist da das Publikum gerne consists of rosabehemdeten Typen und Weibern mit goldenen Taschen in der Axelhhle, die dann wild und frei zu electromucke abhotten. Aber whatever, a jobs a job, und er macht ja stndig son Kram.
My Brain got pimped majorly.I also went skiing and hiking which was gorgeous. Plus socially it was truly amazing reconfirming to me that I'm precisely in the field I want to be in. So that is good.
At the moment I'm sitting around at home in Munich meeting old friends, back to Notts in a week. Lots of new ideas for work,... Read More
- keine Heizung.
Ich will auch Schnee.
