krabat

soon to be seen at ThOP in göttingen – starring myself as a corby- one of my favorite books and i am sooo excited to be part of taking it to the stage – come and watch! – premiering on december 4th 2008

brisingr – all read

having finished brisingr, life seems a little more empty than before – i thought it was bad to wait for harry potter, but this is sooo much worse – if only because it is now that i have to endure however long it takes for christopher paolini to finish his fourth and last book of the inheritance cycle – or because he had so much to tell that the trilogy even made it to a cycle and that there is a fourth book to wait for – anyhow, brisingr was as awesome as expected, but left so much unanswered and so many stories still to tell – am i being impatient? – no i am being a fan, a very curious fan – i want more, so much more and soon, please!

yearbook yourself???

no way, i don’t have to do that – i’ve got my own pretty 90s yearbook photo – no nasty hairdo and funny clothes – just plain me, with fantastic make-up, long, long hair and a west kings robe – i felt totally cool and important and historic – really, those americans know what they’re doing…

breakfast at villa cuba

oh, delightful breakfast with names such as santa lucia, tobago, havanna… – add a cappucino, a good friend, a fruity virgin cocktail and a saturday morning – a day couldn’t start better

hell yes

it’s back – yummy, yummy, yummy yes-cake – only for a short while, so i stocked up – it is soooo good – childhood memories – birthdays celebrated on the road – a couple of mouthfuls of devine chocolate or caramel – just the perfect sweet snack – anythime, anywhere

magic shoes

in love with a pair of shoes – i must have them – no matter what – love, love, love, love, love – even from just looking at the photo, i can imagine the warm, fuzzy, comfortable feeling – this is true love at first sight – they will be mine soon

there’s something about me

i’ve accepted my fate – i am cute – there’s something about me that makes me totally girlie – i guess, i kinda like it – but sometimes i’d rather be more like a guy – it’s easier – less worries and no one would reduce me to being cute

charlie’s angels

saturday night – cocktail night – party night - and no party night is complete without an autotimer photo or two or three – just as many ’til you get the perfect one – so we tried for charlie’s angels, but somehow i think josie & the pussycats is a much more fitting pseudonym

bad boy complex

so, i’ve finally got it all figured out – i’ve got a bad boy complex – i always fall for the bad boys, never for the nice guys – that’s definitely not good – there are so many cool guys, whom i really love – but they’re just my best friends, kind of like substitute brothers - and i’m not at all attracted to any of them – i wish i would be – would save me loads of trouble and tears – and don’t say, you gotta try and love always starts with friendship – no, no, no, no, no – tried that – falling for my best friend – not such a good idea – so i’m back with the bad boys, which will never work out – but my hopelessly romantic mind somehow always tricks me into trying again  – seriously, i do need some help!

today

gotta get up

gotta buy a mop

gotta buy a book

gotta work

gotta flirt

gotta eat

gotta sleep – nap

gotta dance – tap

gotta prance

gotta have a rockin’ good time

shiver my timbers

ahoy mateys, tomorrow is talk like a pirate day and me be well prepared – not quite turtle soup and rum, but just as well – worth pillagin’ and plunderin’ for – avast, me hearties, avast!

me be hungry after work, yarr! – me be thirsty after work, yarr! – me want soupy after work, yarr! – so, smartly, ye salty sea dogs and prepare soup for ye ol’ captain, savvy?

dadabndabnduah

dadabndabnduah – my heart is making dubndidu – lyrics from my new favorite song – man of devotion by fool’s garden – dadabndabnduah – that just summons up everything – life’s on track and even the weather is great – cold and sunshine, my absolute favourite – dadabndabnduah – i can’t wait for the leaves to turn bright and start falling and whirling in the wind and for the fall storms that howl around the house, while i am snugly inside, sipping hot cocoa and reading exciting books – dadabndabnduah

dadabndabnduah- just three more days till the new eragon book comes out – brisingr – the perfect reading for a stormy night and i’ve got a gift coupon for my favorite book store, so i simply have to go and pick up the book – dadabndabnduah

dadabndabnduah – i finally got lights on my bike again and it’s all winter safe now – i can drive through puddles and on ice (maybe not quite so;), but i can drive at night! – dadabndabnduah

charity can be so much fun

every two years hamburg’s high society gathers in a huge lufthansa hangar, where usually luxury planes are built and repaired, to celebrate charity – for the fourth time this year, the money from the event goes to phoenikks – a foundation that helps children with cancer – the evening is made up of a mixture of engineering wonders and great music across all genres – by the end of the night the hangar was rockin’, just as every time – i was especiall thrilled to see fool’s garden and find out that their song lemontree is all but the one hit to make them a one-hit-wonder – they make wonderful music – from slow ballads to rocking tunes to simply great fun – and they put on an awesome show to boot – here’s some photo

my life of randomness

do you ever have the feeling, your life is just too absurd to be real? – no, well, that’s how i feel on a daily basis – there are just too many ridiculous and absurd things that happen to me – it cannot be normal – today i thought i’d had enough after the bakery incident, but things just got more and more strange, as the day went on – ending with a guy deliberatly making me and my bike crash into a street lamp, by sidestepping back and forward and me unable to evade him – i gave him a good talking to and got rid of the last bit of my built-up anger and tension – so this friday ends just as last friday has, with me being in quite a content and happy state – this deserves a toast – to happy times – and i know just the song that goes with it

ps: all my love and friendship, a pizza, loads of chocolate and laughs to steffi and andrei for the good times – and always remember - no wife without life

the bakery incident

this is the story of my quest for a chocolate croissant – a two-day quest – this croissant is heavenly – mostly chocolate, a little croissant and topped off with a dash of icing suger – simply devine! – my day yesterday started with turned off water, so i couldn’t shower, wash my hair and leave in time for work – being late, my croissant was history for that day – today then was the day of the chocolate croissant – i would get one no matter what – first stop: bakery at the corner – ten minute wait, while an immensly large lady ordered cake enough to feed not only herself, but also her entire apartment building – then, to my great disappointment, no more chocolate croissant – next stop: next bakery, down a couple of blocks – oh, yes, there it is – the last croissant – but someone else is in line in front of me – i am praying, i am hoping, i am dying – then, my turn – yes, yes, yes, double, triple, quadruble yes – it’s mine – my very own heavenly, chocolaty croissant!! – and nothing, not even annoying customers or bothersome guys, that happen to work here as well, can keep me from enjoying it and savouring it’s rich and chocolatey flavor to the fullest possible extend

cheer me up, buttercup

sadly my name is not sam – but i do like green eggs and ham – it’s a total cheer me up book – i start and cannot stop to look – dr seuss is fantastic, bombastic, elastic – i like it in a house – i like it with a mouse – i like it in the rain – i like it on the train – i like the rhymes – always, not just sometimes – in a box – with a fox – thank you, thank you, sam-i-am

i feel blue

the weather couldn’t be better as my mood couldn’t be worse – blue skies and blue mood – nothing seems to help, as i glide into a state of not caring and simply existing – even sitting on my favorite bench  in the sunshine, reading and eating yummy yummy letter cookies  does not help – i am in a funny state – i’d fain call it being in love, but somehow that doesn’t quite describe the situation – it’s rather a desperate kind of crush   that won’t go away and that i am fighting no matter what – i want to get rid of it, but this feeling has taken hold of my mind deep down, has settled in comfortably and refuses to leave – so i am in a constant bad mood, cannot enjoy the sunshine and instead am sitting at home with a huge tub of chocolate gelato  wallowing in self-pity and enjoying it nevertheless – this has got to stop sooner or later but for now i don’t need anything, but a good romantic chick flick  some more chocolate and loads of kleenex – it’ll pass, it really will, it always does and this is no exception!

rasmus

this is rasmus, the cutest, bestest, most loveable cat i’ve ever had the fortune to meet – he died six months ago and it still hurts like hell to think about it – i miss his purring, his climbing up to try and sit on my shoulders as he used to do when he was just a tiny little kitty, his crazy notions, when he did something stupid in order to show off and say “hey, i’m here and i’m cute” – o, i simply miss all of him

perfect day continued

so, the day goes on and on and it’s still pretty perfect – some champagne to celebrate 1. my diploma (can’t get enough of that!) and 2. my co-worker anne’s survival of her big big exam this morning – then swimming with as much energy as i could still muster – and just wanting to burst into song – underwater singing must be so cool (under the sea – lalalalalaaaa) – i want that – o, and then a party tonight – so first pizza, then party – sounds like a pretty damn good plan to me – update to follow soon

coffee, kittens and sunshine

what’s a perfect day? – today came pretty close just till now – getting up at 6 am to do my grandma’s move to the retirement home – then a very late breakfast with excellent company, coffee, croissants, kittens and sunshine in the garden – i think i might just be a little bit in love – and now a whole afternoon to spend just as i like (i think a nice long swim in the pool is an excellent idea) – tonight it will be dinner and a movie – ah well, pizza and tons of episodes of berlin, berlin – one of the funniest german shows ever made – and maybe some champagne or cocktails to celebrate my diploma – can’t get enough of that now, can i?

oh yes, i ain’t even bothered by my missing atm card – which i already blocked only to find it again at the post office’s atm machine and couldn’t unblock – and now having to pay 5€ for blocking and 5€ for a new card and remembering a new pin, which would usually suck, but on a day like today, i totally ain’t bothered!
