shoe love

i’ve wanted a pair of marc jacobs mouse shoes for ever – and now, not even ebay has them at the moment – if you see some, buy me a pair?

one more katzenjammer

katzenjammer is one of my favourite words – no wonder katzenjammer has become one of my new favourite bands – i love this song – here kitty, kitty – and i’ll be your nightmare mirror – gänsehaut lyrics at it’s best

music of the month: july

having recently been in the craziest roadtrip of my life, there’s nothing but posting the songs we sang all weekend long – in traffic, at parties, shopping and at the beach

katzenjammer with ‘to the sea’ – pretty much sums up the trip – it’s one of the few songs, you can listen to at any time and feel good and also dance and dance and dance enthusiastically without ever getting tired

gwen stefani ‘hollaback girl’ – imagine five guys dancing up a storm to this song – it’s hilarious and infectious

and finally miss li with ‘ba ba ba’ – you’ll never never never get this out of your head – we still keep on piping up with it every now and then, resulting in a roaring chorus of ba ba ba – i absolutely love it!

summer living – summer loving

the past week has been hot and sweaty – too hot to move, too hot to worry, too hot to do anything but lie low and read a good book – but ever since a nice thunder and lightning storm life and the city have cooled down – i would love to spend the day lazing about, reading with my back against a tree or, oddly enough, a tombstone, going to the lake for a swim and making smoothies – but i do have loads to do – like writing a phd, which i seem not to be doing at all at the moment, due to extensive planning sessions for a six week research trip to yorkshire in two weeks time – hostel bookings, train fare checks and flight information are foremost on my mind – but, yorkshire, yay!

on such sunny days, even being confused in love does not matter – life is beautiful – and life will be even better tomorrow – tomorrow i’ll be in the city by the sea – i deeply long for the salty smell of the sea, dipping my feet into the water and chilling with a group of crazy friends – sounds like total summer feeling to me

this is hell

being sick during summer is about the worst thing to happen – but being sick on a day like today, when the temperatures rise beyond anything bearable, you haven’t slept all night due to having been to the toilet every 15 minutes and a hot water bottle on your tummy is simply out of the question, makes life seem about closest to hell you can get

comfort candy

there’s nothing like a good dose of 1954 feeling to squelch the disappointment and sadness

yet another classic of german football music!

i am disappointed

letter of disappointed complaint to cristiano ronaldo

dear cristiano,

i am totally disappointed. i was betting on you to become top scorer of the world cup. and what have i got to show for it? one measly goal. agreed, it was a pretty nice one, but one is not enough! not nearly and you know it! and that’s not all. i am so appalled at you. you behave like a petulant child. instead of living up to your abilities, you make mistake after mistake, pout and sulk and strut around the field as if mummy forgot to give you your chocolate sandwich for breakfast. that will not do! i am sad and crestfallen and daunted. i feel, i can never bet on anything as fickle as you again. i believed in you and i had to pay dearly for that – a total loss of face, now leading to a loss of faith – faith in you, in football and in my ability to judge.

i hope you feel as shameful as you ought to.

sincerely, carola
