one song

if i could put that whole year in one song, it would be this one… can’t wait to see what follows…

oracles, fluke or the by coincidence effect

i am a great believer in miracles. if i am not certain about something i go and ask an oracle. what that might be? let’s say you’re not sure if your boss will give you a promotion before summer. and let’s suggest you are driving your car towards a crossroad. the traffic light is still green. then you ask the traffic light oracle. if you turn to blinking green before i pass you, it’s yes, if not no. that’s so easy. and there are also the un-asked oracles. yes! for example today. i was listening to peter gabriel on my …

rhapsody in f***

what to do tonight? i need some distraction from my somehow exhausting work and have two opinions. plan A and plan B. the whole time in the streetcar i am changing between the two plans. meeting some people and drinking punch or going to a movie theatre. i am having a hard time making a decision. ok. i take plan C, which means my favorite kind of shopping: book shopping. i love books! unfortunately the book store is closing the moment i step into the it. what is fate trying to tell me with this? again: what to do tonight? …

juliane and i are always right

i can always trust in juliane’s taste of men and movies (read here). we were both certain from the beginning that daniel craig would be a perfect james bond. shame on all those lousy film critics, who bashed craig and made a complete turnaround when the new bond finally hit the movie theatres. i was eagerly awaiting casino royale and tonight is finally bond night. i am meeting up with dieter and his gang (honzo and andreas) at haydn cinema to watch the movie. from the beginning it’s clear. this is not normal james-bond-style. the opening sequence is cool black …

oktoberfest

so. i finally made it to munich to visit juliane. although i got up around 4.30 to drive all the way from graz to munich (arrived at 11) i was too late. too late? for what? on a saturday morning. yes. hours too late. to get in one of these famous tents on weekends you have to be at the „wiesn“ around 8. you get no beer outside a tent. and that’s the only reason to go the oktoberfest. with me: juliane and michael, her coworker. we waited one or two hours. totally lost my sense of time. after that …

blog back
