aka Decide For Jamie (and be Eventually Overruled) – Because I’m Tired of Being Responsible for my Actions Today’s question is: Should we get tickets for the Aimee Mann concert on July 4th? And if yes, how much should we spend on the tickets? (Remember we need two and if possible of the same price. […]

Okay, I’m just typing while I’m watching the ESC in a little window in the left upper corner of my really big screen. (Does it show that I love my new computer equipment?) So, right now we are watching the 11th performer, Israel and that’s really the first performance I actually like. It’s a little […]

With my cousin here yesterday I wasn’t able to watch the Eurovision Song Contest last night. So I captured it with my brand new computer and am watching it right now. I just saw four or five performings and right now Norway is on stage, so here’s my question: Is Norway on crack? (Just checking.) […]

Because it’s a meme that fits me (and I have nothing else to write about right now). So here we go: 1. Revolution, Robbie Williams (Ooooh, Robbie. Sorry, but I can’t help it.) 2. Angel Eyes, Mel Torme & Cleo Laine (I really like to play that one on the piano, too.) 3. Fly Me […]

Why is it that every time we are browsing all the nice things in one of the big media stores in Cologne I end up standing before the iPod display and little tears start slowly trickling down cheeks? Huh? Oh, how I love the cute little white miracles of technology. And how I hate the […]

Yesterday I came home and found a package lying on the steps of the stairs. You will have to know that for whatever reason we have the tiniest mailboxes in the whole wide world. Everything that’s even slightly bigger than a normal letter doesn’t fit in, so it either sticks out for every stranger to […]

In fact, he just disappeared for a long time, didn’t age, changed his gender, somehow faked his birth certificate so now it says that he was born in Iceland and changed his name to Emiliana Torrini. If you don’t believe me, just listen to her music. On that CD, if you please. He made another […]

When I walked across the Roncalliplatz in Cologne today on my way to meet my mom, there was this South American flutist group (we call them ‚Anden Mafia‘ by the way, but that’s just a side note) playing ‚Sound of Silence‘. Now I’m probably one of the biggest Paul Simon worshippers of my generation. At […]

The boyfriend had one of his dreams fulfilled last Wednesday. He’s now a proud owner of a 400 Euro acoustic bass. He already started complaining about his fingertips hurting. The pain is part of the practise, honey. That didn’t stop him from answering the phone with ‚Master of Disaster‘ these days. Which, unfortunately, is really […]
