„Guten Tag, Herr W. von der Finanzagentur. Ich bin auf der Suche nach Tagesgeld. Ja, etwa eine Milliarde.“ „…“ „GroÃ?artig. Vielen Dank.“ „Hi, this is Mr. W. from the „Finanzagentur“. I’m looking for some money for today. Yes, about one billion.“ „…“ „Great. Thanks a lot.“ Apparently this is how our government gets new money. […]

Did you know it’s language week? So, basically that means that you should right just a little bit in whatever other language you would like to write in. It doesn’t have to be much, it doesn’t have to be right, it just has to be fun. And because I’m not in a creative mood right […]

If you’re having dinner with your mother and a friend of your mother’s who happens to be a professional biker (well not as in biking as a profession, but more like biking professionally) and you also happen to have recently started to go to work by bike every morning AND you also are not a […]

I think I didn’t sleep at all last night. First of all I had to sleep alone, which I don’t like at all. How do all you single people do that? I remember there were times when I could sleep alone, but somehow I completely forgot what that was like and now I wake up […]

I figure it’s either because it sounds like such a completely strange useless and weird thing or because I might actually need it one day. Either […]

2004 was a crap year. So we lived and we were okay and nothing really bad happened, but we had to put up with so much crap, I still can’t believe it. We had ongoing unemployment, non-paying tenants, trouble with health insurance and worse things that deserve a story of their own. Then as strangely […]

Whoever said that the music they play in supermarkets (and I guess would qualify for the term elevator music) was bad was either a music idiot or never shopped at my favorite supermarkets. Because the music they play there is better than a lot of the stuff they play on the radio. Alan Parson’s ‚Eye […]

So yesterday we celebrated my grandfather’s 94th birthday, which means I had no time to do anything at all. It also means that naturally I couldn’t get up earlier than noon today which would have been okay if we didn’t already have a theater date in Cologne this evening. So my weekend, which by the […]
