MY NEIGHBOURS ...

... at work remind me of my good old fellow Mr. Box-Man ;o)

CHINESE ECONOMY OR SOMETHING!

... it seems that all Heavy-Metal-Grandpa's run out of money these days! 

Or why is it that Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Metallica (to name a few) come up with a new LP in 2008?

Care less – and donate Axl Rose's retirement in beautiful Malibu (http://www.gunsnroses.com) ...

YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL WHY I BOUGHT THIS BOOK ;o)

FREESTYLE

In Munich even trees look different ...

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO COME NEXT:

today though, soft snow flakes started to fall ;-)

IT'S GOOD TO SEE ...

... others work while I was teribbly lazy this week ;o)

For if you want to get to know about some beautiful design stuff [other than on this site ;0)] please check: http://www.ministryoftype.co.uk

I'm sure you will hit upon some very inspiring things there ...

Love

PS: I will try posting a Scotland review from next week on ...

LET'S FACE IT!

This is me. This is my portrait. The portraiture workshop is over, and this was one of the excersises we worked on, looking for things which represent us. Me?, a picture of my beloved rusty overused sneakers. We did other stuff, but it was mostly theory, readings, etc. Salute!

FLASHBACK

From the 20s or so... an unplanned retro-design for showing a restaurant's info, some time ago it was used to attract customers in (?). Quite minimalistic, the lines and type, with empty spaces around them looked nice to me. The elements are not really many... probably the number of people who finaly got in were not many either!
Servus!

SLIDING DOORS

Sliding doors at the airport let you in, home again, there's a 1998 film, called Sliding doors, maybe you saw it. I certainly remember Gwyneth though I reckon she probably doesn't remember me... The other character is Scotish John Hannah. It's an easy, fun, nice film, Jule you may probably like it, at least in case you both don't know what DVD to rent next.
¡Saludos!

SCOT+LAND

With a scotish accent: – "Have a greet teim, enjoy!"
¡Saludos!

HAVING SOME SORE EARS!

... angain I went to this sticky and totally packed club located on the top floor of that old bunker – though this time I was listening to Roots Manuva (http://www.rootmanuva.co.uk/).

Unfortunately I only had this crappy camera from my mobile phone with me – but two lousy photos won't give you a proper idea on how rough the lyrics really were anyway! Nice bass, nice crowd, nice gig – even thouh my ears are hurting still ;-)

Would have been so nice if you could have been around!

... SAG JA ZU ASTRA! (DRINK BEER AT WORK!)

May I introduce you to »Bully« my true and only friend at work – defending my desk against all evil ;-)

Sag ja zu Astra!

(Drink beer at work!)

... COMING FRIDAY ;-)

Cheers mate and thanks for all your nice thoughts on our Scotland trip! However you mixed up the dates – we will leave for Edinburgh only this coming Friday ;-)

Anyway, we will simply take all the things you pointed out as good advice – even though I reckon we will probably focus more on having a nice Single Malt than on trying to look most ridiculous because of wearing a kilt ;-)

EASY LIKE WEDNESDAY MORNING

Servus! Hope you had a delightful, nice visit to Edinburgh this past weekend, maybe also with sunny weather?! Did you meet Wallace (national hero)? Did you spend a weekend trainspotting? Or did you meet Johnnie Walker and hicked up and down the city streets? Well, with friends like him, probably zigzagging instead of up and down... maybe not, for sure the weekend was something much better than all this! ... as for me, I'll remind myself whenever visiting Edinburgh, to have a picture done on me on scotish skirts.
¡Saludos!

TIME OUT ...

Things are getting better next week ... I hope so!

WE WERE BEAUTIFUL LOSERS!

Emma and I went to the movies yesterday and saw this most inspiring film about graffiti, skateboarding etc. I once told you about.

Great pictures from amazing artists, a rather special place to watch a film (namely a rotten club in the huge grey bunker located next to the Dom, remember?) and a gaudy crowd made this evening perfect for us!

Conclusion: Quit your job, do the things you like and be inspired!

I'M HUNGRY TOO!

Wow!, that crunchy bread made me so hungry! You made me go out and get something ;)!. This time, a pasta frola to share, at least virtually with you... Our backery culture is not as amazing as in Germany, not as exquisite as the french, but you know, we sometimes cook a little too. This is a quince tart... sweet, very sweet.

Have a nice Friday!, saludos,
M.

STAY HUNGRY!

Seems we are all quite hungry these days – so here's a slice of freshly baked bread for you!

Guten Appetit ;o)

SCARY MACHINES

Crazy how machines are involved in our everydaylife. Couldn't go to lunch today because the machine didn't like my money and totally crashed down... I'm HUNGRY ;o)

THE WEEKEND WAS COCONUTIN' GOOD!

Coconut, Cocoanut,

large hard-shelled oval nut with a fibrous husk containing thick white meat surrounding a central cavity filled with fluid (coconut-milk).

ONE ...

... of the most beautiful cities I know (seen from the cocktail-bar on the 20th. floor of the Empire Riverside Hotel) ...

EXHIBITION

Went to Buenos Aires Foto, an exhibition for diverse photographic galleries and artists, mainly from Argentina and Latin America. I saw this interesting work by mexican photographer Alfredo De Stéfano. Also some interesting work by other artists. There are nice things going on.

All is well here, again, weekend feels great!!, I feel like going out into the desert later and burn some circles. ;)

¡Saludos!
