weekly glee . 15th december - 21st december 2008

i'm sorry, but this week i'm a bit late with posting! i have a lot to plan and to do because of the moving ( which is now delayed until february 2nd much to my discontent ), and there were happening a lot of things so... that's why.

this week i don't really have... well, life-related glee things but just stuff i found on the internet or was directed to.

and sorry for my horrible english in advance, i'm in a very strange emotional state right now because of crazy things going on regarding my work. it's possible that my english is a bit chopped because of that.

but onto some nice stuff!

"in your dreams"-photoshoot by sebastian faena

i love the vivid colours and how the fashion somehow... flows! it's classic and modern at the same time! i especially love this picture and this one.

"french twists"-photoshoot by annie leibovitz

this one is an ode to 17th century fashion and absolutely glorious! i can't describe exactly what i love here... maybe it's the small stories those few pictures tell? well for mostly, these photographs depict my love for everything that's old and gone, even though those times were hard times, too! well, not always for the rich, but still. the clothes are great! and hey! gerard derpardieu!

"pure poison"-photoshoot by patrizio di renzo

this one has been made to actually show jewellery, but i love the elegance in these! and i also loved the above picture pretty much, because of obvious napoleonic relatings. still, the jewellery is not mine, i'm barely wearing jewellery at all! the black-and-whiteness dotted with a few bright details made me fall in love with this photoshoot.

and a video! beware! it's not quite the beauty but still hilarious!

this made me lol so hard. especially when i finally noticed after... a very long time, believe me, that justin timberlake takes part in it. but still!

and some
internet findings!

have you ever heard of coilhouse - a magazine newly founded by 3 wonderful women about alternative culture ( art, fashion, technology, music, whatever you can imagine! )?
well, it's time you do! they blog about anything they discover, may it be music reviews, archeological/architectural news or just 'better than coffee'-entries! search for obscure, funny and interesting facts? visit coilhouse! i'd really like to own a magazine of theirs, but... it seems there's no shipping overseas. so i drool over the blog stories they have in store, it makes me happy, too.

like when i found this!

i love this animation so much. everything's drenched in sadness, but still there's so much wonderful details to observe and to listen to and it's all kinds of glorious. what disney made out of the little mermaid is nothing against this! this is the real little mermaid!

and last but not least:
this is very cheesy and all, but... this is my christmas song this year! last year rudolph, the rednosed reindeer was everything that my brain was playing and this year, it's this! well, i suppose just because of bob dylan. or maybe cindy lauper. but bob dylan mostly. yeah, i SAID it's cheesy!

so... that's it this week! until next week! and of course! I WISH YOU A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS! may it be not that stressful for you like it is for me this year! and spread the love!

may '20: seeking modernism.

super pink rhododendron buds emerging! i start off this post with some flower images to appreciate and praise the time of spring, especially the month of may, which is the most abundant spring month to me personally. all the blossoms, all the fresh greens amass during may, and my heart and mind are hardly ever able to not frolick & gush about it all! for this post i am returning to one walk i did with the sole purpose to find a special mid-century villa in königstein ( which would ultimately prove to be a failure - i did find it, but i couldn't approach it properly to have a good look at it and only ever saw a tiny bit of the garden/forest side ). the whole walk was not a letdown, though, as i did find some other mid-century & brutalism gems and thoroughly enjoyed walking through the old spa town in the taunus mountains. rhododendron shrubs yield all kinds of different blossoms in myriad colours, they are easy to breed, therefore a wide variety can be found all over the wor...

autumn impressions.

a selected assortment of autumn related things. ( or things that don't fit into a 'bigger picture' ) i will get around to posting my autumn vacation photos as well. my parents and me visited france a second time and i think it was almost as wonderful as the first time. but i'll get to that soon. moth in front of a vinyl shop window. i bet you know who's smile it is that strikes at you from the record. elvis! i went mushroom hunting again, this time with jasmin, the best mushroom finder i have :) but we didn't have a lot of time together this past autumn, i am very sad to admit this. she's one of our apprentices in the serving area in our market, but recently she's on exchange in a different outlet until january. but soon we'll have her back and our sporadic meetings will stop being sporadic. i think times like these make me realize that there's something worth living for. mostly my life is very grey and i'm so thankful to s...

of dragons & critters and yin & yang kittens.

my cat shadow is a very prolific cat and gives birth to baby sweethearts annually. we always let them grow up until they're old enough to be given away. growing up in a huge garden where they can roam around freely - isn't that the best way to grow up? it's always a joy to visit my parents and my cat in that time of the year. i have also included some pictures of a little rhine trip i made in the middle of may. and the occasional random ones that didn't fit somewhere. rhine wood dragon. sitting on the rhine beach enjoying the beautiful day. my stone collection of the day. ( i seriously have a lot of stones in my home. i love to collect them! ) the river rhine near eltville. random skull assortment ( shot this at the naxoshalle in frankfurt - i was there for a japanese movie festival ) rosey roses. they also smelled heavenly. raindrops on my window. chameleon tail. i adore spirals. baby kittens drinking momma m...
