weekly glee . 8th december - 14th december 2008.

it's the time again!
this week i have some major news and glee-stuff to post, so let's go!


we visited the erfurt christmas market another time and this time i got a few decent architecture by night photos! i always seem to be unable to do some good night pictures, so i have to use my dad's head for having somewhat unwiggly pictures :P it's a gleeful thing for me.


this one is somehow very dubious.


well, i've cut my thumb very deep, so that's why it's bandaged. it's actually an ungleeful thing, still it helped me having more time for my moving activities. and also! you can see my new hair cut which i'm totally in love with! i didn't know i'd long for short hair so much until the hair was gone!


from aside.


yesterday we visited my grandparents and i've felt kinda pretty. you can't see many of the outfit here. still i loved it and i didn't look like a burnt-out wreck. the food was wonderful. i swear i only go to family meetings to shove some food into my mouth.


i also love the christmas lights in my room! it lets me forget the stress i had recently. and that is to come.


and i can still relax on my bed! next week i'm going to view an appartement in wiesbaden and hopefully after that will move there. i will also meet my new boss and visit the market i'm going to work in next year. this makes me excited and scared at the same time.


guess what? i never thought of ever seeing bob dylan live in my life! and now it's going to happen! next year, april, the second! this must be an april's fool! i'm so excited! the last time i was so damn full of glee because of a concert was when dir en grey were in berlin. and that was a lot of excitement. okay, okay. i'm always looking forwards to concerts and the like and am always totally in love with the bands and artists, but bob dylan is someone extremely special to me! even though i'm just 20 and didn't grow up with his music like others did, he's one of my biggest idols! you can't say no to bob dylan, right? and the most amazing thing is that he's going to play live in erfurt, the most provincial town i know of! that is some kind of wonder, really!


o other things o
.the cat's having it's own little house now! i have the feeling she will never leave it anymore.
. i need to shoot some snow pictures soon. weather service says it's going to snow again by tuesday. hopefully! the snow we have now is melting away faster and faster.
.maybe we're going to visit the christmas market in weimar today. but it's still a shady plan, but whatever. it's the thoughts that count!
.dreamfall - the longest journey! this game was my friend last week since i didn't work and had boredom on my hands. i recommend it to everyone who dislikes soldier games, or games with masses of violence at all! i love role-plays and point-and-click-adventures. i always get sick though when there is too much shooting and ugly monsters and i need a story, a well-made story, to really draw me into playing something. i love fantasy mixed with history, thriller and detective elements. and this game has all this!

thanks for following my blog!

The photos of the Christmas market are wonderful! My husband lived in Germany for a while and has told me about how wonderful they are. Hopefully one day I will get to visit them.

november: kickelhahn, himmelblau & weimar cemetery.

i had a week off in november and visited my parents ( as i often do on my vacations ). on a sunday morning we headed to the thuringian forest to climb onto the peak of the kickelhahn mountain. the kickelhahn mountain is the landmark mountain of the city of ilmenau . johann wolfgang von goethe , the famous writer & philosopher, often visited ilmenau and also climbed the kickelhahn. oftentimes he stopped at a little hut in the woods to relax for a while and on one of these stops he wrote one of his most known poems.  our little adventure didn't last the whole day, though, as we had a little date with the weimar cemetery to look after the grave of my grandparents and then to visit my cousin and his family. tiny peek onto the kickelhahn tower. thuringian woods - deep dark green. at the goethe hut. this plate shows the german version of the poem goethe wrote here. inside the hut. and here's the english translation. i love this poem so much, as ...

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...
