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!

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...

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 ...

the america chronicles '22: austin I - city of the violet crown.

sighted on the way to austin: the texas colorado river . but beware, this is not the iconic colorado river ( 2.334 km long ) that has its source in the rocky mountains and confluences in the gulf of california, flowing through the grand canyon and other magnificent landscapes along the way, but this is texas' very own colorado river with a length of 1.387 km starting in the llano estacado plains in northwestern texas, and eventually ending up in the gulf of mexico at matagorda bay . why there are two colorado rivers in the US, i really don't know 😅 my guess is, that they were named by two people in different times, not knowing of the other's colorado river discovery. we'll meet the texas colorado river again in austin, so i will probably bestow more information on you eventually ;D a random road squirrel, also found on the way to austin. austin is about 187 miles ( 300 km ) away from baytown and is situated west from there in central texas. it sits at the foot of th...
