wtp #2: cook up a secret recipe.

i decided to start a little project, which is inspired by rookie's weekly writing project 'creative prompts'. the project's basically a practicing task to get creative, they provide a subject to work on and you can send in what you created, may it be photography, art, poems, or short stories. i think it's a nice way to get started on writing again so i figured i'd try myself at it this year. i probably won't succeed in a weekly manner, but i hope to do it once a month at least.

a recipe to a 'come up with solutions to life fatigue, laziness & self-hate'-cake

one pinch of self-respect cinnamon
two grains of salt
three teaspoons of super-refined sugar
four cups of well-sifted self-delusion flour
five depressed looking bananas
six drops of bittersweet caramel syrup ( infused with lime juice, hence the bittersweetness – you can't have one without the other )
seven oz. of an alcoholic beverage of your choice ( high percentage is advised – rum might be the best choice )
eight dashes of desiccated coconut ( big portion of self-awareness included )
nine scoops of unhealthy vanilla-spiced and self-whipped cream
ten grams of the darkest chocolate powder available, the darker it is, the better ( almost black might be perfect )

additional step before you do the following things below: look at cute animal pictures.

mix until well combined, pour into a solid and heat-resistant pot, shove the pot into a pre-heated oven, wait 30 minutes and then pray for a decent outcome.


if the outcome is not the product you initially wanted, don't despair, eat the cake anyway ( if edible ) and move on to the next try.

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...
