Bored to death
I can’t stand to hear a rich junkie whine… . Hat jemand mit mehr Tattoos als wie ich vor vielen Jahren gesungen. Oh Marcus, was hast du dir denn bei dem aufwärmer gedacht? Der spielt ja gleich den Saal leer. The lovely girlfriend hates him, too. Nette Idee mit der Begleitmusik vom Band, das gibt…
Kill all German Sports Journalists!
O.s.ä. Doch, doch. Ich kann mich eigentlich ganz gut mit dem Gedanken an eine Massenhinrichtung deutscher Sportjournalisten anfroinden. Sehr gut sogar. Die Spiele/Events werden an sich schon zu ca. 98% unerträglich kommentiert, oft auch mit mangelnder Fachkenntnis dazu. Als Sahnehäubchen ein “Experte”, der alle zehn Minuten zwei Sätze sagt, die nichts sagen. Doch das schlimmste…
Goodbye TWOP!
I just learned that one of my favorite sites when it comes to reviewing TV shows will cease to exist the next weekend. 🙁 🙁 🙁 Televisionwithoutpity was just that, straightforward, often merciless, most of the time hilarious recaps of TV shows. I followed the 24 recaps back then and quite often found the recap to…
Café Frieda
Sometimes great things really do happen. Like finding a great cafe in the middle of nowhere. We discovered Café Frieda on Insel Poel today : I’ll sum it up with two words: fantastic cakes. I sacrificed myself and tasted three of them myself and also took some samples from two others. And I can confirm…
Singapore
Singapore. Back after 13yrs. Finally. I love this city, walking from restaurant to restaurant, exploring food stalls, eating the day away. Definitely my cup of tea. And the botanic gardens, the bird park, the bay gardens, etc. Perfect spot for a long layover, especially at 35 degrees. 🙂 and even the super skeptical and at…
Gorgeous Gorge
We decided to spend our last couple of days on Waihi beach and stayed at a brilliant bed and breakfast aptly named Beachfront Bed and Breakfast. Great place, lovely hosts, perfect location. Probably the best stay of this holiday. So I spent some more time playing with Harald, walking and running on the beach, soaking…
A dark wind is blowing from the east
When we driving down the scenic road to Raglan I nearly crashed the car because I was co-performing another Kreator song that had found its way on the playlist. Why is it that so many metal songs contain a line like ‘a dark wind is blowing from the east’? Are they all eastophobic? Is that…
77 heißt ‘Grüß Gott’ …
We were driving from Napier to Stratford, Taranaki a couple of days ago and that was somewhat frightening. First of all, I saw this billboard on the side of the road for “SS showers”. That would be a complicated sell in Germany. Next was a billboard for “SS homes”. So I was starting to worry…
Mozzie festival @ Lake Rotorua
One more pic, than I’m out for today. A nice little mozzie festival on Lake Rotorua. Breath through your nose!
