Thought out loud

Last Friday my Girlfriend offered me a Vodka Red-Bull. Just for celebrating the end of the (Work-)Week. I found that a good idea.

Two Vodka Red-Bull later, i just started to feel it, my Girlfriend started to clear out the cupboard and cleaning it up. Later that evening, I was already going to bed, my girlfriend was still working on the contents of the cupboard.

Note to self: Never give my Girlfriend Red Bull

The next morning we decided that my office needed a remake. After all, there is a Stone-Old PC-Table and a Typewriter-desk which don’t offer that much storage space. Equally stuff piled up on top of them. That needs to change. Next Stop: The Blue-Yellow Furniture house.

About two hours and a Panzerotto later, I was proud owner of two EFFEKTIV-Shelves. The rest of the saturday we’ve spent cleaning out my office. It’s astonishing what piles up over two years of never clearing out. I’ve thrown away about 3 boxes of old stuff. Who would need to save a 400Mhz PII Computer? Lets get rid of it, together with a mechanical Paralell-port switch and a stone-old KVM-Switch.

Assembling the shelves took me about 3 hours. Cramming all my stuff in there took me a lot longer.

This gave us the final kick to give our flat a general makeover. Kitchen, Living room, bedroom. So here’s the plan: We need a table in the Kitchen to get more space. The living-room is quite crammed since we got our new TV. The HiFi-Receiver is in the way since then.

I’ll try to summarize what happens in our flat to make it even cozier…

During the Train-Ride to Munich and back, i’ve finished reading my book. You can read a short review about it on www.bookwormr.com

We’ve already had a some warm days this year. A few days ago I saw the first chalk-drawings of kids on the pavement. It’s a usual picture around here during the warm season. My mum emailed me a few pictures of chalk-drawings taken to the next level.

Take a look at these…

These Pictures are all drawn by Julian Beever. The Pictures shown above are linked from his site.

Too bad these are volatile, one Rainshower and it’s gone. But still someone keeps drawing them. Just for the fun of it. This, at least to me, is the love to doing it.

Yep, thats right. During my days off my girlfriend and I planned to go and visit an old friend of mine. He lives in Fiesch which lies in the beautiful canton Wallis. Of course being there, we would also go skiing in the Aletsch-Resort (site in german).

The year is coming to an end. The last working day of this year was last Friday. Now that I can leave work behind me for the rest of this year, Christmas-Presents is the main subject. I have one day to go until christmas eve. Fortunately I have a lovely girlfriend which helps me in finding appropriate presents for the family. Most of the Family is hers anyway . Luckily, she bought a car lately, this makes finding a present for her a lot easier.

This week we went to see the Musical “Ewigi Liebi” in the Maag Music Hall. The musical incorporates music of many swiss artists including Patent Ochsner, Plüsch or Florian Ast. I think it is a good musical and it gave us a good evenings entertainment. Read the rest of this entry »

… how it feels to lose an argument with Mike Tyson. Or at least I think I do. From my upper lip to just below my eyes there is nothing to feel. It is totally numb and feels swollen like a sponge.

At least another visit to the dentist is over. Still I must say, she does a wonderful job. If the numbness after a Treatment is the worst pain I have, then I suppose I’m lucky.

Today I have an appointment with the dentist. 2 cavities need to be fixed.  I had worse than that, only the location worries me a bit. Its the upper front row, not the center teeth, but the two next to it. I can already imagine the anaesthesia… ouch.
