2009-04-27T22:46:00.010+02:00

.. which make boring days more bearable.

it's just the first part of a -paint-my-whole-arm-project ;)
but for starters, we r gonna do my lower arm *yeeehaaaa*
can't wait to get started :)

introducing:::: NORBERT

2009-04-04T00:02:00.008+02:00

kike, a very talented designer from columbia (yeah that's right > i know u r NOT from barcelona, even if u live there ;) ), who i've got to know via couchsurfing (he was staying at my place for some days) made a beautiful new clock.

he already made this one, called YGOR, and gave it to sabine and me as a thank-you-present.

after some months he sent us a new suite for YGOR, so YGOR transformed into the infamous robot-clock CYGOR.

now, incredible kike made another clock, called NORBERT!
since i admire kike's work i decided to introduce NORBERT to my readers, so watch out, here comes NORBERT....
(btw > norbert also comes with 2 suites .. u can change his suites .. how cool is that ....)

some pix..

2009-03-29T12:29:00.010+02:00

since i'm workin nonstop, i don't really have any time for .. anything.

i managed to go to james holden on friday night, but i think it was the only time for .. at least 5 weeks, it almost felt weird, standin on a dancefloor again, after all that time ;)

anyways,

since i had a very nice and long morning talk on skype with lilly, and i sent her some pix, to show off with my life ;) (which is in fact just .. happening at work and in my very own room and bed cuz i need some sleep besides workin ^^ ) i decided to put some of those pix online.

enjoy, i have to rush to work as always ;)

this one is for my mum since i know she's always waiting for me to send her some pics of me, cuz she's worrying how i'm doin. doing fine mum :)

this is my sunday-morning:

coffee in my pantone coffeemug (i still luv it)

cigarettes in my stolen (blush) marlborothingie

oh, and of course .. internet ..

this is my cute little desk, we got weeks ago, it was just standin on the streets and we were gettin breakfast, so we decided to take it :)

oh yeah, i had to show off my new speakers, finally, i can listen to my music with some nice bass ;)

this one was taken .. uff ... months ago when i visited my family in austria.

yeah .. right .. that's were i grew up. in exactly that .. broken building :D :D joking of course.

oh well, lilly.. runnin around graz-city ^^

miss those times ...

and i just had to put this one up, to remind myself that i should continue workin on my very own music-clip-project. well .. sometime .. when i have more time ^^

beautiful things ..

2009-03-21T11:15:00.002+01:00

.. for eyes and ears.

today, when i had my first sip of coffee, i watched this 2 videos kinda accidentally. i was merely searching for thomas brinkmann's music since a friend recommended it to me. but when i watched it i just couldn't stop lookin (which is rarely the case with me since i'm so inpatient and overfloated with media-stuff latetly).
anyways, i felt obligated to share this two beautiful pieces with you.
enjoy (this is great stuff to start a weekend)

poetisches.

2009-03-11T09:32:00.003+01:00

it seems as if i'm always workin on my own stuff obsessively, when there's too much to do at my agency, anyway > last night i finished renderings for this one, which is supposed to be the first part for a music video i'm doin instead of sleepin ;) (that's the spirit ^^)

Irgendwie. Irgendwie.

2009-03-04T23:48:00.008+01:00

Irgendwie. Irgendwie... Gibt es da diese Tage an denen man schon morgens zu müde und zu alt ist um überhaupt Zucker in den Kaffee zu tun.

Wozu die Mühe, wenn man ihn ohnehin trinkt, sei's drum, ob mit oder ohne Zucker. Das Ganze ist ein bisschen so wie Atmen. Ob mit einem Lächeln oder einem Stirnrunzeln, im Endeffekt egal.
Der selbe öde Nachgeschmack. Leicht bitter und ein bisschen fragt man sich wozu denn eigentlich.
Dann scheint einem die Sonne ins Gesicht und alles draussen riecht nach Frühling. Sogar die Vögel zwitschern, um dem ganzen Kitsch zu entsprechen. Und irgendwie erinnert man sich, dass das Ganze ja doch Spass macht. Die Sache mit dem Atmen und dem Zucker. Jede Sekunde kann ein Fremder dich anlächeln, oder du ihn, und es macht >Klick<.

Doch irgendwie versinkt der kurze Moment in trüben Gedanken. Man hat neue Musik entdeckt und sich gestern noch gedacht, die tritt dir in den Arsch und macht dich wach. Und hat daraus diese beneidenswerte Kraft gezogen, die man braucht um sein Leben ein bisschen in andere Bahnen zu lenken.
Und irgendwie hört man das selbe Lied wieder und wieder, während man automatische Mausklicks verrichtet und seiner Arbeit nachgeht, und mittendrinn macht es >Klick<.

Man geht auf Gedankenreisen und ist auf einmal bei einem Freund, den man vor ein paar Tagen im Krankenhaus besucht hat. Und irgendwie erinnert man sich an diese Minuten als man sich festgehalten, gemeinsam in den Nachthimmel gestarrt, Krankenhaus gerochen und den Krebs gespürt hat, der in seinem Körper hockt.
Und weil in diesem Moment der Tabak zu trocken ist um eine zu drehen, ist es plötzlich scheissegal. Hilflosigkeit und Wut richten sich heute auf Tabakverpackungen die nicht ordentlich schliessen. Und nicht auf die Vergänglichkeit.

Man kaut Kaffeebohnen, um der Versuchung zu widerstehen einfach die Augen zu schliessen während der Computer rendert.
Man krümmelt Brot, um der Versuchung zu widerstehen an den eigenen Nägeln zu beissen.
Man reibt sich die Augen, um sich nicht ins Gesicht zu schlagen.
Man starrt auf die Uhr, und irgendwie vergeht die Zeit nicht und irgendwie ist man darüber nichtmal traurig, weil man nicht nach Hause will.

Später kommt man in die eigenen vier Wänden zurück und zündet sich ohne Erleichterung eine Zigarette an. Man hört sich das verdammte Lied jetzt auch noch als Entspannungsversuch ein weiteres Mal am Abend an, und fühlt sich noch beschissener.

Irgendwie kommen dann die nostalgischen Gedanken die man sonst so schön verdrängt. Man ärgert sich über sich selbst und darüber, dass man sich ohnehin nicht ändert und sein Leben genauso falsch verstreichen lässt, wie noch vor einem Jahr.
Irgendwie fühlt man Falten auf der Stirn, die geschätzte vierzig Jahre alt sind, auch wenn man weit davon entfernt ist an dem Punkt zu stehen.

Man wirft Wäsche in die Maschine, holt Wäsche aus ihr raus, hängt Wäsche auf und wird das Gefühl nicht los, dass irgendetwas fehlt. Man erinnert sich an ein Wochenende das irgendwie sehr viel besser war. Und erinnert sich, dass das anstehende auch sehr viel besser sein wird, als das was hier und jetzt ist. Und irgendwie ist es trotzdem egal.
Macht es einen Unterschied, dass man weiss, dass das eigene Leben toll ist, wenn man den ganzen Tag davon genervt ist?

Man macht es sich mit heisser Schoko und Kippe im Bett gemütlich und führt belanglose Konversationen online. Man wirft Blicke in das Leben von Bekannten, die Bilder online stellen als wollten sie einem zeigen wie gut alles doch in Wirklichkeit ist.

Man würde jetzt eigentlich noch gerne raus was trinken gehn, kann sich aber nicht aufraffen und will doch nur allein sein. Man fürchtet und freut sich auf den morgigen Tag und darauf, das Ganze auf Repeat zu erleben, weil es anders sein wird. Und kann irgendwie aus Wut über diese romantischen und weinerlichen Gedanken nicht einschlafen.

somehow dedicated to this song:

tampere

2009-02-26T19:02:00.002+01:00

der knochenmann > review

2009-02-23T23:12:00.004+01:00

heute abend hab ich mich zu einem kinobesuch trotz arbeitsstress u unerfülltem pensum hinreissen lassen. und mit der selben macht, mit der mich der film vom rechner weggelockt hat und mich mal raus aus meiner digitalen welt geholt hat zwingt er mich auch mal wieder einen muttersprachlichen blogeintrag zu posten ;). als auslands-österreicher gibt es eigentlich keine schönere ausrede als ein kinofilm aus der heimat in dem auch noch der beste kabarettist den wir zur zeit vorzuweisen haben die hauptrolle spielt. ganz zu schweigen vom autor zum gleichnamigen roman, der mich schon mit 14 fasziniert hat (damals noch halbverbotener weise, weil ja so bös und grauslich in sowohl sprachlichen als auch visuellen monstern)> was allerdings wieder eine ganz andere geschichte ist. hier jetzt also zum knochenmann der 3. romanverfilmung der wunderbaren "krimi"reihe um den noch wunderbareren antihelden brenner.

wenn man sämtliche haas romane gelesen hat war man schon bei "komm süsser tod" extrem vorsichtig und hat pedantisch auf etwaige abweichungen vom original hingewiesen (ausserdem haben wir es doch wirklich alle gehasst, dass der ach so wunderbare erzähler jetzt irgendwie so geschrumpft und entmachtet wurde, und nur am anfang düstere zeilchen aufsagen durfte). in wirklichkeit wollten wir wohl alle nicht so ganz unangefochten zugeben, wie sehr wir den proletarischen wiener schmäh lieben, u wie sehr uns der brenner um den finger gewickelt hat. mit seinen hundeaugen. und seiner wahnsinnig tragischen art zu scheitern. (potentielle schwiegermütter seufzen mehrstimmig aus) an "silentium" erinnere ich mich gar nicht so genau, war vielleicht doch ein bisschen ein zu baeh-thema für meine damals noch unschuldigen ohren. wer weiss. na auf jeden fall, jetzt also nummer drei, und weil das ganze mit den anderen beiden filmen schon gefühlte dreissig jahre her ist, ging man so ganz ohne erwartungen in den kinosaal. wo hader und haas draufstehn, wird wohl spass drinn sein.

und dann das, kaum fängt der film an kommt die sympathische ÖSTERREICHISCH sprechende stimme des erzählers daher und sag den einen satz, den sie immer am anfang sagt, und auf einmal kommt man sich mitten in deutschland wie zuhause vor. und so geht es dann 2 1/2 stunden weiter. auch wenn es einem gar manches mal den magen umdreht und man sich zwingen muss die popcorn auf denen man grade kaut nicht sofort wieder auszuspucken (merkt euch nur eines: die knochenmaschine. und hühnerhaxen. ihr werdet es lieben) man fühlt sich doch wie ein verlorener sohn der wieder heimgekehrt ist. in den schoss des österreischichen sarkasmus', der bösartig schonungslosen betrachtungsweise der (steirischen) landbevölkerung (geh scheissn) und, oh ja, man hört auch etwas ungefähr alle 10 minuten, was man schon vergessen hat > der brenner bestellt nämchlich "an verlängertn". sowas gibts in deutschland nicht, und das fällt einem erst wieder so richtig auf, wenns einem ganz warm ums herz wird. mag vielleicht auch am brenner liegen, der zum wirt meint - na so verlängert wollt ihn a net - nachdem der kaffee doch schon minutenlang runtergeronnen ist.

na jetzt aber, genug abgeschweift, kommen wir zum pudelkern.

was also macht den 3. brenner so toll, dass ich mich dazu gezwungen seh, einen lobgesang zu schreiben?

ach ich weiss gar nicht so genau, vielleicht ist es nur meine melancholie, die mich da total eingeholt hat, inmitten deutscher menschen, an den unmöglichsten stellen lachend (also eigentlich immer), weil man als österreicher halt doch noch viel viel mehr lustige sachen findet (sei das jetzt die slowakische hure, die vom verehrer nach österreich gerettet werden will u ganz entsetzt meint: nach österreich? ICH WILL NICHT NACH ÖSTERREICH !!! oder der brenner, der die herzdame fragt ob ihr kalt sei, denn er hat ja an ofen dabei ;) das fanden mein österreichischer begleiter und ich dann doch ungefähr 10x so lustig wie der rest ;) )

also gut, da haben wir grund eins > heimat. man ist halt doch im herzen rot weiss rot, auch wenn es einem die deutschen ganz gut austreiben ^^

und tja, was soll man noch grossartiges über den österreichischen humor verlieren .. ich denke, erst wenn man mal eine zeitlang in deutschland gelebt hat und gemerkt hat, wie wahnsinnig NICHT lustig die deutschen sind, erst dann lernt man den österreichischen, spitzfindigen, intelligenten, vielschichtigen und ironischen humor zu lieben. oh ja, und man vermisst ihn. daher also > der brenner ist ein wahrer genuss, eine insel der seeligen.

hm. jetzt reichts aber. obwohl, tja, die kameraführung ist sehr sehr schön, teilweise sind close ups von gegenständen und handlungen nicht zum aushalten, ich hab tatsächlich ein paar mal nicht hinschaun können. die musik der sofa surfers ist schön skurril, wie die handlung an sich eigentlich, wunderbarst. schräg. göttlich. bevor ich mich hier jetzt verliere noch ein manko: 2 1/2 STUNDEN !!! sagt mal ihr lieben ... das ist doch viel zu kurz !!!!!!!

saturday morning

2009-02-21T10:30:00.003+01:00

2009-01-09T23:45:00.007+01:00

since time went by and winter holidays were over, i was leaving towards stuttgart.
my last night was filled with wine, talkin and a very spontanious and unexpected visit to some kind of turkish bar. which was great. i felt like i was left in 1001 nights for some hours. beautiful. and even thou i'm happy to be back to germany, it made me sad to leave all that well-known and beloved shit behind again.

i finished my final thesis, i printed the whole fuck, i met some friends, i rearranged my old cd-collection (and laughed my ass off about the weird music i used to listen to) and finally i started workin on some new music-stuff but ... i simply can't wait to get back to stuttgart, turn on my computer and start with that new animation i was thinkin about since some days.

2008-11-12T17:39:00.005+01:00

last weekend sabine and i hosted kike from spain (well actually from columbia).
was really funny, he brought us a present for hosting him, which is a clock called ygor.
well, there r a lot of stories about ygor, i think i'll put up an own ygor blog as soon as i have some time - cuz ygor will always change shape and style ;)
(more about that later ^^)

ah yeah well, kike - was a really great weekend, we got totally lost in southpark, the horrible german food, stealin posters, going out, and all that fun stuff :)

and here is, what daimler said about it ^^

music's in my heart

2008-11-02T21:57:00.004+01:00

.. since i'm always better in tellin my feelings by puttin out certain tracks, i'll just post this one.
der den's betrifft wirds begreifen.

listen now
i am afraid of everything
when you told me i was special
it was the happiest moment for a long long time

listen now
i keep forgetting your name
when you laid down on the kitchen floor
it was the happiest moment for a long long time

we seek new seed now
some revolutionary
and you will never get a hold
we seek and we will find
reason to stay alive
the price has never been this low

listen now
i was afraid of everything
then I straightened my head up
it was the happiest moment for a long long time

new animation !

2008-10-29T14:57:00.005+01:00

here it is ;)
i am still trying to figure out, how to upload this huge file in an appropriate way, cuz on youtube, the quality sucks (obviously), and i can't open it from my webspace. will figure it out somehow.

2008-10-05T20:06:00.003+02:00

well, i'm kinda sick, i came back to germany with a horrible headache, and now i'm lying in my bed.
i saw "berlin calling" in the movie theatre today, a great one which wanted me to go dance, do some visuals or whatever right away.
but since i'm in bed with some mc-donalds stuff, i decided to open ableton for the first time and play around with it.
this is what came out :D

i know it's just ridiculous, but i'm glad i did something else besides watchin tv-shows or readin a book this time :D

austrian elections

2008-10-02T03:13:00.003+02:00

ok.

i just have to post something about that topic.

i still can't believe, that such a huge amount of austrians got that fucked up in their brains, that they decided to show their anger about our last government via givin their vote to right-populist parties.

i guess austria deserves everything which is comin now, althou i would love to slap every single one in the face for givin assholes like haider and strache one third of all given votes.

for the first time, since i moved away from austria, i really feel ashamed for my heritage.

temp festival was so nice .. just what i needed to take a break. beautiful weather, ok .. some rain too ;) - very good music, doing visuals, meeting people, sitting at the danube holding my tired feet in the water and talk about life and love ;) perfect mix .. and way too short ..

waiting for the train to the countryside ;)

wandering around, searching for the festival + eating icecream

then finally .. found the perfect spot for our tent and our pirate-blanket

the perfectly clouded sky before the rain started

last weekend all of us went to berlin, cuz m.a.r.k.13 opened a new office there !
it was great fun, even though some of us were quite wasted after a while ;)
but we had enough reasons to party, and i think all of us dreamed for a second that we would work in berlin, not in stuttgart :P

urban art forms festival 08

2008-06-05T19:18:00.006+02:00

so ..
last weekend i went to austria to go the urban art-festival, which is an electronic festival somewhere in the austrian countryside..
there were loads of great djs / artists coming to show up, i was very eager to see / hear em (like digitalism, oxia, chris liebing, .. )
the whole festival was just a great great great and wonderful experience..

first of all, i really enjoyed it, to see all the guys & girls from graz again =)
(we all got quite emotional about that ;) )

second of all, i loved the music and the visuals (of course)

third of all - i was one of the artists ..
this was awesome, eva & i were doing visuals on the drum&bass stage (which wasn't really our thing) and on the afterhour-stage in the morning ^^
it was so nice, all of us almost had 3 days without sleep :)
(and of course - it was great fun, to run around backstage, with all the artists i personally like, see them, talk to them for real, and enjoy the cheap food & booze there ;) )

greeeaaaat !!!!

laura & dorian - rockin ;)
me - officially being an artist :D :D

chiaroscura on the leather-couches backstage ;)

next year agaaaain :)

daily life

2008-05-28T22:37:00.005+02:00

my last days have been quite busy, there's loads to do for our current project at work, but since i seriously love what i'm doing right now - i kinda enjoy working on it ^^

the square where the m.ar.k.13 office is located:

last weekend, margit & markus were visiting stuttgart, so we had a little bbq in the park.
we stayed there till the next day ;) and had the chance to cut the trousers of a guy who was celebrating his last night before his marriage ;)

woohooo

2008-05-25T23:47:00.003+02:00

today i had some hours of learning how to drive my bike ^^
it was quite fun, i was totally afraid at the beginning, but linus talked me thru some exercises, and i even managed to do them in front of 2 policemen, so .. i feel kinda good about that ^^
i also managed to drive from the very north of stuttgart to the very south .. and .. it was awesome !!!
i m sooo happy ^^

i did it !!!

2008-05-23T00:01:00.004+02:00

i found + bought myself a motor-scooter :)
now i just have to learn to drive it properly ;)

decisions..

2008-05-12T22:06:00.006+02:00

wow. sometimes i'm thinkin and worrying so much about my future, but suddenly it seems kinda easy to me..
i had a long weekend to think, and i made a decision for my near future !
i will stay in stuttgart for a while after i finished my internship.
i will take the job, my boss offered me,
i will give myself a little rest from re-starting in a new environment all over again for a while.

i think i need it, to get some base, since graz is no longer a serious option for me. sounds good, sounds solid, sounds .. right :)

WOW !

2008-05-09T16:08:00.005+02:00

my project is developing, still soo proud ^^
and more good news - toady my boss offered me a job after my internship *clapclap*

proud !

2008-05-08T22:48:00.006+02:00

of myself .. not kidding :)
this new project is the reason for that new feeling :P

dubidu

2008-05-05T23:30:00.005+02:00

so, quite a long time without posting.
well, work is keepin me busy, and afterall, my life seems to suck lately, anyhow - i was even more pleased ;) that i had a visitor again (clapclap)

yü-shin was spending the weekend here, and it was reaaally nice ^^
like the good old times, just better .. or as a short animated movie was teaching us:
like me, only better (thx to prozac ^^)

hm, well, none of u guys probably knows what i'm talking about (except u yüsl ;) ), so here is some more useful information..
from 1.-6.5. the festival of animated film takes place in stuttgart, which is just great ..
i got a festival-pass for free and could enjoy whatever film i wanted to see, and it was really impressive, motivating, inspiring, ...
(not to forget about the free-drinks and the get-together with all the guys from work ;) )

besides that, yü-shin and i just enjoyed some lazy hours in the sun, a lot of talking and .. a trip to the zoo of stuttgart (althou we didn't enter it, cuz they refused to accept our student-cards, so we refused to give them our money .. tsssssss)

our zoo-visit a.k.a würstelstandl-visit

2008-04-24T02:40:00.004+02:00

i just was able to watch my skin gettin goose bumps and cuz of that, seeing how the little hairs on my arm were moving O_o

i might need sleep.
but this is so fascinating ^^

last week

2008-04-24T01:59:00.008+02:00

hm. i kinda don't have time anymore to post anything.
stupid "normal-adult-life & work" ;)
keeps me from wastin time on my blog ^^

so well, last week ruben was visiting me in stuttgart.
we had a great time, best evidence for that -
we didn't even had time to take pictures ;)

so, those few we managed to take are here:

we went to the "frühlingsfest" with michal -
which is somehow like "oktoberfest", just smaller.
i had the first rollercoaster-ride in my life (and almost wet my pants cuz i was scared as hell .. yep .. i just admitted it .. )

woohoo - greetings from austria :)
(i tried them - delicious)

and pics from one of the many legendary nights (and loong mornings ^^) at my favourite minimal-club

you shouldn't ...

2008-04-20T23:46:00.008+02:00

things u shouldn't do ...

if u r stylin thru the city with ur bf, and u don't really know the area where u guys r wandering around, then ..

u shouldn't enter a bar -
just because it has the same name like ur boyfriend ...

u shouldn't take a seat -
even thou the waiter looks kinda weeeird with his cute earring ...

u shouldn't tell ur bf that u have to go straight (hoho) to the bathroom -
after u discovered the advertising for queeeer beer ...

u shouldn't seriously go to the bathroom -
and leave ur bf alone with queer beer and the horny waiter ...

and well .. just imagine u r the boyfriend in this part of the story, and ur girl just left u alone in a gay-bar to go to the bathroom .. then ..

u shouldn't play with ur iphone and give it to the waiter -
when he is asking u if he can take a look

and u should definitely not have a picture of u and your mate as the start-up-pic on ur iphone, where both of u r just wearing swimmingpants ...

so, just to call out a warning to all the guys i can imagine right now, being in this very same position (haha - nasty joke again) - and yes markus, especially u ..
if u don't want a cutie-waiter in a gay bar makin a move on u, u should mark my words..

(and btw markus - i'm takin u to this gay bar for sure when u r visitin me :P )

rainy weekend

2008-04-06T15:09:00.007+02:00

some vector-stuff-work

those days with too much rain and too much time to think in circles are bad for our mood - there should be a rule or smth, that weekends have to be sunny and happy.
anyway ..
besides gettin depressed i also managed to enjoy 2 nice evenings of wine-drinkin, talkin, dancin,..
on friday we met up at sabine's place and did some bar-hopping afterwards, and on saturday we went out to see chicks on speed live ! (woohoo)

cheers to the girls-electroclash-nation ;)

balance

2008-04-04T00:27:00.008+02:00

warum gibt es bloss
realismus oder naivitaet.
zynismus oder romantik.
sarkasmus oder harmonie.

und warum tragen wir nicht anstatt von haut und kleidung einfach gedanken die uns ausmachen, wie einfach waer da die selektion.
und ja, auch absolut oede, schon klar.

ist wohl sowas wie das ewige streben nach dem
was man selbst nicht hat.
locken anstatt glattem haar.
keine sommersprossen anstatt gepunktetem gesicht.
naive zufriedenheit anstatt depressiver schlaflosigkeit ;)

my last week

2008-03-31T00:31:00.008+02:00

i basically spent all of my last week with workin, comin home late and sleepin (cuz i was so tired from work..). i almost went nuts, cuz i didn't had any time for myself and my stuff to do, so i bet i was quite a bitch during the week to everyone.. *blush*
but after every friday there's a weekend :)
lilly was visiting me, i was so happy about that.. i totally forgot how nice it is to spend loads of time with u my girl :)

we went out with dave, tiziana & benni on friday, were lazy on saturday and enjoyed stuttgart-city and the sunshine on sunday..

my weekend

2008-03-23T17:57:00.007+01:00

after 3 days of chicken soup i finally was fit again, so i went out on saturday night.
first sabine and i met for a drink, but the bar we went to (bravo charlie), happened to be a snob/posh/above25-bar, which was kinda ironic at the beginning, but after a while we felt totally weird there and just went on to another bar ;)
later at night all of us met up at rocker for some nice minimal techno.
it was great fun, and i finally stayed + danced till the morning and went home while stuttgart got covered in snow .. very romantic ^^

my shitty day

2008-03-19T15:48:00.003+01:00

damn, i'm sick and this sucks hard..
after having nice diner + wine with some friends yesterday, i just crawled into bed, to find myself in pain, unable to sleep and with fever..
so after waiting for 2h at the doc (and paying a 10€ fee) today, i was sent home with the following orders:
don't go to work, stay in bed
inhale hot salty water at least 4x a day
eat chicken soup

(i'm starting to think that those germans are crazy .. )

so, here i am, being bored and in pain, waiting for my luck to turn, in order to enjoy this long easter weekend :(
meanwhile - an awesome video from youtube for u guys..
(if u r somehow working in the video-editing field, u will love it for sure .. i think it's a great piece of work.. again my boss showed it to me ^^)

my work ll

2008-03-18T20:11:00.007+01:00

2nd day at work and i still enjoy it ^^
i also start to get used to my daily walk (2 x 20 min) ;)
i had a shocking moment when i started yesterday and entered the bathroom for the very first time.. look at that:

i think i came back from there with quite a nice face, cuz my boss was laughin his ass off ;)
and of course it's just a joke, our bathroom isn't really watched by videocam ^^

this morning - smoky subway-station..

aaand .. my working space ;)

my work

2008-03-17T22:54:00.005+01:00

so today was my first day at work..
it's awesome, there's nothing negative about it.
the people are nice, relaxed and funny ^^ and my first job (some after-effects-animation stuff) is basically .. great fun .. i couldn't have cought a better place.
the only thing i really have to get used to is the fact, that i'm working all day long..
i'm back at my place at about 7 pm, which is .. late .. considering the fact that i'm too tired to do anything else then just eat + go to bed :D
but i bet i will get used to this lifestyle, although i have to say .. i miss miss miss my student life .. ;)

so here's something funny for all the guys who r currently exploring the serious world out there ..
( i got introduced to this by my boss this morning ^^ )

my 2nd night in stuttgart

2008-03-16T13:23:00.003+01:00

my 2nd night in stuttgart was very nice as well ;)
us cs-guys met up in an irish pub to celebrate st. patricks day, after a few drinks we went to some other clubs. we finally stayed at kellerklub, talked (or more likely shouted) and danced.
i had the chance to meet my first american ever and get rid of loads of stereotypes, glad of that ^^, and get to know people from uruguay, italy and turkey as well. all of us ended up sitting on the stairs to the subway, having a last talk before we all went home in the morning, i really enjoyed this night + the people!

my first night in stuttgart ;)

2008-03-15T21:04:00.007+01:00

so, friday-night was my first going-out-in-stuttgart.
it was nice ^^
i met with some guys from couchsurfing, who i never saw before and we went to die Röhre, a club which is basically a tunnel in a little hill. it was very nice, reminded me of Dom im Berg in Graz. the drum&bass party there was really cool, we danced the night away..
