the second month of the year.

February has turned out to be a really busy month, hence the lack of updates.

Foreign visitors.
Running away to Munich for the weekend.
Starting a new job and discovering that I like teaching small kids.
Many German movies.
Meeting Nick Hornby.
Receiving a Christmas card featuring a monkey wearing a Santa hat.
Seeing Rocky Votolato.
The following books:

• Murakami - South of the border East of the sun
• Fowles - The French Lieutenant's woman
• Beckett - Waiting for Godot
• Murakami - The wind-up bird chronicle

Listening to Gunmoll a bit too much.
Trying to master the art of learning 3 languages at the same time.

February 2008 - a mix CD

I made a mix CD and thought I'd share. I made an awesome cover, but I'm too lazy to take a photo now, so it'll have to wait.

On going to concerts

andrea: I'm on a compulsory concert break. I go to whatever, but im usually not very excited about it. I go just because. And i enjoy it but, you know, not in a crazy teenage "omg i saw kris roe" way.
Clemens: Haha. Maybe thats better.
andrea: NO! I wanna be like that again.
Clemens: Is there any band that would make you go like that now?
andrea: Yes, but they've broken up.
Clemens: Concert-mid-life-crisis

This conversation was motivated by the order in which I decided to stick concert tickets on the walls.
