Hello and Happy Friday!
I am shocked by the attacks in France. What the hell? Sometimes I have no words to express how I feel. This is all so shocking and leaves me speechless. It makes me sad and scared in an uncomfortable way. Can I still go out without fear? Will my son be able to go out without fear? What will happen next? Will it ever stop? So many innocent people died; what for? FUCK Terrorism! This needs to stop – but I guess it never will. It will only get worse. Sad things happened this week and I needed to shed a teardrop or two. On a lighter note, good things happened, too. Again, another week just flew by like the speed of light. Too fast. I celebrated my birthday on Tuesday and I am grateful for my family. Read on what else I have been up to if you would like. Enjoy!
Reading: I got a bunch of books for my birthday (yay!) and I started Affentanz by André Bergelt today. I am also re-reading The Insufferable Gaucho by Roberto Bolaño. Great, great book.
Watching: Le husband recommended the movie Occupy the Farm and I thought it is really worth watching. The movie By the Sea with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is finally available to rent or buy on iTunes. Yay! I enjoyed the movie last night. Highly recommended, though-provoking and a bit weird.
Learning/Discovering: There is an awesome exhibit at the Deutsche Kinemathek in Berlin that I would love to see. Looks amazing!
Have you heard of the MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM? Yaaay! What’s with the Pokemon Go App everybody talks about? Check out this article.
Thinking About: Death and dying. How fast it all goes sometimes. Today you talk to someone, tomorrow he or you could be gone. All it takes is one second. I will live more in the hear and now and enjoy life to the fullest no matter what. I am also working on seeing something positive in every tough situation. I love life – I love MY life. On my mind is also my upcoming studies at Carleton University. I am about to register for classes as soon as I am done with this post. Excited!!! I love university-life. Students, cafeterias, gallons of coffee, books, studying: this is my world. When I was in my 20s, I always said I want to go to school forever and study. Well, I do learn something new every single day, I just meant the university feeling. I kinda missed it, I reckon. So here I am, back on the roll starting in September. Assignments, Papers, bring it on!
Looking Forward to: My brother and Nadine Glitzer are coming here this weekend. Yay! Cannot wait to see them. We will go to Schlossplatzfest and the movie theater to see Independence Day: Resurgence. There is this weird tradition in my family to watch certain movies together; usually my father, my brother and I. Independence Day, Jurassic Park… movies like this. It will be great! This movie sounds fun, too. Watching the new Woody Allen Movie. It starts this Friday in the US! I love Woody Allen – I think all his movies are fantastic. My favorite so far is Annie Hall. Watch the trailer if you would like.
