lasagna and essays.

Today is a feast again. So much lasagna and essay writing are simply a stunning combination which is why we decided to do exactly this. Now I am sitting in front of my screen, waiting like an antsy child for the meal to be ready. And I'm hungry. Terribly hungry. For those of you who have ever seen me in this state can tell that I am about to fly away only because of the speed and the acceleration my arms and jaws cause. I will rise and shine over the city with a smile of satisfaction on my lips that humbly hums: "Yes, yes, YEEEES!"

Metallica has become one of the bands I listen to most at the moment due to their fantastic new album. Sometimes it needs something like that to trigger the existing but forgotten affection for certain things in our life. The last time I wrote this was quite a while ago and that only shows how randomly rare such a 'happening' is.

Today, the workers in front of our house fixed the tram rails. Or better, the mess. For some (to me unknown) reason they lately decided to replace the asphalt leading the rails by thin lines of styrofoam. Yes, that's exactly what I thought too. Lasagna!!! Anyway, this stuff created such a mess in front of our house and is supposedly also bad for the environment that they filled the gaps today with new asphalt. Not enough (not that I am concerned but I feel for the people that are) that they waste money of taxpayers in order to keep the world's economy running, no, now they start to contradict themselves with infrastructure! Ah well, I don't understand a thing of what the workers did out there but I wanted to complain at least about something since the lasagna is still NOT ready. 10 minutes to go. I can do it. I am convinced. Now I need a nice pinch of perseverance. Right, that's it.

Lasagna's ready!
