life.

Life is good. Life has been good and that even though some of the passages seem to be plastered with hindrances and thresholds. The fact that I found an internship in Sydney with Amnesty International does certainly not belong to the sucky things that I am surrounded by every day such as missed opportunities, indifference and the dull feeling I sometimes carry around in my gaze.

My housemate Lars and two of my other friends have eventually finished setting up their exhibition and the vernissage took place last night. I truly enjoyed helping them with the finishing touches even though the difference in length of installation cables brought a lot of different, positive and negative feedback. Get over it Raphael... He asked me how this could have happened when having a couple of drinks at Kyra's and I told him a very nice story that was met with laughter and followed by a very uncertain face. It goes like this:

I was in charge of placing some additional pictures, hanging from the second, down to the first floor. I must admit I drank the night before cutting them so they were consequently uneven in length. Raphael then asked me why that had happened. I told him that Colm and I had placed bets on how close we could cut off the cable for the pictures free hand so they would resemble the model cable in length that Raphael had cut off himself. He believed me. In Germany we have a fairly retarded saying, namely: Stupid question, stupid answer!

The Europe Calling event also takes shape as time draws closer, giving me the chance to effectively spend my time with a topic I guessed to be terribly boring but in fact is not.

My new laptop allows me to be full part of the communication world which enables me to interact with everyone at any time, place and for a period I can choose myself. I find this simply stunning, considering the small and big troubles I have had lately with ICTs. I was actually loosing faith in technology for that matter. But then it came. My new metal thing! And everything works so much faster, nicer and more efficiently. In short - my standards are being met again. I don't know how anyone could have created something more beautiful, simpler and lighter, faster, thinner, black and silverisher, whitecabled, virility engendering, ..... than my new laptop (hinthintedyhinthint! Dear company that reconginzes itself here, please invite me for an interview for an internship or as Steve Job's assisstant in near future (preferably after I have finished my internship in Sydney) and all jobs that permit a paycheck higher than $200,000 per year or month, respectively).

This morning I woke up with the wonderful gift basket my mum sent me, containing plenty of sausage, a suit, shoes, wine, and, most importantly, Stifado, a well cooked and spiced Greek goulash. YUMM!!

Aight, cheers and g'day mate! Assimilation has started.
