luftstation

Dsc00734yesterday evening i went to see the luftstation, the newest production from the öfföff-team.

from a competition in the kulturagenda/bund i won a VIP-package: i was able to mount the luftstation with the artists, which was really a great experience, although it only lasted for two minutes or so. then all the winner had some time to talk with the artists and learn some more on how the amazing steel-sculpture was built. all in all, it was a great evening on the gurten

because you were allowed to take pictures i managed to take some shots during the performance, some of them turned out quite nice (although wiggly through the long exposure). you can take a look at them over at the luftstation-set on flickr.

if you got the time, go and see it, it’s absolutely worth it (and on the gurten you might even manage to see it for free from the backside…). öfföff are touring through switzerland until the end of the year, so there’s really no excuse for missing it.

dont’t panic!

monday night i went to see the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy (with a towel). i finished the book on the sunday before, so i had all fresh in my mind. i thought i will be disappointed with the movie, ’cause let’s face it, there’s just not enough time to fit all the gags from the book into one movie (sequel anyone?).

nonetheless i enjoyed the movie a great bit (my flatmates rita and dan also did), it’s very fast paced and chockfull of references to the book, but also chockfull of new ideas, some of them really brilliant. if you go and see the movie, wait through the credits, in the end, there’s another entry of the guide for you to see (warning: spoiler behind the link).

if you’ve seen the film, then those extremely fast 42 games will be even funnier than they are already!

my movie collection

since i borrowed star wars VI to VI and the godfather I to III from andi and karin they asked me what movies they can borrow from me. because my dvd-collection is rather big [1] it was easier for me to just upload an export from my library in dvdpedia [2] to the web.

if you want to see what movies i got, then you can step over to /movies.

if you’d like to borrow one, just drop me a line.

[1] 117 pieces at the moment, two of them are missing…

[2] another one of the rare pieces of software i bought.

it’s gone, since i upgraded to tiger

picture of the week 23 (or so)

this week i got a letter with the picture below in it. some photographer took pictures of the people running at the gp. included was a payment order for 12.80 chf. i don’t think i’m gonna pay 13 bucks for a picture of me pulling up my pants, i’m gonna spend the same amount of bucks to a ticket to the movies tonight and a new towel :-)

NetnewsWire

i finally decided that it’s worth upgrading NetnewsWire to the full version, mostly because of the searching feature and the bloglines synching. i just downloaded the demo now, which will work for 30 days from now on. anoyne else want to pay for that nice piece of software? because when we pay more than one license, then each one pays 5$ less, which makes it worth that post.

leave a comment or send me an email so we can license-pool…

consumer frenzy

Threadlesssomg!

i just couldn’t resist. after stumbling over a link to the threadless t-shirts on waxy.org i ordered ten t-shirts from them, because i could not decide which ones to get, they’re all almost too cool not to buy. i got into a complete shopping frenzy, because all the t-shirts are only 10$ until june 6th. and because i really really love printed t-shirts i ended up maniacally clicking on the “add to cart” button.

could you have resisted, when you see a t-shirt with an ice bear on it? i guess you could have resisted, but not me…

ps: splint, one of the t-shirts is a gift for you, guess which one.

finisher!

i just finished the gp in a time of 1:11:21. i know i’ll have to stay in bed tomorrow, ’cause i’ve not been training very properly (i went for a 45′ run twice – not a week, but literally twice since the last gp) and am gonna have so sore muscles that i won’t be able to leave my bed. now i’m off for a massage.
