Anonymity

If you call me and have your phone number suppressed, so that I am not able to identify the caller, then chances are that I am not picking up. If you call me, then I must assume that you call me for one of three reasons. You call me to discuss a private matter. In [...]

Vokuhila

Dear Munich’s Youth, Mullets already looked shitty in the eighties (go ask your parents), and they sure as hell haven’t improved since then. So, please, don’t put them on your head.  

On Friendship

You know who your real buddies are when you are foolishly trying to move a mattress that has the dimensions and weight of the Juan de Fuca plate by manpower only and are in desperate and immediate need of a motorized vehicle at 9:30 p.m. Or when you are moving and more than fourteen helpful [...]

“Negster hoild Shkoihoads”

Ich kann nur mutmaßen, daß damit der Scheidplatz gemeint war, war dies doch die nächste Haltestelle. Wie sich das dem Ortsunkundigen erschließen soll, bleibt mir ein Rätsel. Bitte bitte, liebe MVV, tauscht die alten U-Bahnen aus oder rüstet sie wenigstens mit der Sprecherin aus den neuen C-Zügen aus!

Durchsatz

Einer ziemlich komplizierten Umrechnungsaktion war es geschuldet, daß die Eine mir einen Betrag von rund 50 Euro ebendiestat, nämlich schuldete. Das Geld gab sie mir Sonntag abend in bar. Sie meinte dann noch “Das reicht für die nächsten anderthalb Wochen (die wir in München verweilen werden, Anm. v. mir), nicht wahr?”  Vorhin (es ist jetzt [...]

Genderidiocity

As I mentioned before, I am currently working at the BMW-Plant in Munich, which is kind of a new condition for me. Mandatory presence of my tired early morning self had not bothered me since I left school, so after two weeks now my body (and mind, mind you) is still acclimatizing to the new [...]

Big City Life

Not so great accshully Emma, of course, had to show up when I was planning to go to Munich. Last Saturday I boarded the train towards the new home for the next six weeks only to get as far as one station. According to the crew another train had hit some trees that had been [...]

Protected: Geheime Chefsache

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Crash

Read: The abiding, distinctive feature of all crashes, whether in stock prices, housing values, or hit-TV-show ratings, is that they startle but don’t surprise. When the euphoria subsides, when the volatile graph lines of excitability flatten and then curve down, people realize, collectively and instantly (and not infrequently with some relief), that they’ve been expecting [...]

Erbsenabdeckung

Es zeugt generell von einer schlechten Idee, zu versuchen, eine Matratze, in der Grundfläche von französischen Maßen, in der Dicke eher an die Oberarme eines schottischen Caber Tossers gemahnend und genauso schwer (wie der ganze Schotte, nicht nur seine Arme) zu zweit und ohne fahrbaren Untersatz den Berg hinauf zu transportieren. An der Stelle dann [...]
