Happy Holiday Season

If it were to the discretion of a renown but here not named German retail chain, the Advent season began exactly yesterday. Had to drag the One away from the cookie-stand by force as we were standing in front of them in light summer clothing. I guess next week they will stock chocolate easter bunnies. [...]

Hacked

You might get a message that my site might have been hacked.  Yes, it has been.  The problem is a general vulnerability on the side of my hoster, who has several servers affected and seems unable to fix this. Until they get rid of them pests or I find a new hoster (suggestions?), I will [...]

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.

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 [...]
