i went through a revolving door today¹.
it was rotating so slowly, i kept fearing i didn’t have enough food and water to survive.

1. the automatic, electric type that is common in malls etc. [↩]

would you consider buying a condoms that are called "fun explosion"?
would you buy any condom with the name "explosion" in it?
which would you prefer - fun explosion or family package condoms?
 
i’m not kidding: durex fun explosion

(saw it in the grocery store the other day)

this is one of my first attempts to use hugin in conjunction with autopano-SIFT:

it seems like a good piece of (open-source) software.
i think i’m keeping it.

atrabilious, hackled up, huffy, irascible, irritable, nervous, peevish, petulant, testy, ...
it’s nice there are so many words for one state of being.
i’ve been getting more and more irritable over the past few days, and now i’m just an inch from the point where the wrong person crossing my path is likely to suffer injury.

however, if you’re reading this, there’s a 99% chance that this doesn’t apply to you.

at first i thought it would just be yet another dancing video, but i was thrilled after 55 seconds.

55 seconds at the latest.

WE WERE RIGHT!
we finally have proof: armin must have been the model for the prinzenrolle¹ prince!

the crown would perfectly fit his haircut, and that smile is so much alike, i can hardly tell them apart in the photo ;-)

1. kind-of like a big chocolate-cream oreo [↩]

last summer, lisi brought me a special souvenir from her south-america-travels: original prime peruvian llama milk chocolate.
i had it sitting on my desk for some time and didn’t dare to open it (i also have a t-shirt from new zealand that i haven’t worn once, because i don’t want it to wear off...), but finally tasted it this spring.

it turns out peruvian chocolate blocks are somewhat bigger than they are here... in fact, they’re so big you can hide behind them ;-)

thanks again, lisi!
