Something like all the changing seasons rolled into a single film. Washed over with all my favourite bits of the year. I really enjoyed it, please go find the album and I'm sure you guys will too.
If you could ever get as close to picking out the images in my head for a perfect teenage romance, this is pretty close. Sounds a bit sick to say that, but as a series of moments it clings perfectly, just that warm feeling as I fell asleep.
Juno MacGuff: As far as boyfriends go, Paulie Bleeker is totally boss. He is the cheese to my macaroni. And, I know that people are supposed to fall in love before they reproduce, but... I guess normalcy isn't really our style.
It only snowed twice when I was in uni, the first time was the best, I ran out with my flat mates and played the typical snowball fight, after being downed by a rock inside a snowball I fell over and lay down in the snow, breathing heavy from my running around like a 12 year old and smoking like a 64 year old. I breathed in and the air was pure ice, filling my lungs with some crispness I hadn’t felt in a long time. I closed my eyes and wondered if this was how I wanted to die, that crisp feeling of being numb from all my limbs to the very ends. The sordid ring of my mobile broke the moment, it was Lana and she wanted to eat some food.

Sat Nav games,
looking for petrol in the middle of the city,
Continuing to speak more random German, practice makes perfect,
Watching my predictions come true,
Spending an hour waiting in the KVR only to find that I was in the wrong office.
Spending 5 mins in the aforementioned KVR sorting out the paper work and then leaving speaking German.
Zoe- for reading my words- miss putting cake in ur face
The 80's were a pretty vivid place for me, I remember the most random facts, but that is for another post. The 90's is where I found some of myself and then left it out to grow out of date on the side before University and work set me free. Waking up on Sonnestag in the morning, the light isn't cascading through the clouds as it was yesterday, but I'm not complaining as its bright enough for me to save some cash on the electricity bills.
A few days ago I said to my friends I had burnt a paper with her name written on it, I suppose this is true in some ways, I made another decision after a month of much realisations. Baker was right in that we don't change much beyond 25 years of age, but then he's wrong because even post 25 we can still be malleable like any good length of steel. But for what I wanted to say, a few posts ago I wrote that untying the feelings in my mind was a full time occupation, but this has changed a bit more, it's more of a case that untying what drives us and motivates us the key to understanding all this. And then to let it all go.
I'm not saying letting go of your motivations, but to let go of the neuroses and the 'experiences' which hold you back. A different friend of mine Rich, he talked about the comfort zone, this isn't what he meant, but this is my interpretation.
Love you all my Beautiful Eggs.
Emily kept stirring her coffee, it was still too hot and she didn't want to burn her tongue. Instead she lit up another and hoped the cancer was eating her up from the inside. She was skinny but didn't feel it, her ribs were showing but she ate so much every day. She closed her eyes hoping that everybody would disappear from in front of her and the world would be quiet again.
She sipped her coffee and it was still too hot and she stuffed her earphones into her ear and played some music. The world fell silent and from the aether and the world was filled instead with strings playing Bach. She stirred her coffee some more.
Emily had light brown hair in the summer which turned a dark oak in the winter, her finger nails were painted the same oak colour and she was rather regretting her choice of coffee in such a warm day. Her father had been warning her of the day when the world would collapse and it would start with a warm spring time in the middle of the city. It was already June and the sun was at its highest, the people on their lunch breaks milling around looking for somewhere to sit down and eat. Emily wasn't that hungry but still attacked her muffin made by some poor student who had come to England hoping to get their degree but not intending to be working in a franchise coffee sweatshop. Emily hoped those sweatshops would fashion a dress she would want to buy.

my new pet name for Jose,
sweetcorn being the best looking fruit in the world
walking on a frozen river towards a castle, nearly cracking the ice on the aforementioned river,
Making a work zombie film in Munich, there's mileage in it all.
Ordering bread in Germs, slowly getting there.
Finally getting a teapot
Lily cooking me luncheon, was very nice,
talking utter trash to Baker because I know he loves it,
getting Leslie to commit to coming here and sampling some beers,
Kinneav hopefully bringing the wife here sometime, will enjoy their egg faces,
Janet should realise how much we are alike,
Daffy Duck was always fucking better,
not rising to the bait,
the pretzel girl with the withered arm in the Hofbrauhaus.
Although I have a love for art and a strong appreciation for it. I'm not and never will be an expert. In the past listening to my dearest cousin Katy about art and photography, trying to talk at her level of understanding is one of the things that keep my love for the world alive. With a paint stroke, a camera, a pencil stab, whatever technique is available, the artist wants to say something, everything or maybe nothing.
Usually I can spend a few minutes make my mind up, with some understanding, look at a piece of art and make judgements about what it is about or rather what message is being chosen to be shown. That was until I went to the Kandinsky exhibition at the Lenbachhaus (which is now my favourite gallery). Each of his works reminded me of my friends in the more creative industries, the wood blocks at times were very Telegramme, the simplicity of later things more of the Bodhi, even strong and plain structures from the heart reminded me of my architect friends. They have a bit to go before I can say that they are the clear descendants (because they won't be).
But to get to the point, the single painting that vexxed me was Abstract VII, it caught my eye with its harsh and difficult geometry so I decided to listen to the words from the audio hand guide I was given.
'the yellow triangle touching the blue circle is as important as Michaelangelos touching of God'
I wait for people to google this picture and decide for themselves, I still haven't worked it out if Kandinsky was talking in truths. I suppose the fact I told everyone about this since I have seen it proves maybe he was telling the truth.
Have a wonderful January my beautiful eggs.
I thought it would be painful to breathe in that day, not only could I see my own breath I could see the steam rising from my hands as I took my gloves off. My hands quickly went cold like a cup of tea that had been left out in a storm. It hasn't been this cold in my life ever and I'm enjoying it. I cough and splutter my way through life but feel most alive when you're at the end of some tether. The cold cuts you up like nothing before and then you look at the road in front of you and you try walking along it. It's covered in snow, shaking the trees that line it a little and every so often more snow flicks down.
I just imagine Ian being photographed in this kind of weather with a cigarette in his mouth, probably a pack of Marlboro.

being terrified by Calista Flockhart
talking to Poki, I hope she's as fiesty in person.
Understanding enough of the people all day
Baker.
H&M for saving my life.
Realising that there are no vegatables in Germany.
On a side note, schwinehaxen is one of the best foods in the world.
Being sick of fucking stairs.
Having a bad day and bringing it back with a ride on the underground.
Not buying teapots for extortionate prices.
X-Club- was well a good night if only I was lost for an hour trying to find the fucking place- Iphone google maps would be the answer.
Learning Columbia is as dangerous as I thought.
Greek girls can be called Theo as well, but to remember the full name well we shall see.
Hofbrauhaus and the ompah band, pretty neat dudes.
The disney castle in Fussen- very nice but cold!!!!!!!!!!!
Asking 'sprechen Sie Englisch' to the American dude that was going to let me into the place I was supposed to be going to in anyway to meet some random English speakers.
Freaking out the french guy and his son with my almost Bayerish style talking and loudness.
Creating new words and phrases over a mass with Bakersfield 90210
Learning aufladen and how useful this word would be.
It's nice to finally move into my new flat, I've only been rushing about for a few hours with a break of dinner with some friends (and making another one even if we didn't speak the same Chinese), but the place already feels like home. My words are often cryptic and without any idea of where to start, but I will have to say many thanks to the Landlord, not only is he a brilliant chap, he left me a fridge full of cheese and other food stuffs. An email will be heading his way swiftly to confirm these consumables are for me to consume. Awaiting the first visitors Lily and Baker next week to sample the hard wooden floor.
People keep complaining about getting old. I stopped complaining and my life changed, really loving the adventure of life.
