the summer is magic

so we are going to basel tomorrow and i had a day off. there is no connection between these two things other than that i had a day off today and tomorrow we are going to basel. so anyway - the day was spent throwing away half my things, buying some boxes for the move, sleeping, experimenting in the kitchen, jogging (i don't know what is wrong with me - gym on monday, jogging on tuesday, jogging today again?), going to a spanish festival thingie in the city, missing the last pulpo (the lady kept smiling at me and shouting something along the lines of "magnana" - wtf), coming home, watching an elephant in a porcellan shop (literally - thank you german tv) and then passing out on the sofa wathing along came polly with the classic happy hippo story. and now i keep listening to this song for no apparent reason. all in all i would say, life is all right these days.

I finally gave in and we went to see the new terminator movie fantastically titled "terminator - salvation" in the turmpalast. I must say, the movie was quite good even if we had to imagine the surround sound as the cinema is not really capable of such fancy things as dolby surround or similar. the movie had pretty much everything in it you would expect from a terminator movie - which I will not list up here so not to spoil it. I was a bit unhappy though with the quite unethical ending, but fine. and yes, will probably buy the dvd when it comes out (right after the star trek dvd)

oh yes, and i am totally looking forward to the transformers and harry potter later this summer!!!

Terminator - salvation

That's it. With my luck I am currently not watching the terminator movie in the sneak. Instead I am sitting in the train back to frankfurt from berlin. Berlin was great. More or less 3 days with family & friends, sun & rain, east & west, the city is still a great place to visit. And so again I am coming back to frankfurt full of memories (hope my alzheimer's has a little mercy with me and I can keep some for longer this time ...) of people and places to visit. Next weekend it's our london weekend, but before going there I have some preparations to make, like organizing the painting of the flat and the tickets for the festival in spain for july. Sometimes I think it would actually pay off to hire someone to take care of these things for me. Or maybe to have a house elf like dobby. Which reminds me, the new harry potter movie is only a couple of weeks away - july 16th I think!!!
