7 weeks

after seven weeks in the u.s. (four weeks philadelphia, 3 weeks florida), i'm going back to germany today. i had a great time and i'm definitely coming back.
pictures might follow.

latest movies

in two weeks i've seen 5 movies:

• doubt - ok
• the curious case of benjamin button - man, is this movie long!
• the day the earth stood still - just another catastrophe film
• seven pounds - foreseeable
• valkyrie - i fell asleep

some movies haven't started yet in germany, so i can't tell any details.

shopping in the u.s.

is fun for a european.

christmas in new york

Lots of Love from Philadelphia

bush in philadelphia

two days after obama's visit in philly, president bush was in town. he was even waving at us. the white thing in the car are his gloves.

every time i see the policemen it makes me laugh.

brown and white

while it's snowing outside the first time, i'm having my wednesday afternoon chocolate cake. have a nice evening everyone!

blog abstinence

the reason for my blog abstinence during the last weeks is my second blog. since september i have a kind of business blog which i won't link here as it is in german. this new blog and other activities consume a lot of time. but stay tuned... more is coming up.

windy fall

we had a wonderful kite festival at the weekend.

once

last week a week i saw "once" (wiki) - an irish film from 2007, which i highly recommend (especially for women). watch the trailer if you're interested.
...and now i have this earworm which got stuck in my head. the song ("falling slowly") even got an oscar.
