Nächste Woche findet das DMY International Design Festival Berlin statt. Mit dabei auch Carrothead, ein deutscher Designer, mit Tischen, Hockern und Gestellen, die einfach und ohne Werkzeug zusammenstecken kann. Sehr praktisch - und gutaussehend... (die Möbel! *grins*)
-----------

Among a lot of creative and talented people is also a young German designer, Carrothead, who shows his collection of tables, stools and shelves that can be assembled without any tools - very handy! Plus, they just look pretty damn good... *smiles*

Strassenmusik, gute Strassenmusik, ist ein Teil des Soundtracks meines Lebens. Gibt es etwas schöneres, als durch eine Strasse zu schlendern, einen schönen Gedanken zu denken und plötzlich ein Rhythmus, eine hinreissende Melodie zu hören? Kamera ab, hier kommt das Leben!

Street music, good street music, is part of the soundtrack of my life. Isn't it wonderful to stroll along a street, think a nice thought and suddenly hear a rhythm, a captivating melody? Camera rolling, here comes my life!

Same deep water as me
Swim out to the ocean
Drown your thought out at sea
And dip your hands in the water
The same deep water as me
You've been watching for cloudbursts
You've been praying for rain
Drench your soul in the water
Cleanse your heart of the stain
Cleanse your heart of the stain
The river of love
Flows deep through the night
Rolls you in with the waves
Drags you out with the tides
Swim out to the ocean
And drown our thoughts out at sea
And dipped your hands in the water
The same deep water as me
The same deep water as me

Ich kann nicht aufhören, dieses Lied zu hören... // I can't stopf listening to this song...
How to build a home
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust.

Wieder mal ein Wochenende auf Balkonien.... doch wieso weg, wenns zuhause so schön ist?! Und dann die Nächte auf dem Balkon: ein Martini, Kerzen, laue Luft und gute Musik, die Sterne, ein bisschen nachdenken, ein wenig träumen... hmmm.

Another weekend on my balcony... but why go away when it's so beautiful at home?! And then there are the nights on my lovely little balcony: a glass of Martini, candles, balmy air and some good music, the stars, the thoughts the dreams.... hmmm.

... Kevin McKidd *seufz*. Lang ists her aber ich habe mich wieder einmal so richtig auf den ersten Blick verliebt. Dieses Lächeln, diese Blicke, die Intensität *augeningenussverdreh*. Zum Glück habe ich mich entschlossen, wieder Grey's Anatomy zu schauen. Ich hätte sonst glattweg etwas verpasst!

Gewitter / Thunderstorms
Ich LIEBE Gewitter. Liebe die Intensität, die konzentrierte Dramatik mit schweren Regentropfen, Blitzen, Donnergrollen. Wie oft bin ich schon barfuss und klatschnass durch New York oder den Breitsch gerannt oder (als wir noch kleine Racker waren) mit meinem Bruder in den Unterhosen in einem wilden Regentanz durch die Gegend geflitzt... Gewitter klären die Luft und die Stimmung und lassen einen erleichtert und erfrischt zurück. Hier der Soundtrack dazu...
-----------
I LOVE thunderstorms. Love their intensity, how they unleash all their drama on such a brief point in time and space, the heavy raindrops, the flashes, the growling thunder... How often have I run home in New York or here in Bern with naked feet and wet to my bones feeling free and alive. And when my brother and I were little we used to dance in the rain in our underpants. Oh, what joy! ;P... Thunderstorms clear the air and whatever mood you're in and leave you relieved and refreshed. Here's the soundtrack to go with it...

Solidarität / Solidarity
(picture via flickr)
Ich gebe es offen zu, ich arbeite lieber mit Männern zusammen als mit Frauen. Ob auf der Sportredaktion oder in der Kreation, Männer waren/sind - Klischees hin oder her - oft lockerer, direkter, relaxter. Man, dass heisst frau, fühlt sich viel weniger schnell angegriffen. Zumindest ich jedenfalls.
Hier ein interessanter Artikel über die (fehlende) Frauensolidarität bei der Arbeit.
-----------
I have to admit I'd rather work with men than with women. Be it at the news paper or in the ad agency I worked, the men were/are - all clichés aside - often more relaxed, more direct and "fun" to be around. I've always felt less "attacked" with them... (now what does that say about me?! ;))
Here's an interesting article about (the missing) solidarity among women at work.
