Goodbye 2005 ...

... you weren't that bad actually, but also not that good. I tend to mix up dates anyway so it would be very unsafe to make a list of what I've done this year. But at least for a few things I'm sure they happened 2005:
I broke with my apprenticeship as language correspondent, had a few weeks off then (or months even), then started something like a "getting a job finally" course (and I'm still stuck in that), started working at a beergarden for increasing my pocket money, i dropped walking the old lady's fat dog finally after 4 years, I remember last new years eve I spent with my parents and had a very cool and funny webcam session (I'd like to do the same for today but I'm forced to go to a "party"). What else? I got kicked out from home, fell in love once, met 2 amazing people, broke up (not in that order), established the relationship to my parents and my sister, I got my driver licence, ahm... I'm leaving out the very negative stuff. For once.

This year's resolutions:
Find a job I like
Live
Beeing more positive
Smoke less
Drink less coffee
Stop making lists

If i'd do a top five of several things, it would be like this:

Top 5 Albums (disregarding date of release)

1. Woodface - Good Morning Hope
2. Tegan & Sara - This Business Of Art (still need to check out the other ones)
3. Damian Rice - O
4. K's Choice - Almost Happy (will always be in the top 5)
5. Ani Difranco - Little Plastic Castle

Top 5 Books
1. Dan Brown - The DaVinci Code
2. Dan Brown - Angels & Demons
3. Nick Hornby - About A Boy
4. Terry Pratchett - Time Thief
5. Joscha Sauer - Nicht Lustig 3 / Nichweihnachten

I don't know what else to chart honestly, I didnt see any movies that really impressed me... ow wait:

Top 5 TV series

1. Scrubs
2. Crossing Jordan
3. Desperate Houswives
4. Six Feet Under
5. Gilmore Girls (In fact I hate it but somehow it's always on when I'm bored)

Now I really run out of ideas... Maybe next year

So anyway, gotta get dressed for dinner, wish you all a good start for 2006,

Great Invention!

This one here is an amazing great invention:

It allows me to make coffee before I walk the dog (who keeps making a fool out of me pretending he needed to get out), and I just tried. It's not gone cold!

My dog is evil, especially when he knows I'm the only one at home, means only me can walk him. Well, I guess he's bored. Luckily now he's silent coz some kids experimented with fireworks and it scared him to death. I'm sure he doesn't feel like going out for the next 2 hours. (Yes I'm mean, but he is the one who wants to play games!!)

Me: "Now I went out with you into the blistering cold and you didn't even pee?! Whats the matter with you?"
He:


...how could I resist that look..?!

Shadowman

Any time tomorrow a part of me will die
And new one will be born
Any time tomorrow I'll get sick of asking why
Sick of all the darkness I have numb

Any time tomorrow I will try to do what's right
Making sense of all I can
And any time tomorrow I'll pretend to see the light ...

If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.

Seaside

Camargue, once again ... Max had loads of fun.

Wild Horse

This one was taken somewhere in Camargue, France. It was quite impressive seeing those wild horses, eventhough just out of the car
