This year is back to old travelling routines. Meeting people. Recovering my fears. I like talking. and listening. Laughing - especially with Maritzel. Books. Music. Live shows. I like talking on the phone. Cuddling with my cat Speedy. Cuddling in general. Going out, stand up comedy gigs (or Betroffenheitslyrik concerts - Olaf and Jochen after a show in MD):Chatting about history. Discussing the use and misuse of stereotypes. Going out for coffee. Every day now.. yeah! work.. Right now, addicted to writing my journal. It's gotta add up to an autobiography, I'm telling you!
Meeting people is easy.

Bottom 12. The Virginia City Revival. Butthole Surfers every now and then. Too Many DJs - good for driving to parties. The Hives. An occasional dose of Tenacious D. Sick of it All shows - packed yet satisfying. Think about Mutation. one great solo artist: Marlene Dietrich. Forgot The Riverboat Gamblers - some of the most dangerous shows I went to. KMFDM.

When it comes to sports: football - the European version, tennis, pole vaulting - of course, what else? I'll think of something.. Ha! now that Schumacher is not in anymore, Formula One. Reruns of Smack the Pony (or watching the dvds, thanks Ada!!)CNN. n-tv. Quatsch Comedy Club. Little Britain - Geez, someone get me the new season on DVD!!!
