curiosity of the day

inviting an apparently acquainted person for tea and realising afterwards that nobody in your house actually knew him. at least the address left for staying in touch gave some hint about his identity :)

introducing your course of study

you should make sure everybody understands what it is really about, otherwise you might end up with someone asking you:

"Your course is a main course, right?"

real timewasters

I simply get frustrated everytime when before finally getting down to work I have to search and install thousands of different tools for a functionality I already could use with something else, just to open some random file which is necessary to be able to start... In my world there should be only TEX..

I am not my hair
I am not this skin

what if..

.. for each human there is really a path they are destined for but they are at the same time free to leave it, to sidestep from it, to keep going in circles instead? imagine there would be a sort of transparent hull around the path to guide the one travelling on it, which could at the same time be broken by each individual at all times by sheer will of ones mind? would one sense the resistance and reconsider? or play it down and go nevertheless, maybe even flee from the sensation of overstepping a border to nomansland?

holiday on ice

today i went for ice skating on one of the lakes not too far from home. it was simply beautiful - so much space, so few people, fresh crispy air, great view to the mountains, no noises except the crackling of the ice... we were skating round the whole lake, which took us quite a while. in some sense winter serves like an equalizer, making every part of the lake accessible even to people not owning land there. maybe some other day i will manage to put up some more pictures, for now just one so you get the idea that winter here is actually really beautiful ;)
