I guess it's springtime.

Stupid Summer Time

I worked almost one hour longer today (as a babysitter), because the parents forgot to switch the kitchen clock to summertime. And that really pissed me off, because It ruined the whole timetable.

dschingis khan du edler reiter...

as you might have noticed, my activity on this blog is currently a little bit low.. that's due to the fact that I am not undergoing worldshaking happenings at the moment. So these little things that happen just upset myself and won't be of your interest.. and that's also the reason why I will be gone for - yeah, take a deep breath - for 2 days!! Que horrór! So tomorrow I am driving to Schallaburg with my beautiful car, which is loaded with frazzles of yak, horse, goat and sheep. And in lower austria I will move into my yurt (Jurte) together with my new mongolian friends (all of them called khan to make things easier..) and get drunk with mongolian vodka.

Then I will slap culo of our bundeschancellor, our BM of education (nowadays a huge mongolia insider..) and enktuvshin and enktashvin.. and we will have an interview with KHM willi "saliera" on a chest... so you can see - still a lovely thursday and friday to come!
wish me luck and come and visit the really (no joke) nice exhibition on one of the thousand smooth austrian spring days! Or this weekend for the mongolia week.. Caramba!

Poesie aus der Pfeilgasse

auf meine charmant-schüttelreimerisch formulierte Einladung zum Kaffee (ich lade dich recht herzlich ein, mein Kaffee-Gast heut zu sein!) reagierte Herr Valentin gerade mit einem liebreizenden Gedicht, das ich euch nicht vorenthalten möchte. Es ist schließlich das erste Gedicht, dass nur für mich gedichtet wurde. Vali, da kriegst nen Kuchen für!!!

Liebe Andi,

Dass du dich bemühst mich zu bedienen
Mit Kaffe, Obers, Apfelsinen
Auch wenn ich dem Genuss gern frönen würde
Gestaltet sich das lernen nun zur Bürde
Am liebsten setzte ich dem Streben gleich ein Ende
Doch gebunden sind mir meine Hände
Des Abends Stunden sind leider nur bedingt
Was mich nun zum lernen zwingt
Auch Bewegung muss noch sein
Da sonst bleibt das Blut in meinem Bein
Nach einem Besuch in meiner Wanne
Wie es sich gehört für einen Manne
Noch ein Fußballspiel wird übertragen
Dem kann ich mich wohl kaum entsagen
Aus diesem Grunde möchte ich dich fragen
Dich zu treffen in den nächsten Tagen.
Hälst du das alles nun für einen Scherz
Bräche mir sogleich mein Herz.


Viele Liebe Grüße Vali

there's no business like showbusiness

I doubt that I’ll ever graduate. I feared the worst it and I resisted for quite a long while but yesterday I looked into the world of Podcasts for the first time. And I am an addict already. And who’s fault is it? PROJEKT X.

This episode is all about “volkstümliches Musikbusiness” and how Xavier Naidoo copied a song of Knözl and simply translated it from “Nach dem Regen kommt Sonne” into “After rain there will be sunshine”. The best thing is when you here them laughing like crazy in the background when they play DJ Ötzi. Ok, it doesn’t sound funny when I talk about it but pleeeeaaaase listen to it, so that I don’t have to die the laugh-death alone. And they are right: “Tische sind recht erfolgreich unter den Menschen”

Gräfin Bathory and long ear hair

If you're walking from Kohlmarkt to Albertina you are passing by an unimpressing house with an Italian restaurant in it. This is where Countess Elisabeth Bathory used to kill young virgins to take baths in their blood in order to keep her skin young. but not only once in a while, no, once a week! So, this friendly Lady killed over 600 girls and still is in Guinness World Records for being the mass murderer with the most victims. I wanted to look it up and found something far more interesting: the man with the longest ear hair in the world (13,2 cm!!!!!) . Look at him here, really...god has been kind to you.
But back to the killer countess. Certainly people told each other that she must be a vampire and she was THE inspiration for the first draft of Bram Stoker's Dracula. If it is true what our guide said, it is possible that they release it in 2008 and then...huiiii.... Vienna could become the first adress for gothic, blood-drinking, white-makeup-black-eyes, matrix coats wearing people... that's spooky indeed!

spooky town

Yes, today Vetsch and I joined a guided sightseeing tour in Vienna. And it was all about spooky stories. Vampires, ghosts, graveyards and that kind of stuff. It really was a good thing to do because I feel that my general education has doubled today. So if you don’t know what to do on a Tuesday afternoon, just go to Michaelerplatz at 16.30 and join it, it’s worth the 12 €!

I hardly can believe what the guide said, and I also can’t find it online but allegedly a research institute in Innsbruck proved that 2/3 of all Austrians are somehow Habsburg-relatives. Can you imagine? So, if you have a distinctive chin or something like a cleft lip you can be sure that imperial blood runs through your veins. And if girls are sometimes a bit bitchy it is probably Sissi’s gene material.



I really can't decide which stories to share with you cause really everything (from alrauns to virgin-blood-drinking in a pizzaria) would be worth mentioning. I'll just store them in my newly filled brain and tell you a spooky vienna story from time to time!

So you're a guy, you bought yourself a camera and you either have no friends or you have a lot and need to impress them. In this case you start taking pictures and put them online:

When I bought the turkey leg I also purchased a can of Royal Sun : Coconut Water, hmm yummy?

One sip from this Royal Water with REAL COCONUT PIECES in it and I wanted to puke. I tastes like sugar concentrate with a bit of coconut bogy - wäh.

Maybe I should have had a look at the can before I bought it, because it looks as if this "water" comes straight from the anus of a mango - which would explain the flaky parts.

KW 12

this was my week... which nearly brought me to my physical-party borders.. Tuesday Birdland, Wednesday Latino Concert Crazy Dancing with Juanés, Thursday Fritzi birthday at Benno and lo-Vienna (look at the king himself) - Schlumpi für alle!, Friday Wirr and Tanzbar Gerard.. with my Nische in the cellar. So each and every evening somewhere in the streets of Vienna.. which made me look like a mole yesterday at Schallaburg where we had the technical rehearsals for our next week opening show of the mongolia exhibition... So I was schlepping myself homewards on sat afternoon. In the rain. Along the grey streets next to the gürtel. People throwing rotten veg at me. 13 black cats where crossing my path, which I walked barefoot on a layer of stinging gravel. I fell in my bed after I saw a chimney sweeper getting burried under a ladder while he wanted to pick a cloverleaf.. at home I wanted to chat with andi, but my head was too heavy.2 hours later I was still awake and on my last legs, but my little broken heart said: I wanna go out with the girrrrls,.. but I couldn't make it.. I was conquered by my tiredness. Let's all squirt one together!

the boss!

i also like the spinat mit schaf behind him...

WG-Impressions #1

an ironing board misused as a Jausn-table

baby don't worry

eine nacht findet ihr ende. und ich bin fit wie susi! ich höre männerstimmen und tanze innerlich weiter. hab grade eine baustellenlampe geschenkt bekommen - thx lusu - und einen hocker vom tanzcafe gerald, gerhard oder so-thx alf. aber den hab ich auf der josefstädterstr. zurücklassen müsssen. leider leider sogt da schneider. ansonsten war ich auch noch mit franzosen im chelsea, mit deutschen türkisch essen und mit ösis MacGyver schaun. ka woizn!!!!

Publikum = Flugzeug ???

my good mood is back! that's so relieving! I immediatly started to have fun when I put my first leg out of bed. the spanish lesson was hilarious, although it was so early in the morning, I screwed up my exercise AND had to do a stupid role-game in front of everybody. Those bad language teachers always have the best ideas.

And I have to laugh all the time because Simone's speech center is somehow disturbed today. Maybe Juanes sang the hell out of her brain yesterday but she's mixing the meaning of words today. Best saying so far: "Mah, der drummer gestern hot seine Sticks zu uns ins Flugzeug ghaut!"

We both just came back to library from a way too bitter coffee at Roast where we were sitting right in front of a huuuge worldmap. We both looked at it for a while silently and I asked myself what this strange Island above Scandinavia could be when Simone just remarked: "Poah, China is jo total groß im Vergleich zu Österreich!"

Sorry Simo, but you make my day today!!!

I klotsch eich ei!

the time is 23:54 and my neighbour has fun with a girl

and I just closed my eyes to sleep peacefully

hm, yep, those are the best dreams when you have a smooth, but constant background sound

i loved it when my mum hoovered the floors

and it doesn't have to be a girl just for the sake of political correctness

good night, and good luck

who the f.. is alice

Man, I just came back from a concert at birdland, a nice jazz club in Vienna. And first I didn't really wanna go because it was kind of a business trip with my boss and some of our co-workers. BUT I had the honor to listen to miss(es?) Alice Russell and this gal is a bomb! Amazing voice, fantastic musicans and a hell of a party on stage! freaky cool, is all I can say. The reason of me telling you, is that you all quickly go to your more or less legal downsauging software and type in alice russell.. and of course buy one of her CDs afterwards.. She did a cover of Andre 3000's "dracula's wedding" and one of the White Stripes "Seven Nation Army". Yeah, baby. !OYE! here's a link to a live recording - download it, that's quicker.. but now I need my sleep. And I will dream of tomorrow... because tomorrow... hehehe...

sounds familiar!

http://vienna.metblogs.com/archives/2006/03/urban_art_43_br.phtml

isn't Schönbrunnerstraße 105 the adress where we were on a party lately? The party where Matzi was so "frech" and called me "d'Stickerin" and made fun of my shorter foot the whole night, the party where Simo's sickness was misunderstood as a pick-up-line, the party where Todd, our Harvard-Super-Hero was afraid of Michi, the party where Sev and Paul almost hit each other, the party wwhere we snitched a watermelon, the party where Fritzi gave birth to this watermelon at the Kebap-Standl? hmm... party-flashbacks in the office!

Klaus-Peter

One of my jobs as a very important marketing assistant - haha - is to take pictures from new employees. Today I already had 4 of them. Klaus-Peter was special.
Two questions:
(1) Doesn't he look like a nice old Grandpa?
a.) no, he looks like a monster
b.) yes, he looks nice
c.) I don't know

(2) What do you say if Klaus-Peter comes as near as he can get and says: "Und de nächstn Fotos moch ma auf Mallorca oda?"/"will we make the next pics on Mallorca?"
a.) puke on his shoes.
b.) "yes baby, let's go to ballermann!"
c.) ignore him

I chose c.) and he didn't get it. HE REPEATED IT!!! can you imagine?? what is wrong with such guys?? it was 9.00h in the morning and this old fart hit on me... pffffff!!!!

In good company with those who are yet nameless.

I looked up my year of birth on wikipedia. - Don't ask why.

The "birth" section was particularly interesting; It lists people who were born that year and who have already achieved something in their life. "People of the same age as me are already worth a wikipedia entry? " I asked myself.
Intimidated by the long list of names, I started to read. Chris Masters - wrestler, Nicky Hilton - model, Hikaru Utada - singer, Jennifer Ellison - actress ... It soon became clear that the list could be divided into 4 groups:

The Athletes: Many, many sportsmen are listed. It makes sense that you become successful at a young age when your body is at its fittest.

The Models: Obviously - the younger, the better.

The Musicans and Actors: The avenue to fame can be fast and glittering. There's no business like showbusiness.

The Misc: There are a few other people who too already laid out their path in the world. For example: Jon Johansen - computer programmer, Anna Lührmann - politician and last but not least Nicole Peters - eroticmodel and Tyra Misoux - porn actress.

Now, having had a closer look at the entries, I don't think I'm doing too bad. Just think of all the genius that is still to enter that list. Maybe I'll check back in a few years, but I'm sure till I get to read the names of scientists and presidents I'll be so settled with my own life that I couldn't care less.

150 kg?

from my life as a former healthy person:

Guess... how many people are there in this elevator which is supposed to carry 150 kilos??? well, somehow alcohol makes people feel so much thinner.

the solution: 6 persons: chulia, marlene, verena, vetsch, michi and me were on our way from our private dancing-stars-fiesta to crazy JUS-fest at Museumsquartier. before entering the crowd we had a mini-botellón, vetsch insisted that our Stoli-bottle is the one and only hip flask ("Wos wüstn mit dem?? DES is a Flachmann!!) and we had a short who-is-who-in-ÖH-WU brainstorming. JUS-fest was strange but funny as hell... the playlist was something like this:

Juanes, Seeed, Ace if Base - All that she wants, Call on meeeeee, Britney Spears, Backstreetboys - Everybody, Macarena, Informer, Ice Ice baby,....Maybe this was the reason I woke up with fever the next day.

how a cold affects your life

• it made me watch 4 episodes of "King of Queens", 2 do-it-yourself-TV-shows about redesigning an ugly cellar into a less ugly cellar and 3 episodes of "Newly Weds" on MTV although I thought that Jessica Simson got divorced (?) - by the way... what about Brad and Angie.. married now?
• it makes red pepper and tiramisu taste the same.
• sorting out an ancient mountain of old girly-magazines. In one of them, right next to an "Taxi-Orange-Mama-Robert-(remember?)"-article, I found a column about - surprise surprise - having a cold written by toilet-light-man Clemens Haipl. And says some very true things:

"Wenn ich auch Gliederschmerzen, Kopfweh und erhöhter Temperatur durchaus Positives abgewinnen kann, ungehalten werde ich angesichts der rot-rauen Zone zwischen Oberlippe und Gesichtserker, die sich bei längeren grippalen Effekten und damit verbundenen Reibungen zwischen schnöder Zellulose und meiner zarten Gesichtshaut zwangsläufig bildet."

zen-tunes

take a deap breath - imagine the breath entering your body through your nose into your stomach (stomach??) allow the outward breath to melt out of you, and the inward breath to widen your stomach - feel your body melting into the floor - beginning with your face and jaw (einglofns gsicht??) - take a piece of stillness with you and your sparkling eyes...

you can see I make some breaks at the library, but this podcast is there to be shared with you my dear, stressed friends. too good.. will melt into the library floor now!

me and the WU bea-t-ches

I just arrived at the library at WU.. but before I wasn't sleeping.. no! I had my early morning spanish class. Outside is spring today, but the WU-library nerds didn't notice that (probably due to the fact that they are constantly digging into a heap of books in the archive). So in the library, which is also 80% made out of glass, I feel like a piece of cheese which is lying in the sun and starting to sweat. Next to me is the heating which is still in "winter-mode" and a huge window. I was somehow wondering why I get these beach-flashbacks since I came here today and it is because of the body lotion the girls opposite my place were bathing in this morning. And this body lotion-antiperspirant-girlyperfume smell reminds me of sun tan lotion. Mixed with the heat and the blue sky this is a multi-sensual experience.. I feel like sitting on the beach, at a crappy library table number 1.05 C/40 with integrated light , 4 books, my notebook and a pigeon staring at me through the window.

You should see me on a Sunday

I looked through one of Maija's books about slogans and found some I want to share with you, because if taken out of context they're quite funny - or just bad.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing. Alka-Seltzer; US from 1972
Make your Armpit you Charm Pit. Stopette spray deodorant; US, current early 1950s
The sun never sets on the British Empire because god doesn't trust the Brits in the dark. Irish Republican placard during New York visit of Prince Charles, June 1981
Don't do it, Di! Feminist badge prior to royal wedding, UK, 1981
Hapiness is egg-shaped. UK, selling eggs
Next to myself I like BVD's best. BVD'S (comfortable, loosefitting underwear) US from 1920

And well, You should see me on a Sunday (Knoght's Family Health Soap, UK quoted 1941) this slogan shows how times have changed since then. Because if you see me on a Sunday I'll be hair down, no make-up and in trackies, painting my nails. This is my Sunday - at least today.

la musica latinaaaa

The undiscovered Linz invited me in yesterday.. .
First sara and me updated each other in Aquarium about what happend the last 2 months.. Quite funny already although we got interrupted by the guys from table "L1" all the time.. yeah, those are the guys who are sitting in there e v e r y day. having beer and of course being there for the sake of a good political discussion.. so, they recognized sareeeer and tried to talk about the good old times when she still was a waitress in there... next stop was divino, our local-HQ in Linz. una cerveza más and a Juanés session mit mama z., bappo und noch 3 andreren.. soo schen!
naja, and then there was this invitation we got a few hours before from David..el cubanito... pués... what can I say. it was his birthday and we were supposed the meet Jose Pedro there and Jordi and what we found was LATINO HEAVEN. Jesus! Linz was surprising me, and that didn't happen in the last 10 years.. So it was a private fiesta and there where definitely 40 latinos and latinas and 4 austrians.. aehem.. yep, you can imagine the dancing and the music.. salsa was all around us and my beloved wyclef jean-shakira song was played and david was dancing to it and then fucking linz-police came and turned off the music. but that must have been a good scenery when they entered this small, smoky, sweaty room with cubans and latino americanos all over.. and me.. muhahahaha!
so linz has sometimes something chulo.. at least from time to time!

!ANDA!

yeeehaaaa!

so this is what spanish people
are doing on a friday night.. ANDA!
I can just remember my botellones in Isla Cristina,
but 35.000 espanoles in Granada this Friday
is just increíble... wow..
So I am home in Linz now and will start to write
an SMS to Sara and invite her to a botellón
at the bank of lovely Danube..

Let's see if it also works in the snow..

library life

I am sitting here between books, posh business student ladies and other geeks, reviewing my day and thinking about what people told me today:
Andreas has put on his last pair of clean socks and is actually thinking about bringing all his clothes to a laundry, Christoph eats 6 eggs, tuna and cottage cheese for breakfast to get his daily dosis of proteins, it's afternoon and Julia already had her second Campari orange and Teresa is going to a Women's contest for a workshop "endlich mal laut sein als Frau". die Welt steht nicht mehr lang.

Mehr hat sich heute nicht getan. ICH. KAFFEE. JETZT.

Hint no.1: I woke up, saw my nightdress on the floor and noticed that I was naked.

Hint no.2: In the bathroom mirror I saw that I had black mascara under my eyes.

Hint no.3: I went into the kitchen and found the most peculiar scenario. Half a carrot lay next to a bitten off parsnip. The few butter beans -left over from supper- were barely touched, but the turkey breast slices were all gone. And as if that wasn't enough, I reckon I must have eaten at least 3 cloves of garlic.

So, according to those hints, one can figure it all out. I was too tired to put on my nightdress, because I went out yesterday. But I was drunk anyway and no wonder I've been brushing my teeth the third time already today.

It's Jerry Lewis' birthday today.. and that guy really deserves to live!

read on orf.at:

Dass Jerry Lewis heute seinen 80. Geburtstag feiert, grenzt an ein Wunder. Der amerikanische Slapstick-Komiker hatte schon Prostatakrebs, eine Magenblutung, einen Herzinfarkt, eine Wirbelsäulenfraktur und eine schwere Lungenkrankheit.

Jahrzehntelang war er tablettensüchtig und 1982 für 17 Sekunden klinisch tot. Aber der vielleicht bekannteste Grimassenschneider der Welt lässt sich nicht unterkriegen.

basic translation: he survived prostate cancer, intestinal bleeding, a stroke, a spine hernia and a severe lung disease. He was pill addicted for ages and in 1982 he was clinically dead for 17 seconds. wow!

isch will disch gucken!!!

yesterday was lasagne-eating-and-saying-good-bye-to-Matthias-cause-he's-going-back-to-Piefke-Land-time at Markus' place. simo and my super duper greek-salad lost against anna's salad (with roasted bread and bacon) but our little presents rocked the show! Mundl-DVD and Kaffeehäuser-Quartett.
Robin, the finnish "wall" brought self made pulla, the poster on the toilet-door made me nervous and we talked about the most important things in the world: Greenland, dog shit, blood and mobila man (the biggest mobile ever, actually a suitcase to carry around).

Today I am again good in killing time. talked to fischi for hous on skype (both in "skype-me"-mode) having conferences with marokko-guys. actually fischi talked to them and I listened, rolling on the floor laughing: "isch will disch gucken" - best phrase of the afternoon!

a big 'holaaaa' to the linzerwiener readers.. I am really happy, that billions of good looking guys ask me on the street, if I am one of the tree amazing chicas publishing on linzblog. "yeah,... hi.. well, thanks a lot..". or like dominik would call it: "It's nicen nicen nicen nice...". No sé que, no sé cuanto. Well my actual inition to write is that I am a bit bored. I know, this feeling actually doesn't live anymore in my dark world of feelings since I was 16. Did you also say that word a lot when you were younger? I can remember me creeping up to my mum with my braces, my shaved hair and my silly looking yellow doc marten boots, saying: muhhhm, I am bored. And she would most of the time say: read something. And that actually fed my revolutionary thoughts and ambitions and I went out into the world to fight against my boredom. We met in the backyard of our house.. (yes, dear readers, the same where the cherry tree is/was standing..). The best time was when I was about 14 i think. Andreas you might correct me there, but back then we were a gang of about six to ten "freaky-cool" gals and guys and we played cops and robbers or dodgeball. I didn't like cops and robbers that much, because I was always afraid to be in the robber position.. because I hate the feeling of being bad.. no, muhaha, bullshit. Well, I just didn't like running away and being chased. And we played hide and seek in the dark, which was at the time when girl start being concerned about boys, but they don't recognize them...

ok, so now it's time to go to my dinner invitation.. puh, thank god I survived the last 15 minutes of boredom...

Hey readers! what else can one do after a monday-night-out than redesigning the linzblog?

I really wanted to go on writing my theses today but after I counted the hours we were in that club yesterday (8!!!!!!! - that's nearly a day!!!!) I knew that this would be impossible. But I also felt too awake to sleep the whole afternoon, so I entered the blog-button-world. Simo joined and here they are... our colourful creations. ENJOY!!!

with jay´, heath and sid and stacey and mr. alva (one more).. and the best thing is.. it all really happened!

sometimes it snows in march

this day couldn't be worse. when I stood up at 7 there were masses of snow out there. in march. where are we? what have we done? is this fair? Then at BWZ Simone's and my mission to catch Mr. Cutie "Dschingis Khan" failed and he flirted with a first-row-trulla. At home my belly started to fuck my day up...

The only things which made this afternoon bearable were 30000 calories per hour in Simo's bed while watching the movie "Lords of Dogtown". And bro', I wanna skate the hell out of your pool!"

Erinnerungen

Bin grad über eine Seite gestolpert die mich sehr an 1. und 2. Klasse Mittelschule erinnert. Satzanalyse!
So und wer kann mir jetzt folgenden Satz analysieren:

Hossa, da wäre dem Tinchen doch beinahe ihr Handschuh auf des schlafenden Hundes Hinterteil gefallen!

Geht schon, gemeinsam schaffen wir das!

Pink is so in fashion - even with the ***crew, who's exhibition I went to.
And I learned a new word, when Clive introduced me to his spectacles; I'm just glad it didn't mean testicles!

cherry tree blossoms

ok, just for all the others.. (Andreas you are the only insider!):

in our yard in Linz..... there is a beautiful cherry tree living his life as a tree.. BUT our neighbours fight a leathal discussion about wheter to leave the tree or to cut him down! so they cut him down a little bit.. We all enjoy the tree trunk standing all alone in the garden!

and now, we even motivate people writing about that stupid tree story in OOEN... amazing.. ah ya, by the way.. the nut tree in front of our house is also going to die... BUT - this time my mum is not involved actively in the whole demonstration-activism-happening... she had her time, tied onto a pappel-tree a few years ago.. Rettet die Pappel!!

VOTING!!!

vote for miss and mister photogenic and/or
mister bodyhair!

my favourite is the one with the cap in
picture #3!!!!!

Ever since Maija has bought a juicer last week, I am in juice-heaven in the morning, with the sorts of Orange-Ginger and Apple-Orange juice.
But, be aware of her evening creations: Carrot-Blueberry or Cucumber-Red Pepper juice are not what I had in mind when I first saw Maija's latest kitchen equipment.
Even though I like the colour.
