I'm still alive!

I know I’ve just managed to post the weekend updates for a long time – if that, as last week. I have, however, been very busy. We’ve been working on transferring a whole forum and we had to copy/paste the whole stuff, because we couldn’t get the database files.


That’s over now, so I hope to go back to some more post-writing and writing in general.


I did learn something interesting yesterday, though. My car’s battery had died and in order to charge the new one my local garage put in, I had to drive around a bit, so I figured I would do my weekly shopping in a shopping mall a bit further away. I was well acquainted with the road I was going to take, as I had worked for a while for a company only a few hundred meters away from the mall. And after maybe a couple of hundred meters in my car, getting to speed up over city speed limits for the first time in a long while (I’d always been driving around my hometown), I suddenly realized it: I had missed it. I had missed driving longer distances, having a chance to let my mind work, let it roll out ideas and play with them. Don’t misunderstand me, though, I was concentrated on driving, but doing it also allowed my imagination to speed up and get to work. It was … strange, but fruitful, you might say.


It started my imagination up again and so I hope there will be more in this blog soon enough, that I might overcome my ‘don’t bother’ attitude and start ranting and bitching again, just as I did when I started writing my blog. I will also do more driving and taking my camera along … more pictures and not just from my hometown.

Weekend Update

What? No weekend update this weekend? Well, as a matter of fact, I had a lot to do this weekend, as the forum I’m an admin of is moving and I spent most time doing some stuff over there.


  • DVD to watch: nothing special
  • Book to read: started “The Dragon Murder Case” by S.S. van Dine
  • Game to play: a bit of “Mystery Trackers”


The move is almost over, so I’ll return to having more spare time within this week – hopefully.

Weekend Update

Well here we are again, it’s always such a pleasure … oops, that was a quote from the credits song of Portal 2 – meaning I finished the game last weekend and am free to play something else this weekend.


  • DVD to watch: maybe some “Criminal Minds” episodes again
  • Book to read: hope to finish “The Bishop Murder Case” by S.S. van Dine
  • Game to play: no real plans, but I will find something


I really like the sun outside – and I’m glad the Royal Wedding is over, it got far too much coverage in the media over here (not that I don’t want them to be happy, but a bit less than six stations showing the whole thing parallel would have been enough for me).

Weekend Update

A slightly belated weekend update this week, but the weather was nice and we’re in the middle of the Easter Weekend here.


  • DVD to watch: I’ve pulled out “Indiana Jones 4” again this weekend
  • Book to read: no plan, honestly
  • Game to play: “Portal 2”


Ah, weekend…

Weekend Update

Oh my god … it’s Saturday again. How could that have happened? Just kidding, of course. So, my plans?


  • DVD to watch: “Criminal Minds” Season 5
  • Book to read: I really should finish “Brood of the Witch-Queen”
  • Game to play: nothing special planned


It’s a sunny weekend out there and I have a lot of gruesome murders to watch. Could life be any better?

Weekend Update

Another glorious weekend (I have enjoyed the sun and the warmth already) and another weekend update. This weekend, I’m plotting, though. So what do I do this weekend?


  • DVD to watch: the four “Blind Dead” movies
  • Book to read: nothing special planned, but maybe I’ll finish “Carmilla”
  • Game to play: I’m in the mood for some more assassination with “Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood”


And I’m going to enjoy the spring which has come forth so quickly.
