Things sometimes come between friends. I think that is fine. My understanding of that possibility is more or less the basis of my friendships. Sharing is the intersection of tolerance, love and independence.
Als Kind fand ich das Wort „Tagundnachtgleiche“ sehr interessant. Ich dachte, wenn es Menschen egal ist, ob Tag oder Nacht ist, dann nennen sie das Tagundnachtgleiche. Im Winter gibt es manchmal Tage, da weiß man nicht, ob es noch nicht hell oder schon wieder dunkel ist. Tag oder [more]

Autumn cleaning. Like spring cleaning, but less light to see what needs to be done maybe. Deep clean November. I am in a bad habit of Googling everything I do. This came up. If I could do that (puke) smiley thing from skype I would put it right here.
A day is a long time in politics. My forlorn program of political optimism proposed on day 43, namely that perhaps the long slow motion car crash of 20th Century politics was coming to an end leaving clear road ahead was proposed too soon. There is great attention [more]
Das MDR-Fernsehballett soll abgeschafft werden. Damit stirbt nicht nur ein Stück Fernsehgeschichte, sondern auch eine Idee: dass Fernsehen eine Bühne sei.

Draußen auf der Terrasse tänzelt Weinlaub. Dunkelrot, braun und dunkelbraun gescheckt, und schon so vertrocknet, dass es bei einem heftigen Windstoß zerbröselt und als aufgeregte bunte Wolke davonstaubt. Einmal hatte ich einen eigenen Weinberg. Er lag über dem Kamptal und gehörte früher meiner Großmutter. Schon als Kind wurde [more]
