Life
My boyfriend's great uncle who lived next door to him died. He was pretty old, but of course everybody is devastated. Boyfriend cried in front of me, which was very aw....shows that one trusts you. I called some friends of theirs in England for them to explain everything and they decided to come for the funeral, which will be Wednesday. I will go too. He was a lovely man and I am sad, and sad for his family and friends.
His wife, I like her a lot. I feel so sorry.
But at least he was still very active until old age and he died more or less happy.
So, we did not go out on Friday of course. We just talked and hugged and cuddled and I tried to comfort him. But in a way it was a nice evening.
Yesterday we drove to his place and in the afternoon we went to have coffee with his grandparents, parents and great aunt. She asked me whether I could talk to her English friends for her, which I did. I am happy they will come, because that will be nice for her.
Yesterday night we went to a club in Frankfurt, where we go from time to time, the Final Destination. They had Strange Works (Indie and Alternative) and Metal Night on the second floor...and what was best: Cocktail Happy Hour, and damn they make good and strong cocktails.
I had, too,..and Pina Colada and a Caipirinha. I danced a lot and we drove home at four (I got fries at Burger King) and arrived there at five.
We went to bed and I feel asleep real quick but when I woke up the first time, I had the most horrible headache...could not have been a hangover, considering I had only two cocktails, but it sucked. But I was able to go to sleep again and felt better...though still slightly dizzy.
Today we went to the fair in the next town, where one traditionally goes every year and buys candy and looks at silly hats and stuff.
It was nice....
Now, we should go and get our pizza.
Books
I ordered a bunch of books for uni. The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde, Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, Beloved by Toni Morrison and Orlando by Virginia Woolf. I started Heart of Darkness, but I might first try Walter Moers' new novel, because he is just lovely and hilarious and his wrting is so smart and enjoyable.
