Okay, if the first few days of January are any indication of how the year will go, 2012 will consist of 1) epic hangovers, 2) glorious runs in beautful cityscapes, 3) colds. Seriously, body, again? It's as if one bug got in and threw a party and then everyone brought their little friends and then it was posted on facebook.

Sooo after the knee thing and the being sick thing and the travel thing and everything I was finally back on a reasonable exercise schedule, got over the inner weichei and ran this morning in 1°C weather which is 1K less than Sunday, and now I have a cold.

So I bought a litre of multivitamin juice and a package of Dominosteine and now I'm back on ( Read more... )

I saw the new Harry Potter movie and HOLY SHIT THEY PLAYED NICK CAVE AND DANCED. Of all the things I'd have expected in a Harry Potter movie, "O Children" wasn't one of them. (Of all the Nick Cave songs to dance to, I wouldn't have guessed that one, either ( Read more... )

I AM SICK AND ON THE COUCH. ENTERTAIN ME I AM BORED.

I'd drink to 20 years of reunification, but the body rebels against water. Water!

I wanted to run today, but then I didn't get out of bed in time (because let's just be absolutely honest about this: at seven in the morning, the bed is entirely preferable to running around in technicolour running clothes with a belly full of tap water and no breakfast). Then, during the day, a sore throat snuck up on me (it was like a switch, ( Read more... )

Ok, as people on the flist know this week started off pretty successfully after last week already ended quite as successfully, only somewhere in the process of getting a little tipsy for celebratory reasons I - alternating running around in cold weather and having different drinks in different bars - must have caught some bug or other, and now I'm ( Read more... )

To run or not to run.

Awesome idea because...

- running!
- haven't run in a week
- will not be stuck inside all day
- will feel smug and self-righteous for the rest of the day
- will probably not die despite having a cold
- have bunch of things to avoid

Not so awesome idea because...

- it's -8°C -10°C (D:) outside ( Read more... )

Woohoo! Waschmaschinenproblem gelöst! :D

Gestern nacht hab ich mir aber was superintelligentes geleistet, und zwar hab ich ja so eine gewisse (Achtung, Fachbegriffe ab hier unsachgemäß verwendet) Grundparanoia, und jedenfalls fiel mir gestern, ca. Mitternacht, auf einmal ein, dass ich nicht ganz genau wusste*, ob ich meinen Wecker gestellt hatte. ( Read more... )

Silvester war fantastisch. Ich saß auf dem Sofa und sah mir erst einen sehr komischen quizförmigen Jahrensrückblick, dann Dinner For One, dann drei Lieder von einem Tina-Turner-Konzert mit ganz lächerlichen, aber immerhin athletischen Tanzdamen, und dann den ARD-Countdown an. Punkt Mitternacht war dann die Penicillin und das Telefonat mit meiner ( Read more... )
