Now, finally. When did I last spend a weekend glued to the computer watching films? It was about time again. Last thursday I rented "The Seawolf" , a remake of an old German classic.

Anecdote: today I thought I'd be nice and buy each of my employees an easter-egg.
At the local confectionary  they sell chocolate-eggs in colorful tinfoil, so I thought one egg for everyone, that's a nice little thing to find on your desk.
