I have finally revived my old flickR account and posted my first images there since forever. They are all from a small trip I took to Amsterdam in September with my Diana F and a black and white film.
I spent a couple of days there with Kate and later my parents and did a lot of bike riding.

You can get the whole set here.

Last weekend, my friend Yasmin was with me the entire weekend and I cooked and baked for her. We also crafted and talked and it was wonderfully relaxing. It kind of inspired me to make this post of dished I made recently and took pics off.

It seems oddly fitting that I came across this yesterday!



ps: I caught up with the entire show recently. What an amazing and complex show.
ps2: Please don's spoil me for the finale. i'm staying away frojm tumblr today.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last entry. My friend half_lit_world and I went on a lomographic tour of the cologne city leakes festival on sunday. The weather was perfect and we walked all day, even though it was exhausting, it was nice to be out in the sun. I took some pics with my iphone and played with a new cam that I got off ebay.

Just to show that my lj isn't dead and I'm still here. i'm just buried under a pile of work and planning. Here are some pictures from the Extraschicht event at Zeche Zollverein again. I finally managed to get DM to develop the horizon images correctly. Horizon YAY!

I mean to write entries with these pictures, but I don't think that will happen. So I'm just iphone-photospamming you ;)

I will however still write about the Game of Thrones exhibition. At some point


A tree in Amsterdam Important fact.

I also read somewhere that there will be up to 39 degrees nexte week. I'm gonna die. I mean what is this... all the heat we didn't get yet this year in the space of one week?

Hi new friends made on various friending memes. You can totally ask me questions if you like. I'm not so good with the writing of bios.

I've been very busy and much more productive lately, which is good. Headway. Awesomeness. Hopefully the trend will continue upward, so I can finally finish all the tedious stuff I have to do. Like tax and stuff.

Went to the gym on saturday. My second time in aaaages and as I came back out, there were a bunch of cosplayers behind the main station dressed as Sherlock and Dr. Who and other characters and it was quite fabulous.

Also I've been cooking a lot. Mie doodles with broccoli, avocado-cucumber dip and salad with quinoa-carrot-mushroom-zucchini fritters.

Some of you might find the fact, that as I got home on tuesday the carpet in the house floor was ripped out, as hilarious as I do. Nevermind the fact that there was no warning or headup or any information. Our horror hotel dirt carpet is a thing of the past.

Had a wonderful evening yesterday with half_lit_world. Eating and talking. And talking and eating. Afterwards I ran into my neighbour Benno and we stood on the street for 20 minutes and chatted. I also made delicious avocado-soyjoghurt-lemon-cucumber creme with my new blender. Awesomenes. Also watched The Americans after. I shouldn't have, simply because it was way to late, but well I don't regret it.

Have finally booked train tickets to Amsterdam in may and YAY, lyxzen, elsmoka and I are going to Amasterdam and see the Game of Thrones exhibition.

I bought the blender when I was shopping shortly with my parents after work exactly a week ago. I took some pics, because the weather was lovely. I love that coffee filter thing on my iphone. Those are behind the cut. Together with the floor and two breakfast cereals.

I also updated my lomohome with Sylt pictures. The albums are here, here, here and here.

I've done stuff, been places, been eaten by a procrastonatery whole in the shape of many many tv shows and pictures of Richard Armitage. Actually there is not much going on, or a lot, depending on the day you ask me. And there is something I wanted to talk about, but I've started writing that entry many times and cannot seem to put it into words.

So I will leave you with some picture spam, of the last snow, of my way too short London trip and of course of food. Never enough food.

I'm back from my easter vacation with my parents. It was wonderful. We were very lucky with the weather and with traffic, did lots of hiking and had lots of tea and hot chocolate.

Been meaning to post this picspam for a while. Kate's and my ikea trip for sewing materials resultet in many shots. It's a faint memory of colder times. Thank god the sun is out!

Wot. Lot's of Rawwwrmitage for elsmoka, roadrunner1896, and legoline in the future hopefully. Muse, where are you.

ps: everything is funny today. Explosion.

I've been meaning to make a post about my Denmark vacation, but never did. I'm still to lazy to write stuff. Exept it was gorgeous and relaxing and the people were so nice and friendly. I'd definately go again. I love the north.

Also best German typo ever. Well maybe not ever, but I laughed and laughed, maybe it is the exhaustion.

Wurstsalätle – schäbisch oder schweizer. (Und ich hab nichts gegen die Schwaben. Find Sie sogar sehr super, aber irgendwie hat mich das extrem zum lachen gebracht.)

Happy birthday svmadelyn

I'm back from my one week mini vacation. It was fabulicious. I will write more once my Lomos return.

Last week a lady called me that a space as been freed up and I am now part of the dutch course again. I had my first lesson yesterday and it was fabulous and a lot of fun and I knew a lot more than I thought I did. I also went to pilates right after because my fitness studio is right there and it was exhausting and a bit painful but I don't have that much of a muscle ache. I've gained a bit of weight in Denmark and also haven't really done that much sports in over a month. So i'm hoping to get back into it.

The Lomographys have been taken in Amsterdam, my parents garden, dog walking in Duisburg and in Düsseldorf. I hope you enjoy.

Also I'm not sure if I've mentioned that I am rewatching Lost right now. I'm already done with season 3.

Last weekend, elsmoka, legoline and I braved the wonderful city of Amsterdam. There was walking, sightseeing and reading by the window with an amazing view as well as a weekend full of the gay pride parade with handbag-throwing, highheel racing and lots of music as well as a parade on boats with a very mixed audience. It was rather fantastic.

I've hardly ever had such crappy pics before though. Only took my DLSR out once and did the rest with my Lomo LCA. Unforntunately for me, I hadn't in serted the film correctly, thus there are no photos.

Anyways, I have fallen in love with the city a bit. It's wonderful because it's a large city that doesn't seem so large. Like it's keeping a lot of the old flair.
I have booked course to learn dutch. I'm very glad, because I've been wanting to do it for years.

Summer has finally started to show about last weekend has now come out completely.

Dog walking with elsmoka, legoline and book232 :) I haven't taken pics in ages so it was a lot of fun. We also had the most wonderful barbecue later on a great salad. And we watched the strangest movie I have seen in ages "21 Jumpstreet" with Channing Tatum in it. I am still not entirely sure if the movie is totally genius or the worst thing I have ever seen.

legoline, elsmoka and I are planning to see Magic Mike also. We might get a channing overload even though we just want to see it for the delicious Matt Bomer.

Sunday I spent with my brother. We had another barbecue in my parents garden with my friend Yasmin and some friends of my brothers. I was nice to see them again. Also saw John Carter with them, which wasn't bad at all. It wasn't a quality movie per se, but I had a ridiculous smile on my face the whole time and there were a lot of familiar faces next to Tayler Kitsch who I know was in the movie there was James Purfoy, Ciaran Hinds, Mark Strong and Dominic West. All brits ;)

Thanks to everyone who sent me messages, V-gifts, pms and whatnot for my birthday. You made it an incredible day. Spent the evening with friends having dinner at my favorite restaurant. It was marvellous :)

Also omg... we have tickets for "The Dark Knight Rises". I can get my Tom Hardy fix :) Also omg.. Batman. I'm really excited to see how Nolans vision will end.

I'm still addicted to textures. I photographed these at my parents home this sunday.

So for christmas a friend of mine gave me a book on how to mace voo dolls. And I finally had some time to try it out. Got lots of whool, and ideas and took some time to try it out while watching Sherlock S1.

My first try is this punk woo doll. I added a pompom ball on the head with great results!!

This one is a bday pressie for Anne. I call him bald potter. Because I need better black whool.

Anyways, such fun!!!!

Here comes the last photopost. As you can see, I tend to get photolazy on the last days, always. So this is the space of three days ;) Weather wasn't as good on day three and the beach we wen hiking on was rather boring.
On day 4 it was sunny again, but I'd been feeling the day before like I wasn't really relaxing going from the gym, to hiking, to dinner, to bed.

So I told my parents I would go to the bar by bus and sit there and read a book. My mother decided to join me and my das went for a walk on his own.

I think my mum was very glad about that ;)



That was it. I might still post the analog pictures at a later time.

Here I come with my second sylt entry. The saturday was really sunny and it reflected a lot in the sand. The light was quite brilliant because of it.We went for a rather large and very painful walk on the beach. The sand way way too soft to walk on and my hips started hurtng again the same way they have in Scotland. And in the end the bar we had hoped to have some drinks in was closed. I guess that's fine on christmas though.

Also int he middle of the day we had a little bit of rain, which made for the most perfect rainbow and wonderfully red colored sky.



ps: with my new entry format I chose larger pics this time.. what do you guys think?
