Christmas Fair - Kurfürstendamm - Gedächtniskirche - Berlin

Es weihnachtet sehr, in euren Geldbeuteln.
Christmas is on it's way into your purses.
And no, I'm not a Grinch. Well, not that much.
It was even my own decision to go there today.
Seriously, I enjoy beautiful christmas fairs a lot but those
capitalist cults which are connected to them make me want to puke
all the candy I ate recently.
"Merry crisis and a happy new fear!"

Beach View - the winter in Berlin

Sometimes you can't draw a distinction between peaceful or depressing.


It's not easy to differentiate. But can Berlin be peaceful?

old suede shoes

I have these shoes for about 4 years now.
And they still don't look that bad for their age.
They are good friends now.

Monkey see, monkey do.

A friend sent me this monkey by post last week. Thank you very much!

birdie bird skull drawing

And there is another sketch I should work on some time. I'm really a bird nerd and I guess that I will draw some other birdie skulls too.

light bulb comic character

That's another sketch which I made a few months ago.
And there are some further ideas I should elaborate on occasion.

Skull drawing 1

I made this sketch a few months ago.
Maybe I will work on this idea and make a more elaborated one in the near future.

Shampoo Bars from Lush

This week I bought two shampoo bars from Lush.
1. Karma Komba:
I already tried this sort before. A friend gave it to me and I really liked it.
That's the reason I bought it again, of course. It has elemi oil, lemon oil,
a little bit patchouli and other ingredients.
And the smell is very pleasant. Even though I'm not the biggest patchouli fan
in the world, since every wannabe goth or hippie is using it.
The bar is really long lasting because it foams keenly.
It makes your hair very clean and shiny and you can use it for a long time if you don't waste it too much.
You just need a little bit to wash your hair if you use the shampoo bar right.

2. Squeaky Green:

I didn't try this sort yet but I am very excited.
Peppermint, tea tree powder, rosemary, stinging nettle and camomile oil sounds tempting. I'm eager to use it and I think that I will give it a shot tomorrow.
Oh, one of the best things is that coumarin is also an ingredient.
I love coumarin so much, it's probably one of my favorite things in the world!

The button:

I got the button in the third photo for free.
It says "We fight against animal testing" in German.

breakfast in the late afternoon

Some might say that Polish beer and stuff from the bakery down the street isn't a proper breakfast. Especially when you have it at 4:30 pm. Whatever!
I say it's the breakfast of champions.
And I even edited the photo in a diner-ish and cold light-ish way to show you how awesome it is. In your face!

The X-Files buttons

I was a huge The X-Files fan back then. And yeah, I still am.
Today I got those lovely 3 buttons that I bought on eBay. Aren't they neat?
And I will wear them with pride today. Most certainly on some other days too.
Rad!

Transportertour

A friend and I rented a huge van and we transported lots of stuff. Shit needed to be done. And we finished it in about two days. Here are some pictures from close after we've started:

This looks like a place somewhere in Kosovo:

There was the Berlin Wall:

Yes, I edited it a little bit. Fancy, hm? I would like to live in a tower:

The Fernsehturm/ TV Tower. It's one of the landmarks of Berlin. But I bet that you know that if you don't live under a rock or something:

The Fernsehturm strikes again:

macadamia rice pudding

What do you get when you cook some rice, add some soy milk, macadamia creme, Ovaltine/ Ovomaltine and flaxseeds? That's right, exactly this. And it's so healthy that you can feel it while you eat it.

Tiergarten

Fooling around at the S-Bahnhof Tiergarten:

Maybe it's a case for the X-Files.

Do you still need a little time to wake up?
Just a little time?
Mermaids can't drown!
Well, I guess...

tasty food and a unicorn sky

Last week I ate glass noodle soup with shrimps, shiitake mushrooms, quail's eggs, vegetables and herbs at the Nikolaiviertel.
I have just been to busy to post it right then and later I almost forgot it.
Where is my mind..?! (:




And there was what I call a "unicorn sky" when the sun went down that evening.

omnomnom weekend

Forget Spongebob, there are rumors in circulation that I might be the best fry cook. You doubt that Mr. Squarepants? Well, the challange is accepted.
I made some burger last weekend to hone my skills.
And they turned out really well, I just have to find a better sauce.

And I ate some baklava:


Meanwhile on CSI Berlin:

bubble tea and dinner

Uh, I had such a hangover yesterday.
And I was close to dehydration and I needed to gain some energy,
so I went out to drink some bubble tea at the Leopoldplatz.
I really craved mango flavored one and I gulped 500 ml down in the blink of an eye.

Hell yeah, that was so good. I felt much better and was in the right mood to have dinner. So I went to the "Just Dim Sum" restaurant in the Ansbacher Str. in Berlin-Schöneberg and had a feast.

April weather

Jeez, the April weather is really weird this year.
There are days where you have changes from rain to sunshine to hail to snow and back to sunshine again. And all this happens in intervals of 15 minutes.
I don't complain about the weather but I have to recognize that it is amply strange. Those photos are from earlier this month:
