New home!

February 1st, 2011

We have been looking for a new apartment since August last year and finally found something!
It’s a large roof apartment in a 19th century building in the city center. The moment I first stepped into the building I knew it would be our new home.
It has been completely renovated lately, this is what it looked like before the renovation:



From the outside, our new landlord has his art studio on the ground floor.



A small part of the living room.



The kitchen (this will go out and we bring our own)



Upstairs.



The roof terrace (one of our criteria!)

We’re getting the keys tonight and I’m so excited, I can’t wait to paint and decorate.. :)

Vacation!

May 24th, 2010

Last day of my vacation *sigh* It was my first vacation since october 2008 so I really, really needed it and it was so nice not to think about work for 10 whole days..

  • My friend Janet was here on Monday and Tuesday, hadn’t seen her in a YEAR, living so far away from your best friends sucks sometimes :/ We went shopping, watched movies and drank too much Whiskey-Cola
  • My mother came over on Wednesday and stayed for two days. She hadn’t been here in a year either, same problem; distance. blah.
  • Watched the first two seasons of True Blood with Andreas and I love it, can’t wait for the next season to come out!
  • Took out all the drawing and painting utensils I kinda inherited from my father but i haven’t had any time to do anything with it yet, maybe today
  • Went too the Lush store and got myself the new facial serum and a facial mask (cupcake). Tried them out this weekend:
  • The facial serum Loving Face is so great; makes your face so soft <3


  • Watched the Halloween remake by Rob Zombie on saturday night and was so scared afterward, I’m such a pussy but I love horror movies.. :(
  • Baked a vegan apple pie yesterday and it is so so so delicious :D I don’t think I can ever live 100% vegan, I love (vegetarian) cheese and chocolate too much but I guess cutting out eggs and milk in other products is a good start nonetheless.
  • And now it is monday and my last day off, I’m just gonna surf the web today and continue reading the Lou Reed biography (<3). Some friends are coming over tonight to play board games and then tomorrow normal life starts again, ugh. I am already looking forward to my next vacation in July hehe
  • & I love the True Blood opening song/video.. ;)

    Bathroom Inspiration

    April 14th, 2010

    I can’t say anything about the job situation at the moment, but you know when all of a sudden there are so many changes in your life and life seems to push you in a certain direction? That’s definitely what’s happening in my life right now and I’m scared and excited at the same time. We’ll see what happens in the course of this week..

    I’m in love with these bathrooms. Unfortunately I have the smallest (yellow! argh!) bathroom in the world (about 2 m²/ 21 ft²) and with the ugly, brown, tiles it has, I can’t even be bothered to make it nice.

    Pics all from AT.

    & off to do some laundry, cleaning and cooking.

    The father of my colleague died of cancer and it left me sad all day. I still miss mine horribly.
    I stumbled upon this video by ‘accident’ tonight and hadn’t listened to the song in years <3


    I was a kid you were my dad
    I didn’t always understand
    I wanted freedom you got mad
    You were concerned I got upset
    I didn’t recognize you yet
    And did you cry I know I did
    When I lied to you
    I didn’t want to hurt you
    I just never knew I did
    You never told me that you loved me
    I know you didn’t know how
    I guess that shows we’re much the same
    ‘Cause I love you too and until now
    I’ve never said those words out loud
    I hope you’re proud
    To be my dad…
    What are your secrets, do you pray
    Is there a god that shows your way
    I wish I knew…
    Do you have crazy fantasies
    What happens in your dreams
    I want to know…
    I guess you’ll always be a mystery to me
    But you taught me how to value life
    And what else do I need
    I have a dad who watches over me

    dream chair

    January 18th, 2010

    I just bought my dream chair for my desk and I’m in love with it   :D
    I just had to take it home with me..

    Soyatoo

    January 18th, 2010

    I’m telling you, this stuff tastes just as great as regular whipped cream. It’s slightly different, a bit creamier, but delicious. Best thing is that it’s organic, vegan and has less calories. No need to use regular cream anymore.. :)

    I took a day off today, I’m not feeling too well, so I’m going to use my time to watch the last two episodes of Lost (season 5) and start reading in ‘Living Dead in Dallas’ by Charlaine Harris lol, you can’t compare her books to Anne Rice’s Vampire chronicles, but they’re ok and entertaining.

    Question: When you post a comment, is the form in German or in English?
