you had a rough day at work?
too many appointments left you with no energy to chew your supper?
those drinks are too heavy to lift?
why not try some celtic harp guided meditiation?
it is lovely.
soft rocking the celtic harp for energy love burst
the new iPad
as you might have heard, apple presented the new iPad yesterday.
among other things, it is supposed to be the new way of reading online periodicals.
well, here is a Mad TV spoof from a few years ago. they had it all pinned down. sort of.
who would have thought that they would actually go for a name like that?
looking forward to more of this kind of humor in the not too distant future.
Ein herrlicher Tag in den ollen Südtiroler Bergen
Die Kastelruther Spatzen rocking the rocks of the Dolomiten Berge.
This is not a spoof, this is real and they have thousands of hundreds of fans. They are almost bigger than Jesus.
Even ze Pope congratulated them to their 25th stage anniversary.
I congratulate, too!
Good music is always good, even if it is not that good.
UPDATE:
Wau, a song against illegal drugs! It really makes me want to sniff some marihuahner to make it through the song.
High As a Kite
the formidable season finale of californication which culminated in elton john’s “rocket man” left me pretty speechless. first of all, i had to come clear with myself and finally admit that i am a fan of elton john as it seems.
first stop: youtube. the video they offered - featuring lots of apollo footage - reminded me of endless nights i spent on the nasa image exchange back in 2001. one of the finer ressources of high resolution images. a search engine connecting all sorts of media of the national aeronautics and space administration.
another worthwile nasa subsite is the johnson space center’s history portal, where you can even download the scans of the original apollo communication transcripts. you might want to have a look at page 160 of the technical air-to-ground voice transcription of apollo 13, where the words “Houston we’ve had a problem” are typewritten in a searchable pdf file:
02 07 55 19 LMP Okay, Houston - -
02 07 55 20 CDR I believe we’ve had a problem here.
02 07 55 28 CC This is Houston. Say again, please.
02 07 55 35 CDR Houston, we’ve had a problem. We’ve had a MAIN B BUS UNDERVOLT.
the original handmade apollo 13 co2 filter.
the whole text makes a good reading when you are bored on a long haul flight.
call me oldfashioned
yesterday was fleamarket at pop in.
although i was not allowed to have my merguez stand, it was a lot of fun.
best of all, i found a pretty picture disc. i guess i spent more money than i earned there. while it was cold and rainy outside, i comforted myself with a little bit of summer feeling. kiss my ass, november.
custom cars and tasty trinks from nippon
somedays, i want hug the shit out of japan.
flatscreens in your headrests! (is that the word?)

i still can’t believe it. good product!
both clips from them lofely people at ugur skeite.
slow evening
mhmm.
crisps. cigarettes. cheap mousseux. and walt disney.
i love those singing animals.
my friend makes peace, bikes and records
my friend fabien fabre has an exhibition going on with his hand made bicycles.
he makes them with his bare hands! they are extremely refined.
one of the few guys that still uses wooden rims. but that is just one of the more obvious facts.
there are some parts incorporated that did the tour de france in the fifties.
all parts are premium quality that match his almost ridiculous standards.
this means that basically every screw has a pedigree. most of the parts come from craftsmen that are among the last ones on this planet that have the - ouh a french word! - savoir faire for their production.
appart from that he also has a record coming out. the vinyl is as detailed, as his bikes. well, almost. the first etched 12″ i came across in modern times. plus it is hilarious.
but then again, these are just his hobbies on the side.
