is that it really?

By Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. I saw this remarkable, intense movie. A young couple, unemployed, he makes money with small crimes, they have a baby. It’s all her new sense of live and optimism, he is more distant concerned and focused on his business, the baby more of a burden and unresolved problem than an…

Montana Ave, Santa Monica. Something typical for LA. I noticed this area for the first time only when I had to go to Pacific Palisades past the borders of Santa Monica and recently on the way to a friend’s place around there. In Santa Monica the focus is 3rd Street promenade, a pedestrian zone hardly…

One former defense official, who still deals with sensitive issues for the Bush Administration, told me that the military planning was premised on a belief that “a sustained bombing campaign in Iran will humiliate the religious leadership and lead the public to rise up and overthrow the government.” He added, “I was shocked when I…

An der UCLA anlaesslich einer entsprechenden Austellung am dortigen Voelkerkundemuseum zelebrierten heute verschiedenste Gruppen aus allen Ecken der Welt ihre Fasnachtsbraeuche, unter anderem eine Clique aus Basel.

I was in the bus on my way home on this rainy evening when susan called me. She will visit new york in two weeks. I believe she has strange feelings about it. We don’t see each other anymore on regular basis, only occasionally and only quick. And every time she’s telling me afterwards about…

I thought I need to write something reasonable today, but I don’t feel like.Personal, very comlicated, maybe not, I don’t know, I don’t know anything anymore about it, I don’t know what to think about, I don’t know if this is some sort of nightmare…I need to come back later. Good night, and good luck.

Today daffodils for everybody shopping at Trader Joe’s. A small nice smile that keeps people alive. There are mostly young people working at trader joe’s, aspiring actors and actresses, writers, film makers, models, students and these kind of people. And similar are the clients. Urban, casual, liberal, intellectual probably. Often there are political groups at…
