Fun

this weekend we’re again gonna go to gensingen , to take part in a masters competition of the ssv ingelheim . today i went to buy our tickets (three people; pesche and another guy from basel and me). as you can see in the image to the left, it was rather a big undertaking.

the problem is that we all have different schedules: i’m starting in bern, the two others are starting in basel. then we proceed all together to gensingen. on sunday we travel back home together, but only until karlsruhe. pesche and me are stopping there, to visit an old friend (rouge , you know him too, it’s mike bucko…). the third man is directly going home from there. pesche and me are having diner with mike and then pesche is gonna go home to be ready for his work-week. since i got two days off work, i’m gonna stay a bit longer and enjoy karlsruhe.

oh my god, my finger looks really crooked! i was not fast enough to get a decent picture, but in the true spirit of fuh2.com i thought it’s worth it.

chris dibona shot some really impressive high-speed-snapshots (literally!) of people popping a ballon. you can see the whole set of images on chris’ flickr-page . most of images are just really brilliant. a really nice project, i wonder if my dsc-t3 can be triggered externally…

since jan seems to like silly games , i got one for him here: tontie , some kind of whack-a-mole, but with a twist, which you’ll find out while playing

raph[1] posted a funny movie over at velocites blog: how not to win a race (.wmv-plugin necessary). rather bad luck.

[1] he returned from basel as the fastest european messenger . and rachel and nicola from bern also are european champions, rachel was the fastest woman on track and nicola is the best bunny-hopper. congratulations from me!

past saturday i went to the migros to buy some stuff for my weekend. and just because we had acute chocolate craving, nina and me bought two kinder eggs at the checkout. when i opened mine back home, i was quite stunned that there was a little car in it (which is not really stunning per se). the car was a smart forfour which consisted of four parts, so it was not even a challenge to put the thing together. since when do they put advertisement into chocolate?

want a cheap grill (for 1 or 2 CHF)?

go to migros or coop, grab a trolley and fire away.

monday night i went to see the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy (with a towel). i finished the book on the sunday before, so i had all fresh in my mind. i thought i will be disappointed with the movie, ‘cause let’s face it, there’s just not enough time to fit all the gags from the book into one movie (sequel anyone?).

nonetheless i enjoyed the movie a great bit (my flatmates rita and dan also did), it’s very fast paced and chockfull of references to the book, but also chockfull of new ideas, some of them really brilliant. if you go and see the movie, wait through the credits, in the end, there’s another entry of the guide for you to see (warning: spoiler behind the link).
