📄 The longest flat
This month – April of 2022 – I set a new record: our current flat is now the accommodation that I have been living in the longest since moving out of my parent’s house. We’ve been living here for three years now.

“Consequences be fucking damned”, ey!? Made a corona test this morning after having symptoms, and sure enough, it’s positive. Not feeling great today. But not feeling too bad, either. Feels like a cold so far. You get what you deserve, I suppose.

The Other Latif: Cuba-ish
Almost exactly twenty years ago, detainee 244 got transferred to Guantanamo Bay. Captured by American forces at the battle Tora Bora five months previous, Abdul Latif Nasser was shaved, hooded, shackled, diapered, and flown halfway across the world.

Went to the Ghost concert at Lanxess Arena in Köln on Tuesday. And this was absolutely fantastic. So many great songs, well performed. Plus a great show. I’m usually not too much of a fan of big show elements, but this was honestly good and not over the top, so the music and its performance was still the focus. And I was also sceptical of that big venue. But we were on the floor and it was not remotely sold out, so we could get really close.
The support acts Twin Temple and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats were a great choice, too!
We and our friends – and the whole arena really – had a great time! Although it was admittedly a bit careless regarding Covid. But, I don’t know, I think we really just wanted to go. It felt good to visit a concert again, consequences be fucking damned!

🎬 Donnie Darko
As appropriate for the Easter weekend, we watched a flick with a rabbitin it. And I still don’t know what to make of this. I certainly like theperformances, especially of Jake Gyllenhaal. And it has a nice creepyand mysterious vibe. But in the end it left me wondering what this wasabout. Love? Selflessness? And I felt the movie wanted to explain how itall worked, but then didn’t!? I should probably watch this again sometime.
So, I forgot to cancel my Apple Arcade trial. And on the weekend I had a look for a game to play. And now I’m already addicted to Mini Motorways. 🤷♂️

A one-word magical spell. Several years back, that’s exactly what Joseph Tartaro thought he’d discovered. It was a spell that, if used properly, promised to make one’s problems disappear. And so he crossed his fingers, uttered the word and cast the enchantment on himself. Th...
🎧 Bleeder – Mutoid Man
Regularly putting on this enjoyable and chaotic little album. Interesting arrangements and great playing has me coming back. Reminds me of old Mastodon and Protest the Hero. That opener is a banger!
🎬 Rabbit School: Guardians of the Golden Egg
First time in the cinema with Zoe. We had a good time. But at 4yo Ithought this was probably a bit much for her – although she liked it andpayed attention the whole time. But the fights, the whole YouTube-andsocial media follower-spiel and a long non-trivial story was pretty muchall new to her. But hey, you have to start somewhere. And when she likescinema, I’m all for it. :) The movie itself was fine, although itprobably tried too hard to be hip and modern (but what do I know).
🎬 Duel
Start to finish a suspenseful and very captivating journey. There’s notmuch to complain about. Loved the camera angles and the sound. And thewhole build-up is fantastic. Ace!
