Again sitting in the ICE from Frankfurt to Berlin, I am hoping that the train will be late by about 35 to 40 minutes. In Frankfurt we were only late by about 15 minutes. Only? Wanting to be late?! Yes, yes, yes, yes. Why?
Convinced? I hope.
Yeah! Rock’n’Roll! Right now I’m sitting in the ICE from Frankfurt to Hamburg. The train has already left Hannover behind. I’m driving through the heartland of good old Lower Saxony. Temperatures here seem to be much more in the pleasant range; I would guess something like 21°C (it’s now 20:40h). I’m looking forward very much to arrive back home, drink a fine and cool Malzbier and hang loose. Tomorrow, Kerstin will arrive from Kopenhagen – hooray! This will be a day of Partying! First: welcome girlfriend. Second: Go take a swim in the beautiful river Seeve (probably together with Timo and Berit). Third: Dress up. Fourth: Go to the wedding of Meik and Katja. Fifth: Get drunk. You can probably guess the rest :D
Be jealous, yours truly will soon haunt the world famous Nordheidemetropole!>
Right now I am parked at David’s office in the sociology department of the University of Mannheim. You can look at a portait of the staff here (including David – the Photoshop’ed guy :-) )He’s got business, I’ve got time to blog.
The electronic equipment here seems to be quite up to date, the offices however are depressing examples of 60ies university/office architecture: small tubes with greyishly painted metal walls, and bad air circulation. Only exception to the blandness of the office is the view on the city. Not to grand in itself, but at least it opens a perspective to something other than enclosed and regulated production of knowledge…
I’ll see if I can take some pictures there and perhaps post them here. Some new media added to the blog…
