Hello g+-kins,
on this lovely Sunday  I want to show you something straight out of my family history. This is my grandmother's sewing box. It is handcrafted and was given to her as she finished her seamstress apprenticeship certification around 1950.
She worked as a professional seamstress most of her life, a job that helped her raise my mother and work from home as my grandfather was mostly away on business. Some of my fondest memories of her include her sewing room, my grandmother hunched over the machine, and zippers of all length and colours hung up on the walls. 
Sadly, she never got to teach me, because I was young and dumb and didn't know any better. When I started learning on my own, she had already passed away. However, this weekend, my Grandfather pulled me aside and told me that my sewing, while of course not professional in any sense of the word, wouldha... more »

I am happy. I even made a picture looking like something the cat dragged in just with a big smile to proof it. Why am I happy, you might ask?

BECAUSE I GOT ACCEPTED! I am going to London for my Master. I am going to do Japanese Studies at the SOAS in London.

JESUS, I am still in shock. This... This is the best possible, the best imaginable thing that could have happened.

Thank you +Paul Snookes for your great help. I couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you +Terry McNeil and +Moritz Tolxdorff for believing in me.

You guys ROCK

So, I made a blue Totoro dress and wore it to the Leipzig Book Fair. It was great fun, and I am proud of myself because the costume is 100% self-made. Yes, even the top underneath.

I am so done with this.

See the first picture? That is the way into our garden. Today, as in “what is this ground thing your keep talking about”. And I have to go in, because we separate our waste and we are annoyingly good people who keep a compost heap and actually use it. So I am walking in.

See that picture, those above the snow, those are not even my knees.

Now look at that. I shouldn’t be complaining, why won’t I have a nice little rest on this bench? Well, maybe because I am scared it will actually break in half with the next snowflake. Poor bench.

No, no, no, NO! You can’t fool me, snowy town panorama. Those people down there are miserable like me, because they have to shovel snow at least twice a day.  

This is the path I just crawled my way up on. I dug it with my body.

And THIS is the path Ishovelled ... more »

I officially had it now with the pigs I am apparently living with in this dorm. So I made a little statement and taped it over our cooking station. THIS is were I am supposed to cook!

I am kinda feeling like a time lord victorious right now. I finally managed to build in all the new parts I got for Christmas, and now my PC is purring like a  little kitty cat. Well, not really, it is actually very quiet, but you get the idea.

New parts include:

Asrock 970 Extreme4
AMD Athlon II X4 640
New 8 GB DDR3 Ram
new DVD burner
new 1 TB hard drive
and a new tower, on which the front USB ports actually work

I am so happy. ^.^

I am so sick it isn't even funny anymore. Had to call an emergency doctor who gave me a shot and told me I had the Norovirus. Oh joy.

Ok, seeing as I haven't posted anything in the last... well... weeks and all, maybe this will appease the gods and friends of G+. This is a little Video I made for a Sherlock Holmes Secret Santa. Enjoy a bit of good natured fun without reichenbach-feels. :)

Just saw the Hobbit in 3D with original sound. It was awesome. I must admit I didn't watch the LotR movies, because I fell asleep in the first one. (dodging stones) But the Hobbit was just brilliant. I will definitely be back for the next one. :)

Hallo allerseits,
Ich bin ein Japanologe aus Frankfurt a.M., doch gebürtig aus dem Erzgebirge. Ich bin zu Google+ gekommen, als es noch Einladungen gab. Zwischen drin war ich wegen eines Auslandsaufenthaltes mal fast ein Jahr lang inaktiv. (Hangouts+Netbook=ARGH).

This is a traditional Japanese soccer match, as performed for example on New Year's to please the Gods. The "sport" is actually a mix between Volleyball and Soccer, as they try to keep the ball up in the air for as long as possible without it touching the ground. This one is from Kyôto (2012-01-04)

Blacksmiths on the Christmas Market

I went back home to our local Christmas Market. There was a Blacksmith, and I forged a little horse shoe. Those hammers are heavy, and I didn't set anything... or anyone on fire. ^.^

Some of you might have noticed, that I was absent in the last days. Or not, idk. I am back home with an family emergency, and will not be posting/hanging out/reacting in appropriate time frames for the time being. Just a quick heads-up for everybody.

Manche von euch haben vielleicht bemerkt, dass ich in den letzten Tagen/Wochen kaum online war. Oder auch nicht. Ich bin zurück in meinem Elternhaus wegen einem Familiennotfall. Also wird es wohl in nächster Zeit keine Posts, Hangouts oder zeitnahme Kontaktantworten geben. Ich wollte das nur vorgreifen.

家族の大変な問題がありますので、親の家に帰りました。ポーストやHangouや答えtなどが今からできない。ごめんなさい。

weird girl challenges

Going shoe shopping with my friends, first order of business is always the same. Go and find the highest heels of the store in your size, put them on and walk around. Just to show you can :)

Verückte Frauen Herrausforderungen

Wenn ich mit meinen Freunden zum Schuhkauf aufbreche, ist die erste Aufgabe im Laden für jeden klar. Es gilt die höchsten Absatzschuhe in der richtigen Größe zu finden, und mit diesen weiter durch die Reihen zu flanieren. Einfach nur, weil man es kann. :)

Hey guys,
I just wanted to tell you all, I am as well as I can be, at home. Everything is going well and we will get through this together as a family. Thank you all for your kind words and advice.

Hallo Leute,

It's a little late, but I don't want you to miss the newest Installment of Chef +Ogawa Fumio 's Kitchen. This time, he does a Japanese style Omelet, which is folded beautifully, and uses mackerels to spice up the old "fish 'n rice". His technique as well as his ingredients are extraordinary, as always. Enjoy!
