Give me colours! Because autumn is coming – with all it’s glory and luminous intensity! Yes, maybe it still is a little bit too early for the first pumpkins. But who could honestly resist? They smile at you in the fields, scream at you, and really want to be taken away by you. Like every year in September. Continue reading The Pumpkin and the Squirrel

Daydreams in the Grass…
Do you remember? Back in the old days our world was so simple. Our real problems seemed so small to us and our little worries were so meaningful. We used to lie in the grass, giggling, arms and legs outstretched, and holding hands. And we stared into the sky, carefree. We counted the fluffy clouds that passed by and lovingly bickered about if that one looked more like a rabbit or like a unicorn. On that day our biggest concern was if there still was some ice cream in the freezer and that we had to leave for home eventually. We made plans for our future that should never happen this way, built castles in the air out of dreams and wishes whilst understanding each other without words.

Film food: The Heart Warmer
It is so comforting to make burgers with an agitated mind! The hands are moving almost automatically; the brain knows what nice things to do out of flour, milk, egg, butter, and yeast and a somewhat odd looking piece of transverse rib, while the thoughts are actually distracted completely. They are far away, still so lost in reverie and concerned with the impressions just experienced. The feelings do not care at all about the fact that it was not real and „just an anime series“ which you almost inhaled during the past hours: The head is still full with the pictures, filled with the music, and the impact. The heart is still racing and also feels a bit numb. The thoughts are in uproar, while I almost feel a little sad because it is over and I had to leave that world… So they really still exist, those gripping TV-series, that just won’t let you go and that achieve to really bother you deep down! Even if you have to look at the subtitles for understanding everything. Continue reading Film food: The Heart Warmer
Sebastian’s Gyū Tataki Don
*Warning: This post may content traces of Japanese anime!*
On days like these I wish I had a butler. Work ist overwhelming and the household screams for attention: laundry, cooking, cleaning. Here a small thing to do, there a phone call and then a cat starts to suffocate on it’s daily fur ball. Yes, a butler really would be perfect! The laundry would be so much softer and it would smell much more nicely than I could ever manage to achieve. The food would be splendid and extraordinary, every single day. Our home would be polished to perfection and tidied up – no grain of dust, not a single cat hair in every corner or under the couch. I wouldn’t need to worry about anything, except for doing my work and live as I like. Whenever I want to, I could have a nice cup of tea and for that I would just have to ring a bell. What would I give for such a helper…! Continue reading Sebastian’s Gyū Tataki Don
„Nothing-at-home-no-time“ pasta
In my mind I’m walking along a plain; on a broken world. The earth here is purple coloured, the soil sparse and small islands float in the sky around me. In front of me a monster arises from nothing and rumples with its giant feet, squeaking with its metallic joints. I am tiny in comparison, a fragile blood elf and still I confront it. I rise my hands and cast a fire ball, another one. The nether wind whistles through my hair, the air sizzles by the flames and my green eyes glow. This is where I belong! Next to me a paladin crosses the way of the monster to confront it and deflect it from me – fighting just is better done together and it is always nice to have a paladin for a friend. The boss goes down, we raid the loot and lovingly fight about the blue item in the TeamSpeak while proceeding to the next adventure with lots of new experience points.
