Past, Present and Future!

Something I have wished for, for so long, is Chris Markers "La Jetée" ciné-roman. I a couple a days ago I got it as a total unexpected present, which are the best kind of presents.
La Jetée is my favorite movie. For tree reasons, it is a beautiful story about love combined with pictures and text, both equally poetic. It is shot in only still pictures, with only one motion picture in the 30 minutes, and therefore it also make sense, to publish it as a book.
The best thing is that there are pictures in the book which are not included in the movie and vise verse, and the text is written in both English and French.
If you have not seen the movie, I can recommend to do so (it was also the inspiration for "12 monkeys"). It is a beautiful movie, about love, life and time travel, which leave room for reflection long after it's over, and it only gets better the second time an third time etc.

Salt und Süßigkeiten!

 

I got a package in the mail today, full of goodies to say "Happy Birthday", salt and sweet.

Mums!

Roof with a View!

Claudia and I went to two openings after work. First one was the from the students at Weißensee kunsthögschule, which was placed in an old pavilion in one of Berlins many parks.
Most impressive of all was the rooftop construction they build, reviling 3 cars on the top, when we climbed the stairs.

Second we went to an opening in "Sprüth Magers" located across the street. Here I only had time, to see one of the artists, Andrea Zittel who I was told, mostly build different types of mobile homes. I somehow really liked this one, with all the little boxes filled with household stuff etc. The big room was also very impressive, and I think I will try to find the time and go back and see the rest of the exhibition.

Zum Geburtstag!

So today it was my birthday, and I had a really nice day. I started my day opening the letters I received from Denmark.

I went to have American Style brunch together with Vincent, and it was the best brunch I have had for a long time. And the view from our outside table was really nice on this sunny day.

 Later in the day I went to the park. Stine and I decided to have a last minute "Geburtstag Feier" with a few friends.

I made a trail of Danish flags so everyone would know where to go.

We had soap bubbles in the sun. 

The other Birthday girl

She made a Sponge-bob birthday cake.

And I made my favorite chocolate cake.

 She gave me a really nice summer hat.

And I brought her a plant, since I didn't have time to finish her present.

There were flags everywhere.

And though the weather was really nice, It rained for a few minutes, while the sun was still shining. Luckily we sat under a tree.

I almost wish that I could have a birthday every day since this day was so nice. So thanks to everyone who made this day special and thought of me, and wished me a happy birthday.

Busy Bee!

Luckily the weather yesterday was amazing, cause Hadas had a going away open air party, before she is leaving for the far east. It had Party decorations, wild animals and a cool dj in a suit but barefooted, placed comfortable in the shadow.

I could sadly not stay there for long, as I was engaged somewhere else. Elisabeth, Teal and I had made dinner plans. We were going out on Girls night, but also as a little bachelorette party, since soon, Teal will no longer be a Miss. We went to Schlesisch Blau and later we went dancing in the red.

Chinz Pattern!

Today I am wearing this. Is suits my mood and the wonderful weather.

Red Lights!

I think one of the things that I will remember most from the Berlin Nightlife is the red light that seems to be everywhere when you go out. Last night was no different. Markus and Bastian's band "I have no mouth and I must scream" was playing a concert together with two other bands at Raum 20.
It was a really nice night and a nice concert with lots of drinks, dance, funny drawings and familiar faces, everything in the memory of red.
