More Winter in Munich
Today I left a ridiculous amount of money in Munich because, despite the freezing cold, Becca and I bought so many beautiful things. First of all, two DVDs with Japanese films: Kiki’s Delivery Service, a Studio Ghibli anime (like Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle), about the little witch Kiki and her funny black cat Jiji opening a small delivery service in the bakery of the kind Okino. Such a cute movie. Then the complete opposite: Izo, where the ghost of a samurai wanders around killing people — first his mother, his lover, his friends, and in the end he even confronts God himself. I also bought two CDs: one by Utada Hikaru — “Be My Last,” of course including a nice bonus video DVD — and one by the frontwoman of my favorite band the brilliant green: Tommy heavenly6 with her self-titled album. On top of that, I picked up an issue of the Japanese magazine Popeye, a copy of Muteen, two posters of kagerou and Merry, an iPod cassette adapter so I can finally listen to my iPod in the car (yes, we still have a cassette player in our car… g), and the Mac game Tropico 2, where you’re a pirate king building up an island à la Anno 1502. So cool. I also ate the biggest sandwich of my life at Subway — of course with double cheese and bacon. So good. Oh yeah, Basti — thanks for your repeated praise (always nice to hear g). You’re right, the links page should probably look different. Let’s see what can be done about that. Finally, I’d like to briefly respond to my good friend André, who was ranting about GQ magazine: I’ve been collecting that magazine since 2002. So don’t be so cheeky g. In that sense: take care and have a great evening, everyone. I’m off to become king of the pirates!!
