hung over

oo yeaahh. yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. but yesterday i played with the band in the closing of the são paulo festival de curta metragens . Basically I started this post yesterday but went to sleep before posting it. So now I will do that. I am reading "ei professor" by the author of angela's ashes.

Read, Volley, Live

What I am just reading: A Biographie of Joseph von Eichendorff from Diogenes Verlag. Since it was my preferred writer in school I really loved this book which joins the literature side of this author with his real life. We come to an end with the Olympics. Right now the US are playing against thae Brazilians in the volley men final. Great game. The US are behind in set but leading 19:15 in the second. They have the fastest serve I have ever seen. I hope the brazilians will win.... What else do I read? Somehow it is more dificult to remember which books you are reading than knowing which films you just saw. Angelas Ashes. Great book about a miserable, catholic irish childhood. Now I read his next book, he is Frank McCourt. Very good read. Funny, honest, fast. "They wouldn't have you the steam of their piss". Hehe. Today I read the Economist and there was the expression. ...."this is harder than nailing jelly to the wall" I think I would like to become a buddhist. Being muslim is really no option. I mean what do you want of a religion, which calls all non-muslims "infidels. Christianism I really already know but have no real talent for it. The concept of sin and all that suffering in your life to get to haven is a bit tiring. Howeber buddishm with its calmness seems attractiv right now. First I have to stop smoking. You cannot do ashtanga vinhasa yoga in a convincing way AND smoke. Then eliminate meat of my diet. It is 2:1 in sets for the US and 15:15 in a great and very beautiful game.

The other day

... At the game turkey switzerland 1 0 50th minute

Me singing

There is a video of me singing a song on youtube...

food crisis

I mean.... the world IS really crazy. Who would have thought, that we have to hear about food crisis again. All of a sudden the price of rice rises 160% in a year and other staple foods follow. Things like this leave me really worried. Nobody understands what really is going on. After food..what's next... a nuclear war about an island in the nortic circle between Russia and.....USA or England... nobody knows. 

I think I'm just a bit drunk. I just ate four cloves of garlic, drank half a bottle of red wine and ate some delicious black chocolate of sprüngli...so far no food crisis here. That's about my 5 cents to world opinion. 

Brasil just found the largest non OPEC oil reserves. I am sure, that this is BAD news for the country. 

cut my hair

I just cut my hair. To be exact Julia cut my hair sitting on a chair in our garage. It feels great..looks ±. but...here it is 

"function before form".

Lazy sunday. Yesterday we played at Remi and Mari's wedding. A little house with garden in the vila madalena. some 200 guests, nearly everybody musician. great sound. Salsa, Ru

mba, Samba, Rock, everything. We played as the last band after a lot of real good ones and the people really liked it, although our sound is really much more simple than theirs. 

The other day at the new auditorio ibirapuera

Ontem fomos no show dos nossos amigos Luiz Bueno e Fernando que formam a dupla DUOFEL que e se apresentou no auditório ibirapuera 

The building conceived by Niemeyer in the 40ties has been constructed only recently with help from TIM and probably other sponsors. The result is sublime. Never have I been fascinated SO much by great architecture. And... much to the contrary of other Niemeyer projects it is even a good concerto hal and useable. Where form meets function. Normally Niemeyer is only form. Museums without walls to hang pictures, cities without walkway for citizens, houses to big to live in, public offices without offices, but everthing veeeery beautiful. 

At the

lawyer's office. the other day I was in the office of a first class lawyer in São Paulo. 10th floor, next to the marginal.

Snow

I just read it. "Snow" by Orhan Pamuk. A very well written book about a turkish refugee, who visits his homecountry after twelve years in exile in germany. In one night he visits a remote little village, where in thick snow a dense story of love, fundamentalism, murder and politics unravels.

I just happen to remember .. .

Carnaval

Recently Read Martin Suter, Der perfekte Freund Super Suspense, geschrieben wie von einem englischen Kurzgeschichten Kõnner.  Dann noch  Pierre Closterman, O grande Circo WWII Ace mit seinen Memoiren. Fantastisch für die welche Flugstories gerne haben. 

How to do yoga

Just Read: Ian McEwan, On Chesil Beach Brilliant story of a young couple getting married just before 68, and split up in their wedding night not beeing able to "consumate" their marriage.  Sound depressing but it is so well written that you just fly through the pages. loooooved id
