Almost forgot to write a blog entry about recent developments … though there were quite some!
But the recent developments kept me a bit busy.
January 31st my son Erik was born :)
Everything is well and he’s already looking around exploring the world.
And today he also pissed on my for the first time … :|
Oh, it’s going to be a great time :)
I build that sitting at home sick :(
It’s the latest addition to the club:
a female ATLAS stature.
In addition, I updated/improved the small ATLAS model and will test it soonish. And finally, I just got the confirmation, that the pieces for the second large model are on their way to me :)
After quite some time, here’s another update on the movies side … and it is also my first payed rental movie from the iTunes Store. “Unknown” features quite a nice story in a very nice setting, being Berlin. It’s about a man who, after awakening from a coma, has to find out that someone has taken his identity … I wont write more, not to spoil a movie worth seeing.
“Erst wenn die letzte Eigentumswohnung gebaut, der letzte Klub abgerissen, der letzte Freiraum zerstört ist, werdet Ihr feststellen, dass der Prenzlauer Berg die Kleinstadt geworden ist, aus der ihr mal geflohen seid.”
Which translates into something like:
“Only when the last condominium built, the last club demolished, the last free space destroyed, you will find that Prenzlauer Berg has become the small town you once fled from.”
Is the beautiful, but sad statement that was made on a banner in the window of “Klub der Republik”, the latest addition in clubs closed down in Berlin. A sad tradition that has been going on for quite some time, in favour of peaceful living in expensive apartments in Prenzlauer Berg.
There is a full article about dying clubs in Berlin, specifically in Prenzlauer Berg, in a recent issue of Berliner Morgenpost (link). It’s in German though (for a change ;)
… and all the best. I am starting with a full-on influenza :(
Hope you have it better
