Snowboooaaarding! [Update]

Family & Friends, Geneva, Snowboarding, Switzerland

Aaahhhh … what a day … I finally managed to go snowboarding for the second time this season … hmm … beautiful place (Verbier) and beautiful weather … but now I am destroyed …
Great day that was almost not going to happen, since my board was caught in a basement where everyone that had a key to it was gone over the weekend … man … but luckily Esben was so nice to borrow me his board to save the day … thanks man!

[Update]
I just remembered to mention that I even jumped out of the lift to get the real off-piste experience … rock on!

Amazon Germany now with mp3 downloads

Music

Since today Amazon Germany also offers mp3 downloads … just had a discussion with a friend about Amazon … by now you can buy almost everything at theirs … of course there is other online shops, but since I’m a fan … why not mention it …
And if you buy stuff using this link I’ll love it even more ;)

Clockwork Orange and Be Kind Rewind

Movies


Another two ‘interesting’ movies … the first one, ‘Clockwork Orange’ directed Stanley Kubrick, was certainly special. Even though I read the book, I was still kinda surprised. I guess you either like it or you don’t. And even though I liked the book, in case of the movie I would fall in the latter category.
The other one, ‘Be Kind Rewind’ … well, it has its jokes, but … after all another low class comedy.

Addendum in movies

Movies

Due to my recent illness I completely forgot to write posts about some of the movies I have seen recently …

We started out with “Bladerunner” … a classic by Ridley Scott with Harrison Ford based on the book “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?” (see previous post) by Philip K. Dick … old (and one always has to get used to it again) but nice movie …

Next one was the “The Bucket List” with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as two old guys at the end of their lives trying to do as many of the things they always wanted to do but never did … unfortunately kinda lame movie …

And the last one was “L’ Auberge Espagnole” … a movie about some strange economics student and his Erasmus year in Barcelona … unfortunately not really to recommend, just as the previous one …

Well, sometimes you’re lucky and sometimes you’re not … let’s hope we’re more lucky with the next one …

Unlock Deezer

Music, World Wide Web

Just patched a little Greasemonkey script to unlock the full features of Deezer!
Which was until they locked all songs in Germany my most favourite web radio.
Now we’re back at that point … ;)
