Nineteen Eighty-Four
Just finished reading George Orwells’ classic dystopian novel describing a dark future under a repressive, totalitarian regime.
Looking at today’s increasing surveillance and restrictions on the rights of the individuals, it’s quite interesting to read this story already published in 1949.
Certainly readable, even though not always entertaining just because of the topic it’s about …
Nevermore
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door –
Only this, and nothing more.’
You may ask yourself why? It’s Edgar Allan Poe’s 200th birthday today!
Movie Night 3
What a night … yesterday we had another game day in our little foosball league.
With only two matches scheduled (even though one was a very important one, for the league and me … which was a draw btw.) we had lot of time left for movies afterwards … and we pretty much used all of it ;)
We started out with ‘Thank you for smoking’, went on with ‘Kops’ and finished the night (and us) with ‘Heat’.
All of them where great, although only the first one was new for me. It’s about a guy representing the tobacco industry and all the mess that comes around with being in such a position … really nice movie, hereby recommanded! The other two are classics already. A swedish commedy about some police station in the swedish outback that is to be closed
and its appendant officers … fun!
And of course the one and only Heat … the street fight is legendary … hmm … and DeNiro and Pacino did the rest.
Finally some skiing
Yesterday, I finally managed to go skiing (or better snowboarding) for once this year (and unfortunately maybe also for this season).
I went to Les Diablerets with some friends (greetz) and spent a whole day in the boots … ;)
Great fun even though we left Geneva at about 6:30 am!
We rounded off the day with a nice dinner (actually I had another one with my roomies afterwards … also very nice).
