This weekend I was back in the city of Berlin … and the weekend was BIG and exhausting!
I started out as black hole on Friday’s Halloween Party, continued as a guide talking about the LHC and stuff for about 5h at the Weltmaschine exhibition on Saturday (after just 4h30min of sleep), watched the new Coen Brothers movie “Burn After Reading” (which was amusing as usual) and had some very nice ‘price on request’ filet steak at Escados Berlin (hmmm tasty).
On Sunday I restarted with another 5h of talking about the LHC at the exhibition and had another nice dinner …

LHC Inauguration and LHCfest
Its been a nice party with some nice orchestra and some cool movies to start out with. After a speech by Robert Aymar and some strange slideshow with orchestra music (well only live for the Inauguration, we got the recording of it) the quite nice buffet was opened … as usual a mess … no wonder with 3000 physicists ;)
Anyway all the classic CERN bands were playing … Les Horribles Cernettes, the CERN Jazz Club Reunion and the Canettes Blues Band. We also had a special appearance of the LHC-Rap performers featuring the head of the LHC as one of the posers ;)
Fleamarket, Gimbap, Champagne Party and the Jura Mountains
After starting into the weekend with some very nice and tough badminton matches, some Orangina drinking and almost last tram missing, I continued on Saturday with the Plains Palais fleamarket, some troubles to go through to get a drill that has a hammer/action, Korean Gimbap selfmade with my flatmates and a Champagne Party at Troels’ place … almost won the music quiz with my team and went home kind a late.
Still today I woke up fairly early and was convinced to go for a hike in the Jura mountains … unfortunately the bowling that was supposed to give this weekend the proper close, wasn’t at all as good as the mountains … the lanes were quite shitty and they had this cosmic bowling thingy going on … man!
300
Finally managed to watch one of the movies that was on my “2watch”-list for quite some time … “300” is another fine piece of fantasy, historical action movie.
For those of you that like these kind of movies you should certainly give it a try (for the other, maily female, readers … theres a lot of half naked greek warriors ;)
Anyway … its a cool movie to watch on a Sunday morning ;)
Hard Core Logo
Just had my first video night at my new place in Geneva watching “Hard Core Logo” … well, you don’t know it … it kind’a has a reason … its quite nice to watch, but its definitly not going to be one of my favourites …
it reminded me a little of this “This Is Spinal Tap” movie (which they are also refering to twice in the movie) … so if you like that, give it a try …
To sum up: its kind of a documentary about a band (called Hard Core Logo, surprise!) and a guy making a documentary about them … confused? … well, the guy making the docu is actually the guy making the docu … even more confused? … shish … just watch it or leave it …
