As we did not manage to go to any of the movies from the previous CPHPIX film festival that sounded interesting or just weird enough we made a small list instead. Yesterday we managed to tick off the first one: Tucker & Dale vs. Evil!
It won prizes on a few other festivals and … man, it was weird!
Nothing intellectual, but quite funny …
Today I finally managed to get some gingerbread onto my Nexus mobile phone.
And yes we are talking Android versions here, not sweets!
Until now I haven’t received any update after 2.2.1 … so I finally decided to downgrade to an older but original Google firmware … and tada! … I immediately got the upgrade notice for gingerbread (being Android version 2.3.4)!
Went kinda nicely, just had to approve all previously installed applications and setup all my accounts once again.
But now I am happy on gingerbread ;)
Another “Honour & Glory” betting event passed … another IIHF World Champion!
Congratz to Finland, for an amazing final and a certainly deserved result!
As for the betting part: unfortunately only the core hockey contestants took part, but still we have winners to celebrate ;)
Congratz: mom, Lisa and me :)

To be slightly more specific: Smokey Joe got a place on our balcony, replacing its predecessor Electric Joe.
And to be fully specific: the new Joe is our new portable charcoal BBQ, from now on doing the grilling job on the balcony (in the new apartment we are actually allowed to use it there) and in the parks.
Hmm … I am looking forward to some serious BBQing with this guy …
Smokey Joe is a registered trademark of Weber (also source of the image).
Even at lunch in the NBI canteen I learned something today … chocolate chicken stew is actually quite nice. Yes you read right, we had chocolate chicken stew in the institute canteen today!
After several year of suffering from and boycotting the DESY canteen in Zeuthen I rediscovered canteen food here Copenhagen. It’s no haute cuisine but it’s fairly good food, which is for Danish standards and compared to DESY not too expensive …
Besides that we had “cake day” at the institute as well … meaning, the whole institute met under the nice magnolia tree in front of our building and ate cake that various people brought … brownies, chocolate, blueberry and marzipan cake … had the all … hmmm
