  • Adventures at Matterhorn

    – by guest blogger Armand Csordas – It all started when I found out that I can get a car for tests over the long German reunification weekend. In the office I have a reputation as a fan of front drive family cars, something quite rare in my company, which produces mainly rear drive overpowered race cars. I…

  • Keyboards

      dear God is so annoyingly old-fashioned that he’s gone thousands of years without an upgrade in design. we are obsolete. we continue to be born with hands – tools for tactile emotion – even though there is no one to hold, even though there is no one to touch, even though everything is nothing…

  • Deutschland – Servicewüste?

    Another glorious day for German sales services and German sales people. So I’ve been sick for a week and I’m entering the pharmacy to get some vitamin gummy bears and maybe a nose spray. The only shop assistant present is busy going through the entire cosmetics product range with a middle-aged woman. Besides me, there…

  • My Roommate

    It’s morning. A spider has just rappelled down on my desk, where I was writing a goodbye letter. He stopped an inch short of touching it and is hanging there, by his own thread, suspended, like me. I cannot breathe. I’m watching him wrap the whole room up in sticky wordless webs, so nimble, like…

  • Why Women Love (Great) Shoes

    Well, gentlemen, this is a little counter-intuitive, but let’s face it. Ever since we were 4 months old, lying on our backs and able to focus our beautiful eyes for the very first time, what did we perceive? OUR FEET. I know, I know, you were also perceptive during that time – which is why…

  • A (re)început şcoala!

    Un prieten, întors recent din Italia, mi-a trimis poza următoare. I-aş da cu drag sursa, dar n-o stiu, si nici nu ştiu cine sunt personajele din imagine. Mă risc însă şi zic că ar putea fi… oricare dintre noi. Se recunoaşte cineva? :-)   Vă doresc tuturor un nou an şcolar cu bucurii şi succese!…

    Lest we forget, in the hustle and bustle of our lives: “Not – How did he die? But – How did he live? Not – What did he gain? But – What did he give? These are the units to measure the worth Of a man, regardless of birth. Not – What was his station?…

  • Clepsidrele toamnei

    Cât de frumos poate să fie începutul de toamnă!… Un soare blând, abia ghicit, şi-a pierdut incandescenţa; în parc, printre copaci, aburul levitează încă deasupra ierbii. De dimineaţă a fost rouă. Veveriţe nesăţioase îmi intersectează drumul în ţopăieli aprige după ghinde ori alune. Acum traversează şoseaua ca nişte mingi de ping-pong cu coadă blănoasă, de…

  • Sirmione – Garda Lake, Italy

    It was almost a case of force majeure.  We had to find a destination.  The hallowed Italian seaside around Venice had failed us this time, with dark rain pouring down for days on end. We had a choice between staying and facing the deluge at Lido di Jesolo or quickly finding a destination within a…
