CRASH COURSE IN MINDFULNESS

#Iwatched #DavidCronenberg's #EasternPromises (2007) in which #ViggoMortensen plays the driver for the son of a violent Russian mob family in London. When an English nurse inquires about a diary she found on one of her patients, she gets dragged into their […] [Original post on social.cologne]

I got back to playing #FlightOfNova lately, because it's dark and calm and meticulous. A great game to play in the winter. Dawdling around in the settings I noticed it had #headtracking support for looking around the cockpit. I quickly considered getting one […] [Original post on social.cologne]

#Iwatched the heist thriller Thief. #MichaelMann's 1981 debut features many of his trademark neon night driving scenes. It's the story of ex-convict #JamesCaan trying to establish a normal life with waitress #TuesdayWeld, an adopted baby, a house in the […] [Original post on social.cologne]

People try to put ch-chat down (talking 'bout word generation)

I was at a youth soccer game today, because some friends' kid was playing against a local team. I've never been and I expected emotional parents. But everyone was super chill. #kphoto

#Iwatched the gothic horror film #CrimsonPeak (2015) by #GuillermoDelToro, inspired by his favourite classics from #TheInnocents to #TheExorcist. A high mark that this film misses by a long shot, because del Toro can leave nothing to the imagination. The […] [Original post on social.cologne]

#Iwatched Crocodile Dundee (1986) with the roomie, who had never seen it before. The story of an Australian backwoods joker visiting NYC holds up quite well, especially the situations in which he can apply his bush smarts in the concrete jungle of course. And […] [Original post on social.cologne]

just saved this from the trash, someone had thrown out all their old CDs apparently

#Iwatched the #RobbieWilliams bio-film #BetterMan (2024). I was never a fan of Williams or Take That, but I did like some of his solo material. And I thought that the cocksure coolness he displayed in music videos like The Road to Mandalay would translate well […] [Original post on social.cologne]

#Iwatched The Bikeriders (2023) which tells of the origins of the Outlaws motorcycle club in the 1960s, from a bunch of guys doing dirt races on weekends to a sprawling violent club scene that slowly spirals out of the control of it's president and his […] [Original post on social.cologne]

I've been working with this foreign colleague for months now. While we wade together through code that look like swamps of Dagobah, he always remains super formal. After slaying the 3rd dreadful ancient bug, he'll still say "Good day to you" and I feel compelled to say the same thing back. Like […]

lately I've been playing the remastered version of #Uncharted4AThiefsEnd and I have opinions about it: the story features adults who have complicated relationships and the swiftly changing scenery is often spectacular to look at. but the interactive focus is […] [Original post on social.cologne]

some mastodon specific tips for our new #fuckaas - your content is tied to your instance, if you move you cannot take it with you, only leave a note where you can be found. you can take your follows and followers with you though - mastodon marks follows as "dormant" in your prefs if they haven't […]

what I call the Dirty Dancing stairs actually leads up to an official boules play area. that doesn't keep me from doing dance moves on those steps of course #kphoto

after visiting the Egyptian exhibit I was reading a lot about #tutankhaton (I still refuse the -amun postfix) and that's how I learned about the #dakhamunzu affair...now that sort of stuff is just catnip to me: after the death of the pharao his widow wrote to the enemy Hittite king #suppiluliuma […]

since a recent post reminded me of it, #Iwatched #FromDuskTillDawn again today. and I think that knowing what to expect, I enjoyed it a lot more than in 1996. #GeorgeClooney is impossibly cool, #Tarantino is hilariously creepy and #JulietteLewis is the secret […] [Original post on social.cologne]

in the early 1980s #StewartCowley's #TerranTradeAuthorityHandbook series was released as magazines in Germany. when I learned about them in the late 90s these were already collectors pieces. they contain a lot of great #scifiart and endless far future history […] [Original post on social.cologne]

a white #wolf I saw in 2021, living with its pack (of regular dark wolves) in a large open air enclosure. I barely got to see the rest of them though, because we missed feeding time #kphoto
