This movie critique will not have the same structure as my previous ones. Because this movie is simply different.
Last night at 7:30 pm I sat down in the movies, hoping that the movie was really as good as so many critics had said previously. The ice-cream seller did not show up, so I had to skip my Ben & Jerry’s this time. Last night at about 10:15 om I sat in the movies, watched the end credits, while the lights began to go on again. I sat and thought. Ruminated. And at the same time I was completely mind blown and amazed. Needed ice-cream to sooth my soul for relaxation.

After having a season ticket for three years and having seen many other games before and after this period, finally the tour of the soccer stadium in Frankfurt followed. I had given it to my father as a Christmas present and it was about time we went there and did the tour.
The meeting point was at the east side. There a group of about 20 people gathered. Some were dressed in an Eintracht Frankfurt jersey, others really were asking for it: one arrived in a Dortmund jersey, a young boy even in a Bayern Munich jersey. And if that was not bad enough, it was one with Ribéry’s name on the back. Comment of the tour guide: “My boy”, and points and his jersey “you are at the totally wrong place here with that thing on.” Lovely start!

The last weeks I hardly found the time to take photos. Between my last week of this semester, an important Birthday celebration and its organization and a visitor from the US family, there was not much time left. That is why now I will catch up on the project: second last (#08 light purple), last (#09 sand-brown) and this week (#10 light blue).

A few weeks ago, the American fashion store Forever 21 released a new clothing line. That itself is not something spectacular, but “Love 21 Maternity” is, as the name already says, a maternity line. And that in a store, which aims at customers of ages between 14 and 25.
And that is not all: Currently, the line is only available in five US-States. Two of these five states, California and Texas, have had the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the last years. Now of course one will ask, to what extent this was a criteria to promote the new line in exactly those states.
(via)
Surely, it is profitable to promote the line in those states, where they will be bought the most – that is a general marketing stragedy right out of the books. But do they not promote teenage pregnancies at the same time? Is Forever 21 actually now glamourizing teenage pregnancy?

It is over. The end. Germany ranks third, after losing against the later world champion Spain in the semi-finals. The world cup 2010 ended with a rather moderate and brutal final, in which an English referee summed up the referees performances throughout the whole competition. Thomas Mueller was named Best Young Player, which he highly deserved; and at this point I feel kind of old, because he is younger than me. What is next? What will we, or rather me personally, remember from the world cup in South Africa? There were delights, but also absurdities.

It is the famous morning after. The morning after the night, when the dream of the fourth star for Germany is over. Yesterday around 10:20 p.m. I had the feeling that everyone was in complete silence. Everyone simply stared at the television, while the Spanish celebrated, the Germans cried and walked over the field with their heads down. Everything seemed implausible and no one knew, what to say next.
Thereby, every person handles a loss differently: one begins to clean up, while others listen to the following, rather absurd, interviews. And another stands alone secludedly and looks up into the sky. It seems, as if an own dream stayed unfulfilled.
But why is that? Continue reading “The day after”
Germany made it into the semi-finals! Amazing! Which means that we will definitely see two more games. And so far, Germany has done well in the round of the last 16. Here a short overview…
Round of 16 – England vs Germany 1-4: The ball was not in the goal.
___________
Quarter final – Argentina vs Germany 0:4: Taken apart in bits and pieces.
___________
And a preview for tonight:
Semi final – Germany vs Spain (my prediction: 3:2): The Spanish will be squeezed out and squished!
By the way: Paul was also wrong for his prediction at the Euro Cup ’08 final (Germany vs Spain). My theory: He is simply nervous, when it comes to this specific match, because Spanish love Calamari. That confuses him and makes him predict wrong ;) Enjoy tonight’s match and: Go Germany!
Last week’s color BLACK in the project Commit to Color 2010 technically is not really a color. That is at least what my Physics teacher told me in seventh grade – a time when I actually was a little interested in Physics. But now to my week’s photo: there are many black things and at first I thought of just simply taking a photo of a black screen, but then I came across this…
On this photo is my moleskine calender. If I ever lost it, I would be totally messed up, since I write everything in it. From appointments, university homework, notes, thoughts, addresses, numbers… It is a part of me. On top of the calender is another part of me: my cellphone Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. That also is always in my bag and has been through a lot already.
