Een Opruff
Elo grad ass mer eng Email an d’Haus geflattert vum Philippe Schockweiler (porte parole vun Déi Jonk Gréng), dee mech op den äusserst graven Probleem vum Zübeyde Ersöz higewisen huet. Deenen Leit, déi elo net direkt wessen, wien dat ass a wat et mat där Affaire op sech huet, sief gesot, dass et sech em…

Raison d’être
Thou can see our immobilized faces, Thou can see our deadened eyes, Pain silenced us, but thou can hear our cries, And feel us suffer in thy unending mazes. If memories could forgive and the wind could sing, If angels could cry and fall could become spring, If pain could be healed with a single…

fuzzy view on something pin sharp (or backwards)
tousled black hair and a couple of blue streaks within, some gold and silver glistening at crack of dawn, a greyish sweater and pastel leggings well-fitting: if perfection existed, i wouldn’t be surer that you’re true. a few tears dashed away by the acid or beneficient rain, a body drowned in stiff whisky parched but…

RhEINKULTUR
I hope I don’t have an exam on July 1st, it would be kinda cool to go and see Coheed & Cambria and The Subways live. :) (Link)

Hush
(Here’s the story based on the introduction proposed by Serge. If you haven’t voted yet, you can still do so.) The wall was not there. But it should have been, right there under the pourring rain, under the wet foggy cloak that the downfall was provoking. Instead there was nothing, only suspended waterdrops in a…

life is beautiful
i read through my diary. do you still call it that way even if it’s word-processed or is there a special word for that kind of journal? the last entry was on february fifteenth last year. i’m lucky i remembered the password, it’s quite a high security one. i wonder how i survived all of…

Who could this be?
He doesn’t look anything like you would imagine the character he’s playing, he doesn’t like guns, he can’t handle the gear shift in sports cars, wears a lifejacket on a boat and doesn’t know how to play poker (though that’s a crucial aspect of the movie)? And anyhow, I just can’t imagine this woman as…

This and that
As wretched as 24 has become (that show definitely jumped the shark, without further discussions), as worthwile Smallville is getting (it’s going to be an exciting season finale I think… James Marsters is so great!) :) Am I too addicted to series?

Happy Birthday
To the greatest late night showmaster. Oh, and to a great comedian, too. :)

&A
Nobody got the right answer, so it’s probably my task to explain what these actors have in common. The answer, in a nutshell, is: they all belong to the Brat Pack. Now, what is that, you might ask. The expression Brat Pack is, obviously, an allusion to the famous Rat Pack in the 1960s and…

No comment
Well, maybe a tiny one: probably she doesn’t even understand what she’s singing about, but the lyrics strangely fit if one can believe all the rumours. If your musical taste is anywhere near the Britney Spears – Avril Lavigne et al. level, you might enjoy the song, if not, better not watch this clip. :)

June 5th, 2009
I’m not really someone who likes to plan ahead, most of the time I’ve long lost interest in those things when the date finally gets closer. And now I’m looking at the dates for the next three years of my life, which have already been fixed. I can see when I’m going to be back…

Remember, Remember the 5th of November
Whoever wrote this dialogue was a genius. :) Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and…

Now it’s up to you :)
I feel like trying something different and here’s what I’ve on my mind: I propose three short paragraphs to you and you can tell me which one should be the beginning of a short-story. If you don’t like any of the three, feel free to suggest another one. :) 1. He was standing in front…

Stumble – A Reprise
You sit in front of the screen and stare at this virtually blank page. Your life is absent without leave, your thoughts scurried off to another world. You’re too tired to have the illusion of the letters on your keyboard dancing. Everything around you sounds louder and moves slower. It’s perhaps that girl you saw…

What happened on March 28th?
Go to www.wikipedia.com and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, two births and one death in your journal, including the year. Events 1910 – Henri Fabre becomes the first person to fly a seaplane after taking off from a water runway near Martigues, France. 1930 – Constantinople and Angora…

Stolen (?)
Suicidal Tendencies: I saw your mommy… Puddle of Mudd: She hates me These two songs just coincidentally played right one after the after and I noticed something I didn’t notice before: did Puddle of Mudd steal the guitar riffs of Suicidal Tendencies’ song? I never thought of Puddle of Mudd as ingenious, but I didn’t…

Softwareproblem
Got this by email: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Voriges Jahr bin ich von der Version ‘Freundin 7.0’ auf ‘Gattin 1.0’ umgestiegen. Ich habe festgestellt, dass das Programm einen unerwarteten Sohn-Prozess gestartet hat und sehr viel Platz und wichtige Ressourcen belegt. In der Produktanweisung wird ein solches Phänomen nicht erwähnt. Außerdem installiert sich ‘Gattin 1.0’…

You Have Killed Me
Pasolini is me Accattone you’ll be I entered nothing and nothing entered me ‘Til you came with the key And you did your best but As I live and breathe You have killed me Yes I walk around somehow But you have killed me You have killed me I love alternative music. I love Morissey.…

Brian – A Fragment
The last snow was falling on the dead trees when Michael left his house that morning. He smiled seeing Jane talking to the little boy who brought her the newspaper. He still didn’t know the boy’s name after having lived in this small suburb of Montreal for half a year. Her laughter made him forget…

Teaser: “The Regulars”
A short-story about an old crowd coming back together after forty years at their former regular pub to commemorate a late friend. Soon. Only here. :)

Inane (II)
Molten metal dropping down a burnt cheek, Bleeding bullet holes in the corner of an eye, Mouldered lungs breathing noisily in a haze, Pierced girl under a putrid tree. A half-dead creeping past Incinerated children he once knew, A hopeless weeping through The mortal remains of defunct people. Some are breathing fire and brimstones, Much…

It sounds so true it’s sad…
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can…
