Harsh Times
So the guy to whom we owe Training Day, The Fast and the Furious and S.W.A.T. (David Ayer) took my favourite actor (Christian Bale) plus another very cool actor (Freddy Rodriguez) and one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood (Eva Longoria) and created an R-rated movie: Harsh Times. And now I’m supposed to wait another…

Lunch break
Gosh… I’m starving… Just came from a two hour seminar in “Reading Fiction: American Story” which went from noon till 2 pm, now I got almost a whole hour lunchbreak and then comes the “Texts and Contexts” seminar… At least they’re both with Dr Willis, who so far has been quite a cool teacher. “Aaaanywho”…

Beam me up, Scotty

sempiternal
alack my damsel, wearing darbies thou hast to go towards the bough on the ol’ fayre, harkening the claret corses that have gone afore, sans ruth will be thy sepulture. those fritter thy cloths, yon imbrue thou: they are athirst of a public woman and ravishing thou is their catholicity. beshrew them! thou don’t bewray,…

Waste of time
Getting up at 8 am, wandering around the campus trying to figure out where the classroom is, sitting in the classroom till half 10 (sounds Luxemburgish I know, but they say it that way here) for the prof to turn up, going home because he didn’t. Yes, we were told that not all seminars were…

alas my wainwright so beautifically torrible
similitudes of a black cap snatched off simulacra of a leather armlet with prongs mementoes of freckled dimples going with your smile remembrances of blond hair burning through souls did i cry when you disappeared i need the rain as you need the pain want everything in grey as you long for colours while we…

Your dream friend’s girl
A pub somewhere in town. You’re going out with some friends of yours. Nothing special, just an enjoyable evening with good friends. You’re a bit late so they are already there when you arrive. One of them has brought his girlfriend. You already knew that he had one, but you’d never met her. You always…

YYYEEESSS!!!
Ramzi, aka the greatest hacker of all times, is finally celebrating his great comeback with the return of the shadiest, borderline illegal, f*cking coolest internet show ever made! :)

It’s not a love song
Honestly, I had never heard of Maria Taylor although her album 11:11 came out way over a year ago. Now that I heard her music – the video for her single Song beneath the song is available in HD and for free as in beer on Apple – I must admit I am deeply ashamed…

Anstännegt Englesch
E puer Wieder déi ee net an der Schoul léiert, awer muss kennen: – alright? = Salut! (jo, sou begréisst een sech hei) – to have your face off / to be fucked / to be pissed / to be wasted = total besoff sin – to get pied = vun engem Meedchen ofgeleent gin…

A tale of life
Today it is exactly six weeks since my grandfather’s passed away. In the meantime literally everything has changed. It’s been a week and a half since I last visited his grave and now I’m living almost a thousand kilometres away, with a new life, new friends and new hope. I’m savouring this silence under the…

God is a fact!
Wednesday evening the Christian Union here at Glamorgan offered free biscuits and coffee / tea outside the SU. As we were just coming back from a pub down in Ponty and it was freezing, we decided getting a free hot drink would be worth talking a bit about Jesus. The girl who gave us the…

Sono pazzi questi britannici! Ma c’è un’eccezione molto bella.
La sera ieri era, come dire, pieno di sorprese, soppratutto perch’è stata la prima sera nella quale uno dei miei coinquilini chiaveva una ragazza che (lui – perch’io gia la conosceva) aveva incontrato solo due ore prima. Si dice che solamente bisogna sorridere e una ragazza britannica fa ogni cosa che vuole, ed è, anche…

Incosto
Anyone who’s interested in getting a copy of the Independent Coffee Stop, or INCOSTO as it was commonly called, the university of Luxembourg’s last year EASC (English and American Studies) student magazine, can now head over to Gilles Glod’s website, where he’s posted all of the three issues as PDF files. EDIT: Gilles apparently has…

Dat gréisste Kompliment
… wat een hei op der Insel ka gemaach kréien ass wahrscheinlech, dass ee gesot kritt wéi gudd engem säin Accent ass. :D

Perbacco sono felicissimo!
Stasera ho visto la ragazza la più cantevole mai e sto esagerando per niente. Anche se già un’ amica me l’aveva giurata, non ho mai veramente creduto che una tale sensazione sia possibile, ma davvero mi sente aver conosciutola tutta la mia vita. Sensazione strana che fa anche un po’ paura per essere onesto. Ma…

A lovelorn’s tale
Parched bloodshot eyes are burning Underneath the bass and saxophons In front of students skanking They don’t even know how nor to Complete this yawning void A whole world could fill it Not even within several millenia Sparkling eyes or charming smile I dragonfly fly around you damselfly It’s worse now that it is you…

Hey you’re the guy who speaks like seven languages?
Wow, lowdown’s spreading pretty fast at university. It’s the first thing I’m asked every single time when saying my name. And the second question’s always “Oh, like Thierry Henry?”. Hooray didn’t take very long to get a nickname. :)

Roundabout
Simply come and easily go Will never have been the case With all this which I can’t erase They say time heals everything, but where’s it been all this life? Stagnancy is my progress made while living in seclusion, Thinking of the unchaste girl who’s absconded from me to some art school; Maybe she’s drinking…

Genuine songs
There are a few songs out there that are so great it’s almost scaring. Let me recommend some of these songs to those of you who seek for more in music than chewed for lyrics and stereotyped melodies. A first one is certainly the great Only Lonely by Hootie And The Blowfish: Hello again, your…

It’s there!

Endlech!
Et ass gepackt, dat nervegst Evenement vum Joër ass iwwerstaanen. Voller Stolz kann ech behaapten, dass ech dest Joër keen eenzegen Cent do geloos hun an och verhennert krut, méi ewéi zweemol dohinner geschleeft ze gin. Kee Spill an och kee Gedrénks oder fettegt Iessen hu mäi Moo dest Joër ugegraff, wat firun allem un…
