New Year's resolution

Body Shop Newsletter

Actually I find it quite bewildering as a company to send out New Year's resolutions. But as usual, The Body Shop company finds their unique "wholistic approach" and their suggestions are really cool - I'm definitely planning on sleeping more in 2007!

Neues Jahr - neues Blog!

Finally! The new Version of Blogger is online. You can't imagine how glad I was when on the last day of the "old" year a sign popped up that there's no more beta tryout but that I can change to the new version of Blogger! Yeehaa! I'm currently working on "my new one" - you'll see the new layout and new features during the next days online.

But first of all and more important: Have a nice 2007! Have it better than 2006 and 3 times more successfull!

Hope you survived the firecrackers well yesterday! Hamburg St. Pauli was like a civil war scene already for three days. If civil war is about sniper scenes, noises of occasional bombs all day and night, people queuing for food and people being afraid of being shot and wounded - that's exactly it, welcome home. Wanna refresh some old trauma?

What it's luckily not about is the lethal impact. Even though you likely might catch a firecracker in your anorak thrown from a window above, most of them are neither ment to kill or hurt you but only brainlessly thrown away. Sometimes people mean to scare you. Mostly not. Additional there's some smell of streetfighting over the scene - there were streets where it kept quiet till the very evening, but those were few. In the end it's same procedure as every year, James - it was enough to keep fire department and ambulances busy the whole night. And now I have to check whether they caught my bicycle's wheels or whether I can still drive...
