You keep what you kill

Geh nach Haus und zünd' dich an! Mehr fällt mir nicht mehr ein. Erst mal schafft der KackHSV es schon wieder, nicht abzusteigen. Und die DFL wird schon dafür sorgen, dass WOB die Relegation gewinnt, hat ja bisher noch immer geklappt. Und dann die eigene Versagertruppe ... unfassbar. Hätte Baumann mal besser den Vertrag mit Nouri nicht verlängert. Zeigt sich wieder einmal, wie charakterlos die Mannschaft ist. Keine Spannung mehr an den letzten drei Spieltagen, 13 Gegentore in drei Spielen, drei Niederlagen, das ist peinlich. Also nächstes Jahr mal wieder Abstiegskandidat Nummer 1. Ich könnte kotzen. Aaargh.

Singapore Airlines, the bestest airline in the world, has launched a couple of new routes using their new A-350 and there were some niiiiiice ticket prices around for the inauguration. :-) So we hit the "book now" button and scored a nice short holiday, which we spent mostly in Bali and also a couple of days in Singapore. We'd been to Bali before in 2015, but only for a few days. Back then, we stayed on the west coast near Seminyak. This time, we opted for the more quiet area of the east coast, north of Sanur. By chance I stumbled upon a small hotel/resort called "The Samata" which had a one-day discount deal. This was one of the rare instances where I actually was on the right website at the right time. So again, click "book now" and smile. But first things first. Getting to Dusseldorf was the part I was most worried about, since Air Berlin is completely fucked up. I spent some extra money to move to the earliest flight and we got there in time. F

Im Mai ... kommt der Winterweizen. Was auch sonst? Seriously, we were dead tired, having just stepped off a 14 hour flight from Singapore in the morning but this didn't stop us from finding our way to the Bi Nuu club in Kreuzberg to see the lovely John K. Samson & Co. It was well worth it, since we did not only get songs from Christine Fellows and John K. Samson, but also a lot of classics from the Weakerthans. So like a secret bonus level in this video game they call "real life". :-) What can I say? I've been a big fan of The Weakerthans since 1997. I still remember the day Marcus sent me the "Fallow" CD ... mindblowing ... an instant love affair. And then "Left and Leaving" which accompanied me through an difficult interesting time in my life ... . Even after hearing all those songs a gazillion times and then some and after seeing them live each night for three while on tour in 1999, I still wasn't tired of listening to their music. Jo
