- I visited Dennis and Margit who have the BEST couple name ever - Dengit, as in dang it! They have a really cool house with ALL the gadgets. We played Bananagrams (I won! It's a really cool game, I guess I gotta get it as well) and Krazy Words and had a great BBQ lunch. Then we played Beat Saber in the basement. I was so good at Fuck Her Gently and even sang along. Also, the electro swing version of I Wanna Be Like You from the Jungle Book is fantastic. I love the song and it has a great choreography as well. But woah, my muscles were so sore the next day. Playing Beat Saber definitely counts as sport.
- The shrub outside my windows is in full bloom; it must be some kind of Deutzia. I'm looking forward to the white little blossoms every year, it's gorgeous. The lupins are in bloom as well. And I have beans and radishes, peas, sunflowers... very lush and overgrown out there.
- Baby pink wrapping paper with golden iridescent glitter.
- Rediscovering all my old tumblr pages.
- Mildly bleaching a strand of hair. Channelling my inner Claire Saffitz.
- Kirlian photography (something similar is used to take aura photographs). I involved Christian in this project as well who has a doctorate in astrophysics and is a photographer, too. Perhaps we can build a machine together!
- Seeing my mum for the first time since Christmas. I brought presents, we had a nice dinner, looked through some old photos. The next day I visited one of my favourite places in my old neighbour hood - a resale project / flea market ( I got sooo much stuff for just €12; for example really interesting books, a picture frame, a veggie slicer, a vase and a magnetic peg board). It's so interesting to see how everything changes around that area. I love riding mum's e-bike and literally going down memory lane. Walking through our garden is always nice, too, because everything keeps changing so fast which is especially noticable when you only see it every few months. We also played Kubb with Steffi, Martin and Jan. I let Jan play with my iPad, he was just as fascinated by the Procreate brushes as I am.
- In the evening I took the train to Freising and got pizza with Yanch and Sash. Then we played Soviet Kitchen and watched a Little Britain episode. I slept on the sofa and on Sunday we had a pretty delicious breakfast (with eggs, cottage cheese/avocado/tomato, smoked salmon) and virtually tried on glasses because Sash needs new ones.
- Later that day I visited Lena and Obi. We finished watching Babylon Berlin and had delicious lemon tart (very sour with an incredibly buttery pie crust). In the evening we made zucchini-ricotta bake and I used some thin zucchini slices to create a woven pattern for the top layer.
- Seeing a pheasant from the train window.
- Yaya - I'll just call her massage artist from now on.
- My first time at FUNtastic, a really good board game store. I had a chat with the shop assistant who recommended some games and I ended up buying three. Later I made potato mash, spinach, eggs and a corn cob for dinner at Frank's place and we tested the games. I made pretty good choices.
- Smule! Singing duets with Manu. Making a little choreo for I'll Never Tell from the Buffy musical. Drawing something for the video instead of showing my face. It's a good way to come to terms with my perfectionism. I know I have an okay voice but my technique really sucks so the result is not always what I would like it to be. I gotta learn to accept that and just publish it anyway. I'm trying to have fun, right?
- Dyeing my bathrobe black. It had a fantastic smell after the hot wash.
- A little llama dance choreography - girl, look at that body / I-I-I-I work out
- The tiniest snails.
- Zucchini blossoms.
- I finally own an agapanthus plant! Gorgeous.
- A picnic in the northern part of the English Garden with Frank, Obi, Lena and Vanessa. Playing Kubb, putting our feet into the Eisbach, taking a little walk. Playing the llama card game.
- Please Like Me might be one of my favourite TV series ever.
- Sending a birthday present to my mum. Making collages for her and wrapping everything really nicely (apparently the mailwoman often comments on my beautiful letters and packages).
- Board game night in Freising. Great dinner made by Sash (always delicious, of course). Pocky blind-tasting (again). Finding a beautiful photograph of Sash with a cat, a tomato and some wildflowers. Playing Nice Try, a super fun challenge game.
- Driving to a perennial nursery with Margit. Walking through the flower pads for hours. Befriending the gardener, petting the big, stupid and super lovely cats walking around. Buying far too many plants. Pizza dinner in Wasserburg.
- A super cheap, volumising styling cream from dm.
- Recording the cup song with Manu and Mika. Watching Tenacious D videos together. Eating the Kaspressknödel I had prepared.
- Eating ramen with Lena. Playing Burgle Bros. with Frank.
- A day trip to Passau with Adrian. Playing card games in the shade at Ortsspitze. Eating at Grüner Baum (unfortunately the restaurant has a new owner so they didn't have my favourite dishes on the menu anymore) and spaghetti ice-cream for dessert. The weird American waitress. Revisiting some old spots I had forgotten about. I especially loved walking around at the art building. Looking at the students' work, being reminded of old stories. Taking a selfie in the same spot as 7 or 8 years ago. Getting blisters and sunburnt wasn't nice but hey, it was a lovely, sunny day.
