- Baking sunshine yellow macarons with salted caramel filling.
- In fact, The Great British Bake Off is taking its toll on me. Aside from macarons I've been baking pumpkin quiche, raspberry pudding swirls and spinach feta pieces. I wonder what's next. Probably a stomach ache.
- Closing all your tabs but one.
- The last strawberries of the year. Figs with walnuts, honey and some natural yoghurt. Oh my.
- A spontaneous drive to Eichstätt. I made Kaspressknödel with Lena to fight the loneliness.
- Our school anniversary, getting to know some of my colleagues, spending time in the crafts room, talking to some of my students, stealing chocolate fruits from the 7th-graders.
- Curling up in a corner of the bed like a cat. Thinking "nest", falling asleep.
- Finally finally finally starting to write my last thesis. Like, one week before it's due. Feel so much less guilty now. Are we there yet? And now? NOW?
- Tati im Stossverkehr - which is some kind of French movie but it would be such a great title for a porn movie with me as the female lead.
- Black cumin.
- Die Endzwanziger Krise
- The ladybug that keeps coming back to my kitchen window.
- Cooking pudding; watching the bubbles boil up softly.
- Warum Erwachsene nachts so lange aufbleiben müssen
- Every Friday I'm a) delighted and 5 minutes later b) bummed out because there are two new Mann/Frau episodes. Only two. WHY.
- Frank came up with a poem for me under the shower: "Little lazy lustful kitty / Drunken dazed depraved yet witty / Sinful silly sadly blue / 'Aces' all ahead of you".
- Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl .
- Frank is driving up north to see his girl YET AGAIN instead of seeing me. And I was almost OK when he told me. So... yay me?
- I MIGHT have started rewatching Gilmore Girls and I'm already thinking about the final two seasons of Six Feet Under - early 2000s! Woop woop!
- Using a splash of Joop's Go! perfume at the drugstore. Smelling like my ex-boyfriend. Loving it. Maybe I should just buy the scent for myself?!
- Going back to my old school for two days - my pupils actually missed me and want me back! Also: a really good lesson and some praise.
- Sleeping at my mum's with Elsa, Franzi and Martina.
- Munchee
- Doing all the things! I finished my last thesis at 4:30am, only a few hours before I had to bring it to the post office. What a relieve.
- Reward: Buying everything I want at the bakery.
- Watching Tom Hanks movies, eating cake, crafting, cutting, drawing for my fifth-graders.
- Going for a walk with Ann-Katrin.
- Selbstliebe .
- Essie "Take it outside"
- Buying early Christmas presents
- Roasted pumpkin.
- Vacation time! Getting thai massages with Frank, Indian food; spending Halloween wicked drunk on the sofa (Raki and white whine while watching The Shining but being too tipsy to find it in any way scary); baking pistachio macarons and carrot cake; catsitting
- Meeting Klaus. Getting some cake at Hermann's, learning about secret brothels, new Asia shops and Macedonian architecture, talking about music and Elfriede Jelinek. Drinking red wine, having nothing to complain about regarding his furniture. Eating veggies and rice at the Turkish deli, stealing bread but giving away homemade macarons.
- Going out with Leo, Flo, Lena/Hilde, Anna (UGH) and Frank. Being petted by a stranger in Pimpernel, comparing cup sizes with some guy, getting into Beverly Kills while the others had to wait outside, feeding Frank pizza, Rendezvous - a weird gay bar, climbing traffic lights and a bunny costume.
- Taking photos of myself that I don't hate. Feeling pretty.
- The smell of Head and Shoulders Apple Fresh shampoo. Finding long, blonde, curly hair in my bed.
- The Leftovers - I completely don't get this show but it's captivating. Also: Liv Tyler in a TV series? WTF?
- Finding something that actually makes me feel better during Sunday Drama: lying down in bed with Frank and screaming ALL THE THINGS into his bathrobe. It turns crying into laughing. Good thing. (Related: today he almost started crying with me, damn, this really has to stop. For the last five weeks I really thought I was doing fine)
