Mittagessen

Heute war die Wahl wirklich etwas schwieriger.

Film review: Kingsman

After some time and some illness we went to the cinema again yesterday to watch the most recent spy movie: Kingsman


The Kingsmen are an internation operating organisation, that doesn't answer to any government. They are gentleman agent, who try to keep world peace but do so in secret, so that the world doesn't know it was in danger. Galahad (Colin Firth) is one of them and has the difficult task to find a replacement for a recently deceases colleague, who died on a job.

His choice is the son of a former Kingsman recruit, who saved his life many years ago but at the cost of his own. So Galahad feels compelled to help his son to become a Kingsman as well. But that's not all, since there's also evil in the world in the form of billionare Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson), who tried his own approach at "healing" the planet.

The movie is well made and quite quickly cut. But unlike other movies of the action genre the audience can actually follow the action in those shots and is well entertained. But the film isn't for the weak of heart, since there's a lot of blood flowing and detached body parts fyling around, so much in fact that the main evil guy is going to be sick at watching them.

The humour of the film is refreshingly british and perfectly executed. Every agent cliché you can think of is in this film and it's fitting. For me this is a must-see movie.

Mittagessen

Wochenbeginn in der Kantine - die Qual der Wahl.

Und so geht es dann die Woche weiter:


Pillars of Eternity

On sunday we slept long - despite the fact that the time was changed to summer time. The rest of the day we then spent on play the latest computer game that interests us: Pillars of Eternity, a role-playing game which has a lot of similarities to Baldur's Gate, but has a lot of story. In the next few days I will perhaps post some screenshots.

In the evening we watched one episode of a new adventure series with Dara O'Briain and Ed Byrne on BBC: Dara and Ed's Great Big Adventure.

New car?

Yesterday we went to look for a replacement car since our current one has reached his end of life. If everything goes according to plan we have the new one by the end of next week and it'll be again a VW Golf.

On our way home we had lunch at Klaghofer, kind of like a pre-meal to our traditional easter feast with the family.



Back home I was quite exhausted and rested a bit while my dear went on to her boardgames afternoon with friends. Later I then contiued my current EDX course (artificial intelligence), but I wasn't able to finish it yet.

Shopping spree

Yesterday it was friday again and this meant it was time to shop in Mariahilf. But not that fast, because before we went we rested some time at home and went in the later afternoon. But then we did do quite a trip. First we went to Billa Corso, since the sweets were cheaper that weekend. Afterwards we went on to Audiamo, where some audiobooks were waiting for me. Then we were off to Planet Harry, who sadly enough had yet another batch of stuff I needed to buy.

After that we went to Spar Gourmet, where we packed up on pudding variations. Then it was time for the evening food and that meant going to Natsu for the weekly fish portion. Well packed we then went home again and were greeted by our hungry cats who demanded their share of fish at once. After satisfiying them we also were allowed to eat our share, but in the end everyone was happy.

We spent the evning with more food, but only virtual one, since we watched the three weekly episodes of BBC's Masterchef.

Irish evening

Yesterday my dear went to a garage to see how much repairing our car would cost. Unfortunately it will be too much, so we'll be looking for a new one rather soon.

After work I went to my parents' to give them back their cars I borrowed for the day. On my way home I stopped at Planet Harry, since I haven't been there for two weeks.

Back home we had a great dinner and after that spent some time in The Secret World before it was couch time again. This time we watched the recent episode of The Mysteries of Laura and a new BBC series about the historical Ireland (Great Irish Journeys with Martha Kearney).

Leider kein Burger, daher wieder etwas schwieriger etwas zu finden.

Schindelbratern (im ganzen gebratenes Schweinsfilet) mit Zwiebelringen und Petersilienerdäpfel


Back in the routine

Yesterday I was at my parents' for dinner and I had great pancakes.


After that I went home and then to the doctor to write me off to be fit for work again. Later we then played The Secret World with a friend of ours and later still we went onto the couch to watch the recent episodes of The Flash and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

At the vet - part 2

Yesterday after work we went to our vet with our pussy cat. Contrary to our tom cat, she is more aggressive und cranky. Still everything went well and now we have a much lighter cats - as she was stripped of her winter fur - and she was much cares for.

The evening we first spent in The Secret World for the Golden Week and to get goodies from it.

Afterwards we went onto the couch and watched to most recent episode of Castle, followed by two cooking/baking shows on BBC. The Great British Bake Off Easter Masterclass and Back in Time for Dinner (60s edition).

Die Wahl war wieder schwer, aber sie wurde getroffen.

Back in business

Yesterday was the first day I went back to work and I was very exhausted at the end of the afternoon. Still we then went to the vet with our tom cat for his yearly injections and check-ups. At first he was very scared but when we were back it took him almost no tim to get back to normal.

Today it's pussy cat's turn...

In the evening we were just exhausted and went onto the couch to watch series before going to bed early.

Sick in time

I was at two doctors yesterday and now I know for certain that I'm sick. There's nothing more to do or at to that except that it will take time...


Montag, 16. März 2015

Sick^2

Still not better, so it's off to the specialist today - perhaps he can give me something to make this thing better.


Sonntag, 15. März 2015

Sickest

Still sick and my throat doesn't get better - at the moment I need pain meds just for swallowing.
