One crying little kitty

Yesterday was the annual grilling at work, but since our pussy cat got herself ophthalmitis we were not sure if we should go to the vet again. After consulting the vet we treated the infection with mallow tea and hope for the best.

In the evening I played some Path of Exile and then we went onto the couch for tv show watching.

Mittagessen

Heute fiel die Wahl wieder schwerer.

Infusion for the cat

Yesterday afternoon we went to the vet with our pussy-cat since her kidney exam was not as good as excepted. So in the near future she'll be getting infusions, the first of which we had done yesterday. She was very active during the evening after that, but also had sometime troubles walking or running as the infusion depots on her body caught her off balance sometimes. We also tried out the new food variant, which she really liked and we hope that it stays that way.


In the evening I played some Path of Exile and after that we just went onto the couch.

Hot, hot and so damn hot

Yesterday after work I went to my parents and got a tasty apple pancake for dinner.


Afterwards I went home to sweat a bit in our warm flat. The cats also were not very keen on the hot weather and wanted to play once it's gotten cooler later that evening.

The conclusion of the day - after playing with the cats - was tv shows on the couch.

Heute - an einem Dienstag? - gibt es Schnitzel!

A book as a present

Yesterday after work I went shopping. Since my mother-in-law's birthday is approaching and Mr. Niavarani wrote a funny new bok, I decided to just get that one for her.

(don't worry, she's not reading my blog)

After that I went home and into bed to relax some time in accordance with our cats who also didn't like the hot weather.

Later I played some Path of Exile following by some tv shows watching on the couch.

Staying at home

My dear was swimming at Alte Donau yesterday, while I stayed home and took care of the cats and the flat.



I also did my weekly EDX courses and after that was done I played some Path of Exile.

In the evening, when my dear came back home, we just went onto the couch as usual.

Birthday feast

This saturday we celebrated my mother-in-laws birthday at Klaghofer.


In the afternoon we were just stuffed and exhausted, but the chores had to be done as well - after which we just fell into bed and we had to relax.

In the evening it was time for couch surfing again - including the latest episode of Doctor Who.

Busy friday

This friday after work I went to buy some beverages and brought them to Alten Donau, because my dear wants to go swimming with friends of hers this weekend.

After about 2 hours of driving through Vienna, I finally arrived back home and went out again to go to Mariahilf. There I shopped at myMuesli and Planet Harry and did some restock shopping.

There was no fish this week, as it was quite hot and that wouldn't have been good for the food when transporting it home.

In the evening I played a bit of Path of Exile before we went onto the couch for tv shows.

The new scouting platform is already in use.

Something new for the cats

Yesterday after work I went to IKEA and bought something to have a new attraction for the cats in our flat.

Back home I installed said atrraction and now there's a now sleeping/lookout plattform in the hallway, where our cats can rest safely. Picture will follow soon I guess, once they start using it. If they don't use though we still can use it ourselves as storage space for games - so dear cats it's your decision...

In the evening I played Path of Exile since my dear was out with a friend of hers.

An evening at the vet

Yesterday after work I went to the vet with our princess - the second examination to see if her kidney problems have been getting better. Madame was very pissed, so much that the vet had to put a special cat muzzle on her. In the end everything was fine, but the results of the examination will be available on friday. Then we'll know if the medicine she's taking is enough or if she too has to go on a special diet.

Later that evening we went onto the couch and watched tv shows..

Der Mittwoch enttäuscht nie - Schnitzel!

Hot, hotter, well it's almost hell

Yesterday after work I went to my parents for dinner and got some tasty Kaiserschmarrn with fruit salad.


Afterwards I went home and we tried to live through the heat as good as possible. The cats were not very active until late that evening and then they wanted to play. After that we just went onto the couch for some BBC programms.

Film Review: Wonder Woman

Yesterday we went to the movies again and we watched Wonder Woman with our usual gang of moviegoers.


The movie tells the beginning story of Diana Prince - better known as Wonder Woman - after we had a small glimpse of her in Batman vs. Superman. She was raised on a hidden island by the Amazons, and from a very young age wanted to become a warrior like the other women on the island. Her mother doesn't like that idea very much - note: what else was she supposed to do? there were no gardeners or scientists on the island as far as I noticed - but in the end Diana gets her training and becomes the best of the best. Just at that moment Steve Trevor - a man as she quickly recognized - crashlands his plane in the sea near the island and get's rescued by Diana. But Steve was pursued by the evil Germans and once the land on the hidden island there's a huge battle on the beach. It is at that point that Diana decides she need to go out into the world and kill Ares to stop the war that is poisoning humanity.

Yes, that was Ares in there and together with the other greek gods - after all Zeus brought Diana to life - they might or might not be real. Diana wants to do good and save humanity, her mother is not so keen on that idea but has to let her go anyway - Diana's at a tough age to argue with. Once she arrives at the industrial London she gets immersed into a whole new world, where her openness and views are not easy to hide for Steve.

What follows then are fights during the First World War until there's a showdown with the evil German general she thinks is the hiding Ares...

The movie is extremely well made - one of the best made DC movie to date - and the story is quite acceptable. Historically the movie is not quite accurate - this time around the Germans are evil because they are influences by the god of war - but the action scenes make more than up for that. Gal Gadot is the perfect choice for Wonder Woman - like Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark - and starts to bring the whole DC universe to life. Let's just hope that she gets enough screen time in Justice League so that the DC movies will be up to Marvel movies standard.

Conclusion: an absolute must-see movie for comic book and action movie fans - we watched in in 2D, which was ok - I guess there are not many 3D effects to warrent watching it in 3D

Mittagessen

Die Woche fängt ganz gut an.

Und so geht es dann weiter.


An interesting book...

This sunday we relaxed a bit and tried to do some of the chores in our flat.

In the afternoon we went to Miskatonic University Museum and there - in Arkham Horror: The Card Game - we found a strange book called Necronomicon gefunden and decided to take it with us. I doubt that this could have been a mistake in any way...

In the evening, after entertaining the cats, we went onto the couch and watched our usual tv shows.

Zombies and a certain Doctor

This saturday it would have been Free RPG Day, but Planet Harry didn't get the packages in time, so we'll have one in two weeks time instead.

That's why we didn't have much stress preparing for the afternoon boardgame session with friends. We played Zombicide: Black Plague and once won spectacular and one time we just lost horribly.


After our guests have gone, we just went onto the couch and watched the latest episode of Doctor Who.

Happy Birthday Planet Harry!

This friday there was a huge birthday party at Planet Harry and there were a lot of cool and cheap games to buy. Well at least for the first 3-4 people to enter the shop that day, because the good stuff was either bought by them or reserved for friends of them who were further back in line. So I only got one board game and one roleplaying book and then went straight home againe.

Since I took the day off, I could spend a relaxing afternoon in the heat of the flat.

In the evening we just watched the usual show from the the couch.

Hot and tired

This thursday - a bank holiday - we tried to relax a bit, but the weather was so good and hot, that it wasn't quite possible. So we did some chores and tried not to sweat too much.

Our tom cat doesn't seem to mind the heat too much, but on the other hand he spends a lot of time in the coolest room of the flat - our bedroom.

Dead tired

On wednesday after work I was dead tired and so we rather soon went onto the couch and watched tv shows.

Mittagessen

Und wieder ist Schnitzeltag.

Just some baking

Yesterday I was at my parents for dinner and got some tasty pancakes.


I also got some more cherries from the garden and so I baked something again back home - a blondie (cake with white and dark chocolate).



After that it was time for the couch and some tv shows.

Die Woche beginnt - nachdem ich gestern Homeoffice hatte - mit einer interessanten Auswahl zu Mittag.

Und so geht's dann weiter, also morgen. :)


Filmreview: Baywatch

Yesterday we went to the movies and watched Baywatch.


Based on the tv series from the ninties, the story is about the lifeguards with the same names as in the tv series and their new adventures. As one could expect the movie has a lot of humour, but without any depth to it and boardering very bad taste.

If one should look at the actor's achievements in the movie I can't tell, because my brain went on emergency shutdown a few minutes into the movie and only a few of my brain cells had to die a heroic death.

Fun aside - which I didn't have - the movie doesn't take itself very serious and I get it why people might find it funny. It's totally not my kind of humour though and so I can not recommend the movie at all.

Conclusion: tasteless jokes with a lot of naked skin and other (dead, male) parts

Some hot Father's Day

This Father's Day it was quite hot and the cats just collapsed.


We then went to my parents-in-law to celebrate and we brought sushi for lunch.



When we came back home the cats still were not very active.


Only in the evening the action started and we played with the both of them for quite a while.

Once that was done, we were allowed to go onto the couch and watch our usual tv shows.

Not quite so hot anymore

Yesterday I went on the weekly shopping trip to Mariahilf and of course I bought stuff at Planet Harry. Since the weather was not quite as hot I also bought some sushi at Temaya for lunch.

In the afternoon the cats were very active and so we spent a lot of time playing with them.


Since my dear had some university stuff to learn I turned my attention to my own studies with some EDX courses and in the evening we watched a movie on the couch: Moana from Disney. Finally not a bad movie to watch!

No shopping trip

This friday after work - and after a short "visit" at Tichy - I didn't want to go out into the hot city and public transports and so I postponed the weekly Mariahilf shopping trip to today.


Instead I relaxed at home and in the evening - when the heat was going away - we watched tv shows from the couch again.
