It's a really good Schmarrn

Yesterday after a rather normal day at work I went to my parents for dinner and got some tasty Kaiserschmarrn.


After that I went back home and there almost immediately onto the couch for the usual tv shows.

Good but stressfu day

Yesterday was another good day at work, although it started rather bad as we didn't have internet and so I wasn't able to accept card payments for a rather long time. After it was fixed again I was constantly working: new deliveries, invoices and customer services kept me busy almost till the closing hour.

Rather exhausted I went back home and there only fell onto the couch for some relaxing time.

Film Review: Ralph Breaks the Internet

Yesterday it was time again to go to the movies and we watched - two month later than the US release of the movie - the latest Wreck-It Ralph movie: Ralph Breaks the Internet.


The story continues where it last stopped. Ralph and Vanellope do their daily work of being video game characters in an arcade. But one day Vanellope's game gets damaged and the owner of the arcade doesn't want to spent too much money to repair an old game so he shuts the game down.

Ralph wants to help in the situation and him and Vanellope try out this new game: Internet! Once there there the experience a lot of adventures, including annoying pop-ups and dangerous viruses, until they finally get what they were looking for. But it this really the thing everyone wants for their life?

The movie is full of funny stuff and elements from video games and internet memes. To get all of them you need to rewatch the movie several times.

Conclusion: nice entertainment, although the funnies scene of the whole movie was already shown in the trailer.

Boardgaming again

This sunday we did our chores and then in the afternoon we had a friend over to play boardgames with. We started out as vikings and tried to make A Feast for Odin. Afterwards we went back to the 1920s and managed to meet the Deadline to solve deadly case.

In the evening we went onto the couch to watch NFL - a week before the Super Bowl - with an All Stars game.

A rather windy and cold photowalk

This saturday we went on a photowalk near the main train station of Vienna. Below you can find of the pictures I took, with more to look at in this album.

In the evening it was the usual routine of couch surfing with interruptions for cat entertainment.

Still icy cold, but better

Still icy cold

Yesterday was a quite bad day at work, which might be because of the rather chilly weather and that people rather stayed home then go shopping.

After work I went to my parents for some curd casserole with sauce for dinner.


Afterwards I went back home and listened to podcasts since my dear was out with a friends of hers.

Yesterday - on our day off - we went shopping at SCS and especially at IKEA. We bought some new chairs for our dining room and some shelves for Planet Harry which we delivered by car afterwards.

Back home we had to relax a bit and then we built die chairs. Later that evening we went onto the couch to watch some more tv shows.

Slow day at work

Yesterday was a rather slow day at work, although I got a lot of new deliveries.

In the evening we went onto the couch and did some cleanup on Netflix, so that we only have those things we want to watch in our list before they start disappearing.

In the evening I went to WOKWalk for dinner and then back home we went onto the couch to watch some tv shows.

Working as best as I can

Yesterday was a rather normal day at work except that most of the deliveries came in the afternoon together with the customers. That's why I'm glad my cloning experiments finally paid off.

Film Review: Aquaman

Yesterday we went to the movies again and we finally watched Aquaman.


Arthur's background is told at the beginning of the movie, but most parts revolve around him being the heir to Atlantis and his future. Oh yes, of course he also saves mankind and the planet while pursuing his destiny, but it's a super hero movie so that's always part of the deal, right?

The movie does have a story - which you should not look at too closely - and tons of computer effects and animation. Also the 3D effects are really nicely done, but not throughout the whole movie though.

Conclusion: Jason Momoa while a naked, wet upper torso - what else would you except from the this movie? Well, it isn't much story according to the movie makers obvisouly...

Relaxing is for later...

Yesterday we wanted to take the day off and relax, but since there was still so much to do from the Christmas holidays we continued doing that instead.

My dear also tried to get us a nice short and not too expansive vacation for februar/march, but it seems that this combination is impossible to find and we are no closer to a relaxing trip than before.

In the evening we watched the NFL play offs and then played some Super Mario Party on the Switch before we went to bed.

Relaxing with chores

Yesterday the weekend started but the weather was quite bad so I stayed home and did the chores while my dear went to visit a friend and tried to master the elements on her way to her.

In the evening we went onto the couch together again and continued to watch all the tv shows we missed over the past several weeks.

The first week of the year is over

This friday was a rather normal day at work, although the weather was quite bad there were a good number of customers.

In the evening I went home where my dear had prepared dinner for us.

Later we just went onto the couch and watched tv shows until we were tired enough to go to bed.

Freitag, 4. Januar 2019

Back to normal

Yesterday was quite an average day at work and we started to plan out the things we'll do in 2019.

Our japanese Lord also has left us and is on his way back to Japan, so we cleaned up his room and started doing the laundry in the evening.

Later we again went onto the couch to watch some tv shows and then went to bed. Finally some relaxing time on the coming weekend!

Donnerstag, 3. Januar 2019

Back to the usual routines

Yesterday was the first day - after the work related break in December - that I went to my parents after work for dinner. And this time I got again a very tasty Kaiserschmarrn.


At work I also was successful, as I was able to finish the annual stocktaking, after I did much of the work last year already!

In the evening we chatted a lot with our japanese Lord - as he is flying back to Japan today - and then we watched some tv shows together as well.

No good news from our next cruise - which should have been some relaxing counterpart to busy december - since direct flights from Vienna to the Canary Islands are rare and the alternatives are very expensive or let you make a full day stop between connection flights...

The first day of the year

Since we stayed up longer this New Year's Eve - "thanks" to the sound-makers - we slept longer before anyone got up in the morning.

First up was a late brunch, to which my in-laws had invited themselves.


After that we had some sweet snacks, to which I dear friend visited us.


After the in-laws left us, we started with the boardgames. First up was Escape Room In A Box: The Werewolf Experiment, which we won with a very small amount of time left. Then we went back to roman times with Carpe Diem, still on of my favorite games of 2018.

To conclude the day/evening we them went onto the couch to watch tv shows.

Happy New Year

Yesterday was the last day of the year and so I went out to buy some sweet pigs and distributed them.


After that I went to Planet Harry and started doing the annual stocktaking, which I hope I will have finished by the end of the week.

Back home we played some more boardgames until the new year arrived.

We started with Heroes of Terrinoth, which is a new release of Warhammer Quest: The Adventure Card Game, which has been discontinued due to loss of the Warhammer license.

This new version plays very good and in the end we played three scenarios. After that we played Anno Domini: VIP and Concept before the clock stroke midnight and things started to get out of hand.

In front of our windows people were throwing the really heavy stuff so that our windows vibrated constantly. Fortunately nothing bad happened, but our cats were very disturbed. We then went on to watch some tv shows and the cats stayed near us all the time.

Around 2:00 the whole thing was finally over and we went to bed.
