Counting acts and clutching thoughts...

Cemetary walk & the Sweeney.

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 12:30:37 GMT

I and C went for a walk through the central cemetary in Graz yesterday. I've never been there before, and I thought that it was quite beautiful, particularly because the late-afternoon light was so pretty.

After that we went to see Sweeney Todd. It didn't impress me as much as I thought I would. Maybe because I didn't like the songs that much, maybe because I think that the old Tim-Burton-look is getting boring. Johnny D's hair was good, though.

Miss M.'s Breakfast View.

I think I took a nice picture a few days ago. Since this doesn't happen very often, I'm posting it now.

This is the view from our kitchen window. Nothing special (in fact quite ugly), but the light is pretty.

Fotogenic plastic butterfly.

There is a plastic butterfly sitting on the tiny bamboo on our windowsill. It is awfully fotogenic.

Hills & DVD.

Christoph and I went to have a little supper in the hillier parts of our village today. Then we went to rent Lost in Translation on DVD, which we're going to watch now.

day 1:

The first day consisted of an 8 hour train ride from Graz to Prague.

day 2:

The second day was Wednesday and it consisted of lots and lots of sight-seeing and hill-climbing and beautiful things and also a lot of exhaustion in the evening. I think I took my best pictures on that day.

day 3:

On Friday we wanted to take a look at the Jewish Quarter, but it was closed for 2 days because of Jewish New Year. That was sad. I was really looking forward to it. So we just walked around. In the evening we saw beautiful Joanna Newsom in concert.

day 4:

On Saturday we did Wencelas Square, Bethlehem Chapel and Petrín (which you've probably never heard of) and ran around looking for a police man because Christoph thought that the Bankomat where I got some money had been manipulated by criminals. However, it wasn't. We also had dinner in a traditional old Czech restaurant where they had the most delicious beer.

On day 5 we got up at 4:30 and because our train left at 6:07. And now we're home.
