Tonight Lenny Kravitz (no tickets available, all sold out) and tomorrow Sting (tickets still available) is playing at the Königsplatz. I used to live there and only needed to go on my balcony and have free concerts. That was fantastic. Unfortunately the apartment was a bit small for more than one person, so I moved. Now I am close to the Olympic Park and open air season there is nearly as good.

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta da
and what could that possibly be on a Sunday when ghost is out working? Beauty weekend - yeah!
So, major restauration process was en route: cleans, peel, mask, moisturize and look shiny and radiant by time ghost comes home for dinner, which of course perfect girlfriend - aka moi - has already pepared.
How would he know that looks of "perfect girlfriend" - slash housewife - is only derived from a couple of hours worth of scrubbing and polishing and nurturing "old" skin of old cow - again: aka moi - and dinner came out of a can but tastes every bit of freshly prepared "Minestrone". Am genius! Am perfect girlfriend, am cheater, but pssssst, don't tell :-)

Blogshares.com
Ever heard of it? I just stumbled across it in a comment in one of my favorite blogs. Apparently blogshares.com is (according to their own definition I grabbed from their website): a fantasy stock market for weblogs. Players get to invest a fictional $500, and blogs are valued by inbound links.
Never thought something like this existed. Funny.

Rainy Saturday afternoon
Rainy. Grey. Weekend shopping. Goodies for the ghost and me. Pineapple, strawberry, cherries, icetea ..... life can be delicious even when it's raining.
At the Walmart parking lot stupid BMW driver honked his horn like an idiot, and cut us off. Moron! Ghost is still thinking of bying BMW convertible. I am all against it. Don't want to be associated with jerks like the one today. I am still voting for the Mercedes convertible. Even though I still can't understand why we need a third car. We are only two drivers. Got my cute Twingo and ghost has his Focus which is only 2 years old. It's really decadent to buy a third car. We'll see. Last word hasn't been spoken on this. I'd rather save the money. Two cars should really suffice.
Cats just hang around, sleep, eat. Nothing happening. Neighbor brought me nice little flower bouquet, just because ... No reason. That's nice. Invited her for coffee and cake on Tuesday.

"Smart" mink
While watching TV I was zapping through the channels during the commercial break and stayed on MTV for some minutes. Something about the "rich and famous". They were showing Serena Williams (tennis player) who was showing off her clothes (a whole apartment full of it or so the size of her wardrobe) ....
So Serena is taking out a white mink telling us: " This is the first mink I bought. In live in Florida. I don't know when I am ever going to wear it. That's why I bought a white one. It looks smart."
Oh dear! Lady, maybe your white mink "looks smart", but you are definitely NOT. Bad enough you buy it, worse to say you don't even know when you should wear it. But the worst: claiming it looks smart. I suggest you had better invested some of that money, you used to buy a coat made of animals that were specifically raised to be killed for this purpose, to buy yourself a "smart" image consultant. That might have made YOU look smart instead of the poor dead animals fabricated into a coat you can't even wear. What a waste.
She can't be that stupid, she knew it was completely useless to have a mink in Florida. But when did it become fashionable to brag about fur coats again? When did it become stylish to confess you are proud to be responsible for the killing of small animals? And I am not saying this because I don't have that much money or can't afford a white mink coat. Truth is: I can't. But truth also is: if I did, I wouldn't. I am not saying I would donate all my money to charity and be a "better person". I would most likely buy a lot of useless stuff for myself and my family and friends. But also true is that I would definitely donate a lot to charity and organizations involved in saving animals, protecting nature, helping people and so forth. Also true is that even though I don't have much money, actually right now I am mostly broke due to not being able to work and having to live off my savings, I still find ways to donate money to causes I find worthy, or buy a friend a gift. But why on earth somebody with a sane mind would buy a mink coat just because you have the money and you can afford it and it's "trés chic" to own one, even though you can probably never wear it, beats me.
It's a completely different story if you lived in a "The Day after Tomorrow" scenario and you depended on warm clothing to survive, although modern fabrics have proven to be much more effective in that department than fur. There is nothing to be proud of. There is a lot to be ashamed of.
Note: Mink coats - not even white ones - are not smart. And they don't make you look smarter either.
Mental note to myself: next time stick to the commercials, it's healthier to watch somebody talk about a non-fat yoghurt or a detergent that cleans it all than to flip through the channels and risk a heart attack if somebody is talking about "smart" white mink coats.
