Actually this week won’t be so bad…

This afternoon, on my way home, Lindsey called me and invited me to the cinema. We saw „Marie and Max“, a lovely stop-motion movie about two lonely people (a young girl and a getting-old man) who maintain a very long letter-relationship between a small town in Australia and New York. The film is both, naïve and dark, funny and melancholic. Kind of the way I’ve been feeling these last days…

When I feel weird, like now, I call ex-girlfriends. After walking Lindsey home, I called Carol, but she was in a hurry (over the years, she’s has mastered the art of being late) and had to hang up after some seconds. Then I took a look to the phone list on my mobile and one of the first names I saw was Alauda. She is a wonderful Spanish girl I met in a bar in Innsbruck many years ago. I can say that she was to me what the synthesiser was for the dance floor in the 70’s. I didn’t hesitate to call her.

My uncontrollable desire for flirting made me ask her if she had a boyfriend, and her answer was the predictable and disappointing “yes”. After chatting for a while, she hung up and instantly I scored her name off my ex-girlfriend’s list. Yes, I have an ex-girlfriends-I-should-call-and-ask-for-a-revival-list.

It’s sad to see the small amount of names left in this virtual list – I say virtual because the list exists only on my head.

Seconds after scratching Alauda’s name, Kathrin phoned me and asked me something about a word she needed to translate (she is a translator) and that was it, the day was saved! I suddenly remembered that Kathrin and Luisa (that curly Tyrolean princess I made the piñata for) are coming this Saturday for lunch.

And tomorrow won’t be bad at all: We are rehearsing for the hip-hop gig. Yes, I sometimes do music and even perform. The concert will be on October 2nd, if you live in Innsbruck that night, the PMK will be the place to be!

Actually this week won’t be so bad…and by the way, I love spending the night writing for the blog, having a drink (in this case prosecco-aperol) and hearing to nice music, right now Blondie’s sound is rocking my speakers!!!

P.S. The pick is Matilda, a girl printed on the box of a delicious Danish chocolate-milk brand.
