Und um meine Entscheidung quasi zu bestätigen, direkt der erste Post auf Deutsch. Ich freue mich wahnsinnig auf "Alice im Wunderland", der bald anlaufen wird und zwar als 3D-Film! Schon die Vorschau war der Hammer, wie die Grinsekatze so aus der Leinwand auf einen zufliegt... Daher wollte ich natürlich auch wissen, welcher Figur ich ähnlich bin und habe einen entsprechenden "Test" durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis und den Link findet ihr unten. Was ich davon halten soll, weiß ich noch nicht genau... Allwissend zu sein (oder wenigstens zu wirken ;-) wäre zumindest für die kommende Prüfung eine ziemlich gute Sache!

Sorry, guys...
... for being quiet for such a long time. The last weeks have been crazy and I just didn't have the energy to write something, especially not in English. That involves a lot more cognitive resources than I could spare ;-). But nevertheless I missed writing. So I decided to continue blogging, but in German.
Right now, I feel more like writing in German, it's easier and I think it also makes sense since 70% percent of the stuff I read and watch are in German (not counting the literature for my studies - that is 99% percent English ;-)).
Maybe I'll turn to English again later on. We'll see.

Is this the end of the world?
Could be. It has been snowing all day long, but mainly horizontal, because we have a really stormy wind around here. I was so scared using the elevator in the house I live in, the wind is so strong that there are frightening noises in the elevator shaft... But seven stories of stairs are a lot. And the wooden wall in my room shakes a bit when I have my window open. So I hide myself in the university where the wind blows through the windows even if they're closed. I don't want to see their bill for heating costs... Plus, it is sooo cold.
This evening I have the opportunity to see Sherlock Holmes again with a few good friend of mine. I haven't decided yet whether to go or not. I really liked the movie but going out in this weather situation? I don't know. No matter what, I have to get something done for work now...
P.S. (Maybe a picky one) Of course, the post title is meant in a non-serious way. I write this P.S., because Haiti and the things happened and happening there just came to my mind... The people there are totally entitled to ask that question.

Milk
I hardly can keep my eyes open, but I have to share some thougths about the movie I just saw: Milk. Sean Penn plays the main character Harvey Milk, who was a gay politician in San Francisco in the 1970s. He fought for the rights of the homosexual community, first in his quarter Castro and then in the whole USA.
On my way home thoughts rushed through my mind, but now I can't quite capture them... The movie deeply impressed me. I admire Milks brave to never give up although there were a whole lot of barriers, he even got threats to murder him if he won't stop. I was touched by several scenes in this movie, which I don't describe here in case anyone hasn't seen the movie yet. For the same reason I won't tell the ending, although I wish I could.
Of course I know, that there are a lot of people on this planet who don't exactly share my opinion of a just world and human rights or whose opinions even might be contrary to mine. Nevertheless I was shocked by statements made by Milks political contrahents, saying that they want to take away all civil rights from homosexual people and that there is no place on earth for them. These might not have been the exact words they used, but the movie is based on a true story, so the general message should be the same. I absolutely don't have any words for that.
Reading through the post again I am not sure if it really expresses my thoughts but right now there is no better way to fomulate it. This is not because of the foreign language, my impressions and feelings about this movie are just a bit chaotic. Maybe there will be a more structured post in a few days...
