Time for celebration

Well, i have to say it: 25 years is a hell of a long time *ggg* a quarter century, just imagine! yes, and to come to the subject, it's ME who just lived to become that old! i mean, if i was a company, i would have organised a great party and been very proud of existing that long. but since i'm just a girl (yes, still!), i actually keep pondering, what i have made of these 25 years and if this could be a significant turning point in my life... but since i have a couple of really good friends, i decided to not brood anymore but have a beer instead... =^+^=








Thanks again to all my dear friends for being ones (and for coming of course) and most of all to my love Stefan, who organised all this and invited everyone! it was a great funny evening! thanks folks, i love you all ;))

Luv, Ingrid

hiking is my own delight

last week we had a day off - due to national holiday - and guess what i did? right, i got up early in the morning to go hiking. for only the early worm catches the fish and in our case, is on the sunny side of the mountain.
first we were all optimistic and motivated for a hiking tour:
then we saw that the road was not so easy to travel:

and since i am ABSOLUTELY not used to hiking, this was not actually a walkabout but on top of the mountain we were rewarded with this great panorama:

in the end we were all lucky to have made this tour - especially ME of course... O;D

nine million bicycles

There are nine million bicycles in Beijing
That's a fact,
It's a thing we can't deny
Like the fact that I will love you till I die.

There are six billion people in the world
More or less
and it makes me feel quite small
But you're the one I love the most of all

In praise of the computer

haaah, finally i got my good old (!) friend back! he isn't beautiful, he isn't cool, he isn't quick nor very competent, but he is mine *luv forever*

together we will stand now the test of time *sighing* ;P

Out at the Indie Club

Just when you think you are alone

New semestre, new luck

so these days semestre starts for us here at innsbruck university and along comes the season of fall. let's see if i'm one of the lucky ones who will be able to do all the planned courses - and as far as psychologie courses are concerned, completing one's degree seems like gambling...

Berlin, Berlin

once upon a time there were some students of european ethnology (cultural anthropology) travelling to berlin city... (warning: this time there'll be loads of photos!)


they had a pretty good time exploring Berlin City:


(at the IMAX-cinema)




made new friends...


(robot at the telecommunication-museum)


saw so many different things:




(variety of donuts at Dunkin' Donuts - yummie!)


(right in front of the Reichstag)


(graffiti)


(somewhere in Kreuzberg)


(the sky above a "Plattenbau"/building made with precast concrete slabs)




but after staying 10 days in this buzzing city, they felt like having a good coffee and a rest




...and so they travelled back to Austria where they are living now happy ever after =^+^=

Fancy a french kiss?

note: this is NOT my nephew, for HE only kisses cars... ;)

Haha...!

Genius at work

Girls just wanna...

...have fun, i'd say! well at least, i do! and don't let yourself be blinded sometimes by me looking like a "good girl"!

Snow in August

Hiyah, did i already note that my blog has already grown 1 year old? can't believe it, time flies by as you know... three hoorays and now back to topic:
yesterday we had 6 °C in Innsbruck (just imagine!), so we're now able to admire snow-covered mountains. - And never fail to think, there can't be snow in August...

A lovely day for a jungle tour

Life in Innsbruck grew so boring, so i decided to take a tour to the jungle!
there we found a monkey whom to feed:


sometimes you need a secret place to hide, to watch the world from above or from a different angle...


but just be carefull not to lose yourself in daydreaming cuz the jungle might become dangerous!

What's that?

well, today i had a date with my plumber (oooh yeah!) who had a close look at my bath's hot water tank. first he had to remove a wooden cover which was built around it by a former hirer. and which we saw then was beyond anyone's imaginations:


this is an antique hot water tank, about 30 or 40 years old which now has to me removed cuz there aren't any spare parts available anymore. so, this means i'll see my plumber till the end of the week - if that doesn't sound like the beginning of a passionate romance... ;P
btw: this water tank must have been so rare that even my plumber took a photo for himself of it!

Misty Mountains

hey folks, just wanna show you what weather we have here in the alpine region: bad bad weather with rain showers all day long *yawning*


and d'you know what's best about it? my bath's hot water tank broke down last weekend and the plumber can only come as soon as next wednesday due to a public holiday... so this means for me following dr. kneipp (for those who never heard of him: his "kneipp-treatments include bathing in cold water) and hoping i won't catch a flu... fu**sh***!!!

good to be a non-smoker

hiyah,
i found a suiting painting for a smoker's livingroom ceiling:
