The Neighboring Girl

Since last weekend, I have the most perfect view on the recent moments of intimacy at the other side of the street. While looking out of the windows in our office, I noticed a change of behavior of my (indirect) neighbors. I’m not going to write a psychological analysis, but just what I saw. The […]

Die letzte Woche…

…war ehrlich gesagt einfach nicht das, was ich mir versprochen habe. So dümpelt man zwischen der Realität eines dicken Bauches und der Manie des Abnehmeffektes von sagenhaften 3.8 Kilo in 2 Wochen – und das ohne etwas von Sport oder anderem gehört zu haben. Ich jedenfalls, so behaupte ich es mal, bin schon stolz darauf, […]
