after calling the AA this morning in order to jump-start the lady (will need to buy a new battery for next season I guess) I prepped her for the next three lonely months. well, maybe I'll visit her some stage in between, just to keep her company for a few mins in case she's feeling sad...and to check if she's being a good girl and not flirting with some car nearby (as one should do once in a while, how I learned).

Spent christmas with my mom, was sick most of the time (darn sinuses...). The ride back was special though, had 45 mins in Bremen. hmmm... around the main train station it looked (and felt) a bit like Barmbek... I had to think of "Neue Vahr Sued" (a book written by someone who grew up in Bremen and describes - in a funny way - the quirky ways of a young guy who grew up in an appartment block in Bremen, probably similar to one here).

Jobwise, well, I'll have a second interview with one company next Tuesday. BUT, M.'s offer, to work with him and D. in Dublin is more and more becoming something I thoroughly consider - would need an account with "Parsheep" though...;)  I'll make a final call on that one by the second week in January. and if all goes according to plan, I hope to spend some weeks in Peru, before it's back to the "grind" ;)

you all have a good rutsch and so :-D

after 4 great days in Dublin and a "few" drinks with each Mareke, Chelly, Mark, Dan and Ed I finally got my lurvely behind in gear and did my 2 first interviews last week. didn't go too bad actually. we'll see how it goes :)
Sunday (after a very german like and totally crazy "feuerzangenbowlen party" on Sat) I went to see F. for her B-day party. well, was supposed to be more a brunch really... I ended up walking home the 10 km or so from Wellingsbuettel at 1 a.m. (since I was a tad tipsy, the moon was out and I felt like walking). took me like 2 hours, but it was great. :) nostalgia... thought of when we always walked home from the discos when I was 18 ish (jaisus, that's 21 years ago now, jeje)... 5-10 km were no problem back then...
