My life while the world spins madly on...

Thoughts arising while working as a scientist or just randomly spinning from my brain.

I don't give a damn, I'm happy as a clam, nobody knows me at all

Got a #general a #zeneral even - well...

Today we  had another pointless fire alarm at the glorious Biocenter. 4 fire trucks and an ambulance arrived, but nothing could be found. Everybody had to wait for one hour outside, with the alarm ringing for about 45 minutes. So now I am running an experiment at home, will two small cups of #espresso keep my mind running for another 2 or 3 hours to work, or will it just induce #insomnia later on. Will be good to know anyway, for the last 3 (!!!) months of the year.
Meanwhile I got a #general from #China to guard my #Buddha, my #Bonsai (both from the Baumarkt), and my #worm from #GB.

#Bundestagswahlen

Auf dem Weg zur #Bundestagswahl 2013. Ihr solltet alle gehen, für vier bessere Jahre für #Deutschland und vor allem den Rest von #Europa. Wer nicht wählt, der kann sich nachher nicht beschweren. #Nichtwählen ist nicht schick und radikal, sondern einfach nur dumm.

No #nukes!

Actually already tweeted this from the Guardian before, but it is so disturbing that I think it deserves a blog post. Apparently in the early Sixtes only a tiny switch prone to malfunction stopped a hydrogen bomb from going of at the US East Coast when two bombs were dislodged from a B52. Hell on Earth!

Ist es wirklich schon so weit?!?

Yesterday morning, after putting the bike into the office as usual, I was leaving the Biocenter at about 8:45 to go to some talks. Just that moment my boss arrived on his bike and actually asked if I was about to finish my shift now. Do I look that desperate?!? #mylife #science

Next time I happen to leave the Biocenter for whatever reason at that time I am going to take an empty bottle of beer. #makeastatement

Merci pour les cadeaux

Started to revive my #French on my way to work. It is a bit odd on the bike, but was so embarrassing this summer in #France - lost almost everything #gottadosomething

Ce matin, reports, reports, reports ...

 

Wide awake for the first time today

After taking a run in my new 'natural running' shoes - love 'em - I feel really awake for the first time today. Ready to finish the last of the reviewers demands and get finished with the paper.

Blue shoes

and orange socks

a must these days. :D

#Syria : What a disgrace for Germany - unvorstellbar was Frau #Merkel hier macht

Simply out of words:

Now Germany is actually on Russia's side concerning #Syria. Only because there are general elections in two weeks.

Mir fehlt die Sprache. Jetzt steht Deutschland auf einer Seite mit Russland und nur weil in zwei Wochen Wahlen sind.
