Mole listening pearls is my favourite music label and I am longing for nearly every new record. Nujazz, downbeat and electronic upcoming music streams best when they are complied by Minus 8. This CD came today. Science Fiction Jazz. This time volume twelve which is so pleasant soulful with a bit of soul and funk and I love it. I am loving it :) This compilation feels the air tonight and I hope my neighbours don't mind me listing to the record out on my balcony. This music is some kind danceable... cool. Tonight it is not so warm anymore but the fresh and humid breeze outside makes me feel so good thinking about Ibiza and hot summer nights. I am realy looking forward to my next holidays. I will listen to good music, read some good books and be in Bali :)
I am still with Japanese fiction... Kawabata made me dream and sometimes cry, Tanizaki, Ogawa , Kirino, Mishima, Togawa and Soseki and now Inoue. and Kawakami .... Looking back in time I wish I could talk about the books with Ru again. It was such a good time exchanging our views and feeling being touched deep inside by the words of the writers and poets. Sometimes I think it made my fly... fly... even higher and I miss it
and there it is again the sound of Tokyo Counterpoint
Today at my fovourite Packstation...
(Packstation: kind of automated booths for self-service collection of parcels and oversize letters)
As Deutsche Post says the major market for the increasing number of Packstations are time-poor professionals ohhh they are so right and that's the reason I have been their customer for five years now...

Last week I spent a nice evening at a new restaurant in Duisburg... actually a franchise idea I already knew from my days back in Frankfurt. It’s fresh and casual, almost hip at reasonable prices. Everything is made fresh in front of you gourmet style and the best thing is – it is so European. You get a card entering the restaurant, everything you order will be booked on it, you pay at the exit. To my friend it was new but she really liked it, especially the desserts :) we were sitting under a kind of a palm tree inside enjoying the food and the view at the inner harbour and talking for hours.
Being in Duisburg reminds me of my student days. Guess this - it has been already SEVEN years since my graduation…. Life is so different now. But somehow still the same. I think I will be back at Vapiano with some other friends soon.
