Blogging along

After a slightly sagarific time, the internet has returned. We now have our own connection. It is wireless and fast so we are happy.
2007 is toddling along nicely. Plenty to do but a nice amount of time to do it in. We had a very interesting Blockseminar last weekend - it did mean having classes all day Saturday and all day Sunday, which is just wrong, but other than that fact it was rather enjoyable. The topic was the extreme right - skinheads, neo-nazis and all that jazz. It has got me thinking and perhaps given me some new inspiration in terms of my Master thesis. We shall see. Me and Ragil also did a presentation in the class and included some youtube videos - first time I have ever used youtube in a presentation but probably not the last. I have become somewhat addicted to youtube. There are some fairly fabulous videos on there.
Turning to some other new media. Me and Ragil went on a jolly to Frankfurt yesterday - we were supposed to be going to the Indonesian Consulate but turns out it was closed, so we ended up wandering around, taking lots of photographs and trying to be artsy. We're in training for our trip to Indonesia - we need to be profis in the photo-taking department so we can capture it in all it's glory. Here are a few of our photos from yesterday...

Yes. Yes. Yes....
It's all very well going to Frankfurt, finding the relevant Embassy closed, and deciding to be all artsy instead -- but what about the shopping?
Surely you could have fitted a little of that in as well as taking photos? Even if it meant mislaying Ragil for half an hour or so.....!
Glad that 2007 is trotting along okay and that you sound happy.
On a personal note Lu, Big Bad Dave and myself had a pint for you in the bikers bar last night. Karl Marx is still patron saint and his portrait is still in pride of place on the wall. Music is still as loud and beer still as good!

Love and hugs (also to Bec, if you are out there...)
