no time to write stuff.

I put some text in the notes.

back in the city, still waiting for the snow to arrive in this part of the country. things haven't changed much since last week. many subjects remain to be done. I don't have the time (or rather don't take the time) to go out and shoot new photos. nevertheless, I accomplished to take my first picture in 2012 and it's the annual edition my bag and its contents. 2011 looked like this.
the description to all items can be found in the notes.

apart from that I'm anticipating the weekend and next week(s) with La Ligue returning from the winter break and the Australian Open taking place. busy with studying stuff I hope I'll be able to catch some good matches. probably I'll just reduce the time of watching Woody Allen films, which has been my leisure time pleasure for a few days now.

by the way: I compiled a mixtape with some new songs, old songs, very old songs and songs that are somewhere in between. you can find it here by clicking the title.

song: Sunday

I started this series (the photos with the black framing) with a picture that reminded me of the album cover of Bloc Party's A weekend in the city. it seems I manoeuvred myself away from that after the second photo already bared little resemblance anymore.
with this one I still stick to the concept a last time, although I don't see it fit in the series too well and think that it would be better off with another title, completely detached. but, okay. you can interpret it as me slowly losing interest in urbanisation and Bloc Party again, which I do.
it's just that there are so many other things, which are more important to me these days. for example, I'm sick of the way the web 2.0 functions with no more discourse and discussions going on. people just seem to speak up, if they like something, or rather: they don't speak up at all, they just press buttons without much thinking and repeat the same phrases again and again and again. right now, the web 2.0 is a big dump full of show offs with no reflection of content going on; it's blind copying. anyway, I'll probably write some longer texts about these things.
besides that, I invested some time for books last week. with over a dozen new exemplars for Christmas I probably have to do so. as well, I couldn't manage to read Swann's way in 2011 (due to time running away), but I'll definitely try again in 2012.
also, I still have to do "some stuff" (a shitload full of work) for university. besides that, my thoughts waltz around some ideas and concepts of psychology and philosophy. I attempt not to stumble as I don't know the steps very well, but I try.

however, today's the first day of the new year and although I couldn't care less, it's a convenient possibility to mention my list of favourite albums of 2011, I guess. you can find it here.

eventually, speaking of photography again, I edited some old Berlin and Marseille photos and probably upload them within the next weeks. maybe I'll take a "what's in your bag" shot again and start a tradition, and perhaps perhaps perhaps I'll digress from the idea of only posting new stuff once per week.
