Das Leben der Anderen

All,

Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck has won the Oscar for the film The Other´s Life/the life of others. He had started his project with two ideas.

One of them: Lenin thought he would not finish his revolution if he continued hearing the Apassionata from Beethoven because it was too beautiful and made him caress people´s heads instead of chopping them.

Second idea: Somebody observing people has tears running down his cheeks because he is deeply impressed about what he hears from the supposed "enemy".

I am so happy for him, his dream came true! The fame-aspect is another thing I do not really know how to put, but anyway....

Congratulations!!!!

I wish to see you guys for "Karneval in Köln" next year

Dear all,

1 million people can´t be wrong, visiting Köln for Karneval.

My part of Köln looks like this in this very minute:


some people mightsee it like this, also this very minute ;-)


In the old fashion, people in the processions you can see here distributed/threw hard candies around, and other stuff. When I wished for as many of you coming to Köln next year, somebody threw a bar of chocolate with the spitting image of 500 Euros right in front of my feet, what does that tell us? Travelling pocket money! I will save that for you :-)

Make it one million and one, or two, or 10 visitors!

Huggies,
B

ps: Samuel, thank you for lending me your camera

La vita é bella

Ciao Bella,

well I don't like hairy guys, but Samuel is certainly the most handsome one and he is always silent what makes him even more interesting :)

Oskar Pablo Neruda, Gonzaga and Conchita are looking forward to getting to know him better.

And my wishes?

Never stop dreaming.

To be continued ;) ...

presentation of wishful thinkers at soonissimo

All,
I am (still) in the very comfortable position of knowing you all, with all of your virtues and what not. But how about the rest, would you like to know more about the people presenting their ideas?

Just let me know.

Big hug to all of you,
Bridget or Birgit, whatever comes easier to you :-)

Be careful of your wishes - they might come true ;-)

It is soooo good to share one's positive ideas and wishes, when you see such trouble all around you.

So, here are my wishes:

to live in Scotland for a while just enjyoing life, painting and so on
search for the story of some old stones there
train the emotional intelligence of kids
more liberty in my job
have a child of my own with my husband
buy a little black harp when I'm forty-five
create a series of sky impressions (fotographs or paintings)
learn telepathy (okay, that's a bit weird) ;-)

and of course,
more emotional and spiritual development on earth, no matter in which religion,

Have fun,
Anina

charlie brown and snoopy in the soonissimo mood?

Maybe, also Charly Brown was in the mood for changes or an adventure?

Well, then this dream came true, if adventure means talking dirty for once on-air. At least the cast for the US-show "scrubs" has put new -and not necessarily clean- words into their mouths, if oyu know the show, it´s even funnier: JD the Doctor(=newbie or Bambi) on intership aka Charlie Brown, Linus = attending Doctor Cox, Schröder and Lucy the couple Turk and Carla, etc.

Watch this, and please keep children and sensitive people out for approximately 10 minutes ;-)

Huggies,
B

My Wishes

Thank you Bridgeta for this great idea! Maybe sharing all our dreams will inspire others and gradually we will help make this world a better one!

My great dreams are:
-> traveling to Mexico!
-> visiting all the secret places in Vatican that are not open to the public
-> traveling to Egypt/Arabia/Oman etc. and find an Arabian horse...MY horse!
-> working as development aid at least once in my life, if not all the time and making an end to extreme poverty
-> having children with my beloved future husband and getting old together with him!!!

I'm happy to hear about your dreams & wishes!

my top drawer contains...

All, since the pets have started, I have to follow adressing my wishes...

Since I have accomplished starting with Tennis and being a passionate dilettant on the piano, here go my wishes:

going down the path of Santiago de Compostela.
learn water-surfing, sailing on a Catamaran and I would like to go to Tibet.
A second trip to India is already scheduled :-) and I will see Keith Jarrett in concert soon!
Once in my Life, I would like to play the complete Goldbergvariations by J.S. Bach.
I would like to meet in person Hélène Grimaud, the pianist who lives close to New York.
less politics and more common sense and heart in the world

Fellows, I am impatient to see your input.

A big hug,
Birgit

spooky gang

Yersterday, arriving home, Kitty Cat (see foto) was already giggling, there was something going on in my appartment....



My two buddies Harry (he is known for swallowing hot water and keeping me warm in winter time) and the permanently snoaring (!) sheep Snookles apparently had made their way into the kitchen to prepare themselves hot water at the water boiler, I guess they fell asleep again, aren´t they cute?




In the bathroom, Patuco the duck had left the top of the laundry machine and was singing the new song "finahally in the sink"




Samuel had decided to invade the living-room. sitting on the thickest books he could find, he was playing monkey serenades and Emilia the piano was really happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "oogaaah ga duh, lalalala, ogah dugahhh"





In the dormitory, Wombat and Enrique had a blast trying to come down from the closed, they were peprared to go into the patio.




All of them had heared about soonissimo and want to start the party!!!!! If I am very unfortunate, I will have to send them to Munich to the teddy-party-planner.... :-) Anyway, they already started stuff and so shall we! Enjoy life out there and have fun

Samuels comment

Hi guys,
this is my first blog EVER.

I am Bridget´s pet and my name stems from Chamuel, the protecting arch-angle.

I heared we can express ourselves when it comes to wishes? Here is mine! For my birthday on December 1st, I would like to go to Munich, there are Teddy-Bear reunions and activities all year long, here is the link: http://www.teddy-in-munich.com/index.html

And I urgently need my own blogging ID, Bridget, pleaaaaaase

Please help me convincing her :-))

Fluffy hug to all of you,
Samuel

All, this is the first post for soonissimo, which will only be viewed by Lorena for the moment.

suposedly we will have more traffic here with the time.

Founders: Lorena and me, having thought about creating a network for people to exchange about ideas, the crazier, the better!

I have just learned, that it´s her Mom´s birthday, so it is going to be fun to see what has happened here throughout the next months when Mrs. Palacios is one year cuter than now!!!!!! AND FELICIDADES, of course :-)

best to all of you out there, even though in advance

Birgit
