shock
I restarted my browser
and now all my tabs are gone
what happened?
how can I access all the important stuff?
where is my life?
without my data I'm nothing
how should I know who I am without the world telling me?
how could I loose myself?
maybe I've got a backup?
nope, nothing's here
not a single trace remains
wait, there it is
in the browser's chronic
I can see glimpses of myself
tab by tab
I'm reopening my life
wondering if I ever would be the same person again

oblivious wandering
striding through the garden
maintaining the illusion

These little whales might look awfully delicious, but are actually swimming around. At least they look like they would want to swim around 😁 Somehow I managed to keep them still long enough for this photo shoot.
These whales were inspired by the little cakes known as “petits fours” and come with matching toppings like a candied cherry, chopped hazelnuts, a slice of lemon or a pistachio.

building a new P O S T for you
in the meantime please keep a save distance from the construction site
me sitting at the computer
me trying to concentrate
me in a room with people constantly talking
me at another's desk
me trying to explain something
me surrounded by ongoing discussions
me reading my e-mails
me trying to get things done
me in an environment of loud noises
me finally at home
me trying not to collapse
me exhausted from being at the office
hello, it’s me, your inner voice
I’m here to remind you, that you can’t do that
you’re not qualified enough
you’re lacking ambition
you haven’t what it takes to do that
nobody will give a shit
it won’t work
don’t bother even trying
it is futile, so why even start?
come on, we both know you can’t do that
what, if something went wrong?
you know what? it is pointless

In animes they sometimes show these tiny, red octopuses, called “tako” in Japanese. When I found patterns for beaded takos I knew that I wanted a red one, like in animes 😄
For its smaller counterpart I chose teal coloured beads. Together they look like they are trying out a new dance routine: to the left – to the right – rolling around!
Takos are the classical filling in takoyaki, Japanese for “grilled octopus” and a very prominent featured street food in animes. So of course I also needed to make my own version of takoyaki 😁

Disclaimer: No beaded takos where harmed while making this takoyaki.
