I really like the smell of hot olive oil before I put the onions into the pan.

what I bought today:

• blue jeans (in fact: black ~); wrangler
• switch (the old hub was annoying); dlink
• mp3-player (a usb mass storage device); trekstor
• rechargeable batteries & a charger; varta
• enough food for the weekend ;-)

update 1: everything works up to now but I discovered that one of my machines has only a 10MBit NIC inside. grmpf.
update 2: replaced the NIC with a 100MBit 3com 3c905c (2006-01-28).

it's still f*cking cold. outside 12°C, and the flat doesn't get warm any more (temperature constantly below 20°C). why don't they turn on the heating? hot baths are nice but no solution for long days at home ...

explained the route to the cab driver last night. showed the way to other tourists today in the city center.

about a week ago I stepped on something hard, probably a tiny piece of broken glass. I didn't manage to tear the splinter out of my foot, so I decided to wait and see if my horny skin or the foreign substance is stronger.

I think my foot won; I can hardly feel or see the sliver anymore.

just 'programmed' a new alarm time on my communicator; it suggested 6:00 - the time to get up in corsica on the last morning. - almost three weeks ago.

went to the open air cinema for the second time this year. it was not really warm, but my place (with a table at the side under the arcades) was fine, and the film ("maria, llena eres de gracia") was quite ok.

attended a wedding of 2 friends in a castle in spitz (wachau). nice location, delicious greek food, live music.

... I went to the open air cinema tonight for the first time this year. it could have been warmer, and the movie was not the best-ever-seen ("kinsey") but the atmosphere in the court and the whole setting was great again.

I'm a little annoyed. since the thunderstorm last friday (2005-07-29) summer has vanished, and we have kind of an autumn weather now.

never been to the open air cinema yet.

hopefully the weather will be better in ferrara.
