What a great photo set – David Bowie doing normal things like riding the subway, eating or making instant coffee. I don’t usually do those “Happy Birthday [insert inspirational celebrity here]!” posts but oh well, happy belated birthday, David Bowie! (via)
My friend Paul made this amazing video about his time in Berlin. I’m gonna miss him! That’s always been the sad part of this city, people are coming over all the time from all over the world but of course they’re all leaving again at some point. Anyway, check out his views of Berlin!
I spent the last two hours browsing through “Spice World” screencaps and drooling over their stylishness while waiting for Janna to come over and bring me junk food. I’m moving this weekend and I feel less prepared than ever, although I have the flat keys in my pocket & already packed all my belongings into boxes. Right now I’m in a state between complete emotional numbness and utter excitement – we’ll see.
I have mixed feelings about Berlin. I live here, it’s my city at the moment and I certainly like it here. Although Cologne will always have a special place in my heart, I guess I’ve had the best times over here so far. However, I dislike people romanticising Berlin and fooling themselves into thinking that only if you live here you can do whatever you like and be whoever you want to be. And while all this pretentious Berlin romanticism is doing my head in, I really like this Tilt-Shift video of the city by pilpop.

I re-watched this film the other night. I like it although it leaves out the whole background of the story and only focuses on drugs, desperation and David Bowie (which is not a bad combination either).
I watched Trainspotting* again the other night and having a friend reading out my “Choose life” poster in Scottish accent this morning made me want to re-read Irvine Welsh (which I’m going to do tonight).
* I think Trainspotting might be one of my all time favourite movies but it doesn’t really mean much considering I’ve maybe watched about 100 films in my life and only own 5 DVDs that aren’t even originals. I do like films but I’m usually too lazy and never focused enough to watch them. Over time, I’ve become pretty good at playing the movie retard and pissing film experts off by saying things like “Well, to be honest I think Tarantino is quite overrated.” or laughing all along during horror movies.
I absolutely love Disney. There’s nothing better than being in bed late at night watching old Disney classics. I already wrote about this before, my favourite animated Disney movie was “Robin Hood”. I wanted to be brave like Robin and charming like Maid Marian.
“Are we good guys or bad guys? You know. I mean, uh, our robbin’ the rich to feed the poor.” – “Rob? That’s a naughty word. We never rob. We just… sort of borrow a bit from those who can afford it.”
What’s your favourite Disney movie? If you haven’t watched it in a long time, go do it! It’s so worth it!
This is me. I barely wear colours because they just don’t suit me. People have tried to talk me into trying purple or green (as “it matches my hair”) or pastel colours (as “I’m a spring type”) but nothing worked. I sticked to black and I probably will for the rest of my life unless something magical happens that drags me away from the black.
I’m really not a fashion person, I don’t care about designers or fashion weeks, I just like to see what people wear and get inspired. Most of the time I don’t really give a fuck about what I pull out of my drawer each morning but it’s interesting to think about how my clothes reflect who I am. And how to express myself through what I wear. How to find out who you are and make the most of yourself, that sort of thing.
It’s time for a little Tumblr roundup again!
Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself. – Oscar Wilde
Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other… to try the manners of different nations; to hear the chimes at midnight; to see the sunrise in town and country; to be converted at a revival; to circumnavigate the metaphysics, write halting verses, run a mile to see a fire, and wait all day long in the theatre to applaud Hernani. - Robert Louis Stevenson

I found this on Tumblr and it definitely made my Sunday. It’s so sweet, naïve and heart-warming, yet so true and another reminder that we should see the world through children’s eyes more often.

Some more stuff I love. Never thought it’d feel so good to just be, well, inspired. Inspired to do… whatever. That’s not really the point.
That’s what’s so wonderful about being young, there are no mistakes, only research.
“There’s no use in trying,” said Alice; “one can’t believe in impossible things.” “I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
