| bad mood today since I came to work this morning...so have all the others. what a wrong day.. just waiting to come home, order some pizza, buy some red wine and watch Mulholland Drive with Beccy. for days I am in the perfect mood for this movie.. and today we have the time for it. I just take the time for it...althought I would have to do a lot of THE SPOOK stuff, but I cannot do any more now. need a break after a full day of work.
hope the evening will turn out great and I am already looking forward to lying in bed and falling asleep... so tired and worn out!
I need a push... a blast...some BLACK FLAG tunes e.g. or some mighty BAD BRAINS...the quickness album!! yesss... | comments: Leave a comment  |
| hey! yesterday evening it came from above...the white cold stuff changed everything into a white magick beauty. I love it...I took my iPod, put on my boots and walked the night...slowly, silently and moody. I had a great time. it snowed the whole damn night and is still now.
seems to become a great weekend. what about your`s? | comments: Leave a comment  |
| it's been quiet a while since my last entry. there hasn't been some sort of reason for that but just the lack of time.. time flies and as you pass another weekend, which mostly is very short, anther week is gone. I can see that when I think about Ethan.. he is now 20 months old and when I tell myself that my son is almost 2 years around us..I think "wow"! where's the time?!
I am looking for a new job that will give me more pleasure and free time btw.. hopefully there will be soon a change concerning this topic..
with THE SPOOK we are still in a waiting position...no idea which producer, which studio and which label.. there are a lot of different ideas and options and fuck.. we need to record our fuckin' songs!! people are waiting...
but in the meantime, I did the re-design of the official website: www.thespook.de. we are gonig to contribute our song "Reanimated" for the upcoming horrorpunk compilation from HorrorHigh Records and we will do a 7" for Squoodge Records with two songs: "Woe Of Your Heart" and "We Want The Airwaves" (Ramones Cover). Hopefully Florian Bertmer will do the coverart for us.. he's more or less the German Pushead!! Rad!!
I am glad weekend is soon. I need some more sleep at nights...I am really burned out today.. 4 hours of sleep again is not that much..
I also have to install all programs on my computer again. I hate this process... I did it 3 times and now it's again. I hate my computer.. there are always some problems. some spontanious resets, breakdowns and stuff...
really looking forward to the new Mac Mini...we will buy it soon!! apple rules... just the prices are a little bit to high... but who cares...
hope you're doing well. wish you a good weekend! take care, r. | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| what a weird sunday!!
I had to work today.. 8 hours sheer pain in the ass!! at the moment there is so much work to do in the office, we all have to do extra-work. so I got home at 6pm and had to fix some shelves (for our dvds) on the wall in our living room.
after that I drove to our drummer, gave him some cds and drove on to my parents. I picked up my old tv-set for our sleeping room. at home again, we had some food and checked the tv and VCR...it works!! great!! now, we can watch movies while lying in bed.
again, I need some more weekend... | comments: Leave a comment  |

| today was easy... woke up by ethans feet hitting my stomach.. he is always active at 5.30/6.00 am which means we cannot sleep till 6.45 anymore!! damn, but he's so cute..especially in the morning, when he just got up..
got to work, had some delicious croissant with chocoreale, the best choco-paste ever, and it's even vegan! just love it! work was easy, too.. I just burned dvds, data, files and stuff. worked on some new layouts and transfer some emails..
in my break I met with my two cuties: beccy and ethan. we had some pommes and I got back to work: same thing again.. looking forward to 17.30h which means knock off work :-) and which means: three days free!! yeehaa!
I got home and met dean, our singer and annika, his friend. both babysitted ethan for an hour, then they went to see the new Batman movie.
I gave ethan some more food, brushed his teeth and he got to bed at 8.20 pm such a cute guy today.. no screaming, no crying!! just playing with his toys and suddenly he fell asleep..
I started my work at beccy.net and I really did some cool progression... now, "only" her gallery has to be polished. some .css and stuff and hopefully www.beccy.net will be launched by the end of the week :-)
beccy got home at 11.50 and we went to bed. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| yesterday we drove to an old castle called "Schloss Burg". it is a one hour drive away near the two cities Remscheid and Solingen. it was way cool. we all had a lot of fun. there's a museum inside and all walls, towers and rooms are in a very good shape.. just like in the old days, you know. ;-) after that we had ice cream which was delicious.. in the evening of SUN I worked at beccys website... I started a new layout again!!
on SAT we watched SAW. a very cool and rad movie.. I liked it a lot and beccy too.
the rest of the weekend was very quiet and relaxed. sunny and hot. | comments: Leave a comment  |

| my weekend was weak...didn't do so much, but did some shopping, cleaning, discussing, dvd-watching and playing with little Ethan which was cool.
but I thought about spending my free sunday with beccy, too. nope! she's was gone for a tattoo-convention..damn. there aren't much sundays where I don't have any rehearsal..this time was one, but again, we did spend less time together..
BUT the evening was great. beccy cooked some really delicious pasta and prepared our livingroom with 1000s of candles.. so we had a really romantic dinner.. :-) we watched "legend of the evil lake" which is a way cool movie..we love asian fight movies..
went to bed at 0.30 and got up today at 6.20 - I hate sleeping not enough... | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |

| today I feel better than yesterday. maybe the reason for that is the cool sunny weather. the temperature is right and my mood is comfortable.
beccy sent me a pic of ethan playing outside..I want to join them, but I have to work..
I hope my order at the record-store will arrive soon: John Zorn - Rituals CD Mori Chieko - Jumping Rabbit CD
this evening I will do nothing but spend my tiime with my family.. looking forward to it.. will enjoy my banana/choko ice-cream..tasty!

| SAT in berlin: we slept til 11am, so we slept 11 hours!!! rad.. we had a huge breakfast at a french café and after that we went thru the oranienstreet shopping: Little Gloomy comics. emily strange posters. records, shirts, shoes and all the stuff you need.
then we met up with stefani form cologne and myra from hamburg and did some sightseeing: siegessäule and the brandenbuger tor. we drove to the Alexander place, the Funkturm and the Tacheles, which is a huge alternative arthouse with different artists, all independent and free art. paintings, modellings and kinda stuff. that was way cool. some paintings were really good and if I had the money I had bought one...my favorite were about 450,- euros!! expensive!! but wow..
it was raining all day and in the evening we all had been quiet wet. we had some falafel for dinner and then we went to the wild at heart. it was so packed it was a blast.. bad air, just drunken punks and no go... I hate that shit! we left the WAH and entered the Tikiheart again. hey elisa, that bar would be your favorite!! xxx
after two coronas we went home, tired and wet again from the rain. we slept til 11am, took a shower, had breakfast at the Hannibal café and now checking the schedule for the day..
we will join lithium picnic and apnea again for shooting at the Motor Records office / loft.
I need one more coffee I think and some bananas, too. :-)
I hope I won't get a cold from yesterdays rain, I feel cold now.
rock on, ross | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment  |

| we started at 4am in the morning and reached berlin at 12.30. there was a huge traffic jam in hannover...fuck!! 1,5 hour sitting in the car with heat and stillstand.. not my cup of tea!!
but again berlin is cool. I am here for the 6th time and I almost know most of the streets and ways in Kreuzberg like it is my hometown..
beccy and me had been at the Fetish Fair today. we met Apnea and Lithium Picnic. very nice people. beccy did a shooting with LP which only took 30min: fast, furious and awesome!
I met Kumi and Darenzia and a nice fetish model from london, sorry I forget your name yet.. "where's your dog-slave?!" ;-)
we ended the day at the Tikiheart next to the Wild At Heart, had some drinks and food there and now we will hit the bed, tired and done. we will be ready for tomorrow: shopping, sightseeing (showing beccy around) and party in the evening.
we will meet with the guy from Motor Records and we will be joined by Myra, another german suicidegirl.. SAT will be pretty cool I hope..
have a good night!

any more?!
I plan to do a small record label called VULCANO | Booking & Recordings . I will start with a split 7" series with some cool bands. there are some interesting bands but not to mention yet... besides, me and beccy are going to do some booking for several bands, too. depends on how much time we will have.. sounds good?!
yesterday I finished the Logo for Evil Killing Records. it is not the best one, but it's more or less the version, the label owner wants it to look like.. I had some other ideas but that's live ;-)
next job is in progress... the gallery for beccy.net - I will use .php and I don't have any idea of it.. yay!
okay, time to hit the pillow. rock on, ross | comments: Leave a comment  |

| what a weird SAT! we got up, I took a shower, had some toast and a coffee for breakfast. then I started my computer..damn, that machine was so slow today.. I opened outlook and nothing happened. I run down the PC to restart .. nothing happened either and there was no moving with my mouse.. fuck! again I hate that pc. so I smashed my right elbow on the keyboard and hit it hard.. shit. that pain went into my head and suddenly I got knocked out!!! total blackness before my eyes and I fell from my seat down to the ground. but I first hit the table with my nose and hit the edge of our bed with my head! so there was some blood dripping from my head.. my elbow still hurts.. and my got a little scar on my head now.. and some dry blood..hehe..shit!
that was my day before 12am. then we went to the supermarked, then into the city. and finally beccy and me entered a sexshop in order to buy a vibrator for a birthday present for mel! yes, she's in a relationship, BUT she told me that it would be fun and there are evenings and nights, when her friend is out working / nightshift.. so there's a little someone for pure pleasure satisfaction :-)
then we got home, watched some tv and finally went to mel to her b-day party. it was fun, when she opened her present..she expected it and her friend really laughed, too. dinner was tasty and drinks were cool. people were cool, too. it was fun.
now we're at home and really tired.. hanging out in front of the tv. there's some Chucky movie..but I don't like it. too silly..
finally it was a good day..wasn't it?! | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment  |
