I liked this movie a lot and it was not what I was expecting when I started watching it.

Do you also have this? You are watching a great show. Which you love a lot. And then there is a turning point in one episode and from one moment to the other you can’t watch the next episode anymore.

I think for me it happens when the turning point which could potentially lead to lot of emotion or trouble. One example would be a protagonist cheats on his partner. But not always. Right now I’m having this with season three of “for all mankind“. Although it is not because of cheating in this case.

I liked it, of course ;-) Also found out now that they used quite a lot of real sets.

Woke up to a power outage today – it was a short one (around 2 hours).

 

I attended a beautiful funeral ceremony yesterday. It was a sad event – the person went way too early. I’m glad I could be there, and it got me thinking about what I would wish for myself in such a situation. It surprised me.

I am testing my belief that I can live a full and abundant life, even while owning nothing. And I’m inviting you to experience this with me, whether by observing or by taking part.
The concept of ownership is considered by most a given, but the reality is, it’s just a concept. Ownership is a relatively new societal construct and it is simply a concept. There is no such thing as ownership. In some cultures, there is not even a word for ownership.

I follow him loosely on Youtube, and today I stumbled of this blog post of his and I found it interesting.

A slice of purple cake is placed on a green, leaf-shaped plate with a fork resting beside it. Next to the plate, a cup of purple-colored latte with white latte art sits on a wooden tray, accompanied by a small glass of water. The items are arranged on a wooden table with visible grain patterns.

Visited a new coffee shop yesterday and had Ube cake and a tea – very tasty.

 
A fox stands on a concrete surface near a house, facing the camera. The area is lit by warm light from the windows, which are framed by wooden shutters. Behind the fox, there is a small patio with a table and chairs on patterned tiles, decorated with a heart-shaped wreath, string lights, and potted plants. A drain runs along the edge of the concrete, and a small lantern is placed near the wall.

I’ve seen a fox yesterday evening - I was never this close to one!

 

I’m not quite sure yet what I should think about the new autocomplete in Xcode 16.2. At times it is magical (writing init functions) but then again it proposes completely wrong stuff.

Had a good day today, meat some new people in the afternoon and had a good talk. And we got some unexpected snow in the evening.

 
The image shows a screenshot of an application called "Publisher." A pop-up window titled "Message Composer" is in focus. It features a form for composing a message, with the following details: Title: "Wicked (2024)" displayed in bold with a small icon next to it. Description: A brief synopsis of the movie Wicked (2024), which reads: "In the land of Oz, ostracized and misunderstood green-skinned Elphaba is forced to share a room with the popular aristocrat Glinda at Shiz University, and the two's unlikely friendship is tested as they begin to fulfill their respective destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West."

Poster Image: A colorful movie poster featuring two figures, one dressed in black with a pointed hat (Elphaba) and another in pink (Glinda), set against a magical landscape with a castle in the background. Below the description, there is a section labeled "Body" with an optional placeholder for additional text. The form has "Cancel" and "Publish" buttons at the bottom. The background shows the application's main menu with options like "Share Text," "Share Album," and "Deploy Homepage."

My new movie posting function for my blogging app is starting to look good. Now I need to implement the actual posting. It searches the movie details from TheMovieDB.

A small decorative planter featuring a ceramic pig with a friendly smile. The pig is wearing a black top hat with a red band and is connected to a black flowerpot. The flowerpot has the German words "Viel Glück" (which means "Good Luck") written on it, along with a red ladybug decoration. The planter contains green plants with clover-like leaves, some of which have a dark red patch in the center. The scene is set on a wooden table in a well-lit room with natural sunlight streaming through sheer curtains in the background.

Happy New Year :-). We got this little good luck plant from our neighbours. It is so cute.

 

Payed the last bills for this year and cleaned up my desk. I think I’m ready for the new year now.

 

I just realized I’ve been sitting at my desk drinking plain hot water because I forgot to add a tea bag to my mug. My brain is not up to spec today.
