night at the castle

Night at the castle 20 kilometers away from Vienna, stranded by a rolling thunderstorm. Alone in the dark castle while the bell tower rings for quarter to midnight, only to be drowned by yet another thunder, which illuminates the windows. I would be scared to meet right about anybody here at IIASA tonight. I seem to be already too tired to work, but not tired enough yet to collapse on the carpet to sleep. Hence, I am finally updating my blog. The last month has been great and I am sad to think that the end of this Summer is very near. Lots of things happened since I last wrote, besides getting stranded at the Airport, I witnessed my little sister Minttu getting married, went to paddle at the Danube nature reserve, did clubbing and a heurigen crawl with bike, met a gay couple, learned Taiji, watched an opera recording from a big screen and probably did many other things which I should have written down while I still remembered. I planned to write off course, but I've been working a lot and coming back home in Simmering quite late and usually I've been too tired to do much.

Lets see if I can get some sleep despite the conditions.

24.7. Orpheus & Eurodyce

I am forced to upload this entry quite late as I wrote it in the plain to Finland and was not able to get online. Since then my girlfriend was around and I did not have time to update the blog. on the 25. I should have requested to get into the Finnair business lounge, as I was forced to wait additional six hours at the Helsinki-Vantaa international airport, as they jousted me out of my flight. Hopefully, they really do compensate as much as they promised. Well in the previous day I was enjoying some modern dance...

After many difficulties I finally sat down in the third row of Theatre and der Wien not really knowing what to expect of the next two hours. but what a show it turned out be. erotic yes, that was to be expected from the description on the Impulz dance web page, but still I was baffled by the strength of the presence compared to any recorded shows. This feeling was stipulated even more by few sequences where some of the dancers danced within the audience, especially eurodice who passed me by within arms length in those golden micro shorts and skimpy bits barely covering the nipples... whoa I am getting carried away here :) besides this don't look back episode there were many others more explicit ones, but trying to describe them here is pretty pointless. all I can say is that I enjoyed the show for all the money I paid for it.
