This is turning even more multimedia! Will watch after reading Chapter 3: We're Never Going Home

Watch this!

This is one of my favourite songs by Against Me! - a catchy anthem, though my teenage years were so very much different, singing along the lyrics is a very blantant lie.

Chapter 2: I was a Teenage Anarchist

Do you remember
When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

I Was A Teenage Anarchist (2010, official video)

Oh, the chapter headings add up to a soundtrack! So, here we go: 1. Walking is still honest

Do you want to love and feel it?
You can look but you can't taste it.
You can reach but you'll never have it.
We are untouchable;
Untouchable is something to be.

Walking Is Still Honest (acoustic version, 2012)

Rather weird: https://youtu.be/xilOgjeEwPg

Super. Jetzt weiß ich nicht, was ich tun soll. Hysterische griechische Prinzessin oder Hörspiel auf Ö1, Die 40 Tage des Musa Dagh.

Super, letztes Buch in einer Trilogie... was ich nicht alles um der Freundschaft willen anstelle...

Eh nich. Ich weiß natürlcih schon so ungefähr, was vorher passiert ist. Inzest, Blut und Beuschel, ein Riesendrama...

5k? Seriously? That's so retail...

On another note: The equity story of a research report I am currently editing/supervising reads like finance erotica blurb: swelling revenues, copious supply, stimulating and invigourating news, LMAO.

Hit the 30% mark and still not accellerating. Wonder where the tradeoff could begin and the sh*t may hit the fan...

Almost embarrassed to point out, one small typo: its KKR, not KRR...

Now it is getting personal. I still remember the week after these Bear Sterns funds went bust. I quietly deleted my CV on efinancialcareers and braced for impact, waited for the perfect storm to unfold. I think I must have been even of the same age as Martin then.

Was afraid that the story was too close to home, but it is not - yet. Until now rather a story from good ol'times - and I can't help getting sentimental, thinking back, remembering the hubris, the excess, the posing... even fondly. Guess I am a sick puppy, having survived all the carnage, currently patiently waiting for the industry to die a bit every day.

I totally want to knit a glardigan. RIGHT. NOW. See that, Stephen West? Gotta design some!

Yes, they are! Even in Hungarian!

I'm 43% done with For Real: I love these two so hard. Alexis...

I knew I was not safe. Not Kansas anymore

Mhm... Why am I not feeling being on the safe side again?

What? WTF?

Tupping... to many modifiers ... tupping again ... blahblah with too many superlatives ... now tupping... cheesy dialogue ... ridiculous plot ... are these rabbits?

Writing still yuck... and a lengthy tupping scene already that made me wonder about the explosiveness of a certain body part...

Yuck, the writing style makes me cringe...

By mistake I started with the third book in the series as Amazon had the order wrong.

It remained icky ...

Ugh, that was icky... anticlimatical. Its really weird, though she asked for it, so one has to accept it.

Building up very slowly. He must have a very hard stick up his arse.

Oh, I am so excited! Arrived on my kindle this morning. Now I am mulling re-reading some of the Enlightenment series before getting started...

How come a firs person narration could be so ... impersonal ... clinical... when they're getting it on?

I still need to get used to the first person narration. Most of the time its ok, but sometimes the narrator is too close to stating facts, not beliefs - as he should do, which feels artificial.
