Magnizium

After yesterday‘s long run and today‘s HIIT I realized again that this body ache is much better than the ache you will get without it.

15km run in the freezing cold. Fortunately way less icy paths than last week. I need a hot tea now 🏃🏼

First time dining in a Korean anju bar. Delicious wine and food. Expensive, but well worth it.

Was invited to an early preview of Sam Raimi‘s new movie „Send Help“. Had a total blast, it‘s very funny, gross and dark. Rachel McAdams and Dylan O‘Brien are fantastic together. Also helped that they showed it on the biggest screen possible 🍿

It always amazes me how rude and demanding some people get when you have stuff to give away for free.

What I watched this week 🍿

10k run on ice roads and mud trails. Dangerous but I hate running on treadmills. Bonus: You get to feel like a 3-year old, stepping into puddles and getting all dirty and not caring about it 🏃

Playing Street Fighter 2 on the SNES on a CRT tv is the best throwback. Also forgot how hard this game is on single player.

Trying the Japanese slow running with niko-niko pace - if you can‘t smile the whole time you‘re still too fast. Only ran 7k because it‘s dark and miserable outside. Will go for a longer distance at this pace over the weekend.

No, I don‘t need your contact person. I need your answer person!

Berlin nights

Fairly impressed with Apple‘s Homepod. Integration is flawless, sound is excellent and it looks cool. The little stand beneath it I purchased separately. It has no functional benefit but looks even better now.

As a New Year‘s goal I mentioned I wanted to be able to run the distance of a half marathon this year. Now my wife signed me up to run an official half with her in September. It is not what I meant but it is what I will deal with 💪🏻

Saw this ruin today and on the right side it has an apartment which looks supercozy from the outside.

Always been fond of the classic Saul Bass design for The Shining. Finally got a print displayed in the studio.

Okay, so the smooth New Year’s transitional phase at work is official over 😓

Looking equally beautiful and completely out of place.

For some reason, and you can count on it, if you sell or give away used stuff that’s big and heavy in Berlin, people show up by bus or bicycle. Gave away an Ikea lounge chair, the young woman somehow managed to load onto her bike 🤯

Playing D&D I realized I’m not yet very good at actual roleplay. As a kid I totally imagined being someone else but never really wanted to act it out. Apparently that‘s what many do as kids. So I have to make up for it with education and preparation.

My Letterboxd 2025 stats 🍿

The Mastermind (2025) - Sometimes a story is just a story. Although this one is hard to sit through, a mixture of uneasiness and boredom. But very stylish, both in image and sound. ★★★ 🍿

A great read if you‘re into horror movies or would like to understand the appeal of them. Or if you still feel (like me) like this is something you would hide from other people 📖

Strange little movie. Stylish and mostly slow burning. Apparently this is about online „crime“ having real-life consequences. But for me this is rather ineffective since the unlikable protagonist doesn’t yet do anything illegal (more like unfair or questionable). So why the escalation? 🍿
