- 2 Nov, 15:10 @grammarware: Attended a Schäl Sick Brass Band concert this weekend, very classy & entertaining, songs from different countries, bass clarinet is amusing. ※ @
- 30 Oct, 10:50 @chepalova: Тем, кто идет, я настойчиво советую остаться в сознании до 4 утра и послушать группу Собаки.ру, которая будет в это время выступать ※ @
- 10:26 @grammarware: @chepalova вечная беда: лучших ставят последними, и народ к тому моменту уже ничего не воспринимает. Я так на Fabulous Thunderbirds ездил. ※ @
- 4:41 @grammarware: Have a lot of plans for tomorrow (i.e. Friday), better not let the infamous "post-deadline syndrome" take over me! ※ @
- 29 Oct, 14:09 @grammarware: Been told I look like I'm 20 and talk like I'm 50. Is that good, bad or simply wrong given the fact that I'm neither? ※ @
- 10:38 @chepalova: А кто что собирается делать в субботу? Это же Хэллоин получается, какие где вечеринки интересные проходить будут? ※ @
- 26 Oct, 22:45 @grammarware: The only tweeting place I know, @irishpubkoblenz, had Stalking horse w/80s covers. The most surprising one was Druckluftkammer with Fremitus ※ @
- 22:42 @grammarware: A busy weekend, I forgot to mention it was a fun Friday with Zapfkultur festival. Visited about 10 places with some friends, had lots of fun ※ @
- 21:32 @grammarware: I'm seriously considering starting to use eMusic. Anyone got any experience to share and advice to give on that? Mostly interested in blues. ※ @
- 10:41 @frama_c: @grammarware I used it. Limited choice, but in what was available, there were quality recordings that I discovered. If you like exploring... ※ @
- 19:05 @LeonMoonen: @grammarware instead of eMusic, consider spotify - why waste your own disk space ;-) ※ @
- 20 Oct, 22:53 @grammarware: Popa Chubby is fucking great! Whomever says otherwise, has never seen him performing. Koblenz is happy to have him playing. ※ @
- 19 Oct, 23:20 @grammarware: Set my GoogleTalk status to "Flüggåɘnkð€čhiœßølsên" for a couple of days, frankly surprised by the number of people who don't get the quote. ※ @
- 11 Oct, 0:17 @grammarware: Maintained a long discussion on German literature today. I’m not too lousy on the subject—the only mentioned writer I didn’t now is feminist ※ @
- 0:14 @grammarware: “Until you’re eighteen nothing matters. […] And afterward it’s the same way.” © Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald #quote ※ @
- 9 Oct, 14:43 @grammarware: After watching a movie yesterday I finally got a joke I heard in August 1999. Who said I’m slow? Well, perhaps I am, but I have persistence. ※ @
- 14:39 @grammarware: When I see photos like these, I start regretting not becoming an entomologist again. acidcow.com ※ @
- 1:54 @grammarware: On the other hand, “I don't keep up with new CDs” was an answer to my expressed delight about Sylvester Weaver (recorded 1923–1927). *New*?? ※ @
- 1:52 @grammarware: Oli Brown seems to be more famous than I thought — a Russian friend who “doesn't keep up with new CDs” knew him from a concert he saw on TV. ※ @
- 4 Oct, 22:31 @grammarware: Watched “There Will Be Blood”, nice movie. This world needs more films like this, more series like Deadwood, like Breaking Bad. Any advice? ※ @
- 18:03 @grammarware: Just got back from two geocaching trips. Very entertaining, somewhat dangerous, tiring & full of adrenaline. Rhine’s environs are beautiful. ※ @
- 3 Oct, 11:59 @grammarware: Went out yesterday, announced to my friends that I will speak German from that point on. They said I have Dutch, English & Russian accents! ※ @
- 29 Sep, 1:27 @grammarware: I thought there’s no film like “The Pokrovsky Gate”, turns out there is. It’s called “Anything Else”. Both are funny & piss me off immensely ※ @
- 1:34 @ashalynd: @grammarware erm... can't quite combine your two statements into one :) ※ @
- 1:38 @grammarware: @ashalynd both movies are full of situations that irl I tend to react quickly and agressively to, so it’s a bit painful to see going on & on ※ @
- 1:43 @ashalynd: @grammarware Ah, I understand. I had a similar reaction to The Irony of Fate when I saw it as a child. Movies happen on another planet! ※ @
- 2:07 @grammarware: @ashalynd I must confess I cannot comprehend “The Irony of Fate” in any other way than a part of NY tradition, like a salad or a fir tree. ※ @
- 2:12 @ashalynd: @grammarware this movie is just a perfect excuse for drinking until one can't remember why he has started doing it :) ※ @
- 1:40 @grammarware: @ashalynd or don’t you agree the two movies have a lot in common? I’ve just watched “Anything Else”, and have drawn quite a few parallels. ※ @
- 1:45 @ashalynd: @grammarware didn't see Anything Else yet... will give it a try - I like The Pokrovsky Gate even if it's full of quotes 2 some other movies. ※ @
- 2:05 @grammarware: @ashalynd I have never seen a girl or a woman who does not like “The Pokrovsky Gate”. The guys are quite more fuzzy on that. No offence ;) ※ @
- 28 Sep, 18:45 @grammarware: “On Jimmy Reed Highway” by Omar and Jimmy Vaughan is plain awesome. If Howlin' Wolf was alive, he could’ve done better, but no-one else can. ※ @
- 27 Sep, 11:47 @grammarware: Need to figure out where Pforzheim is—in order to exchange all the money I had to all CDs I wanted I promised a guy to visit his store there ※ @
- 26 Sep, 23:14 @grammarware: Actually, scratch that - turns out the peg leg guy plays mighty fine harpo! ※ @
- 23:12 @grammarware: 1 of Bill Wyman's saxes got his leg broken. They'd sound lots better if both saxes got both their arms broken as well. ※ @
- 22:18 @grammarware: Rocking and rolling at Lahnsteiner Bluesfestival, enjoying it a lot. Oli Brown said he likes my t-shirt. ※ @
- 24 Sep, 21:52 @grammarware: Almost forgot: yesterday was the birthday of Bruce Springsteen. I still can’t believe the Cool Rocking Daddy is actually 60! ※ @
- 18:29 @grammarware: Genuine street blues played with a guitar and a lightbulb [video] youtube.com - impressive and enjoyable ※ @
- 22 Sep, 23:28 @grammarware: In short, I liked Edmonton very much. Has the same small town flavour as Koblenz, except people are actually friendly. ※ @
- 20 Sep, 4:07 @grammarware: Three movies, three papers & three airports later I’m finally in the awesome Fairmont Hotel for #SCAM2009. There were problems, all overcome ※ @
- 13 Sep, 17:40 @grammarware: “Everything these days is pictures, pictures and noise. Nobody knows how to talk, just grunt at each other” © The Wild One ※ @
- 17:47 @jzy: @grammarware I blame Tumblr ※ @
- 17:53 @grammarware: @jzy the movie’s been made in 1954, and the original sentence was about TV. Nowadays things like Tumbr take over the niche. ※ @
- 17:58 @jzy: @grammarware the internet has killed my handwritting skill and the ability to focus for more than 2 minutes. :( wooo redball. ※ @
- 12 Sep, 15:38 @grammarware: Watched both Ladykillers #movies: 1955 and 2004. Cannot really decide which one is better, they are different, but I enjoyed both of them. ※ @
- 8 Sep, 11:18 @grammarware: There’re songs like “Summer in the City” & “When My Guitar Gently Weeps”—you feel they’re good, but you can never find a perfect performance ※ @
- 7 Sep, 17:23 @grammarware: Following a friend's advice by listening to The Sweet. It's Ok, I guess, but I'll still prefer Slade any time. ※ @
- 17:30 @corpaul: @grammarware have to say I don't really like both! 70s has much better music! ※ @
- 18:54 @grammarware: @corpaul whom could you advice then? Apart from blues(-rock) ones and Bruce Springsteen? Please don’t say Smokie and don’t say Queen! ;) ※ @
- 5 Sep, 10:35 @grammarware: Met a nice girl tonight (well, yesterday night)… then met her boyfriend. Three times. Fail! Had to go to different place to find any singles ※ @
- 10:30 @grammarware: Been to a goth party (invited by a friend), might’ve… destroyed it ;) Outdanced the main 4 goth kids, they left & dj put Setzer’s “60 Years” ※ @
- 2 Sep, 21:26 @grammarware: Watched “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” — quite nice. A bit too vanilla for my taste (everybody lived to have a happy ending) but nevertheless ※ @
- 1 Sep, 20:18 @grammarware: I still love global random music play: after You are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine you can easily get DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE. ※ @
- 20:25 @corpaul: @grammarware nice, i have the same... searched for 'troy' the other day in my mp3 collection, found 143 results for 'destroy' ※ @
- 2 Sep, 8:52 @grammarware: @corpaul yeah I remember you tweeting about it. I have only one "troy"/"destroy" in mine by Tsuneo Imahori, I’m mostly really a blues fella. ※ @
- 31 Aug, 21:16 @grammarware: It’s the last day of the summer, people! Whatever you haven’t had the chance to do this summer, do it today or be silent till next year. ※ @
- 29 Aug, 17:13 @grammarware: Found it, enjoying the music & the food. 2 acoustic guitars + 1 kazoo + 1 flute... ※ @
- 15:28 @grammarware: Blast it! On the way to the festival I found a good music shop. Will I have any money left after I'm done here? Not sure. ※ @
- 12:15 @grammarware: On my way to a songster festival - excited to find out what they have to offer. ※ @
- 4:19 @grammarware: Walking home feeling good after 1 cinema, 1 bar & 1 disco - nice way to spend Friday night. Already have some plans for tomorrow! ※ @
- 27 Aug, 16:01 @grammarware: Turns out Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mike Naumenko died in one day (today), and even were of the same age (36). Weird coincidence. ※ @
- 26 Aug, 20:54 @grammarware: Global random play feature is useful in big well-classified music collections: there are some songs that you don’t cover with other criteria ※ @
- 6:57 @grammarware: Sometimes I wonder if I should be doing more “physical” job, not just sit at my computer gathering and developing speculative knowledge. ※ @
- 7:00 @corpaul: @grammarware physical jobs aren't for geeks, we make people move for us ※ @
- 12:09 @grammarware: @corpaul exactly. So, if I’m able to move by myself, it kinda disqualifies me as a geek and suggests that I should be picking cotton or smth ※ @
- 6:56 @grammarware: Yesterday I walked ~10km, swam ~1.5km, ran ~1.5km, played badminton ~2.5hrs, drank ~1l beer. Didn't feel exhausted. Woke up at 5am, still OK ※ @
- 22 Aug, 13:39 @grammarware: Another customer wondered why I was buying cheese uncut. “No,—the shop owner aptly replied for me,—real experts always buy cheese in blocks” ※ @
- 19 Aug, 17:56 @grammarware: “The journey of life always includes the possibility of death.” © Interstate 60 ※ @
- 10:24 @grammarware: I’m not easily impressed by people’s clothes, but I’ve just seen a guy on the campus casually wearing a pink scarf. A scarf. Pink. At 30°C. ※ @
- 8:45 @grammarware: As you all know, Tarantino named his personal top movies since 1992 youtube.com I’ve only seen 4/20, but intend to use his advice. ※ @
- 21:24 @corpaul: @grammarware interesting list. I know about half of them, can't say I really agree with him on most. Don't like some of his own movies tho ※ @
- 11:11 @grammarware: @corpaul yeah, it’s interesting. If he thinks smth is worth mentioning, I consider it worth watching ;) Hate the KB end and HellRide is crap ※ @
- 18 Aug, 10:45 @grammarware: Using a summer route to get to the university from home: 5.4 km along the river Mosel, across two bridges. Finished today in 50 minutes. ※ @
- 17 Aug, 21:30 @grammarware: Офигенно: «Чему быть — состоится, Пожелай захотеть. Не спеши торопиться, Опоздай не успеть». Автора не знаю, процитировал знакомый лектор. ※ @
- 15 Aug, 21:07 @grammarware: Japanese blues for me is not Terauchi Takoshi, it’s rather Matsuo Basho. His “sabi” (寂) is 100% equivalent to blues. Deep breathtakin blues. ※ @
- 18:52 @grammarware: «Июльский дождь» оказался неожиданно действительно хорошим фильмом. И да, фильм действительно 1967 года, а я тормоз. Тем и живём. ※ @
- 14:25 @grammarware: "Какой же я лентяй?! Я работаю как водолаз - 18 минут в сутки!" (с) ※ @
- 14 Aug, 16:36 @grammarware: I plan to go see this movie in the cinema (1st time in Germany) — kino-zeit.de
#bookmark for Oct/Nov. ※ @
- 15:42 @grammarware: And to remind you, I live in Germany, people here don’t greet one another and don’t talk to one another unless they are legally obliged to. ※ @
- 15:40 @grammarware: Every time I cut my hair, it seems somehow to double my charisma. *EVERY* person on the way back to the uni said hi to me, including bikers. ※ @
- 13:14 @grammarware: Seems like I’ve been banned & wiped from x264.me. Not too much of a loss, I won’t cry about it, but still weird—was I really that inactive? ※ @
- 13 Aug, 15:06 @grammarware: A group of Germans approached me during an evening walk: “do u know a bar nearby?” I explained the way, they inquired: “is it a nice place?” ※ @
- 9 Aug, 19:15 @grammarware: Spent a day in Echternach (LU) today, very fun. Surprisingly a lot of bikers: mostly independents or not in colours, but still nice to see. ※ @
- 28 Jul, 19:08 @grammarware: Listening to the music I was fond of when I was twice as young. Lyrics contain “we are 27 already” («нам по 27 лет…»). Funny: I am 27 now. ※ @
- 15:27 @Dzedyn: Бред...RT @grammarware: «Если вы купили книжку и дали её почитать соседу, вы нарушаете законодательство». slon.ru ※ @
- 15:20 @grammarware: «Если вы купили книжку и дали её почитать соседу, вы нарушаете законодательство». slon.ru ※ @
- 13:21 @grammarware: Is it just me or are there really too many people around proudly telling everyone that they don’t watch tv and promoting such a lifestyle? ※ @
- 13:46 @ashalynd: @grammarware I can go without TV for months, can't care less what is shown there :) kids don't watch it much either. ※ @
- 13:55 @grammarware: @ashalynd I don’t have an antenna/cable at home myself for the last year. Just not fanatic enough to turn “tv abstinence” into religion ;) ※ @
- 14:02 @sternandy: @grammarware If they keep replacing shows I watch with reality TV I will look forward to joining that group and spend more time reading. ※ @
- 14:17 @grammarware: @sternandy I was waiting for someone to say “to spend more time on Twitter” ;) Reading, hiking and music are 3 things I’ll miss if TV is on. ※ @
- 14:16 @Felienne: @grammarware Define watching television :) Does watching downloaded content count? ※ @
- 14:23 @grammarware: @Felienne perhaps not, I think they mean old-style “I’ll switch it on and see what’s shown to me”. Internet addicts have other sources ;) ※ @
- 26 Jul, 22:51 @scarych: Скачал "Аватар" - ооочень добротное аниме.Буду смотреть ※ @
- 23:12 @grammarware: @scarych технически это совсем не аниме. Просто мультик, сделанный в соответствии с теми же жанровыми канонами на том базисе. Но крутой, да. ※ @
- 17:44 @zef: Just watched first episode of "House MD" not bad! ※ @
- 17:21 @grammarware: Weird: the 25 m swimming pool in Tauris feels at least twice as short as 25 m swimming pool in Stadtbad. Swam 1.3km, didn’t even warm up. ※ @
- 23:13 @notquiteabba: @grammarware I was in Tauris too, but on Saturday. I am obviously more focused on Tauris' sections for kids --- those parts are wonderful! ※ @
- 23:20 @grammarware: @notquiteabba oh yeah, it definitely felt like a perfect family place. I have quite some catching up to do w.r.t. number of kids, though… ※ @
- 23:23 @grammarware: @notquiteabba by the way, the weekend guest was Mike (he came alone, no kid/wife/etc), and he said to give you his best regards. ※ @
- 24 Jul, 3:48 @ronery: "Shinkokyû no Hitsuyô" Шинохары вчера бальзамом на рану облился. Такие простые фильмы и такие добрые -- большая редкость. ※ @
- 20 Jul, 0:00 @grammarware: Cadillac Records has little correspondence to reality, but it’s kinda a nice #movie anyway. Chuck Berry and Howling Wolf resemble real ones. ※ @
- 18 Jul, 22:54 @grammarware: Nothing sets your mind straight better than a good walk. Just hiked ~15 km around the city, feel inner and outer peace and satisfaction. ※ @
- 17 Jul, 20:38 @grammarware: If there was one single thing lacking in the Braga summer school program, then it must have been a proper Friday night out. ※ @
- 15 Jul, 22:37 @grammarware: Made some holiday plans and reservations for August, spent €500+ in a blink of an eye. Everything’s easier with the internet. ※ @
- 17:28 @grammarware: Listening to Joanne Shaw Taylor… and surprisingly enjoying it. Very decent blues rock if you ask me, it’s even ok for her to be a girl. ※ @
- 9 Jul, 8:23 @GeePawHill: basically? i became a computer geek in order to impress the chicks. same reason i've done almost everything. ※ @
- 28 Jun, 12:10 @grammarware: I’m downloading last year’s movie about the history of the blues (Chess era). Very anxious to watch it. Etta James is played by Beyoncé. ※ @
- 9 Jun, 0:17 @grammarware: Watched “Wyatt Earp” with @radkat. In her words, “a long & manly movie”. Indeed, way too long, but neat. Pity I forgot whose advice it was. ※ @
- 13 May, 20:28 @grammarware: I’d tweet about the movies I’ve seen, but the last one was “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” … Oops, 140 symbols! ※ @
