I hate it. I would love to be on the road right now. Every time before I leave for some time I remember everything on my ToDo lists. Stuff is sitting there for ages but I feel somehow obliged to get it done. Of course I don’t do the stuff but I feel bad anyways… The van still isn’t finished. And it won’t be ever. But it’s almost good to go…

I’ve got an appointment in Stockholm by the end of the next week so I gotta get going soon. Now more new projects, finishing what has to be done over here and leave the rest for doing it when I’m travelling. Yesterday I somehow broke the back cover of my phone. Besides the weird feeling of shattered glass in your pocket the camera won’t work probably. Arghh. Whatever, seems I just have to suck it up for now. At least the anticipation of what is to come is growing stronger every day.

Yesterday I was in the workshop still fiddling with the rear axle. Some attachment points for the break lines broke off and I had to weld new ones, the screws for the driveshaft were to short so I couldn’t go for a test drive.

Instead of just going home I followed the noises I was hearing for a couple of hours by then. First it resembled a sound check and after that some punkrock/hardcore. Just a couple of hundred meters away from the workshop was a small festival. Weird. Just a minute after I arrived somebody on the stage announced the next band. Ego vs. Emo. The new project of a friend from Göttingen. I didn’t make it to their gig in Oldenburg and now I stumble on them by accident. What are the odds? A couple of minutes later I stumble over a couple of other friends, who also didn’t know about the festival before. One send me a text which I was back at home at 3am. After enjoying Ego vs Emo the next band was announced. Großstadtgeflüster. Especially while working in Oldenburg I really enjoyed some of their lyrics…

So instead of sitting at home alone I was on a festival with friends listening to two kickass bands. Thanks universe, that was a good one!

Exhausted. One working day left. I still can’t decide whether to go to hamburg tomorrow morning or to finish work. My friends in Hamburg are either out of town or pretty occupied. Maybe I should finish work tomorrow, make a stopover at hamburg and collect my stuff later.

Tweelbäker See again. Nice spot for an after work tea

Yeah. I think I really need that wicked feeling to have finished work. Be over with it. The beginning of a new adventure. Not the feeling of “i have to be back at work on Tuesday”. It’s a shame because I’m really curious what the robot workshop will be about. It looks like they have an old full size industrial robot. But probably somebody will tell me. Since the model looks almost exactly like the kuka we had at the university I already programmed it. But I’m really curious what artists do with it.
