Choses formidables
the colour of the sky just before sunrise / the smell of the first raindrops on hot asphalt / climbing out of a tent heated up by morning sun into the fresh air / falling asleep on a train / going 80 kph on a bycicle or on ski / the lift-off of an airplane / the smell of electronic gear just after unpacking / riding the subway, especially when it’s fast, noisy, smells like machine oil and shakes like hell / the aestheticism of victorian and haute goth fashion / the fabulous affection and curiosity cats have / the aromatic scent of a forest, especially pines, resin, mushrooms, moss and lichens / going shopping in a huge supermarket while being hungry / a beer after a long hot day outside / the new born feeling after coming out of the sauna / the amazing silence and clear air and water up in the mountains / the slightly itchy feeling of a wound healing / running around like crazy on the tennis court chucking balls into nowhere / very long and gentle kisses / the hot, sandy and slightly yellowish flair of arid places / the naïve beauty of exuberant tropic rainforests and their inhabitants / the blinking of snow cristals / loosing oneself in a good book / the tastes and smells of viennese food: for example “käsekrainer mit fü senf und 3 schoaffn pfefferoni und an ottakringer” or “kümmlbratn mit knödl und kraut und an literliter”.
