Got back to the lab on sunday. Almost to late to feed the monsters. Had some difficulties with the trains and all that. The German Bahn has introduced a new system and no one understands it. Not even the folks working behind the counters of the Bahn. Hard-working scientists like myself have no time for this monkey-business! Get it on, Deutsche Bahn! Spent a few days in Hamburg. Dangerous place. I got into a riot while doing christmas-shopping. Members of the political left played cat and mouse with the cops. The servants of the state arrested everyone who didn't run away. All of this in a shopping-mall on the last saturday before christmas. Hell's lobby! I had a few drinks over the holidays. Met with a bunch of my fellow explorers of the unknown in Hamburg and Bremen. Terrible weather! We got ice-rain for days and trains got stuck in the middle of nowhere for up to 16 hours. The Bahn again! Stupid idiots!

Bremen was fun. They changed the law considering the opening of even more bars in the amusent-district. New places popping up everywhere. Most of them filled with the usual scumbags listening to lame old punkrock from 1978. Nice new bar called Urlaub and another new punkbar called Dschungel is just next door of the infamous Capri Bar. Eastern punkrock-idol Shakey has also opened a bar called Die kleine Kneipe. Following the Rum Bumpers, the Heartbreak Hotel, the legendary Eisen, the Schänke and the good old Lehmans, Bremen truly is the capitol of punk considering the importance of the drinking-part within the genre.

The boys and girls of the Chaos Computer Club were over here for the week-end. A lot of interesting new shit. They showed me how easy it is to get into the computers of the Deutsche Bahn and look at people's bonus-miles (damned Bahn again!). Then there's the new line of implementing sniffing bloodhounds right within the chips of the next generation of hardware. Smart people will start to use only old computer-equipment in a while.

These young people, it makes an old man cry. All that enthusiasm, all these conspiray-theories, all these nerds! Started working on Kong. Hm, no news I can reveal yet. Gotta talk to the guys upstairs first. Uploaded old files to a new site at Renderosity which will be the new Mad Science.Net - Gallery for this and that.

About time to vote for all these best movies and records of 2003. I'd say, the Pianist and Bowling for Columbine and a big hand the Eminem Show. Best site would be the one with all the toy robots Then I'd vote for Boy from Brazil in the newcomer-department and I'd throw a pile of shit at George Lucas. Besides that we had this thing called Bastard Pop which one of my dear co-workers plays when he wears his secret identity DJ MP3.Let three records play a t the same time and fuck around with the volume to get a idea. It sounds like bad cooking, but it's what young people are into nowadays. Then a lot of people got excited about this Electroclash, which sounds like warmed-over EBM and Jamie Lydell is supposed to be the new messiah. A lot of people say this now, but it was my dear friend Mr.Darius James who said it first. It was at Jamie's birthday at the Gorgonzola Club where Mr.James stood on his chair. He called Jamie the messiah of funk and all kinds of other things. Then he yelled around a little bit more and after a while he fell asleep. His dentist had to drive him home.

Someone should do something about all these cannibals. Can't we have a war on cannibals like we have a war on drugs and terrorists and all that? I'm much more scared of cannibals who wanna eat my penis than of drugs or some lunatic with a bomb.

I got a call by Mr.Raff from New York while I was still in bed. He said he'd plan to move his ass to Berlin as well in August next year. Meanwhile it looks like an exodus with all these American intellectuals moving to European capitols. Makes you think.
