[Ghostbusters] Brainwaves: Quotes

Dr / Professor May Keaton

"It's okay to wonder what happens next."

“If we’re all gonna die anyway, shouldn’t we be enjoying ourselves now?”

“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

“Who allowed you to take my breath away?”

“She pushes people away before they get a chance to leave her, and for twenty years she’s been alone because of it.”

“You can never replace anyone…because everyone is made of such beautiful, specific details.”

“For the wound to heal, you need to stop touching it.”

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

Dr / Professor Allison Wada

"The body is a temple, treat it like one."

"What a dangerous combination."

"Maturity begins when you understand that dignity is more important than falling in love."

"Women, they have minds and they have souls as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition and they’ve got talent as well as just beauty, and I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it! But, I am so lonely.”

“Let’s leave the Jews out of this for a moment. Let’s think of another minority. One that… One that can go unnoticed if it needs to. There are all sorts of minorities, blondes for example… Or people with freckles. But a minority is only thought of as one when it constitutes some kind of threat to the majority. A real threat or an imagined one. And therein lies the fear. If the minority is somehow invisible, then the fear is much greater. That fear is why the minority is persecuted. So, you see there always is a cause. The cause is fear. Minorities are just people. People like us.”

Dr / Professor Heather Nieto-Jorge

"Look for truth, not for fantastical lies."

"I'm surrounded by idiots."

“If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is the ability to play along. and z is keeping your mouth shut.”

“The most important thing in life is life itself.”

“Pursue excellence and success will come chasing you.”

"Each one of us has a story of how we got to where we are, which most likely involves study drugs, getting blackout drunk, and having one night stands. We’ll tell these stories at dinner parties and to our future children. Well, maybe not the one night stand part. Or the blackout drunk part. Or the study drugs for that matter. But maybe our stories don’t have to be for anyone but ourselves.“

Dr / Professor Nova Teufel

"And that is how the world ends."

“When I’m with you, I feel so safe. Like I’m home”

“My problem is that I think too much and I feel too deeply.”

“Why, you stuck up, half-witted, scruffy-looking Nerf herder.”

“Nothing that lives, lives forever.”

“Nobody ever does anything to be nice. They always wanna get something out of it.”

“I’m just a screwed-up girl who’s looking for my own peace of mind.”

“In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think.”

“Those that see me for me, don’t think that my face is the most attractive part.”

“People should be able to say how they feel. How they really feel. Not some words strangers put in their mouths.”

“You talk way too fast, and you are way too nice to everyone … you’re not hard to get at all. You’re hard to earn.”

“My house. My rules. My coffee.”

“If I had a normal family and a good upbringing…then I would have been a well-adjusted person. I mean, I feel like I’m…I feel like I’m ya know well-adjusted. We’re good friends, and it’s good to be, ya know, good friends. I mean, I’d like to really talking with you.”

“There are some people that go to the party and dance, and there are some people that sit in the corner. I’m the corner guy.”

“I am so lost in my life. eleven cups of coffee a day in bed, reading irrelevant things, eating junk all day, lazy, unhealthy and non-productive.”

Wenn das Theater für die 'S-Ta(a)t-'S oder Staatstheater für uns als männlichen Besucher: Der Bi-Waldi und seine '4 Ja-zum-Ass-Zeiten' in der Ab-end-vorstellung spielt, die eigene Ehefrau oder Freundin und eigens für ein paar von sehr weit weg her angereiste Freunde!!

(So kann das Überraschungen mit sich bringen, von denen selbst wir uns sehr beeindruckt zeigen, wie auch die Freunde!)

Der Tragödie zusätzlichem auch noch dritten Teil. Frei nach Goethes: 'Leiden des jungen Werthers' und Schillers: 'Die Räuber'. (Denn anschließend kann es noch genauso wieder zum großangelegten Raub auch an uns kommen, womit es auch über das Leiden hinausreicht, körperliche wie seelische, auch durch uns dann erlittene! In der Regel kriegen wir davon allerdings selber dann nicht mehr allzu viel mit! Entweder sind in der Zwischenzeit auch wir schon stärker erkrankt, oder aber es gibt länger schon auch uns gar nicht mehr als Person! Die Erkrankung sie stellte sich als zu schwerwiegend dafür heraus, sodass auch wir ihr am Ende erliegen mussten!!)

Morgensonne über Darmstadt.

'So are you happy??' happy : Age(d) + ab, weg! + das Ei. das 'h' als nur einzelner Buchstabe und in der englischen Aussprache.

'Adelheid und ihre Mörder'

'Der Tommi hat sie sich alle locker wieder in die Tasche gesteckt!!'

'Vom Stamm allmählich herunterfallendes und sich sammelndes welkes Laub'

'Witwe Bolte' aus 'Max & Moritz'. Max und Moritz enden dabei im Brot. Sie werden zu Körnern zermahlen. to be bold (engl.): zu kühn, frech. von Humboldt, Weltentdecker und Forscher : der cum + bold. der Held unter den Männern, ob gewollte oder nicht-gewollte.

(correction: title should also say vs. Karl Wilhelm von Toll. But funny mistake given the standings at the moment I'm writing this)

Thomas-Alexandre Dumas

“mustache”

“Tall! Daring! Swashbuckling! A devoted husband and father! Had a personal conflict with Napoleon! Also it was said he could, while holding onto a bar above his head, LIFT A HORSE WITH HIS THIGHS. How is he not on this list ten times already! Vote for General Dumas!”

“He was so hot that he inspired The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and many more books that his son, Alexandre Dumas, wrote. He definitely looked the part of a sexyman, as he son recounts in his memoirs: "My father, as already stated, was twenty-four, and as handsome a young fellow as could be found anywhere. His complexion was dark, his eyes of a rich chestnut colour [...]. His teeth were white, his lips mobile, his neck well set on his powerful shoulders, and, in spite of his height of five feet nine inches, he had the hands and feet of a woman. These feet were the envy of his mistresses, whose shoes he was very rarely able to put on." He could crush you between his thighs: "His free colonial life had developed his strength and prowess to an extraordinary degree; he was a veritable American horse-lad, a cowboy. His skill with gun or pistol was the envy of St. Georges and Junot. And his muscular strength became a proverb in the army. More than once he amused himself in the riding-school by passing under a beam, and lifting his horse between his legs." He was so badass he could beat 13 men with 4 and take all the enemy prisoner, and defend against hundreds of men on a bridge by himself. He performed these acts of valour numerous times in Italy. He was so formidable that the Austrians named him the "Schwartz Teufel", or the Black Devil, and his feat at the bridge earned him the moniker of "Horatius Cocles of Tyrol". He wasn't afraid to stand up to his morals and protest against unfair treatment. When unjust executions by the guillotine were happening outside his quarters, he closed the blinds of his curtains, earning him the nickname "Mr. Humanity". When in the Vendée, he complained about the wanton indiscipline in his troops. When in Italy, Berthier wrongly reported his actions as one of "observation" in St. Antonio. Dumas wrote to General Bonaparte that if Berthier was in the same position, he would have shit his pants. Dumas abhorred plunder, never exhorted the locals, and ordered the Directory agent who had come to persuade him otherwise be shot if he dared present himself to Dumas again. Integrity and a sense of moral justice is sexy, mark my words. For Dumas' final qualifier as a sexyman, look no further than this Tumblr heritage post (https://www.tumblr.com/petermorwood/133803437020/hortensevanuppity-elodieunderglass), with 300,000 notes and counting. And I quote: "- daddy general dumas was an immense fierce french warrior who was a 6 foot plus, stunningly gorgeous and charismatic Black gentleman - he invaded egypt - the native egyptians said “is this napoleon? this must be napoleon. we for one welcome our majestic new overlord” - then napoleon showed up - napoleon has all the presence of yesterday’s plain Tesco hummus - the native egyptians were like “… no… no, we’ve thought very hard and we’ll have General Dumas actually” - this did not make napoleon happy - in fact it made him jealous - napoleon felt so emasculated that he launched a campaign of revenge against General Dumas, including taking away his pension, that probably inspired a lot of Alexandre’s rather satisfying scenes in which fathers are nobly avenged and the money-grubbing villains are rubbed in the mud" I rest my case. Tl;dr: He was so hot he inspired multiple books, he was a stronk man who could crush you between his thighs or carry you like a sack of potatoes, and he was so badass that he could take on odds of 1 to 3. He had a foul mouth but a heart of gold and his actions were never self-serving. Posts relating to him on Tumblr have had 300,000 notes and counting. He is qualitatively and quantitatively qualified to be a sexyman.”

Flowers & Mushrooms

Flowers and Mushrooms takes readers inside the rich and diverse symbolism of its eponymous subjects. Flowers have at times stood for freshness and fertility, transience and death. In addition to its ubiquitous and much-maligned image as a hallucinogen, the mushroom has throughout history signified health and life and served as an important symbol within religious ritual. In recent years though, flowers and mushrooms have become a focus in contemporary art, with artists manipulating the many clichés that surround them and adapting their representation to produce new and unexpected layers of meaning, from social criticism to feminism and the conceptual framework of the erotic. Among the leading plant portraitists are the Swiss duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss, whose series of forty photographs epitomize the potential to shed new light on familiar objects by presenting them in unusual context.

The exhibition at MdM Museum der Moderne - Salzburg presents works from Nobuyoshi Araki, Anna Atkins, Eliška Bartek, Christopher Beane, Karl Blossfeldt, Lou Bonin-Tchimoukoff, Balthasar Burkhard, Giovanni Gastel, Georgia Creimer, Imogen Cunningham, Nathalie Djurberg, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Peter Fischli/David Weiss, Sylvie Fleury, Seiichi Furuya, Ernst Haas, Carsten Höller, Judith Huemer, Dieter Huber, Rolf Koppel, August Kotzsch, David LaChapelle, Edwin Hale Lincoln, Chen Lingyang, Vera Lutter, Katharina Malli, Robert Mapplethorpe, Elfriede Mejchar, Moritz Meurer, Paloma Navares, Nam June Paik, Marc Quinn, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Zeger Reyers, Pipilotti Rist, August Sander, Gitte Schäfer, Shirana Shahbazi, Luzia Simons, Thomas Stimm, Robert von Stockert, William Henry Fox Talbot, Diana Thater, Stefan Waibel, Xiao Hui Wang, Andy Warhol, Alois Auer von Welsbach, Michael Wesely, Manfred Willmann, Andrew Zuckerman.

there are countries i've seen more than one movie from. as for my reasoning behind which film i choose to list, i don't have any. i just write down whatever comes to mind first.

i'm literally more than a hundred films away from completing this. i'll probably die without succeeding.

[fitundheil]

Wir werden alle vor den Richterstuhl Gottes gestellt werden. So wird nun jeder von uns für sich selbst Gott Rechenschaft geben. Römer 14,10.12

Am Ufer des Ganges stand der Indienmissionar John Thomas (1757-1801) und verkündigte einer Menschenmenge die gute Botschaft von Jesus Christus.

Da trat ein Brahmane, ein religiöser Führer, mit der Frage an ihn heran: „Haben Sie nicht soeben gesagt, dass es der Teufel ist, der die Menschen zum Sündigen verführt?“ Als Thomas bejahte, zog der Brahmane die Schlussfolgerung: „Dann liegt die Schuld beim Teufel. Dann muss der Teufel bestraft werden und nicht der Mensch.“ In den Mienen der Umstehenden konnte der Missionar erkennen, dass sie diesem Einwand zustimmten.

In diesem Augenblick sah Thomas ein Boot, das den Fluss heraufkam. Er fragte die Zuhörer: „Seht ihr das Boot dort? Nehmen wir einmal an, ich würde einige meiner Freunde mit dem Auftrag losschicken, alle Menschen im Boot zu töten und es mir zu bringen. Wer hat dann die Strafe verdient: ich als der Anstifter oder sie, die diese schreckliche Tat begangen haben?“ Ohne zu zögern, rief der Brahmane: „Ihr alle wärt des Todes schuldig!“

„Ja“, erwiderte Thomas, „und wenn ihr und der Teufel miteinander sündigt, dann werdet ihr auch miteinander verdammt werden.“

Wenn der Mensch einmal vor Gott treten muss, um Rechenschaft abzulegen, wird ihm also der Hinweis auf den Teufel nicht helfen. Es wird niemand gelingen, seine Schuld auf einen anderen abzuwälzen. Umso erstaunlicher ist der Ausweg, den Gott uns in seinem Sohn anbietet: Jesus Christus, der Unschuldige, ist aus freier Liebe für schuldige Menschen eingetreten und hat die Strafe auf sich genommen. Das kommt jedem zugute, der Ihn im Glauben annimmt.

Menschen sollten ihren Verstand benutzen

Glauben ist Privatsache

... und sollte es auch bleiben - deshalb lehnen wir "Staatsreligionen" grundsätzlich ab - auch in der Ukraine, wenn man dort einfach eine neue (orthodoxe) Religion aufmacht, nur weil das bisherige Oberhaupt in einem generischen Staat wohnt. Genauso sollten Gläubige auch akzeptieren, dass Anders- oder Nichtgläubige eine andere Meinung haben, da insbesondere der Glaube meist von der Erziehung und den eigenen Erfahrungen geprägt wurde.

Deshalb erstaunt uns, dass uns LeserInnen des Artikels vom 17.5. gleich unterstellen, dass wir Christen und Nazis gleichsetzen. Dabei haben wir lediglich auf die durch Rechte aus den USA gesteuerte Kampagne (nicht nur) zur EU-Wahl berichtet, die sich wenig von rechten Kampagnen auf Telegram und TikTok unterscheiden.

Ein starker Gott schützt die "Rechtgläubigen"?

Zumindest für die Rechtsgläubigen war es wichtig, dass in ihren Regimentern stets ein Militärpfarrer mitlief und die ungeheuren Verbrechen des Militärs zu rechtfertigen versuchte. Auch in der Bundeswehr wird diese Praxis weiter geübt. Vielleicht gibt es dort auch inzwischen muslimische Seelsorger, von atheistischen ist uns nicht bekannt.

Letzteres bringt uns wieder auf obigen Satz "von der Erziehung und den eigenen Erfahrungen geprägt" zurück und (ver)führt uns dazu aus der MIZ 4/23 den österreichischen Schriftstellers Karl Kraus.zu zitieren: "Ein Blitzableiter auf einem Kirchturm ist das denkbar stärkste Misstrauensvotum gegen den lieben Gott." Der dortige Artikel stellt in diesen Zusammenhang die Angst vor einem islamistischen Terroranschlag, die zu Weihnachten dazu geführt hat, dass im und vor dem Kölner Dom ein immenses Polizeiaufgebot anzutreffen war.

In der Menschheitsgeschichte war es ein zentraler Punkt für die Entstehung von Religionen, das alle meine(!) Gottheiten mich stets davor beschützen, dass jemand mir Übles antut. Im (meist tödlichen) Wettstreit der Religionen konnte es dann dazu kommen, dass Menschen den zuständigen Gott wechselten, weil sie die Stärke des Anderen höher einschätzten oder durch äußere Umstände (Inquisition) davon überzeugt wurden.

Aber spätestens seit der Aufklärung und der Entwicklung der Wissenschaften dürfte es zumindest in unserer Weltgegend niemanden mehr geben, der sein Schicksal in die Hand einer unsichtbaren Gottheit gibt. Das Gegenteil scheint jedoch der Fall zu sein, wenn man auf die Zunahme an Gläubigen, insbesondere bei evangelikalen Sekten in den USA, Mittel- und Südamerika schaut.

Die MIZ stellt dazu abschließend fest: "Manchmal möchte man sie nehmen und schütteln, bis endlich ihr Verstand richtig funktioniert. Diejenigen, die auf Teufel komm raus an ihrem Gott festhalten, obwohl sie ihm weniger zutrauen als Polizei und Blitzableitern - und noch mehr die Jungsteinzeitler mit den Sprengstoffgürteln."

Und wenn jetzt noch jemand kommt und uns der Schmähung des "gütigen Jesus" beschuldigt, dem empfehlen wir das Kindheitsevangelium nach Thomas im verlinkten Artikel, entstanden vermutlich Ende des 2. Jahrhunderts n. Chr., die von frühen Wundern des "Sohn Gottes" erzählen und ihn überraschend jähzornig und ungerecht zeigen.

Terravenger Season 6 - The Twilight Arc - Episode 519 (Do Not COPY) - 02.23.2024

During the year of 1958, the officer named Thomas Faust sat on a chair which was by the right side of his ailing wife as he had worn his gray uniform.

He told the right hand of Amber using both hands as a worried Thomas looked down at her as she laid in her bed at an old hospital.

The tired Amber informed her loving husband "The doctor says that there is nothing he can do for me. It is now in the hands of the Lord."

"There must be something they can do," implied Thomas in his German accent. "There must be a droge you have not tried."

The peaceful Amber laid her head on her pillow and told him "The doctor only said to make myself as comfortable as possible."

A few minutes later, the weakened Amber turned her head to the left side as her eyes slowly closed.

"Frauchen?" cried Thomas.

His hands remained on the right hand of his beloved wife until he heard a male voice reported "She has wavered."

Suddenly, Thomas turned his head and spotted someone standing before him.

This was a young man with light skin, a well-built body, and short brown hair slanting to his left side. And his right eye was colored blue while the left one was yellow. He wore a black-lined meshed shirt along with an outfit consisting of a white vest on the right side that had a long blue sleeve covering that arm. The other side was a camouflage coat which was worn by a soldier from the United States Army. He also had on a pair of baggy white pants with a thick black belt wrapped around the waist. And he wore a pair of long black combat-boots.

The man responded "The girl has finally passed on. Now it is only the dead that can judge her."

Thomas yelled "Wie kannst du es wagen?"

The grieving man completely turned around and cried "How dare you! You do not belong her, Fiemde! Leave us at once!"

"But it is the truth," The man informed him. "Your beloved has now joined the spirits in the Afterlife."

The distraught Thomas tried to attack using his Right Fist. But the stranger appeared behind him. He soon placed his left hand into Thomas's back as if it was a hologram.

Thomas yelled in pain "Was zum Teufel?"

A blue light shined from them until the mysterious man slowly took out his hand from his opponent's back.

Then a weakened Thomas fell to his knees as he cried "Was ist das?"

As Thomas laid his hands on the ground, the crafty stranger stood behind while he held a medium ball of blue light with his left hand.

The stranger asked "Perhaps you are a lot calmer now?"

The ailing Thomas asked "What did you do to me?"

"I have only taken a large amount of your ki," answered the man. "You are no longer able to move for a while."

The ball of light vanished from the man's hand as Thomas asked "Who are you?"

And the stranger introduced himself.

"You can call me Lua. I am one of those who serve Him -- the Bearer of Light."

Terravenger -- Season 6

Episode 519:  Thomas Leon Faust

"Der trager des Lichts?" questioned Thomas. "You say you serve He Who Brings Chaos to Those Deserving?"

"Indeed," answered Lua. "He has asked me to bring you to him."

Thomas slowly lowered his head and asked "And what does der trager des Lichts want with me?"

Lua gave a soft smile as he placed his right hand on his waist.

And he told the soldier "He only wishes to have a word with you."

"But for what reason?" cried Thomas. "I have nothing of value for him!"

"Maybe he has something..." implied Lua. "...that can help you to reunite with your beloved one. Something which can make her whole again."

"Was meinen Sie?" questioned Thomas. "You claim that He wants to reunite me with my love?"

"He may," implied Lua. "You never know. You may be able to feel the touch from your dear wife by the end of the night."

Thomas soon thought to himself as Lua claimed "Your wife is probably the only thing that brings value to your life."

The soldier continued to think as Lua asked "What do you have to lose once you hear what my master has to offer?"

The grieving husband finally lifted his head and responded "Sehr gut. I will do one last thing for Meine Frau."

Inside a dark room, the mysterious Lua presented the eager guest Thomas.

A deep male voice said "Thomas Leon Faust. It is time that you and I had met."

The soldier Thomas stared forward as the voice continued.

"Yes... I know who you are. I know everything about you. I also know that you would do anything to bring the person you loved back into this world."

"I was told..." Thomas implied. "...that you may have a way to return Meine Frau to the world of die Lebendon."

"I may, yes," The voice told him. "But at a high price, I may be able to bring Amber Faust back among the living."

"Then..." Thomas cried. "Are you able to release Meine Frau from the world of das Jenseits?"

"Yes," The voice answered. "However, there is but one price that must be paid. And you are the one that must pay... within my terms of course."

"Irgend was!" Thomas begged. "I will do anything! I will do anything if it helps Meine Frau!"

Then the voice told him "The price that must be paid is to serve me. You will serve me as one of my loyal disciples. Then when the time comes, I will release your wife from the Afterlife."

"Think of it," Lua told Thomas. "You will have power that is unlimited and a mystery to those with a one-tracked mind."

Thomas lowered his head and thought for a moment. After that, he lifted his head and faced the unseen being.

"Sehr gut!" Thomas answered. "I shall be with you. You will have my soul and my body for as long as you choose. I shall be one of deine Diener."

Suddenly, his clothing glowed a bright green light and changed.

After the light faded, Thomas had worn a black robe with long maroon sleeves and a white collar around his neck. He also had on a pair of black boots and black gloves. And a large clear gem was placed on the left side of his chest.

Thomas looked at his new outfit and the male voice replied "You shall do every bidding I ask. You shall perform every task with greatness. If you obey my terms, I shall bring your wife back from the Dead into the world of the Living."

And Thomas looked up at the being as his eyes changed from brown to a clear green.

Thomas finally gave out a wicked smile and said in an English accent "I shall be yours to command. Yours and yours alone..."

Something soon appeared at the left eye of the enslaved Thomas. It was a beastly figure with long white hair, a pointy beard and two large horns on the top of his head. And the being had shining green eyes with black pupils.

The being announced "I now appoint you -- Thomas Leon Faust -- as one of my faithful disciples. You will serve as my eyes and my ears as you return to the land of the living."

"Yes," said Thomas. "I shall make you proud, my master... My great lord... My bringer of light... Mephistopheles!"

A few weeks later, Thomas had followed the smiling Lua through a long hallway with lit candles held at the top of the walls.

Thomas now wore a sleeveless black shirt, baggy black pants with a thick black belt, and short black boots. And he had on an opened black coat that fell to his ankles.

The pair soon met with two more people who walked from the other side.

The person standing at the right side was the pleasant man called Goran. He appeared as a young man with fair skin and cold purple eyes. He had a well-built body and a strong face. And he had short dark-brown hair that was combed back. He had on a buttoned black shirt with a fine collar and a pair of long sleeves. He also wore a pair of black dress-pants, black socks, and brown dress-shoes. And he wore an opened black coat that lowered to his knees.

The other who was at the other side was a slender young woman with purple eyes, purple skin, and long dirty-blond hair that lowered from her shoulders. She wore a long-sleeved pale-brown shirt along with a pair of tight black pants and short black boots. And she didn't wear any type of makeup.

Goran stared at Lua with a playful smile and implied "Ah, if it isn't the Moon Hermit making his rounds."

He spotted the newcomer standing by Lua's left side and added "And it appears he has brought in a new soldier."

Lua shook his head and asked "How did you know this man came from the military?"

The calm Goran gave a short laugh and responded "I can tell by a certain scent they have. That, and you always bring in those from any sort of military background."

Then he asked the newcomer "What military tribe do you hail from?"

And Lua informed the gentleman "This is Thomas Leon Faust from the German military."

Thomas soon told the man "Lord Mephistopheles has christened me with the name Aker."

"Aker huh?" repeated Lua.

Goran shook his head with a soft smile and said "Lua, you remember my student."

Lua faced the quiet girl and answered "Indeed. The master calls her Alexia... Alexia Palatinate. She was rumored to come from somewhere deep in Space."

Alexia lowered her head as Thomas now named Aker shook his head.

During the year 1960, two men stood behind tell platforms and gave out their speeches in front of many citizens that remained outside of the large stage.

Standing behind the citizens was a slender young woman with peach skin, clear purple eyes, and long dirty-blond hair. She wore only a short white gown with long sleeves, white leggings, and black slippers.

The woman continued to watch for the campaign which was between two candidates for the presidential position for the United States.

An hour later, she walked toward an empty forest as her arms were folded in front of her.

She suddenly heard a calm male voice imply "You have transported yourself here?"

The woman quickly turned around and spotted another person walking toward her from a large purple cloud which faded away.

The person appeared as the former soldier from Germany called Aker. He had long dark hall with a full beard and mustache. And he had on black eyeliner. He wore a sleeveless black shirt with light-purple at the bottom. He had on tight black jeans with a thick black belt, long and fingerless light-purple gloves, and long black boots. He also had a necklace with a circular silver pendant which lowered from the center. And he wore an opened black coat that lowered to his ankles.

Aker wrapped his right arm around his front as his left backhand was on the bottom of his chin.

He soon gave a wicked smile and responded in an English accent "Why not you reveal yourself? There is no one here to see."

First, the worried woman waved her right hand over her face twice. The color of her skin had changed from peach to purple as the top of her ears grew longer.

"I finally found you," replied Aker. "You truly believe you can hide from our great lord? You may have cloaked yourself. You may have also transported to another year. But you should have known that our master would find you, Alexia Palatinate."

The woman now revealed as Alexia asked in a childish voice "So He has sent a lowly agent after me?"

Aker informed her "He had sent others to retrieve you. But I... I only decided to investigate further."

And Alexia said "I see."

Then Aker commented "You were not easy to find after all. I searched through every planet, and every system. Then I decided to look through every timeline until I finally found you. You made quite a home in the years when Dwight Eisenhower was the president of the United States."

"So?" asked Alexia. "What will you do? Capture me? Will you bring me back to his court?"

Aker leaned his head to the right side and claimed "You know, I have not decided what I would do if I were to see you again."

Alexia shook her head and questioned "You enjoy chasing after me, don't you?"

Aker gave a soft chuckle and implied "This is a pass time I suppose."

Alexia lowered her head and told him "We have known each other nearly three decades. And I have not known your true goal -- your endgame."

"Uh?" reacted Leo.

And Alexia implied "I have foresaw your future after we have spent time with one another the first time. I have seen you and two others confronting Him."

"Him?" asked the startled Aker.

"Your one and only master," answered Alexia.

After thinking for a few minutes, the wicked Aker spread his left arm out as his right wrist remained before him.

He soon took a gentle bow and told the woman "You can just call me Leo. Yes. Leo... Leo is my name. I am nothing but what you say."

He rose his head as he gave a sinister smile.

And Aker answered "I am a lowly servant that wishes to please his master."

„Der letzte Sessellift“ John Irving

„Der Tod ist nur eine Reise“ Moby Dick. "Der letzte Sessellift" ist das neuste Buch von John Irving, der ein Meister der Erzählkunst ist. Wer kennt nicht, „Garp oder wie er die Welt sah“, „Hotel New Hampshire“ und das für mich beste Buch: „Gottes Werk und Teufels Beitrag“. Seine bisher 14 Romane wurden Bestseller. Vier davon wurden erfolgreich verfilmt. Aber kann „Der letzte Sessellift“ daran anknüpfen? Worum geht es in „Der letzte Sessellift“? Im Focus stehen Liebe, Vertrauen und Toleranz in der Gesellschaft.  John Irving erzählt uns von Adam Brewster. Von seiner Mutter wurde vergöttert. Aber wer ist der Vater? Little Ray, Adams Mutter, schweigt dazu. Ein großer Teil des Buches, beschäftigt sich mit Adams Suche nach seinem Erzeuger. Die Brewsters sind eine bunte Familie. Die Großmutter liest ihm Moby Dick vor, weil sie glaubt, mithilfe dieses Buches, alle Fragen des Lebens beantworten zu können. „In der Erinnerung an die Winter meiner Kindheit und frühen Jugend war meine Großmutter meine Mutter. Nana, so nannte ich Mildred Brewster, war meine Winter-Mom. Sie war die hingebungsvollste Fürsprecherin meiner Mutter, und für eine Weile auch die einzige, wie mir schien.“ Seine Mutter Little Ray spielt neben Adam wohl die wichtigste Rolle. Sie verkörpert durch ihre unangepasstes Verhalten, nicht nur eine Art von Widerstand, sondern auch die Freiheit. Cousine Nora, seine Seelenverwandte hatte einen ganz besonderen Blick auf die Familie: „Ich war vierzehn, fast fünfzehn, als Nora Folgendes zu mir sagte. Man muss bedenken, dass Nora da bereits über zwanzig war. »Falls du noch nicht alt genug bist, um das zu verstehen, Adam, dann wirst du es bald sein«, sagte sie. »Die Probleme, die wir damit haben, Brewsters zu sein, haben alle mit Sex zu tun.“ Obwohl Elliott sich als Frau fühlt, übernimmt er die Rolle des Vaters für Adam. Die Onkeln und der Großvater spielen keine wirklich wichtige Rolle. Es sind die Frauen, die den Roman tragen. Entweder durch ihre Handlungen oder durch ihren Einfluss auf Adam. Die Leser:innen sehen die Welt durch Adams Augen. John Irving bedient bei der Auswahl der Personen viele konfliktbehaftete Themen. Transgender, Homosexualität, Homophobie, aber er zeigt auch Charaktere, die sich in keine Schublade einordnen lassen. Little Ray verkörpert in meinen Augen, die völlige Unangepasstheit. Die Bühne für Irvings Geschichten sind auch hier die Vereinigten Staaten und deren Geschichte. McCarthy, der Vietnamkrieg, die Aidskrise, bis heute. Besonders die Entwicklung der Gesellschaft und deren Auswirkungen bilden den Hintergrund. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNVEDiPZfB0 Das Hörbuch "Der letzte Sessellift" Das Hörbuch wird von Thomas Sarbacher gesprochen. Der Hörbuch-Download ist am 24. Mai 2023 erschienen und hat eine Dauer von 33 Std. 51 Min. Die erste Hälfte hörte ich sehr gerne, aber spätestens, wenn die Stelle mit den Drehbüchern kommt, wiederholt sich vieles und die Längen sind teilweise sehr anstrengend. Fazit / Kritik "Der letzte Sessellift" Nach 700 Seiten ging mir ein wenig die Luft aus. Die Gespenster waren nichts Neues mehr. Und die Drehbücher, der nicht gedrehten Filme, machten das Lesen nicht spannender.  Ich war drei Monate mit "Der letzte Sessellift“ beschäftigt, dann gab ich auf, obwohl das Ziel in Sicht war - das Ende. 300 Seiten weniger hätten meiner Ansicht nach, dem Buch nicht geschadet. Das finde ich eigentlich sehr schade, weil ich die Story skurril und durchaus lesenswert fand, nur eben nicht in dieser Länge und mit den eingearbeiteten Drehbüchern.

Display at "La Ferte Alais" airshow on 19 may 2013.. The Lockheed P-38 Lightning ( Flying Bulls ) was a World War II American fighter aircraft built by Lockheed. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a single, central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Named "fork-tailed devil" (der Gabelschwanz-Teufel) by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" (2飛行機、1パイロット Ni hikōki, ippairotto?) by the Japanese,[5] the P-38 was used in a number of roles, including dive bombing, level bombing, ground-attack, night fighting, photo-reconnaissance missions,[6] and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings. The P-38 was used most successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations as the mount of America's top aces, Richard Bong (40 victories) and Thomas McGuire (38 victories). In the South West Pacific theater, the P-38 was the primary long-range fighter of United States Army Air Forces until the appearance of large numbers of P-51D Mustangs toward the end of the war.[ The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was a carrier-capable fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought's manufacturing capability, resulting in production by Goodyear and Brewster: Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured by Vought,[1] in 16 separate models, in the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history (1942--1953).[2][3][4] The Corsair served in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines, Fleet Air Arm and the Royal New Zealand Air Force, as well as the French Navy Aéronavale and other, smaller, air forces until the 1960s. It quickly became the most capable carrier-based fighter-bomber of World War II. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II,[5] and the U.S. Navy counted an 11:1 kill ratio with the F4U Corsair.[6] As well as being an outstanding fighter, the Corsair proved to be an excellent fighter-bomber, serving almost exclusively in the latter role throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars

Thomas-Alexandre Dumas:

a. “mustache”

b. “Tall! Daring! Swashbuckling! A devoted husband and father! Had a personal conflict with Napoleon! Also it was said he could, while holding onto a bar above his head, LIFT A HORSE WITH HIS THIGHS. How is he not on this list ten times already! Vote for General Dumas!”

c. “He was so hot that he inspired The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and many more books that his son, Alexandre Dumas, wrote. He definitely looked the part of a sexyman, as he son recounts in his memoirs: "My father, as already stated, was twenty-four, and as handsome a young fellow as could be found anywhere. His complexion was dark, his eyes of a rich chestnut colour […]. His teeth were white, his lips mobile, his neck well set on his powerful shoulders, and, in spite of his height of five feet nine inches, he had the hands and feet of a woman. These feet were the envy of his mistresses, whose shoes he was very rarely able to put on." He could crush you between his thighs: "His free colonial life had developed his strength and prowess to an extraordinary degree; he was a veritable American horse-lad, a cowboy. His skill with gun or pistol was the envy of St. Georges and Junot. And his muscular strength became a proverb in the army. More than once he amused himself in the riding-school by passing under a beam, and lifting his horse between his legs." He was so badass he could beat 13 men with 4 and take all the enemy prisoner, and defend against hundreds of men on a bridge by himself. He performed these acts of valour numerous times in Italy. He was so formidable that the Austrians named him the "Schwartz Teufel", or the Black Devil, and his feat at the bridge earned him the moniker of "Horatius Cocles of Tyrol". He wasn't afraid to stand up to his morals and protest against unfair treatment. When unjust executions by the guillotine were happening outside his quarters, he closed the blinds of his curtains, earning him the nickname "Mr. Humanity". When in the Vendée, he complained about the wanton indiscipline in his troops. When in Italy, Berthier wrongly reported his actions as one of "observation" in St. Antonio. Dumas wrote to General Bonaparte that if Berthier was in the same position, he would have shit his pants. Dumas abhorred plunder, never exhorted the locals, and ordered the Directory agent who had come to persuade him otherwise be shot if he dared present himself to Dumas again. Integrity and a sense of moral justice is sexy, mark my words. For Dumas' final qualifier as a sexyman, look no further than this Tumblr heritage post (https://www.tumblr.com/petermorwood/133803437020/hortensevanuppity-elodieunderglass), with 300,000 notes and counting. And I quote: "- daddy general dumas was an immense fierce french warrior who was a 6 foot plus, stunningly gorgeous and charismatic Black gentleman - he invaded egypt - the native egyptians said “is this napoleon? this must be napoleon. we for one welcome our majestic new overlord” - then napoleon showed up - napoleon has all the presence of yesterday’s plain Tesco hummus - the native egyptians were like “… no… no, we’ve thought very hard and we’ll have General Dumas actually” - this did not make napoleon happy - in fact it made him jealous - napoleon felt so emasculated that he launched a campaign of revenge against General Dumas, including taking away his pension, that probably inspired a lot of Alexandre’s rather satisfying scenes in which fathers are nobly avenged and the money-grubbing villains are rubbed in the mud" I rest my case. Tl;dr: He was so hot he inspired multiple books, he was a stronk man who could crush you between his thighs or carry you like a sack of potatoes, and he was so badass that he could take on odds of 1 to 3. He had a foul mouth but a heart of gold and his actions were never self-serving. Posts relating to him on Tumblr have had 300,000 notes and counting. He is qualitatively and quantitatively qualified to be a sexyman.”

Zofia Czartoryska-Zamoyska:

a. „MY GIRLIEEEE… I love her more than anything, and I'm very sorry for how her relationship with her husband turned out (he was not abusive, perhaps, and treated her with some sort of basic respect, but he had a rough childhood and became emotionally neglectful, both towards her and the children. He did care for her, however it showed much more after she died and he was alone then when she was alive and well). She was actually considered one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful woman in the Warsaw Duchy, and was literally worshipped by her descendants. Her portrait even made an appearance as the male lead's unhappy grandmother in "Trędowata" (well, the book the movie was based on is not exactly wonderful literature, but the movie itself is quite well-known), and I can absolutely see why. She had such beautiful eyes. Also, she was a philanthropist and helped organise one of the first concerts of Fryderyk Chopin when he was a child to raise money.”

Edgar Allan Poe Annabel Lee

Es war einst vor vielen und vielen Jahren Ein Königreich zur See, Ein Mädchen dort lebte, das ihr wohl kennt; Es hieß Annabel Lee; Sie lebte, um liebend geliebt zu sein; Daran nur dachte sie.

Und ich war ein Kind und sie war ein Kind, Im Königreich zur See, Wir liebten mit Liebe, die mehr war als Liebe — Ich und Annabel Lee — Es waren die Schwingen der Seraphim Neidisch auf mich und sie.

Und dies war der Grund, dass vor langer Zeit Im Königreich zur See Ein frostiger Wind aus den Wolken blies Auf meine Annabel Lee; So dass ihre hohe Verwandtschaft kam Und trug fort von mir sie, Um tief in ein Grabmal zu legen sie Im Königreich zur See.

Die Engel, im Himmel nicht halb so verzückt, Beneideten mich und sie — Ja! — das war der Grund (wie jeder es weiß In dem Königreich zur See), Dass der Wind eines Nachts aus den Wolken kam, Und tötete Annabel Lee.

Unsre Liebe war stärker bei Weitem als die Jener, die älter waren als wir — Jener, die weiser waren als wir — Noch die Engel im Himmel hoch droben, Noch die Teufel tief unter der See Können je meine Seele von der Seele trennen Von dir, schöne Annabel Lee;

Stets, wenn der Mond scheint, bin im Traum ich vereint Mit dir, schöne Annabel Lee; Die Sterne im Dunkeln wie dein Auge funkeln, Oh du, schöne Annabel Lee; Bei nächtlicher Flut ruhe ich bei dir gut Mein Liebling — mein Liebling, mein Leben und Braut, In dem Grabmal dort unten zur See — In dem Grab bei der rauschenden See.

[wien1983]

Freitag, 28.10.1983

Um acht Uhr aufgewacht, weil die Hausfrau Strom zahlen musste, 3500 Schilling! Sie regte sich natürlich auf. Habe von der Zörner geträumt, die war einmal neben mir auf der Toilette, ich hörte ihren kräftigen, zornigen Wasserstrahl. Sie hielte eine Vorlesung oder ein Seminar ab und ignorierte mich. Ich ging danach nicht aus dem Raum, räumte herum und wischte die Tische ab, spritzte sie an, aber sie beachtete mich nicht. Ich spürte nur, dass sie bald explodieren würde. Da war noch eine Frau, mit der hat sie sich unterhalten. Aber leider konnte ich nicht weiterträumen, weil mich die Stimmen aufgeweckt haben. Vorher habe ich geträumt, dass ich alleine eine sehr große Wohnung hätte. Viele Leute sind zu mir gekommen, um Bücher auszuleihen und Schallplatten zu hören usw. Später war es auch so, in der Kübeckgasse, nachdem die WG sich aufgelöst hatte. Wollte ein paar Leuten THROBBING GRISTLE vorspielen, aber die wollten sie nicht hören. Ich spielte ihnen aber auch nichts anderes vor, weil sie mitten in der Nacht gekommen waren.

Frühstück, zur Untergrundbahn, der Zug hat schon wieder so laut gepfiffen, Universität, Vorlesung von Kanduth. Diese Frau macht mich fertig, spricht alle Artikel falsch aus, leiert etwas herunter, spricht so abgehackt, unerträglich. Danach lud ich Maria Pober zum Kaffee ein. Wir sprachen über Dandys, Nitsch, sie hat zwei Freunde, die bei einer Nitsch-Aktion mitgearbeitet haben und sie hat zugeschaut. Plötzlich saß mir ein Mensch gegenüber, der war so schön, so wunderschön, so einen schönen Menschen hatte ich mein ganzes Leben noch nie gesehen. Ich beachtete ihn nicht, weil ich glaubte, er sei zu schön. Aber als ich mich erhob, lächelte er mich irgendwie an, subtil, er beobachtete mich, ich spürte es, musste auf Maria warten, ging noch einmal zurück und sah ihn an. Er lächelte mir zu. Oh, mein Herz blieb stehen. Wer war das? Sasha Milenkovic oder Marc Thomas Merz? Ich wurde ganz nervös, wusste nicht mehr, was tun, ging schnell weg, zur Vorlesung auf der Theaterwissenschaft. Hörte hinten nichts, weil ich zu spät gekommen war, wollte sein Gesicht aufzeichnen, aber konnte mich an überhaupt nichts mehr erinnern. Nur das Gesamtbild, verschwommen. Mephisto. Nikolussi? Nein. Ist es der, der mich beim HOMUNCULUS gestreichelt hat? Nein, ich kenne ihn, bin mir ganz sicher. Wenn nicht von jetzt, dann aus einem anderen Leben. Habe mir auch überlegt, ob er nicht der Teufel ist. Wie kann ich ihn wiederfinden? Wünsche dir nichts, denn deine Wünsche könnten in Erfüllung gehen!

Nach der Vorlesung fuhr ich zum Schwedenplatz einkaufen, sah den Freund von Angelika und noch einen Innsbrucker, einen von den Eingebildeten, mit seiner Freundin. Auf diesem Platz habe ich scho UDO TITZ gesehen, bald kommt auch sein Freund Claudius! Es kann nicht mehr lange dauern, es scheint so, als ob jetzt alle hier wären. Nach Hause mit der U4, gekocht, Bohnen und Fischstäbchen, die wären fast verbrannt, ein Butterbrot. Im Postkasten war nichts. Botho Strauß gelesen, die WIDMUNG, genau meine Situation. Ich weiß nicht, wo mein Geliebter ist. Weiß nicht, warum er nicht wiederkommt. Aber da beginnt schon alles, kompliziert zu werden.

Zur Schlickgasse, ins Proseminar vom Bandhauer, die Qualität von Sprache. Er kommt nie zu den faszinierenden, linguistischen Kenntnissen, die er uns versprochen hat, auf die ich hoffe. Maria war nicht da. Musste manchmal lachen, weil ich an Schifko dachte, seine Vorführung von: Which dog did you see? The.

Nach Hause gefahren, Bircher Müsli, den Ofen eingeschaltet, gebadet. Mama hat angerufen, Karin sei krank, könne nicht kommen, erst am Sonntag. Habe noch das Geschirr gewaschen, das Waschbecken und den Herd geputzt, jetzt glänzt es wie das Alte in Innsbruck. Ins Bett. Habe mir ein Drama ausgedacht, konnte mir alles bildlich vorstellen beziehungsweise die Vorstellung war da und die Sprache kam dazu. Es geht um eine Jungfrau, die dem Gott Zeus geopfert werden muss. Sie wird nackt ausgezogen und bemalt von den anderen Frauen, mit wunderschönen Farben, Gold, Rot und Schwarz. Ich bin die Jungfrau in meiner Vorstellung, Claudius kommt zu mir als Zeus. Ich krümme und winde mich, die Wörter sind fast dieselben, nein ganz und gar die, die er sprach, als ich mit ihm schlief. Bin darüber eingeschlafen, habe geträumt, in der Früh Bin mit meinem grünen Waffenrad unterwegs, denke mir, dass ich mich bei Mama hätte bedanken sollen, gestern am Telefon, so spielt die Realität herein, Tagesreste, aber es ist aussichtslos, kein einziges Auto lässt mich in die Reihe, ich habe Angst, zerquetscht zu werden. Sie pfeifen vorbei, ohne mich zu beachten.
