9pm and not that further for now. Voice wearing thin, raspy, harsh. Some achievements unlocked, others ignored. Making the best of fragmented days, trying to be satisfied with all the small bits that have fallen into place and bearing with those that still need to be sorted or split up. Later. Halfway through the week and the pub seems to take this as sufficient enough to celebrate the evening. Bottles opened in the backyard, wind playing with snippets of music, random people entering and leaving, door opening, closing in loose sequence. (Time tracked. Tasklists updated. Books closed. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.)

Way beyond dusk again. Somehow beyond tired, again or still, even though not in a bad way. Another brief glimpse at the ongoing night and the spots of light of backyards and streets. A deep breath in icy wind, and a short focus on ones own center before letting thoughts drift off for a while. All the stories, all the dreams. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

Very much later, same as tired. Slightly different rituals, similar flows, texts and snippets and thoughts and a pile of unrelated pictures merging into one. This part of the city in an odd state, somewhere in between early week business and early year laziness, nightlights behind most windows and ornaments still swinging on the balconies. A food messenger, a late bus, a few lonely smartphones leading their owners through the current dark. Slowing down. Settling. Breathing. Many poor tools to tackle the inner noise. Sleep well everyone wherever you are.

Nachmittagsschlaf. Vorabendwach. Im Treppenhaus lachen die Kinder. Irgendwo spricht eine Nachrichtenstimme Nachrichten zwischen dem Weiten und dem Nahen. Spätweihnachtslichter und Werbung in den eigenen Postfächern. Signal und Rauschen.

Day fading. Frost remained, darkness and fog keeping the hills covered, hiding the stars and muffling most sounds. Breathing the cold, these few moments in the opened backdoor a strange habit that becomes more challenging in certain weather conditions. Here again, distant cities, im between both days and years. Stories of tenses, past and future, and various kinds of dreams. Have a soft night wherever you are.

9 December 2025 at 16:04

Nachmittagsmüdigkeit und Kommunikationsbrüche und unklare Verantwortlichkeiten und widersprüchliche Prioritäten und irgendwie kurz vor der Dämmerung doch noch etwas Sonne, genug, um die Wolken des westlichen Himmels in Pastelltöne zu kleiden, bevor das Firmament wieder dunkler wird. Große Transfers, Fernverkehrsleitungen, kalter Kaffee, kalte Hände und selbst der kurze bisherige Winter scheint sich schon in den Mauern festgesetzt zu haben. Schon wieder 4, unsicher, wo der Dienstag blieb.

Closing in on 4pm and running out of ideas. The joys of parallel processing, the issues of synchronizing whatever outcome it might come up with, and the compensation of all those effects that are very much unintended. Maybe it takes a few steps back to see the bigger map. Maybe not.

Disconnected systems, engines running idle, waiting to be in sync again. Complexities, dependencies, outages and side effects. 3pm and on. Taking notes, stepping back, letting things settle. And watching afternoon float on.

15 November 2025 at 15:22

Indecisive weather, wet sidewalks and navigating through crowds one doesn't feel like meeting now. A different supermarket, a cart full of empty bottles, dusty and dirty with the remains of another long summer. 3pm and on: Cleaned up. Harvested brussels sprouts. Feeling content and grateful with the late weeks of the year.

Wasser in den Haaren, auf der Haut. Kunstregen, zu heiß, zu kalt, zu nass und unerwartet störend. Mehrere schwer beschriebene Momente verstreichen, bis vorsichtige Entspannung einsetzt. Watte zwischen Sinnen und Umwelt. Immer noch Navigation entlang des Planes. Das Viertel hinter den Wänden schweigt.

A lot later. Sunday evening mood, with a new week knocking already. Random visuals random sounds. Vapour music. The neighbours still having dinner and apparently have been so for hours, with the candles almost burnt down now. No wind even with windows opened wide. Night is hesitant today and so are dreams, it seems. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

7 November 2025 at 14:55

Agents, algorithms, event queues and the boundaries of systems, whichever kind. Staring into wirings, trying to make sense of why things are put together just like this. Somewhere in between analytics and archaeology, and some crucial component always is severely outdated. Closing in on 3pm. Nervous and tense.

6 November 2025 at 17:48

Pausenzeichen nach langen Stunden. Abendverkehr, Scheinwerfer unten in den Häuserschluchten. Beobachter mit Abstand, erstaunt über die Bilder, die das Büroviertel dem fliehenden Tag offenbart. Überreizt und benommen. Unordnung auf dem Schreibtisch, Unordnung im Postfach, neue und alte offene Enden und von allem viel mehr, als sich im Heute noch sinnvoll greifen lässt. Weiter auf kaltem Beton. Quer durch die Stadt, noch nicht angekommen, noch nicht zufrieden mit dem Stand der Dinge.

Ending another day, welcoming another night. Conversations off the known tracks. Rabbit holes of different archives, including digital history, suddenly digging through images and words compiled ages ago, by oneself and others, and trying to figure out whether memories that seem tied to them are ones own. Chapters and paragraphs of irrelevance, but strangely drawn to it by its very aesthetics. Resuming old projects, still just to notice they don't resonate anymore. Looking back, dreaming forth. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.

27 October 2025 at 18:14

Wie die Wege verschwinden auch die Beete immer mehr im braunen Gelb des Herbstes, und der Vorabend nimmt selbst diese Tönungen mit sich. Fuchs und Waschbär dokumentiert, Vögel gefüttert, Rumtopf verlagert. Die Wasserleitung ruht, die meisten Parzellen auch. Ein weiteres Gartenjahr setzt sich zur Ruhe. Die Seele muss noch aufholen.

Küchenstimmung am Sonntagabend: Fingerzeichnungen auf beschlagenem Glas. Nudeln, Kräutertee. Offene Tickets als tatsächliches und mentales Konstrukt. Innere Gespräche, die so wohl nie stattfinden werden, aber sie könnten. Und der peinliche Moment, in dem einem die Erwiderungen auf antizipierte Standpunkte ausgehen. Radio schweigt.

21 October 2025 at 21:46

The late hours, finally. Network flaws, firewalls and lost links. Responding to messages that might want to wait until tomorrow but somehow not willing to have this on the early morning list. Noticing the gradual change of the colours and structures of lights on the neighbours balconies, different shadows of a new crowd in familiar appartments, and a cat sleeping on a windowsill, not paying attention to anything. It's all about strategies. Have a calm night everyone wherever you are.

20 October 2025 at 18:13

Wieder draußen, im Zwielicht. Kälte und Wärme und belegte Brote und kleine, fast unsichtbare Wolken am endlos weiten, stillen Himmel. Einige Gärten weiter lacht man laut und rauh, ein Güterzug dröhnt westwärts, man stellt erstaunt fest, die Flugrouten besser im Blick zu haben als das Leben auf der Schiene. Kapuzenstimmung. Auch aufgrund des Wetters. Eine halb geleerte Flasche. Warten.

18 October 2025 at 22:17

The city the evening the piano and a few chords. TV stations to fill some of the appartements across, a continuum of textures and shades to carry distant worlds into narrow spaces. Moist yet cold air, a sensation of winter, and the chatter of teenagers that roam the bus stop. Every single breath a very own story of a very own night. Sleep tight everyone wherever you are.
