Went out ,stayed in

Semester Opening Party at "Das Schiff"
Originally uploaded by Stürmifüdle.

Party time again! The official opening party was not only slightly late, but also sold out (about 900 people) as the venue is a ship in the rhine, anchored just opposite the border to Germany, while on the other side of the rhine France can be seen. International, baby!
Not long before, on wednesday, the students union put up a bar crawl for the freshmen, and quite surprisingly, about 25 came. Normally media students from Basel are quite lazy and not very out-going, so I guess we were lucky, especially as it was a weekday. See all pictures here.

As I was quite hammered the day after, I didn't went to Mr. Martinsons critically acclaimed presentation of his trips to Pakistan and Iran and all along the silk road. The images are really interesting, check them on his flickr page.



Finally, I had to realize that my itunes is a softie. I had it running along my cleaning duties, and look what it put together on random setting:

Al Jarreau – Agua de Beber 12 Nov 2006, 11:46
Robbie Williams – Let Me Entertain You 12 Nov 2006, 11:40
Carla Bruni – Le Plus Beau de Quartier
Jack Johnson – Sharing Song 12 Nov 2006, 11:33
Foo Fighters – What If I Do 12 Nov 2006, 11:28
The Cranberries – I Can't Be With You 12 Nov 2006, 11:25
OutKast – Mighty O 12 Nov 2006, 11:21
Heather Nova – All I Need 12 Nov 2006, 11:17
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Death Of A Martian

I mean, please! Out of the 6000ish songs I have it could have mixed something more upbeat, rockish, whatever. But it decided for the calm, poppy, airwave common-sense style. Your such a bore, itunes. Stop it.

On a -final- sidenote: Anyone getting much more spam on gmx (the mail provider) lately? I think they switched off their super-spam-filter in order to convince people to switch to their premium, payable service. Not nice, not nice.
