ATG Winter Run

That´s me playing my air guitar at the ATG Winter run here in Aachen last weekend. I finished the 18km run through the beautiful woodlands surrounding Aachen in 1:48, and I wasn´t even that tired. I was even 10 minutes faster than I had expected.

For this year I have fulfilled my running goals, and then some: I ran a half-marathon in September, and now finished this run in a respectable time. I have never been this fit in all my life.

Maybe run a marathon next year? Just daydreaming ...

The only funny thing about "The Simpsons" movie

This hillarious picture in a new German magazine called "View" inspired me to watch the DVD "The Simpsons." It shows Homer next to an ancient symbol for fertility high in the Scottish mountains.

Located on a hill near the village of Cerne Abbas, north of Dorchester, England, the guy on the right, measuring 55 metres in height, was carved into the lime stone centuries ago as a sacred pagan symbol for fertility.

The guy on the left holding a Donut is also somewhat of a symbol for fertility, but one of our modern times. He was drawn with white paint onto the grass as a publicity stunt for the movie "The Simpsons."

So I watched the movie and it sucked. The ad doesn´t do the movie justice, beacuse the movie is terribly boring. Don´t watch it! Just laugh at the ad.
