Haus am Rieth

Repairman

Tonight my niece, Avital, got married in Israel.
I missed both the wedding party and Thanksgiving, which I usually celebrate with friends in New York. Avital got married to a repairman. My sister has a knack for downward mobility.
On the left you see my bed in Nettetal. I was tempted to give my bed here a 6. The mattress is rather soft, I assume too many heavy men slept on it. But the hotel is so romantic that I decided to upgrade my bed to a 7.

This one does't look scary at all. It looks very friendly and familiar.
Is it a deliberate choice to sleep in single beds?
Ivo
See the entry of November 27 titled Feldmann.

On the risk of being ripped apart by this blog posse, I am turning to you for help. I live in New York, and I'm looking for job. I would like to own my bookstore one day, trying to find out the stepping stones. Help me, and I will prevent bookburnings.
David R
Could you tell me a little bit about yourself?
Where did you celebrate Thanksgiving?
To avoid misunderstandings I don't own a bookstore, neither in NY nor anywhere else in the world.
Arnon
And the fur coat, is there a story?
David
The fur coat? Did I mention a fur coat?
The fur coat is on your bed in the picture. The sister that you do mention, is that supposed the niece that got married?
Arnon
On the photo, left side.
David
Oh that fur, that's my winter coat.

I do hope you know the difference between a niece and a sister.
Downward mobility? Seems to me that repairmen are among the professions with the highest level of job security in today's economy. And their work can not be outsourced to India. So I would say: smart move... And besides: how educated and accomplished can the bride possibly be herself, at this tender age?
Dear David R.
Do you expect any bookburnings in the near future?
Why would you like to prevent bookburnings?

yours,

Eric
Eva
I will tell my sister the good news.
Eric
I still want to awnser your music questions.
Arnon
Is it real?
Dear D.M. Pefko,
Please do.

Eric
Pefko
Hamster. As far as I know real hamster.
Arnon
did you count the amount of hamsters that you are wearing? Did the brand of hamster furs did you give anny information?
David
We are speaking here about hamsters from New Zealand. That's all I know.
I assume that at least fifty hamsters are keeping me warm. And that scince 2000. This coat, actually it is more a jacket, if a leftover from my first Ako Prize.
Are you interested in buying my jacket? Are you fantasizing about my jacket? Or are you just fantasizing about me?
Arnon
I don't know the size Arnon, is it tailor made?
Do you want me to fanasise about you? because i'm not yet doing that, do you have that feeling?
Arnon
And an other question before i place a bid:

Does the coat make noice at night? do you hear at least 50 liitle hamsters screeming or are they just talkning about your succes?

Do you need money Arnon?
David
My darling, the hamsters sing Abba-songs.
Arnon
I was afraid so, i already had the strong feeling those hamsters have a bad taste.
Are you flirting with me Arnon?
D.M. Pefko,
Do you want to answer my question about the pieces of Nono & Ligeti you like, or do you want to talk about hamsters......

Eric
Eric
because you are so kind to all the comentators here (with your 'Dear' )

I like Luigi Nono for a long time; especially: Il canto sospeso, the opera Prometeo and the ommagio for G. Kurtag, but above all: Fragmente, stille.

Than Ligeti; the string quartets, Lux Aeterna ( There is a very nice Harmonia mundi realese now) the altoviolinsonata and the concert for srtings and violin, atmospheres for the orchestra. The piano pieces he wrote i don’t like so much.
Eric
Can you ask Arnon the price for this coat?
Pefko,
No.

E.
Dear D.M. Pfefko,
Is there something wrong with my 'Dear'?
Should I be *more* kind?
Please advise me if you feel like.

Why don't you like Ligeti's piano pieces?
And which String-quartet do you like better no. 1 or 2?

yours,

Eric
Eric
Dear Eric,

No, the using of 'dear' is very nice Eric, but you stand alone in using it, thats all.

String qt number 1.

what kind of music you like Eric?
Dear David Manos Pefko,
No what?

About my musical preferences,
please see : 16 september - Flu page 2 entry: 02/10/2008 22:15

yours,

Eric
my Dear Eric Wander
what does the 'no' mean?
DMP
'No' means 'Nee'.

E.
Eric
I know, but you said no for what?

Are you in a bad mood or a sad mood?
Dear DMP,

Here we go:

Eric
Can you ask Arnon the price for this coat?
***said David Manos Pefko 30/11/2008 22:42 •****

Pefko,
No.
E.
***said Eric Wander 01/12/2008 22:51 •***

And to your last question: No.

With warm greetings,

Eric
My dear Eric,
First off all: my warm greetings to you.
Second: i din't get it because i didn't suspected this very hard 'NO' from a man like you, who welcomes people with 'my dear' and gives warm greetings like no other.
Eric
You sound a little depressed..
