Dr Murks dances winter into spring

Last Thursday. The weather was great - big heavy snowflakes fell down from the sky. Dr Murks was walking to the salsa training and was looking soon looking like a snowman. So were all the other people on the streets: Smiling happily, carrying coal- eyes, -buttons, billycan-hats and carrots instead of nose. What a beautiful crowd!
Dr Murks went to dance. First to salsa-training and then to a dance-party organized by Old-Fat-Geographers. The party was great! The party was good! The party was super! Dr Murks did not drink a bit of alcohol due to the bet still valid till the end of January. But it was even better. You do all the crazy dancing and talking as you would do when you are drunk but you see it all clearly, remember it clearly and does not have an hangover in the morning :).
But when.. but when... But when Dr Murks was finally going home the snow was melted, the snowmen were melted. Streets were empty and wet. The spring was again winning the fight with the winter. And it supposed to be January.... Bad, bad, bad El Nino!

Dr Murks is making tadelakt

The year has started. Time for new beginnings, new challenges. Normally Dr Murks does not take 1st of January as a new start but this year many new plans are pumping up since the year started. What are these...
A January without an alcohol. This is a 1st of January bet with Mr Lukk. Knowingly, why this date :). Almost half a time has gone already, not too bad time. Two discoveries - alco-free beer tastes like a water from boiled mushrooms (wak!) and without an alco it is harder to stay up till the morning at the party :).
A promise to visit Germany during the year... Somehow the country seems so far at the moment, but the time will come to go there.
To take a cat. This is really a new-year-foretell by Mdm Kusta. But it is not as easy as it seems - a cat needs a home and a home needs a family. Will see :).
Learning some "tacit knowledge". This is really only a sightly related to a new year because the handy-skills are always interesting to get to know. But as a possibilities have taken place just now. Dr Murks is learning how to make tadelakt. And not just a small pot or a exercise-wall but really a real, usable bathroom for somebody who should be crazy in letting Dr Murks and Mdm Tea practicing something they both to not know much about. At least Mdm Tea has a little more knowledge... At least it seems :).
And all the other plans, ideas that maybe newer come true. Will see, at least the year will be interesting. Maybe.

Dr Murks is an horisontal organiser

Dr Murks went to a bar with an old friend he had not seen since 1.5 years. A geologist Mr Puura who is just the most positive research fellow Dr Murks knows. Mr Puura is this round and happy person you can talk-talk-talk about anything and about everything. During the conversation Dr Murks and Mr Puura found out their common habits. Both are "horisontal organisers" and also taking up "structural procrastination".
Easy, isn't it?

Dr Murks in trouble with the time

Everything takes time.
Everything takes too much time.
Thinking takes time - but if you never think it does not take time?
Talking takes time - but if you never talk it does not take time?
Writing takes time - but if you never write it does not take time?
Deciding takes time - but if you never decide it does not take time?
Crying takes time - but if you never cry it does not take time?
Laughing takes time - but if you never laugh it does not take time?
Cleaning takes time - but if you never clean it does not take time?
Living takes time - but if you never live it does not take time?
Finishing takes time - but if you never finish it does not take time?
Who knows?

Dr Murks is smoking

Not. Dr Murks is not smoking. It is just the cold weather that makes smoke-clouds when you breath out. It feels like smoking only when it is warm. when Dr murks was once in Spain it felt often like smoking It is just that everybody was smoking and the smell of cigarettes was attempting. But still, Dr Murks did not smoke even there, only once some "happy people". And cigars. This is something different. Cigars and pipes. Only with good company when the mood is suitable.

Dr Murks is listening voices

A music box is playing in the corner. The headphones are on. Mr Seal is calling from the kitchen.
One plays music: "que te caliente el sol"
One plays interviews made in autumn. Dr Murks does not recognize his own voice. It seems that was the sister of Dr Murks who made the talking - sounds so different from the voice Dr Murks normally has in his head. The situations are coming back in mind and Dr Murks is silently laughing at the jokes on tape and smiling to the people who made these days.
One calls from the kitchen: "Murks, would you care for boiled, fried or baked fish?"
