I think I met the devil today.

I was getting my blood drawn, and I told the nurse that I have a phobia of blood. She even wrote it down because my pulse was at 114 when she measured it. THEN while she's all up in my veins, she tells me to take the tourniquet off... huh. I didn't even understand her at first cause I didn't know the german word for it (Stauband).
She proceeds to watch me struggle with it for like 1 minute, until she tells me where I have to press, mind you, I'm doing this while squinting so I don't see the blood.
She's lucky that I'm God's strongest soldier cause someone else in my position might've passed out or have a panic attack or both.
It's just so absurd, I can't stop awkwardly laughing when I tell people about it.
Honestly, I feel so violated with her playing some sadistic game with me. Theres no way she didn't do this on purpose. I feel like I need to go to some anonymous support group about this.
Looking forward to next time, I hope I get a different nurse. If she does something like that again I'll tell my doctor about it.

So, I wanted to get a buzzcut again (had one in 2021 and 2022(?); I think). And of course, because it would be fun (and it was) I did it on my own at 1am.
So... I took off the hair clippers guard to clean it. When I put it back on I forgot to set it back to 9 or maybe 7 and I just, confidently, went straight through the front middle of my scalp, while the guard was set to 1. I'm not someone who's emotionally attached to their hair but now I'll wear a hat 24/7 for atleast a week to not make my dear mother cry. So, the plan in two weeks is to bleach and dye it a natural middle blond color and when it grows out I'll have frosted tips.
This is fine. Just a new experience in this stupid life. My hair grows fast, I'm sure... #noregrets

Dude I met at work on tuesday; studies to become a teacher, but shamelessly confesses that he uses ChatGPT for all his homework. The kids are DOOMED.

Anyway, going to see 28 years later at the cinema today.

I have officially become an actor. Playing an extra in a Techno-Club. I felt a little out of place since I've never been in a club before and look like a 14 year old.
Also we danced without music most of the time. I don't like going to clubs, I don't like dancing BUT 100€ is 100€. My phone's pedometer says I danced 5km worth of steps. I signed an NDA, though none of you probably watch this show. Anyway, tune into ZDF - Notruf Hafenkante sometime next year. Episode 500, I've been told.
Now back to being unemployed.

RIP David Lynch :(
Weird coincidence with my last blog post being Eraserhead related.
Also happy new year and stuff, nothing interesting been happening in my life. Was a little busy with school stuff too.

HALLOWEEN!
Had a little Halloween party with some friends. I'm not gonna name names but two people showed up without costumes and I will hold a grudge for some time.
I'm proud to present to you;
My Eraserhead Baby. Life-sized ca. 50cm. Newspaper and aluminum foil filled; head shaped round with a hammer, hot glued, googly-eyed, wrapped in expired bandages. I dressed as the guy in the movie, though my hair wouldn't stay up since it was extremely windy that day.

School started last Thursday!
For illustration class we'll be making a comic/graphic novel (4 weeks). We'll get to present it to a real publisher but that's just more of a practice interview, nobody will actually get published, probably.
Since my creative writing skills are
non-existent; I've decided to do a literary adaptation of Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.
Haven't finished reading Act 2 yet so please don't leave spoilers in my Guestbook.

Today I went outside to send a letter. Across the street from the post office there was a band of trumpet(or some similiar instrument) players. As they say curiousity killed the cat. I'm still alive since I didn't go to ask what was up. Because there's a community centre nearby I assume they're hosting some kind of event.
The music kinda freaked me out. Something I would love to have at my jazz-themed funeral.

I'd like to share the story of what inspired me to start my own blog.
My cousin, his girlfriend and I were talking, about what I'm not sure, probably something real philosophical.
Does aluminum foil have an expiration date?...funny question, right?
I type it into Google expecting someone on Quora or Reddit to reassure me that aluminum foil, in fact, does not have an expiration date. Or does it?
I find a german blog post.
This guy wrote e-mails to five different stores claiming that he bought expired aluminum foil to see how they react. I've never been the type of person that reads blogs before but this guy really fascinated me.
And now sometimes I ask myself; What would Matt Wagner do? (the blogger, not the American comic artist and writer).
If you understand german (or just look at it and pretend you do) I highly recommend checking it out.
