Blonde Muddis (1994)

April 29, 2009

I’ve discovered this highly embarrassing gem from my dubious German past the other day:

In this sketch from 1994, my colleague Andre Grossman and I put on this production of a highly working class couple. I’m playing the mad mother, he’s my drunk husband.
We used to be fans of Schmidteinander, a cult comedy show on German [...]

Today’s Breakfast in Slow Motion

April 27, 2009

Julia and I were out shopping yesterday, and discovered this tiny new Casio Exilim camera that does slow motion video recordings. Looking at this, I remember that my Sony HDR-HC9 has this function, and that I’ve never played with it before.
We got pretty excited, it’s very inspiring, and this is what came out this morning [...]
