Bodibeat from Yamaha - great idea - terrible result

The Yamaha BODiBEAT automatically matches music to your exercise pace, selecting songs that have a similar tempo to your running or jogging speed. When you change pace, BODiBEAT selects and plays a different song from your playlist to match your new pace. So far for the good news. The bad news is that it is expensive ($180 for a 512Mb player) has a monochrome tiny screen, a bulky appearance, a lousy headset and an even worse heartmonitor ear clip. Can't wait till Nike Plus comes with a heart monitor iPhone plug-in...

Hildegard Knef - Germany's last Diva

Because of the movie "Hilde" based on the autobiography of Hildegrad Knef I downloaded her best tracks. After all these years it still is great to hear her sing with her unusual (smokers) voice.
Never saw a movie with her though. Heike Makatsch is great in Hilde by the way - she really IS Hildegard.

A happy snowwhite

We collected all the snowwhite AH figures - but now we don't know what to do with them...
Or - better- what to do anyhow: maybe we have to wait for an other collectors item :-)

Patrik, Age 1.5

Göran (played by Gustaf Skarsgård) and Sven are a gay couple who’ve recently moved to the homogenous suburbs precisely so they can adopt a baby. They’ve gone through a long process, and to their delight, they’re told that they can soon expect a child, age “1.5 years.”
That, of course, turns out to be a typo. The only child available to them is a very troubled, and very homophobic 15-year-old boy, Patrik. :-)

På svenska:

Patrik, 1.5

Paret Göran och Sven Skoogh  har just flyttat in i ett villaområde och godkänts som adoptivföräldrar, men barnet de får visar sig vara en kriminell tonåring, Patrik. Ett kommatecken har hamnat fel i byråkratin och in kliver en femtonårig homofob med kriminellt förflutet. 

Och på film vet vi ju att det oftast för med sig bra saker, i slutändan.
