a cause de la movie

Sorry for the retarded blogging. We are moving again. So I have to think about what to do with the furneture and other unpleasant things. I am moving fully back to Berlin – the city with international flair, Tim will commute. The search for schools in Berlin was sort of similar to this one. Here some examples:

Sehr geehrte Frau Kutz,

    Ms. Kutz-

    I occasionally read your blog for scientific reasons, especially your husband provides
    useful information about scientific visualization. However your personal language experiments are – in my point of view – out of place. As a german I feel already enough annoyed by an increasing amount of anglizism, Genglish and so on. Your above experiment in your “blogentry-mini-pseudo-haiku” and what is does to the nice french language is terrible.
