Yesterday I went to watch this movie: And I can recommend it to all classic horror and Steampunk enthusiasts out there. The atmosphere is excellent, a rotting Victorian family, plagued by a course, forbidde love, insanity… Psychotropic landscapes (i.e. thunder, lightning and rain when it is appropriate). The movie is shot in greyish, slightly faded [...]

For this entry I shall divert from the usual topics of this blog and point your attention to a book I just read. Guy Adams’ The World House, one of the most bizarre, exciting and engaging books I’ve ever lain my hands on. It took me a while to really get into the story of [...]

There is a hauntingly strange and beautiful site on the ætherweb called Parliament & Wake. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. But please be warned.

For family reasons I have very little time for this blog right now, so I have to keep the entries short. As I mentioned before, I attended a most splendid Emilie Autumn concert in Munich on February 17th. I took a lot of pictures, and here are some of them. They show a “Ratty-Steampunk-Stargate”, the [...]

Well, well… what can I say. Today’s featured article of the English Wikipedia is the Panzer I, and what a cute little tank it is, or was. Compared to its fellow tanks especially later in the war it almost seems like a toy. It also gets a lot less coverage in the media than its [...]
