Equal time for Juli
Following up on my previous post, the other song that caught my ear while working out this morning was "Das gute Gefuehl" by the group Juli - not as many good youtube videos for Juli as Wir Sind Helden unfortunately, so this is the best I could find for this group:
My New Obsession
I've been listening to a lot of German Pop music lately. It's a way of working on my vocabulary while I work out. Two bands in particular are somewhat similar: Juli and "Wir Sind Helden". Yesterday I couldn't stop listening to "Ein Elefant fuer Dich" by Wir Sind Helden and today I can't stop listening to "Die Zeit heilt alle Wunder".
also by Wir Sind Helden. The lyrics are particularly fun to decipher as a non-native speaker as naturally when I first heard the song I thought she was singing "Time heals all wounds" when in fact what she is saying is "Time heals all miracles." I didn't even realize this until I tried to google the title and google corrected me: "Do you mean zeit heilt alle wunder?" Fun stuff. Reminds me of Wordsworth's Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.

My brother's house in the New York Times
it's in there somewhere, in the background. On the right.
From yesterday's New York Times apparently.

Korner's Kant is out of print
I started once again trying to read S. Koerner's book on Kant, published by Penguin in 1970. My old copy is turning to dust. I think the first 20 pages or so are probably held together by the ink from all the underlining I did 25 years ago. Anyway, I just checked on Amazon, and apparently it's out of print. I can't say I'm surprised. I recently bought a used copy of Robert Redfield's "The Primitive World and Its Transformations" - also out of print, and another book from my student days.

I got some ugly shoes
Ordered three pairs of Rockport shoes from shoes.com. Not cheap. The pictures don't really show how ugly they are. I kind of dig them.
