So here's a review of today in instagram pictures. (I actually wanted to boycott this app, when it was released for android, because of this douchebaggery but then I thought pissing all of this people off by using it, actually pleases me.)
So there was this big fleamarket (bavarians biggest, they say) in Munich, today, and I went with my best friend and her sister. I expected to end up going home with a handful of books, as usual, but I didn't find any interesting ones, only some that are already in my private library. But I was also looking for a picture frame for this WEEKEND movie poster Maria gave me as a present, and when I almost gave up, because the shapes and sizes and colors didn't match, I found the right one, yay!
Through the filters it looks a little yellowish, or even wooden, I guess, but it's actually golden, and I really really like it. I wasn't sure, at first, if it would match to the movie poster colours, but I think it's perfect. And from today on, it's the first thing I'll see when I wake up!
And the same vendor that sold the picture frame gave me that little cutie owl on the picture below for free, when I asked for the price. I still didn't figure out what kind of material it is made of, it looks very wooden, but it's really soft and fluffy.
As you can see, he is a little injured, missing half of his left eyebrow, but my ever growing owl family gave him a warm welcome.
Another thing I bought, was this rucksack. I kinda needed a new one (got my current one from the fleamarket aswell, last year, but I ruined the leather with a huge grease spot, hmpf). I feel a bit less guilty with this one, since it's not (fully) made of leather.
And then, also on the same day and spot in Munich there was this spring fair with all these carousels, and it got me kind of nostalgic, because I loved carousels when I was a kid (well, who didn't, right).
So got tempted and took a picture of the flying swing.
All in all an exciting day and I am pretty exhausted now.

presents.
i also wanted to show you the prezzies i got for my birthday. some cool stuff among it!!
crazy ricarda, for example, not only baked some awesome sugar skull cookies (corresponding to the dia de los muertos themed costumes) and rose carrot cake cupcakes, she also managed to obtain a screen print from craig thompson's newest graphic novel "habibi" (which i still do not own, yet, due to a lack of money). my kindergarden friend mia gave me a cute owlish rubber stamp, and so my owl collection expands. also yoko and bernd know me pretty well, so they surprised me with a lip balm hidden in an owl costume. the cool thing about it is, that you can still use the owly as decoration after the lip balm is consumed. and then there are books. and there are books, yet to come! (like habibi) but first some words about these. from my eldery housemate i got a book called "the art of classy impoverishing". i'm not sure if i can still learn something, as i am already classy impoverished, haha. i myself bought two books from the very innovative money present my parents transferred to my bank account. the first one is patrick ness' "a monster calls" i have high expectations to this one, and the way it is illustrated is already pleasing my eyes, big time! can't wait to read it, but i still have to finish another book, before. the second book is "looking for alaska" from john green. this one also has been recommended to me a lot. so i expect something great on this one, too. lots of stuff i can fill my time with, on the forthcoming winter! thanks for all the nice stuff!
