Hofmeister looking better than usual...


"First one to blink looses...you're going, going, going down!!!"


"Hahahaha...he's so funny this Jarek guy! Where did you find him?"


Tingling. Gorgeous as always.


"Ohhh...a hicky on the neck from Katka, now I can pretend to have a boyfriend again.."


"Hello, I'm Suki. I'm looking for a nice Indian wife that can take care of my 10 children while I'm working in our Chippy." (Sorry Suki, I know that would never happen...3 children, a Czech wife and a job in Prague is almost as good, I totally agree."


"Hihihi...I farted. Hihihi...and it is a stinky one too..."


"If I squint, stick my tongue out and tilt my head a bit to the right he's almost doable. Damn, I should try the white wine!"


"Give me a kiss honey!"


"Fried cheese, cheese on a skewer, marinated cheese or maybe just some pasta in cheese sauce...God it's difficult to decide!"


"Dupilidum, if I squint she looks almost normal... Beer glasses, bah! White wine does the trick even better!"


"He he he, you can't be honest!? That small???"


"Mmmm...newly washed, fluffy and the scent! I wonder if he'd notice if I sniff closer..."


"Girls, girls, girls, we're looking for a good time!"


Adam: "I've got a piercing in my tongue can you see it? Closer dude!"


"Yummie, yummie, yummie...do you think he'll loose his cool matcho look if I stick my tongue in his ear?"


"Brush your teeth five times a day with Colgate Super Plus is what my mom always told me."


"Ehh...can somebody please take care of Katka, I think that tenth beer is starting to get to her head..."


Oh my god, i forgot to brush my teeth this morning. I wonder if she'll notice?!!


"Je ne veux pas travailler, je ne veux pa dejeuner, je veux seulment oublier et puis je fume..." Ok, pardon my French...

Traband and Hadry z tela

I'm not the best blogger in the world, have started to realize that by now. As a good blogger you should be adding things as they come, not a week afterwards. Well, as if I care. This is an egoistic blog and I do as I please. Therefore, this blog is about last week and especially Thursday and Friday as these were the best days. (Saturday and Sunda were actually rather boring as I had to try to recover from the previous days...)
So. Thursday. Left work earlier than I really should have, but hey, I do my hours and when the weather is nice and the guys are taking you to the pub - you go. First dinner at U Kachny (At the Duck's) with the Office Online team (and some casual hand arounds like myself) having some nice things from the grill. We only intended to stay for an hour or so, but the beer was cool and the people funnier than usual so we hanged on for a few hours more. Jan was drinking his white wine and Mattoni mineral water but the rest of us stayed with the beer, as one should. After the fourth pint Adam and Jarek started getting a bit tipsy and thus the famous "Picoooo, kurvaaaaa and voleeee" started coming more and more frequently from their mouths.

One could say that they were rude, or one could not. They just don't have the right personality for people to take that offensively (they are geeks). I think that people just think that they are trying to look like the cool people that hang around at the Cejl street, e.g. those guys that you see running away with your mobile or stereo, or maybe even both if you are lucky...

After dinner we went to a concert at the Jazz Cafe Podobrazy, Traband and Hadry z tela, which was part of the Etno Open-air festival. Really cool and a lot of fun. Our favorite was Klara who unfortunately was only on the stage for a few minutes. The guy trying to improvise a poem about squirrels sucked. We wanted Klara and her contrabase. Klara ruled. However, nobody listened to our complaints.

Although I wanted to leave early as I at least had to be able to pretend to be working on the Friday, I stayed out (surprise) as Adam and Jarek pulled me with them to Belle Air to meet up with Hanka and Katka (Jarek's GF). So, the night ended three hours later than planned after a final beer at a non-stop (what happened was that me and Katka were determined to find a taxi and go home. We however lost Adam and Jarek and found them a few minutes later in the non-stop hovering over their beer...).

I managed to pull through work the day after dispite the worst hangover this decade. In the evening I went for proper "The day after" dinner with Case, Kristen and Jitka to Pizzeria Paradiso and then we went over to Bob's. Party at the top foor on a huge terass, lots of beer and perfect view of the Petrof cathedral and the Spielberk castle. Watched the Grand Finale of the Fireworks festival Ignis Brunensis with the music pumping out from the stereo. The evening was completed when some of the guys managed to break one of the sofas and almost smashing their brains out. Perfect night all in all.


"If I try really hard I can tickle myself on my nose with my lip, can you see it?"


"What's that thing on your t-shirt? Oh man...I think I'm gonna be sick..."


"I swear, he was only this high, bold and cross eyed. And he said that that guy Jarek seemed to be a really nice bloke...I got his number if you like?"


"Sometimes I just like to point at things."


"He'll spill it, I promise you, he'll spill it...wait wait wait..."


"Lookie lookie no hands! But hey...how am I supposed to drink it now...uhhhh?"


"Nooo...really? And then what did he say after you had said that he had said what he said?"


"Hehehe...when you're drunk it's ok to hug your mates without looking gay! Isn't it?"


HUUUUUUUG!!!!


"Stay back or I'll do the Jumping Chicken trick on you!"


Posing. Aren't we cute?


Just one of those pictures you take because you think that you are artistic.


"Oh for God's sake, why didn't anyone tell me it was pepper spray?!!!"


Ending the evening at the Bel Air cafe is sometimes a good idea...sometimes you should just have gone home as you intended four hours ago.


"Be good and I won't strangle you..."


And two beautiful girls, Hanka and Katka.


"Jarek, your chest is so nice to rest my head on. Things don't spin around as badly as before..."


"I can keep my eyes open for five minutes without blinking! Is that something that could get into the Guiness Book of Records?"


Just a cute guy. Yes, I am a girl.


"Can you please try to stay focused?"


"Dancing, I love dancing! Especially the turkey dance I learnt while being a foreign exchange student in Turkey"


"Mmmmm...water and white wine that's what real men drink, beer is for women."


"Yeah...very very funny...haha."


"What!? Those prices are just too high for a simple engineer!"


Viera, thinking about whether or not to have another beer...


Jarek from his best side.

Soaking

Summer in Central Europe is odd to say the least. One has to have a lot of luck to be able to dodge the thunderstorms and heatwaves and pick out the wheater goodies. The weekend was so hot I didn't manage to do anything else than to stay in bed and lazily work on my Prague puzzle I got from Kristen. Headache and a horrible thirst was all I got from it. No fun.
Was out on Friday with Andi, having a nice dinner and then a walk through town. I love doing that. Everytime you find a new place that you have managed to overlook. This time I found a French restaurant that is being run by Catholic nuns (by the Petrov Cathedral) and a nice new waterthingy down some stairs near the monestary gardens. We took our shoes off and just enjoyed the nice cool water. A smoke while our feet dried. Sometimes life is just perfect. Ended up with a G&T at Pizzan at the Roman Square (Rimske namesti) and then a nice stroll back home.

Saturday was good as well. After a very hot day when I was barely able to move, the night was great and I met up with Zdenka for a beer before going to the Depeche Mode party at Mersey. Had a lot of fun, dancing and singing all night long. Tomas, Zdenka's cousin came a long as well. Nice bloke. ;)

Went with him for dinner last night to one of my favorite Italian restaurants that is close to where I live, Piccolo Mondo on Gorkeho street. Had some nice king prawns in parma ham and beer. Never get disappointed with the food and service there. Unfortunately not very common yet in the Czech Republic. ;) Then went for a nice evening walk in my neighbourhood, discussing architecture... I really have to say that I love my area. Great view of Brno, close to the city centre and still nice and quiet with lots of huge old houses and green gardens.

Am a bit bored at work, am working on a cold calling campaign and am doing research at the moment. All current accounts going as they should, no major issues and just some reports being worked at. Mainly sitting looking through websites and updating the information in our sales tool. Well, well...it could have been worse.

Strange really...when you are having a lot of issues to solve and are working long hours you complain about that and want some peace. Then when things are the other way around you want some action. Human I guess, but not very logical. The grass IS greener on the other side.

No real plans for tonight. Was thinking of going to play basketball with Filip and the guys, but am too tired today and can't be asked. We'll see, something always comes up.
