Detailing… on buildings and in CAD
June 21, 2009
Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I’m straight up going to sit down and blog super fast because I’m going for a run after this. Man, I really need to run again.
Sunday last week: Spectacular lunch with Margit and Oma – completely organic and delicious. Honestly the best pumpkin soup I’ve ever had and everything was grown in the garden. Fans, a picture:

It was super beautiful that day, I wish I took more pictures.
So from there we went to a, I forget what they’re called, but basically some Austrian people have a smaller house or cottage and a plot of land that they can go to and just chill and garden or something. Again we had some coffee and cake until I heard Stef come up with his motorcycle. Haha, it was pretty hilarious. I came out and he was waiting on his hog leaning back with the spawling countryside behind him. I felt like I was in a cheesey movie, but it was super fun! He explained that I needed to wear this belt thing around my waist because the wind would make my back cold and my organs would be affected… I’m doing such a horrible job explaining it, but I put it on, and climbed up behind him and off we went on a GORGEOUS sunny day. We went to get icecream in the next village, Neufeld (which turned y teeth absolutely blue) and then rode around to the different villages. Super fun, although I (of course) got sunburnt. Then came back to Vienna.
Monday: Work in the morning… lunch at a park and then more work… yep nothing much to report from that day
Tuesday: After work I went to check out the Secession building and kind of realized that it was in a state of disregard… graffiti, homeless children and people, although a cool hippy cafe on the same block produced a great coffee. Check it:


Katy would love the owl detailing

Saw this too

Which one is it? Haha, if I was near this area of town, I thought I would check these out too... Although it was kind of raining so I was the only person there.
Wednesday: Worked a little late pretty much cadding all day. Blech, my eyes hurt afterwards and I’m going to get severe wrist problems some day… But after work I went to dinner with Felix and talked about his work in the Social Sector of Vienna… crazy stuff. And really depressing, but I wouldn’t find a better person for the job – he is always so upbeat and tells great stories.
Thursday: Work work and then met Roswitha and Hans in the Sand in the City for dinner and after went to a concert next door… interesting. It was an American woman, Susan Graham I think? I can’t really remember but she only sang french opera love songs with a piano… I liked the concert hall and the first couple songs she sang, but as the concert continued the songs got more and more modern and weird. To make matters worse she came back out after the last song and applause literally four more times. At this point people were like dude I’m out. As were we. We got a couple spritzers in the SinT again and I spoke to Inge, a colleague from Hans. Really interesting.
Oh and here’s a picture:

Snazzed up. What.

Enough already lady, jeez.
I will post a separate blog about Friday… it deserves it. Now to get running!
Dear Elizabeth,
Lovely to read about your experiences. By the way, “a smaller house or cottage and a plot of land that they can go to and just chill and garden or something” is called a Gartenhaus (or Garden House, duh!) I am glad you are having fun. Remember to eat and sleep enough.
Lots of love,
Mama
Yeah, ein Gartenhaus oder die verkleinernde Version ein Gartenhäuschen
