Things I like to do: hobbys

Holiday
I like going on holidays (although I only do it rarely). And even when I do, that doesn't mean that I'll scan my photographs, because I'm very lazy, indeed (sometimes I don't even take photographs). Anyway, I'm very proud to present my Ireland (summer '96) photographs to you, a holiday I really enjoyed a lot; not only because of the unbelievable beautiful landscape, but also because of the nice and friendly people living in Ireland.
I've scanned some of my Berlin (autumn '96) photos, too, to have a "companion" for Ireland... I should perhaps mention, that in 1996, Berlin was a huge single construction site - so I'm kind of happy to show you some photos which don't look (completely) like a construction site :)
Reading
I must admit that I don't invest enough time in reading books. But if I get a real good book, you won't be able to stop me until I'm finished with it. There are many books I read, but I'd like to mention two authors, which I really love to read, because every single book they have written was a great pleasure reading: Douglas Adams and Roald Dahl.
Because I couldn't find anything about Roald Dahl in the web, when I really needed some facts about him for my colloquium (in my abitur), I wrote a page of my own. Although it has only one image and lots of text, it might perhaps be of any interest to you.
Computer
Being a computer addict :), I love writing software, image processing (have a look), sometimes playing games and good WorldWideWeb pages.
Sports
I love to ride my bike in the summer, but it's some sort of fun cycling through the snowy munich, too. A propos snow: skiing is great, too, if there's enough snow...
Yeah. I also play Billiards a lot, play Tennis (if there is enough money left) and go Swimming. I sometimes play Table Tennis, too (if there's anyone to play with).
Movies and TV
Because I regularly visit the cinema munich's sneak preview, I've seen a lot of totaly different movies - and it would be hard to mention all of them. Instead, I'll present you some of my favourite movies: Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, Smoke and Blue in the Face, Monty Python (Flying Circus and movies like Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, etc.), Star Trek and Star Trek TNG and Dead Poet's society.
A propos movies... wanna have a look at Munich's cinema program or do a little research in The Internet Movie database?
Yes, I shouldn't forget some of the best TV-series, however I must admit that I'm not totally mad in TV series, but here you go: Married with children ("Eine schrecklich nette Familie" in german) and The X files ("Akte X - die unheimlichen Fälle des FBI" in german).
Music
Here are my favourite bands: Sting, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Queen and Mariah Carey.
Very often, I hear radio energy munich, too. Sometimes, I even play the piano or try to learn playing the guitarre.
