A big hello to all of you out there! Another week and another topic, and this time I would like to talk a little about the Kardashian family. The Kardashians, merely a clan of harmless media attention junkies or rather a sophisticated and well- organized group of tricksters?- Who are these incredibly powerful people? A bunch of glamor- and glitz- seeking beaus who feel they deserve a permanent spot in the lime light of the US public media landscape? A six member strong money- making machinery with cleverly thought- out strategies as to take away from other people's fame and attention? Most likely a little of both, I would say. It is quite obvious that each of the infamous Kardashians seemingly magically flutters into the spot lights of public interest whenever there is a chance to even though their appearance is often entirely uncalled for. First, there is the mother, the head of the family, who just could not resist telling America on TV how promiscuous she turned out to be after her husband's passing. Seriously not interesting at all to hear that she did it multiple times in the elevator, in a staircase, and who knows wherever else. Really classy! Then her daughter, Kim, who announced her engagement with her latest fling Kris about the same time Prince William and Kate went on the air to let the world know about their engagement. Not enough, she even tried to top the wedding of the year with a ridiculously high- priced Hollywood like spectacle - which after only 72 days lost all of its pizazz after having found out that she had wed an allegedly gay man. Give me a break!
Then there is Rob, the sole rooster in the hen- house, who appeared on the show Dancing With The Stars  where he was pushed, pulled and carried through the competition week after week despite his lack of talent because the judges obviously feared the scorn of the Kardashian powerhouse.
What is more, Khloé's desire to have a baby took its full round through several tabloid magazines for weeks while Kourtney keeps overbearingly swaying in  marriage and motherhood.
Gee, the heat is on! How much more is coming our way, I wonder.

Ridiculous!

Ridiculous!   - A belated Hello back to my blog! - I was writing this a few days ago as we were sitting on the plane to Chisasibi in the far north east of Quebec, Canada. We flew out of Montreal which is definitely not a small town airport. Anyways, what we went through was the epitome of aggravation. Having been to many airports already, I'm kind of used to the generally time- consuming ordeals starting with the self- check- in counters, security check points, passport controls, mile- long jogs to the gates, baggage claim, customs, etc. I really thought I'd seen it all - until last Monday morning. After surprisingly having been checked in by an actual person, we were finally headed towards Departures. I could not believe my eyes once we turned around the corner and spotted hundreds of passengers waiting in line. What the heck?! First, we were funneled in what seemed half a mile away from the actual security check point and then driven in long snake lines just like cattle. I g...

Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...

Money Destroys The World   - This morning's news segment about a supposedly renowned US dog breeder corporation having neglected thousands of dogs has once more proven that quality is sacrificed for the sake of quantity which is linked to the sad fact that everything revolves around money only.  In order to increase and multiply profits, more volume of less quality has become the clearly chosen option everywhere. No doubt, we are dealing with a huge problem on a global scale, but still I feel that this country doesn't even bother masking the issue at times. That's just not fair towards the people here! Lies and false promises are the epitome of hypocrisy, all for the sake of making more money. Absolutely sickening! Just imagine, you would like to purchase a dog from a good breeding stock, and you are willing to pay more, but what you get is often not what you've been promised, no even worse guaranteed. The worst thing though, the paper work assures you that things are o...
