TV tip, Women in Red

As the motto of this week is "women in red" I was stunned really to find something to write with respect to this, when watching my load of TV this weekend.
My absolute tip regarding new TV shows is "The legend of the seeker", which is an adaptions of Terry Goodkinds "The Sword of Truth" books. I really like the TV version, to the point of feeling my right (dice) hand itch, as I had been a passionate fantasy roleplay player, even inventing our own game system together with a friend and the participation of many others.
Well, now I am on the rock of Taiwan and no more dices. The books however had a very disturbing part, not really fitting into the mainstream-fantasy story in a world of sorcerers and heroes, an extremely long disturbing part and going through it wasn't easy. It is this Mord Sith cult, which consists of very BDSM-mistress like cruel women clad in red and black leather who torture pure men with their "pain sticks" and the red leather is to hide the blood stains during torture. Goodkind makes this whole thing a strange pure-BDSM like episode in this books where the women in questions humilates our formerly sword-wielding hero into becoming a boot-licking ... softie. I almost threw the book into a corner at some point, too much of that stuff and I am not really into that.
The TV-adoption however made this more easy-going, the sexual part and love affair stuff is only sketched. I found the end of the episode disappointing though. Because in the books, our hero could finally free himself of the beast by loving her, only this empowered him to use his magic again (the lady controlled the magic of his sword) to finally ... stab her. Stab her with love. Put a greeting into it from me. No seriously, this was a nice and poetic ending of the story. TV version had her stabbed rather quickly and off he goes to new sword fights.

Now why does all this sound like some real life stuff. "She controlled the magic of his sword", isn't that what women do? Never mind, look at the pic instead, it is from a Mongol-warrior performance during my Korea vacation. Never knew the Monglos had little red riding hood though...

EDIT: I should watch less TV. Probably it's not healthy.

Wild Women Don’t Have The Blues

Wild women don’t have the blues,
Sie sitzen auf dem Moped und knattern laut,
Tippen auf den Asphalt mit ihren High-Heeled Shoes.
Hinten drauf sitzt ihr Freund Aaron, der ganz ängstlich schaut.

Knatternd geht es durch den Verkehr,
Scharf einscheren direkt vorm großen Laster,
Das mögen die Mopedmädels gar so sehr,
Kein Problem, in der Tasche haben sie Hello-Kitty-Pflaster.

In die Kurve legt sich die Guste mit strammer Wade,
Doch keiner der zwanzig Herren neben ihr guckt hin,
Sie denken nur an Pflicht und Arbeitgerbers Gnade,
Keiner sieht den hoch gerutschten Rock, da mitten drin.

Schon rattert das Moped über die schnurgerade Piste,
Aaron hinten drauf ist schon ganz benommen,
Grad noch bremsen kann der Querverkehr, eine Toyotakiste,
Meine Kamera war wieder zu spät, das Mädel ist glatt entkommen.

Company party (....Taiwan girls)

Just recreated a post of 2006, where the pix had disappeared.
Shouldn't have done it maybe...

Those days are over, now is recession

This blog has it's own dog saving mission, now with members all over Taiwan, and still growing...

Live and work in Taiwan

OK, I should try not to watch them anymore...

ah... OK... I try to look somewhere else...
....ups...













That is from the 20year aniversary of my company here, sigh...






When you see all this, you urgently need some physical workout:
EDIT: Those days in 2006, this was all part of my "Oh my God, Taiwan! I can't believe this" experience. As such a company party would have been totally impossible back home. Well, I guess the tide of time has changed in Taiwan as well, I doubt I will see such company events or a server full of such photos (these are taken by myself though) for a long time.

Nowadays I can't fail to notice the girls feel a bit uncomfortable with the scant clothing...'
