Katrina and environmental crimes
Well, Katrina (Wikipedia link, article currently under rapid change) has caused massive devastation in southern US.
This is an almost unbelievable human tragedy for all people in that region and has a large impact to the whole world.
But I’m still missing some news or articles what ultimately causes the increase in environmental disasters in the last years and decades. No one (at least to my knowledge) has yet combined the effects of global warming on the roots of Katrina. It is well known, although many are still unaware of what that really means for us, that the global warming heavily affects nature and weather. Global warming increases the likelihood of disasters.
Global warming is greatly aided by the US’ ignorance of environmental protection, see the US and Australia rejection, so in a sarcastic way one can say that the great industry nations are now a step closer on environmental suicide. It’s somehow their own fault, although we all have to suffer for those faults.

I’m runned over
A bit more than a week ago I played Paintball with the people from our company.
Yesterday another one organized a round of karting. Was fun too.
But my body shape was not entirely appropiate for the strong karts we were driving. For one I did not properly fit into the seat and was shaking around in it all the time and for the other I’m not heavy enough to press the kart onto the ground as the other drivers and I lost grip very often. Thus I was the last one crossing the goal.
Today I’ve a hurting back with a swollen spot which has the size of my hand.
If I can choose next time which activity our group should attend, I’ll choose Paintball.

I’m colored
Yesterday there was a great group event: Some buddy around here at work brought up the idea of playing some rounds of Paintball over at Dukes Castle.
I took the chance to experience such an event at least once in my life and for now I can say that this surely won’t be the last time.
We were 22 people and split up to four teams, two 5-people and two 6-people. Then we pulled up some sort of tournament where each team played two games against each other team and the team with the most wins… well, wins.
Personally I think I’ve been quite successful and although we didn’t explicitly make out a specific tactic in our team most rounds went the way that the other members of my team stayed back and covered the other team in colorful shots while I was going forward at the side of the playfield taking out one enemy after another.
I don’t know why I’ve taken out much more other players than I have been hit myself. Perhaps it is either because our enemies didn’t recognize me sneaking up to them or my body shape doesn’t make a good target.
Well, a few times some players from a ‘non-amateur’ team played in the playfield and I don’t think we would have had a chance of staying in the field longer than a few seconds against even only one of them…

My first LARP experience
This weekend my fianc? and I attended a LARP, a live action fantasy role playing game.
I was a bit unsure of what to expect at first but during play we had much fun and it went quite smoothly. Of course there were some mistakes or unpredictables on both sides, players and game-leaders, but all in all everyone had much fun.
Except for one incident: A neighbour of the castle where everything occoured came by, shouted at us and attacked and injured my fiancé without reason. Pulling hairs and scratching skin is not a gentlemens way of telling "Leave my property!" especially if we AREN’T on his property… We then called the police and went to the hospital for checks. This surely can end in a penalty for this rude farmer.
Nevertheless, thanks to the team from Zeitschmiede for this new experience!
