There IS a boundary for the pain. Until a certain threshold, pain is motivating. At every beginning, the left column of pain is for sure higher than the right column of gain. A perfect job sees the right column of gain increasing somehow before the pain column reaches its top. A bloody goddamned job like mine has a huge, without end left pain column. This evil pain column gets so high, that at the end of the job the gain column is no visible anymore. Either I am not good at my job, or this job is for masochists only.
Inline skating against the swine flu: skate marathon on the Greifen See (Uster)
August 30, 2009

It was a big success the inline skating marathon “Aktive gegen die Schweine Grippe” organized by Loranablog on the 29th of August 2009. Several enthusiastic inline skaters, following the motto “No kisses, no hugs .. it’s pandemic, baby! (CC)” rolled for 19,340 meters around the Greifen See. The sunny day and the süessmoscht gave more than enough juice to roll the long distance in only 3 hours and 22 minutes. The end of the day has been celebrated with a vigorous swimming in the lake and a gorgeous grill back in the city.
We thank all the participants and we look forward to the next great event!
P.S. you can request the master pictures to print yourself the “No kisses, no hugs .. it’s pandemic, baby!” t-shirt (CC) at loranablogatkillamaildotcom

Integration in Switzerland
August 30, 2009When the 1st of August is celebrated with the family on the Rigi mountain, the integration grade of the immigrant in Switzerland starts to be quite high. Therefore, to show my father he has no more to be worried (for us) about washing machine days, ruhezeiten, ruhetagen and girillieren verbot, we had a very nice and long trip on the Rigi by cogwheel train and back to Luzern by steam wheel boat. I am sure we convinced him! Click HERE to open our flickr set about this sunny day!
Diktatur des Lächelns – Italien unter Berlusconi / La dittatura del sorriso
August 28, 2009Quei comunistacci degli Austriaci ne hanno combinata un’ altra della loro. Questa volta accusano l’unto del Signore, On. Pres. Silvio Berlusconi, di essere un dittatore col sorriso.
“L’Italia sotto Berlusconi è un documentario andato in onda sulla televisione pubblica austriaca (ORF) che parla di Berlusconi in tutta la sua controversia. Un resoconto di come vanno veramente le cose in Italia, partendo dal controverso G8 di Genova 2001, passando per il G8 2009 situato nellepicentro di un terremoto. Si parla di ronde e delle scelte in conflitto tra loro di questo governo. Di potere mediatico e di illegalità diffusa in questa Italia che sembra andare alla deriva. Il paese di programmi Culi e Tette e di Puttane pagate dai politici. Si parla di tutto ciò che in Italia non sentiremo mai. E, temo, questo documentario in Italia non andrà in Onda. I sottotitoli sono stati realizzati da Susanne Streif (limonare) in collaborazione con Giogclip” (dal canale youtube dove potete vedere il filmato con sottotitoli in italiano). Se siete solo curiosi, date un’occhiata alla prima parte inclusa nel post. Cliccate anche QUI per vedere tutte e 5 le parti.
Videocracy trailer censored by Italian public television (RAI)
August 27, 2009The trailer of the movie “Videocracy” has been censored by Italian televisions. This means, Italians will not know about a movie made about their last 30 years of history. The censorship has been applied because the trailer offends the Italian minister Silvio Berlusconi. The trailer shows how the commercial television introduced by the businessman Silvio Berlusconi radically changed the Italian society, producing idiotic-Tv-dependent sex maniacs out of “normal” citizens. I wonder why Silvio Berlusconi does not want this trailer to be shown, as this movie greatly witnesses his success in transforming the Italian citizens in Berlusconi clones.
Lern to toss the turtle, learn to cope with life
August 27, 2009Even if this title sounds probably a mouthful to you, give a try to this incredibly addictive flash game online. Try to beat my (incredible?) record of more than 200,426 feet and find the deep meaning behind the game. Then, write it with your record on the blog.
Aggressive girls for passive boys: the new school trend worldwide
August 26, 2009I try to avoid easy conclusions as usual. However, I find interesting the similar stories coming from schools in Argentina and Russia. A colleague of mine has a nephew in Buenos Aires. My wife has a nephew in Moscow. These two young boys are around 11ish. Both of them are “beautiful kids”, at least for the girls of their classrooms. Girls who physically fight against girls to get the attention of the novel Adonis. Girls who touch “there” the body of the boys. Girls who slap and beat the boys when they don’t pay attention to the girls.
Is this normal? I don’t remember anything like this when I was at school. Where does this aggressiveness come from? Which models do these girls follow? How the boys react? Go back playing with Barbie, girlies.
Spiaggia rosa Budelli: un paradiso trasformato in parcheggio per zoticoni
August 24, 2009Che fortuna avere visto la spiaggia rosa di Budelli 17 anni fa. Quando c’era ancora la sabbia rosa. Quando all’ orizzonte si vedeva il mare. Quando ancora si poteva nuotare nella baia antistante. Ma guardate che schifezza immonda e’ diventata la spiaggia rosa di Budelli. No, non parlo della stupida auto anfibia che e’ andata a parcheggiarsi direttamente sulla spiaggia. Guardate cosa c’e’ in mare: un parcheggio per idioti con i soldi che gli escono dal c**o. Tutti questi arricchiti con le loro maledette barche puzzolenti. Avete trasformato un paradiso in un parcheggio. Le vacanze da schifo che vi fate, parcheggiati uno accanto all’ altro, non sono un trapasso sufficiente: le vostre azioni gridano vendetta, zoticoni!
Ragnar Tornquist, how could you do it?
August 23, 2009I played the most wonderful adventure written for a computer game one year ago. The Longest Journey has been the most captivating game adventure I ever lived. I finished 2 minutes ago to play DreamFall-The Longest Journey, the so called 2nd episode of The Longest Journey you released in 2006.
“Finished to play” is quite ironic, as you sent to almost death, death penalty or true death most of the good characters … but the story itself is not finished at all!!! We are in 2009 now. Two-thousand-and-nine!!! What the hell are you waiting for to release the 3rd episode? For the Balance, how could you be so cruel? What are those rumors about Dreamfall chapters??? When will you publish them? Stop now reading Stephen King’s book on your Kindle. Time to write has come!
Calcola l’ IQ di Graziana Capone …
August 20, 2009… basandosi su queste sue frasi sul suo rapporto con Berluska riportate da Repubblica:
“Nel posto più vicino al cuore, alle sue cene, lui vuole me. Forse perché somiglio a Veronica Lario”
“Sono sicura che se il presidente avesse un harem io sarei la favorita”
“Da grande mi piacerebbe fare l’attrice, forse, o il magistrato”
“Come Gesù, lui dice ‘Lasciate che i fanciulli vengano a me”
“Il presidente , come Gesù, dà ai giovani un’idea di concretezza, trasmette energia”
Seee… Berluska c’ha la spada de foco, mo’!
Come diceva Veronica? “figure di vergini che si offrono al drago per rincorrere il successo, la notorietà e la crescita economica“. Troppa buona, Veronica, troppo buona.
