I think I watched this very silly German movie because I was thinking of showing excerpts of it to my students, so they could see what schlock most Germans were watching just before "New German cinema" broke with the likes of Fassbinder, Schlöndorff and Herzog. But int he end I just told them about it. We did watch an excerpt of the most popular German movie of the 50's: "Sissi"-a highly romanticised version of the Bavarian princess who went on to become the Empress of Austria. Of course despite all my tsk-tsk-ing about it, they loved and I have to say as far as kitsch goes its pretty high-class fare! Romy Schneider is adorable and those dresses!!!

I used to like this show when I lived in Germany-even though I was too old for it. I especially liked the segments that showed you how things were made like pencils or cars, they went into the factory and shoed you exatcly how things were made... I thought that was cool. Plus the mouse and especially the elephant were cool too.

I did what every good project365-er is supposed to (for once...) and took my camera with me to the supermarket. I'm still shy about taking pictures in public though-don't want to inadvertently offend anyone. I saw this in the British foods section and simply couldn't resist making it my 365 shot of the day... Actually I was kind of tempted to try the treacle, but I thought it was a bit pricey for something that might be disappointing.
