the salvation of the austrian health care system

Yesterday me and my girlfriend happened to stop by a rather new shopping mal in the 19th district, which is normally known for its posh and distinctive inhabitants (some would probably refer to them as upper-class but after geeting to know some exponents of this species at my university I wouldn't hold them in high esteem). Anywho, after buying myself a new digicam (Casio Exilim EX-Z70, for all the nerds out there) we went to the local supermarket to fetch some food for dinner. When we entered the gateway with our trolley we quickly came to a small accumulation of trolleys at the veggie section. A unusual huge bunch of people tried to fill their trolleys with various kinds of vegetables. At first I didn't give a s*** about it, just thought that this may be due to the higher income of the people in this district, and ent on towards the exit, where fate would reveal its destiny for us :-) Due to a vast tailback at the cashpoints we were forced to wait for like 20 minutes, before we could get back to freedom and see daylight again. Whilst waiting we noticed that every other cart was stuffed from top to bottom with hilarious amounts of vegetables. My girlfriend by the way heard what all the fuzz was about: the supermarket would grant a 50 % discount on all veggies and fruit from 18 to 19 pm. But it nonetheless it would make no sense to pack such amounts of veggies/fruit, especially with temperatures like we have them at the moment, as most of the bought goods probably will rot quickly.

The whole story leads me to two different estimations: either people in the 19th district must be the healthiest throughtout whole Vienna or rich people have an even bigger fear of the future, as the are stockpiling ridicoulous amounts of food? (Maybe they fear the blue collars coming into power ;-)

Later that evening we went to the movies and watched the summer-block-buster (at least it was said to be) Pirates of the Carribean II: Dead Man's Chest. Although Johnny Depp, who according to local experts scores only 7 out of 10 on the hot-or-not-scale, did a solid job, playing Captain Jack Sparrow, the whole movie didn't impress me that much. Given the right amount of alcohol (probably rum, aye) I suppose even some friends of mine could come up with a similar story. What remains are the admittedly sometimes super-impressive special effects and the score by Hans Zimmer (have I mentioned that I like big orchestral scores like in Star Wars, Gladiator etc.) Who do you people think of film music?
