praktisch
there's probably nothing as swiss as the adjective "praktisch" (convenient). and there's probably nothing I hate more than those ugly kitchen utensils which sneak into your flat in disguise, wrapped as presents. these uninspired thingies are usually very praktisch at solving problems you hardly ever encounter, like crack-opening a breakfast egg, serving wine without spilling, storing postcards, you name it.
in the words of marcel duchamp:
there is no solution, because there is no problem.
the reason behind this rant is our intention to move into a new flat at some point (hopefully rather sooner than later). you can't imagine how different you look at your belongings in the context of an upcoming relocation. I already apologize to the donors of all the presents I'll have to give away.
