From the bottom of my heart, I don’t think there’s anything better in the world than this. It’s perfect. Just perfect. I just walked home in a cold spring rain with freshly baked bread warming my hands, crossed glistening cobblestone streets as the tram clattered by, the church bells splashing down the quiet corridors of … Continue reading
Oh man, how I wish I’d found out about this earlier. While walking to the grocery store tonight I passed a sign propped up against a tree that promised me an evening of tantalizing delights. I didn’t go, as on the return trip I was laden with spoils of fruit and grain, and had to … Continue reading
That last post was more or less a tribute to this epic testament to enthusiasm for food, “Look At These Fucking Peppers.” Maybe you’ve seen it before. (Click to enlarge, or just right-click and download the original resolution version linked to.) It’s still a really good time for me. But while googling for it, I … Continue reading
Some days—and by that I mean every single day ever—all you need is some sandwiches. Today, of course, was one such day. Will you just look at that? That’s a freaking feast right there. Turkey, cheese, lettuce, black pepper, bacon, toasted bread… then some juice and milk for good measure. I remember one time, walking … Continue reading
Yesterday morning when I crawled out of bed, I peered out my balcony doors and saw snow falling gently. I didn’t bother to check whether it was sticking to the ground, because I knew it wasn’t. I pressed my bare feet against the radiator situated between the doors and my sink and deliberated between making … Continue reading
I have fortunately been living rather tech-free of late. As a consequence, I certainly haven’t been blogging, let alone reading up on the things I usually blog about. Instead I’ve been socializing quite a bit, and wishing I were instead at my computer. Kind of like this classic xkcd. In short, I’m still horribly broke, … Continue reading
I love languages. English, German, Mandarin, Java, Hypolocrian—it’s all good. I’m not yet fluent in any of these, but I like to tinker. I like to catch thoughts as near back to the core of their creation as possible, then contort and pervert them, stretching them across strange jungle gym formations in my thoughtspace. Here … Continue reading
Life is grand. As I tell all back in the States, here in Bavaria, the beer is strong and the women are gorgeous. But there are yet other niceties which I’ll admit I’ve been largely taking for granted. To be perfectly honest, every now and then I do sit bolt upright in bed, having been … Continue reading
The other day, I was up late conversing with my doppelganger Alex, swapping links. He has previously complimented me on my surfing mojo, telling me that I’m fit for a position as a professional surfer. But he recently upped the ante on the compliment with this monumental quote: “If you lived 100 years ago, you’d … Continue reading
I remember the first time I came to Munich, about two years ago now, I was stunned at how quickly and drastically the weather patterns could change. I still have a vivid memory of drinking in a beer garden with some friends, enjoying the glorious late July sunshine in the park, when hordes of patrons … Continue reading
