Overdue as ever, but here’s a brief rundown of how the trip to Prague went. Friday afternoon we head out to the train station, hop on a train that depart around 5:45pm, if I remember correctly. It’s straight from Munich to Prague, but we don’t arrive until 11:30pm. Since we got in so late, we … Continue reading
My Wednesday afternoon class was cancelled, so I came home and had a heaping feast of sandwiches (salami, cheese, lettuce, tomato, way more mayonnaise than is socially acceptable) and a few beers. I’d just picked up a new case of my favorite beer, so I was ready to rock. I then decided that it’d been … Continue reading
As yet an untold story, due to the poor connectivity of late. On Saturday, I left the winetasting early in order to meet up with my pal Sascha and go scope out some guitars with him. (I didn’t buy one, so don’t skip to the end to find out!) We were able to catch each … Continue reading
I’d forgotten that I’d successfully uploaded some photos earlier. They are not about anything in particular… I think I called the album “Brief moments” or something. It snowed. We were served free Turkish tea at the local döner place because we came in there late on a Friday evening, and it was snowing. Probably some … Continue reading
I’m going to get real narrative in the next few posts. This was a pretty incredible weekend, a milestone of sorts in that I think it’s one of the only days ever when I wasn’t in contact with my computer to make a post. Yikes. I shall begin with the winetasting. I forget who heard … Continue reading
OK, I’m not majoring in knowing a lot about about trees, but I do know that they rock. Like, I’m 100% positive on that, even though trees aren’t humans and also aren’t technology (no arguing on that, please–this is a serious post). I mean, I thought everybody knew that trees rocked. Well, they don’t. Some … Continue reading
On Sundays, museums in Munich are free. This is splendid news. First pick for museum excursions was the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich’s museum of modern art, as it had been advertising a “Humanism in China” photography exhibit for some time. That exhibit was absolutely phenomenal. I’d expected to see a row of photos by a … Continue reading
So Will Smith is considering acquiring some more tribal ink, this time climbing up his calf. Check out the rough draft his tattoo artist has composed: He plans to get it before the big concert, which is a goal I wholeheartedly support. (Amon Amarth are one of the greatest Viking metal bands in existence.) Please … Continue reading
This weekend we had another kitchen party. Just as last time, this was a raving success. My friend Mark, whom I met at Drexel years ago in German classes, did come and visit me, and even brought a friend. He and the friend arrived in Munich on Friday afternoon, and I didn’t meet up with … Continue reading
