I would like to write two things quickly: first, it is strange to receive guests and have them be so excited over things that are so normal to you. Perhaps I have been spoiled by being sent to Germany a couple of times for work. Don’t get me wrong: I am excited to have [...] May 7th, 2009
Dear Internet: I need your advise. Nine Inch Nails is touring Europe this summer and it the so-called “final tour”; at the very least, it should be the last tour NIN will do for a while. So I would like to see them. Luckily, Europe is relatively small so I have a few options. [...] April 28th, 2009
On Saturday night Mr. Orovan, Mr. Scott, and myself visited Munich’s Frühlingsfest (spring festival). The festival is “family friendly” and had a large number of rides, skill games, food stands, and other ways to spend your money. It also had a couple of beer halls/tents. I was actually quite surprised to see all of [...] April 14th, 2009
Katy and I are sitting in St. Pancras international rail station awaiting our high-speed train to France. I am writing this on my iPhone whilst enjoying a coffee from Caffé Nero and wearing a linen blazer over my Built to Spill “Perfect From Now On” t-shirt. I am quite excited to go through the [...] April 9th, 2009
I’m in London England, wearing a suit, typing on my MacBook, and drinking a white mocha from Starbucks; the rub is, I’m doing this in the lobby of a hostel. I never thought that would happen. March 30th, 2009

After entering Germany you are allowed to drive using your home country driver’s license for up to six months. A Canadian license to drive [...] March 29th, 2009
At dinner on Friday, poop was a topic of conversation for a good ten minutes. Present was young Levin, who despite not being able to speak was still able to communicate that he was making a poop. This reminded me of the classic children’s book Everyone Poops. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Everyone Poops is not known [...] March 28th, 2009
While in Europe I think it makes sense to collect a few European kitchen products to make cooking more enjoyable. Indeed one of my first set of purchases when I arrived was kitchen related: new utensils, new cutting boards, new knives etc. Most of these items will stay here when I leave but some [...] March 26th, 2009
Thursday, March 26, 2009. It’s approximately 9 p.m. Less than one hour ago I was still at work. I’m hardcore like that. The weather has been terrible all week. I think it has constantly rained. I am lucky I live on the first floor (second floor to you on the other side of the [...] |
