I saw this game for sale at the Winterfeldtmarkt – for several months – and I was intrigued.
So I bought it.
I do not know how much I paid, but I would imagine 20-30€; roughly what the game appears to sell for today on Amazon.
I will say, one of the things that […]
A few weeks ago, I posted Adam, 1977, a magnificent piece of art that I cannot bring myself to throw away, even as I hide it in a drawer, unsure of what exactly I am supposed to do with it.
Here is the sequel.
The only comment my Mother made upon giving this to […]
I’ve previously noted that I am not really a jewelry person – and so here is the only ring that I own.
Although I rarely wear it, I love it: it is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh Ring by Shetland Jewellery. I bought it on June 1, 2013, paying £739.00. It had to be custom […]
I popped onto Amazon recently searching for something, but thanks to an absent-minded linguistic mistake on my part, I ended up discovering that there is such a thing as submergible LED lights that come complete with a remote control so that you can switch between 12 colors, flashing, brightness and more.
That said, this […]
I sent myself this postcard from Baltasound – writing it while at the Baltasound Hotel Restaurant on May 30, 2013.
This is the best smelling restaurant I’ve been in in years – O.M.G. The first day in the Shetland Islands – Unst – Many Shetland Ponies seen. Lots of sheep/lambs. Amazing scenery – plus […]
This faucet was a present from a friend – and it is just whimsical enough that I installed it high on the wall, just outside my bedroom wall.
I actually use the hook under the faucet to hand shirts that are fresh back from the laundry.
Wait… the last time I had shirts at […]
In 2017, Germany celebrated Martin Luther and the 500th anniversary of the reformation.
I observed the celebration by going to Canada.
Before I left, I did buy Martin Luther as a cookie cutter – which is displayed on the shelf behind my couch. It has never been used for its designed purpose.
Even I, […]
So this wine cork has rested atop my electricity meter and circuit breakers since, I think, my housewarming party, which was held in fall of 2010.
Since then, I have seen it out of the corner of my eye as I go in and out of my apartment, sitting there, collecting dust.
The side […]
Back in 2008 I bought underwear from Dirty Fukker – and I must have received this hat as a premium for my purchased – as I do not see an order for it in my emails. Or maybe it’s there and I just searched the wrong term? Who knows?
But yes, back in 2008, […]
The first time I visited Germany, the Lonely Planet guidebook mentioned that one grocery store chain had named its house brand of toilet paper, “Happy End.”
My hosts denied knowledge of such a store with such a brand. It wasn’t until after I lived in Germany that I learned that Penny was the store […]
