Holy Cow! The second semifinals of Eurovision 2014 is tonight – with the finals on Saturday, and I have not mentioned them at all on my blog. Or even on Twitter.
I wish I had a good excuse – but I don’t – I should have blogged about it at some point – somewhere between […]
I’m happy to report that I’ve survived Christmas, at home, alone.
Since Friday evening, I’ve watched a lot of Breaking Bad, read books, went to the gym, and took a lot of naps.
I actually never left the house Saturday – temperatures in Berlin dropped below freezing and I decided that I’d rather be warm […]
Sorry, it’s New Year’s Eve. I’m living in Germany. This. Must. Be. Watched.
As well as a remake for children:
How about a live one, on stage:
Plus the ultimate Lego […]
Friday afternoon was gorgeous—and instead of staying cooped up at home working, I decided to seek the pleasures of the great outdoors.
Naturally my first stop was the Weimar Office for a cup of tea and a slice of cake—none of the cakes spoke to me, but I settled in and watched the store get […]
I Dream of Jeannie on G's Blog
Some anonymous reader decided to check out G’s Blog, From the Big Apple to the Big Bear, and noticed right away that there was a post with a gigantic picture from the 1960s American sitcom, I Dream of Jeannie.

In response to yesterday’s post, I received some criticism from an anonymous commenter:
Don’t trivialize what children do and don’t understand. There are some things that are family friendly and some things that aren’t – plain and simple. If you want people to respect you, you have to be a bit more open minded to […]
“Last night’s ‘American Music Awards’ broadcast was nothing short of tasteless and vulgar. Adam Lambert, the second-place finisher in last season’s ‘American Idol’ competition, chose to treat American families to simulated oral sex and other demeaning behavior.”
-Parents Television Council 23 November 2009
I dunno about you, but I don’t think that oral […]
Breaking Free
Today marks 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
It’s also an excellent opportunity to talk about the difference between information and tacit knowledge because before I moved to Germany I was merely informed, after living in Germany I became knowledgeable.
Sitting here today it’s hard for me to mark […]
Yesterday was a great day—all of it, no part greater, though, than the evening when I met a few friends, had dinner, and watched Eurovision at home-safer for me than going to Moscow with Russia’s gay rights record this weekend: People Arrested, See Photos, and Mayor calls Pride Parades Satanic! .
Meanwhile, focusing on the […]
