Martin Luther …

Over the weekend I met a guy who informed me that as far as his family could tell, they were blood-related to Martin Luther, which I thought was pretty cool, all things considered.

So yesterday afternoon I was chatting with somebody back in the States and I mentioned this cool thing.

The response from the […]

Writer’s Block

I have a few ideas rumbling around my head, but I haven’t found the right rhythm and rhyme to discuss them yet.

This happens to me occasionally-for example, the Gay Sexcapades entry was in my head for a month before I figured out a way to write about it. Right now I have a Podcasting […]

New!

While washing my hair this morning, I noticed that my Herbal Essences Fruit Fusions (blackberry, avocado, mango) had a little “new” label on the front of it.

“NEW! Same Great Scent“

Fireworks and Sleep

I spent last night in Weimar-actually I am still here.

I came over to Weimar to watch fireworks down by the River Ilm, which due to the late setting sun was correspondingly late. The fireworks finally went off at 10:30 and were rather spectacular. It was a substitute for my non-existent Fourth of July. Well, […]

Cute Birds and Waiters

Today’s been a whirlwind of activity.

Well, not really-my afternoon was punctuated by a cute bird (a Grünspecht) flying into my window and then falling onto the ground looking like it was dead. I kind of panicked and went screaming off for help from the secretaries.

Call me a girl.

K picked up the phone […]

Panda Bears

I took this photo a couple years ago when I was “stuck” in Memphis overnight at Northwest Airlines‘ expense.

I’d rigged the trip in the hopes that this would occur so that I could see the Panda Bears at the Memphis Zoo. Along the way I got to ride in a pink limousine past Graceland […]

Gay Sexcapades

I went to bed fairly early last night. 9:40.

I was too tired to read, but not quite ready to fall asleep, so I grabbed my iPod and played a podcast that was sure to put me to sleep, and it did.

This started about a month ago when I was reminded of podcasting’s existence. […]

New Handy!

My mobile phone has been causing me a great deal of heart-ache of late, so I finally got around to buying a new mobile.

I’d tried to do so in America, and went to a T-Mobile dealer at the mall in Bloomington and asked what I thought was a pretty simple question: “What do you […]

Neo-Jena

For the next month and a half I am living in Jena. One of the benefits of this move is the fact that I will be climbing up and down a hill on my way to the office. It should help me lose some weight and get in shape again. I can already feel it […]

Scissor Sisters

So Summer 2004.
