Sunday night I started panicking about my September trip to Armenia. Hotels in Yerevan, the capital city, are more expensive than I expected, although I suspect there is a significant price premium for booking hotels that can be found on the Internet—this is a country where few places have a web presence.

I made a mistake today. I popped down to the Weimar Office (Café Laden) where I had not one, but two cups of coffee before noon. The end result was that I was about to bounce off the walls and couldn’t focus on anything for the entire afternoon. Seriously, I think this is dangerous and […]
Recently Nome asked me to pick out ten musical artists, delineating the first song I heard, the song I fell in love with, and my current favorite.

Self: Sure happy I’m not flying out of the UK today. I feel terrible for the barista from my Weimar Office who’s flying to Chicago today. She’s going to study at the Art Institute and to get there she’s flying Air India via London. Well, she’s supposed to. I somehow doubt that it is going […]
