One of the best things about the States are the local restaurants where the waitresses call you “honey” or “sugar” and know what you want to eat before you even open your mouth—plus, if you’re a coffee drinker, keep your cup filled up to the brim (no such thing as a free refill in Europe) […] In case you hadn’t noticed, I kind of took the weekend off from blogging. That’s not to say I didn’t take the weekend off—at least not the entire weekend. Friday I got to be present at one of America’s traditional rights of passage: a sixteen year old getting his drivers license. It was, oddly, anti-climatic. […] About a month ago J, of Germany Doesn’t Suck, announced that today would be the 4th annual International Webloggers Day—and I decided to participate, adding the little button to my sidebar and then promptly forgetting about the event. Needless to say, I was suddenly reminded about it today and discovered it’s theme, “solidarity.” Oddly today […] The Weimar Office, as I’ve told my barista friend, Chicago Anki, is the world’s second best coffee shop (and not in the Dutch meaning). The best coffee shop in the world is in Bloomington, Indiana. It’s name is “soma,” and it is at the corner of Kirkwood and Grant, just downstairs from the Laughing Planet. […] A trip to an American supermarket is an adventure—especially if you’re used to shopping in supermarkets that would fit in the produce section of your typical American Kroger. I hit up the local Kroger yesterday—shopping cart in hand (hey, it’s free! No 1€ coin in the slot for a deposit), and started shopping. I was […] It’s funny how man tries to fight its inner nature. Today I was talking to a 50-some year old Hoosier—and for some reason she revealed that although she is right handed now, it hasn’t always been that way. Back when she was a schoolgirl the schools didn’t want their children to be left-handed—so they yelled […] I don’t know how it happened, but I realized last night on my way to bed that I have had three distinctly gay posts in a row: Candace Gingrich, gay videos, and Indy Pride. I’ll try to slow down the pace—it seems a bit much at this point, if you ask me. I need to […] After being uncertain about my willingness to attend Indy Pride, I threw all caution to the wind, and headed north with Mateo and Chaz to the Circle City and it’s 2007 Pride. This is my second pride event in the United States; the first was Fort Wayne Pride a few years back and was down […] It’s been awhile since I’ve posted bandwidth consuming videos, but in the past week I’ve seen two videos worth sharing. Both of them are gay. First up is a video I found on the Daily Dose of Dave. An ex-expatriate, Dave posted this new take on Bring It On, and I enjoyed it so much, […] Tonight I headed to campus to see a famous person: Candace Gingrich. Ms. Gingrich, brother of Newt, was in town to promote supporting the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act (S. 1105). The bill, recently passed by the house, is headed to the Senate and this event was designed to encourage citizen support, in the form […] |
