Inadequate Feeling

Wednesday night it was late and I was having a post-dinner drink with Monsieur Namur.

We were at a very nice French restaurant located in the heart of Rotterdam, located a few short steps from my hotel. Over the course of the evening I’d started with three pre-dinner white beers, followed by two glasses of […]

On My Shelf

Recently Snooker asked me what was on my shelf—so after my energetic cleaning efforts of the past week, I have an answer.

Three, actually.

By The Bed

Ok, strictly speaking this isn’t by my bed, but opposite the foot of my bed—these are the books that are currently at home. Most of my books […]

Cleaning Change

As I was cleaning, both at home and at work, I found a lot of my spare, leftover, change from my travels—a grand total of 44.75€ in total. The dominate source: the States with 17.09€.

I used to go out of my way to get rid of my excess currency as I left the country […]

Tide’s In, Dirt’s…

Honestly, I have no idea what bug has infected me, but after spending Sunday afternoon cleaning my bedroom, today I headed to the office and picked up cleaning it, where I had left off a couple weeks ago.

Maybe the cleaning is happening because Snooker tagged me last week and I want the photo(s) I […]

In Gear Again

I’ve been busy this past week—my time up in Berlin generated enough blog entries that I decided just to go with the pre-written flow instead of writing new stuff.

What you get now falls into the “Random Tidbits” kind of collection—but these are all things that have happened or occurred to me in the past […]

Noch ein, bitte?

Gay Berlin is amazing.

Like any reasonable first world major city, Berlin has a vivid and vibrant gay scene that is all inclusive and diverse. If you like twinks, there are lots of twink bars; if you like Turks, there’s Gayhane night once a month at SO36; and if you like punishment, well, there’s a […]

Boy Meets Hero

I bought several books while in Berlin—including the newly released hardbound comic book, Boy Meets Hero.

It’s a comic book about a closeted gay superhero and his boyfriend—and it’s actually rather endearing. I’ve linked to the comic’s website from my homepage for awhile now because I liked the story. It’s a simple tale of romance, […]

Big Berlin

It wasn’t that long ago that I didn’t love Berlin.

And actually, I still don’t love Berlin. It’s not that Berlin isn’t a fun city, it is, it’s that Berlin is enormously large and, as the BVG promotes, it takes only twenty minutes to go from the Berlin Zoo to Alexanderplatz—basically going from the center […]

Dinner at Perlin

Friday night I met Snooker for dinner at a charming little wine bar named Perlin.

Being American, we arranged to meet extremely early at 6:30. I had picked the time under the vague impression that we could have dinner and that afterwards I would go out dancing and have a late night. Unfortunately our agreed […]
