It’s American Week at Lidl

I owe a debt of gratitude to Yelli for the warning that Lidl’s American Week started today. I popped into my local Lidl to see what was on offer–and amazingly I could sort of see a connection for most items to America.

Actually, I lie.

Doritos, ok. Brownie, ok. Amerikaner, not really.

The pretzel […]

MacBook Wallpaper

Today I updated my MacBook’s wallpaper. It’s not that I didn’t love my first self designed wallpaper, its just that it was old. Feel free to steal these–these are optimized for my 13″ MacBook and have 1280 x 800 dimensions.

Here’s the new wallpaper, which I took whilst on vacation in Antalya:

Quelle Surprise!

Today’s been a day I never expected to happen – at least not this quickly. This morning somebody I know told me something in confidence—so I can’t share—but suffice it to say I was blown away by the news.

Anyhow, I’ve been having a very busy weekend and week: After a brief lull where I […]

Eurovision 2010: Strangest Song

Happy Männer Tag & boy isn’t ignorance bliss!

Today is, as Germans formally call it, Christ travels to heaven day, which turns into Men’s Day, the day that German males wheel cases of beer into the forest, drinking the beer as fast as they can and getting trashed as quickly as possible.

It is a little known fact, but 97% of the men […]

Three Travel Notes on Antalya

I can sadly report that I am back home in Weimar after a 3 and a half hour flight from Antalya.

Here are three quick thoughts about my trip.

First up, I flew Sky Airlines; an airline I’d never heard of before. I found the airline after Michele commented that I should take a flight […]

Boy am I glad that I…

Switched from shorts to pants while waiting to board the plane in Antalya.

I’ve gone from hot to cold. From sunny to cloudy. From clear to thunder and lightening.

More tomorrow.

Today I did nothing. And I did it very well.

Here, unabridged, is what I did today.

08:00 Woke Up to people eating breakfast outside my window.

Spot the diver.

09:15 After shower, I joined people and ate breakfast outside my window.

10:00 I tried to confirm my plane reservation home, but that did not work.

10:20 Arrived at post office and […]

Antalya at Evening

It’s been a very lazy Sunday. Plus an aside on my Side trip, etc…

Watching the passing boats.

My big actions of the day: a walk through the historic harbor areas and a long afternoon nap.

Yup, that was my big day. I’d originally planned on finding the beach, but it was rainy in the morning, and after the sun came out, it didn’t really stay out and […]
