Strive On – The control of nature is won, not given. As I noted at the beginning of February, my entry to the Wyoming Monologues was accepted and will be performed on March 8th at 9pm following a performance of the Vagina Monologues. Writing my piece was an interesting exercise for me, mainly because […] These are good times to be a vegetarian in Europe. Not that I am one, but like most people living in Europe, I’ve been eyeing the ground “beef” with a great deal of suspicion of late. Mainly because it’s not necessarily beef. Amazingly, some products claiming to have ground beef actually contain 100% pure ground […] Guacamole and Chips at Tacos de Mexico So, as I noted in my last post, last Saturday night I had dinner plans – plans involving a long-time reader, 50€, and margaritas!

I was in Prague for a weekend at […] Last night, on my way back from a Berlinale film, I missed the U2 at Alexanderplatz by 30 seconds. Faced with a 15-minute wait for the next train, I made the rational decision that I could afford a taxi, and so I went to find one. I will readily admit that I had not examined […] Tuesday was not a productive day at work: I’d baked two batches of Butterscotch Cookies and brought them to the office with me in order to celebrate my birthday. As somebody who’s worked with a surprisingly large number of colleagues, the German tradition of bringing sweets to the office to celebrate your own birthday is […] This afternoon I couldn’t get into my office – the key just would not turn. No matter how hard I tried. It was a bit inconvenient as I actually wanted to go home, but my coat was still inside the office. Not sure what to do, I popped down to the nearby administrative assistant and […] Back in December, a call for entries to the Wyoming Monologues crossed my path, and I decided to write something. It took me a month and a half to get the text ready – I owe great thanks to, among others, Ian in Hamburg – and submit it. This morning I woke up to the […] |
