This copy of i’i shetland is from my visit to the Shetland Islands in 2013. i’i shetland is a magazine clearly aimed at locals – more so than any other magazine of this ilk that I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. The reason I kept the magazine was the “celebrations parties” section at […] This boyfriend was a present from a friend – I think I know which one, but, to be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if a number of different friends had given it to me. As you can see, it will grow up to four times his size in water – so he’s a grower […] When I went to Japan, to Hiroshima, for the first time, back in 2013, I made a point of flying ANA, All Nippon Airways, there. At the time, they flew the 787 from Frankfurt to Tokyo Handea. I came back on Swiss via Toyko Narita. I think the number of times that I have […] A year or two ago I was in a la-di-da kids shop, Kleine Gesellschaft, in Prenzlauer Berg, where I stumbled upon “Berliner Luft.” It’s the kind of kids shop that is so upscale and pretentious that it has its own brand toys. This is, simply put, a bottle of soapy water, complete with one […] I bought this vase in, I believe, December 2018, at the Japanese Christmas Market. The market was held at Malzfabrik, which is located “behind” (sort-of) the Schöneberg IKEA. I went to the market with my two Italian friends – where, generally speaking, we had fun. There were two negative things about the market: first, […] This small collection of Star Trek characters was acquired while I lived in Weimar. These were the toys included with kid’s meals at Burger King – and I discovered that they existed too late to eat enough meals to get all the toys – so I have Scotty, Kirk, Old Spock, Sulu, and Young […] When I left the States to (temporarily) move to Germany, this was a present from one of my wonderful colleagues at Indiana University Bloomington. It lived in my office before I moved to Berlin, in Berlin it lives in my bookcase, catching my eye, bringing me back to Bloomington. It also describes my life […] This is Brandenburg Tor as a toy – one that you fill with sand, compact, moisten, then flip and, voila! Brandenburg Tor has come to the beach. Ignore the fact that it has an incorrect number of pillars – it should be six. I bought this in 2015 in preparation for my around the […] I’ve owned this flag since, I believe, spring of 1998. As I vaguely recall, I bought it shortly before graduating with my MA in Political Science (minor in Environment and Natural Resources) from the University of Wyoming. I cannot say that I ever had a specific plan for the flag, other than to just […] I bought this package of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Colors awhile back: judging from its expiration date of March 8, 2015, I probably bought it in 2014. Given the rainbow, I thought of it as Pride Goldfish – so after eating them, I save the box. In the intervening years, the package has faded slightly […] |
