It’s been awhile since I blogged.
Sorry.
But moving takes effort – and I have had both awesome experiences (KaminPalast, Dielerei), ones where things have taken longer than expected but turned out awesome (KD Küchenstudio), and one utter disaster.
Holzconnection, a purveyor of custom made furniture has failed me ever since I signed the contract.

In July I wrote about Berliner Luft, the soap bubbles.
Now it is about Berliner Luft, a peppermint liquor that is best not drunken.
However, 2.5 years ago I bought this bottle to celebrate the fact that I’d purchased some “Berliner Luft,” as in a few cubic meters of air high in the sky.

I’ve never worn this hat.
This was a giveaway from the BVG – Berlin’s public transit agency – during Berlin’s Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) several years ago. Which year, I cannot recall.
The hat folds up tightly and neatly into the yellow bag on the left, along side the whistle in front.
I […]
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 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 […]
Servant. Cum Dump.
I picked up these two buttons last fall during the Berlin Porn Film Festival, an annual orgy of respectable pornography.
They were offered for free in the gender-neutral bathroom that included urinals. I never checked out the gender-neutral bathroom that lacked urinals to determine if they were being widely distributed.

I bought this piece of art at the Winterfeldtmarkt a few years ago – I have no idea how much I paid for it, but it was probably 20€ or less.
The backside has a small sticker indicating it is from Jannis Miniaturwelten, Berlin, along with the URL: http://www.jannis-miniaturwelten.de/ — which still works.
I […]
I acquired this wristband thingy whilst riding the Lady Gaga truck at Berlin CSD (Pride) 2011.
If it weren’t for the fact that I keep it on a shelf that I see out of the corner of my eye, I probably would have tossed this years ago. Its main purpose is to remind me […]
So, I bought this particular pair of Bluetooth headphones awhile back – sometime last summer. I have no idea how much I paid for them. However, I paid 15.99€ each for two backup sets at the outbreak of the Covid-19 Crisis because I was worried that if this pair broke (and they will, one […]
