Sometimes it is in random moments that things said to you years ago make sense. For example, I recall once listening to my paternal grandmother complain about the address of her apartment in New York City. “I’m so disappointed in whomever picked the house number. Why 4709? It could have been named after a cologne!” […] Fuck. Twenty-two years. Time is so fleeting – how the hell have 22 years passed? I write this from my new home, still in Berlin, but some 7 kilometers from my old home. One of the things about moving is that you must sort through all your belongings, even though you’ve forgotten that you own. […] I bought the above bracelet in 2013 while visiting New Mexico – the same trip when I bought Whatchamacallit 18: the Navajo Plant Dye Chart and Whatchamacallit 92: Navajo Turquoise Bracelet. This was bought at a place where you really can be in four places at once: Four Corners Monument. Surely I didn’t pay […] I’ve visited New Zealand twice. Once. Both visits were part of my 2015 around the world adventure – before and after Samoa and American Samoa. It depends how you count “visit” – the first was 7 hours, the second was 25.5 hours. I could look it up, but I am too lazy to do […] I bought this thing in 2010, shortly after moving into my apartment in Schöneberg. Throughout the year, as postcards and greeting cards arrive, I fill it up – then in late November, I take everything down and start the process anew. For reasons that will become apparent, I’ve had to undertake this process a […] I bought this hat from a shop in Laramie, Wyoming. I have no idea how long ago, how much, or which shop. The shop did have a small selection of goods made from buffalo wool, including coasters, which I keep in my living room. The hat was also there. Given the difficulties of obtaining […] A dear friend re-gifted me this XXX Pepper shaker as soon as the person who gave it to her left the house. The friend’s friend cockily assumed that the friend wouldn’t mind a pepper shaker with, “Love From Amsterdam” written down the side of the shaft shaker (not visible in this photo). What a […] This is the other bottle of whisk(e)y that I bought while in New York City last Christmas (see: 97, Bull Head Bourbon). Distilled in New York City – Brooklyn (King County) to be precise – Kings County Distillery is, apparently, the oldest (and largest) distillery open within the city limits: it was established in […] I saw this game for sale at the Winterfeldtmarkt – for several months – and I was intrigued. So I bought it. I do not know how much I paid, but I would imagine 20-30€; roughly what the game appears to sell for today on Amazon. I will say, one of the things that […] A few weeks ago, I posted Adam, 1977, a magnificent piece of art that I cannot bring myself to throw away, even as I hide it in a drawer, unsure of what exactly I am supposed to do with it. Here is the sequel. The only comment my Mother made upon giving this to […] |
