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 […] I’ve previously noted that I am not really a jewelry person – and so here is the only ring that I own. Although I rarely wear it, I love it: it is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh Ring by Shetland Jewellery. I bought it on June 1, 2013, paying £739.00. It had to be custom […] |
