At my new home, this piece of art no longer hangs directly in view from my working position – so it is no longer something I stare at continuously. I previously featured 38 Days in my blogpost Whatchamacallit 152. Now I see it whenever I leave my bedroom. It still resonates, as a testimony to […] Since moving to Europe, I’ve become used to the fact that my banknotes change size and color as the values change. However, other than noting that I’ve visited Spijkenisse, where the Euro-note bridges went from fantasy to reality, I do not think that I’ve ever discussed the Euro notes. Simply put, the notes are […] In the near-ish future, I will be picking up my eAT – the elektronischer Aufenthaltsitel – that will be permission for me to stay in Germany a bit longer. The eAT format is a credit-card sized document that includes a chip that contains biometric identification information. Providing this led the most amusing moment of my […] I neither got around to reviewing the second Eurovision semi-finals, nor to discussing the Eurovision Finals – badAdam. I have a good excuse: I was exhausted and any free time I had this weekend, I was asleep. Friday’s super early alarm (4:30, after 5 hours of sleep) in combination with a late evening (home past […] A week or so ago I got my first 2€ coin that celebrates 10 years of the Euro. ECB's info on this special coin. I have to say that I cannot help but wonder if this is, indeed, the moment to be celebrating the Euro.

I just knew that it was something awfully important and awfully fun. It took a few more minutes for me to realize that it was also awful: […] I have to say that the current cold has come and gone with incredible speed—I actually feel alright. My only problem is the laryngitis—which is easing. Yesterday I couldn’t talk at all. Today I’ve managed two phone conversations—which is two more than I planned on, but I was able to make some understandable utterances. I […] I’ve already given it away with my title, but for those of you who care, this is Eurovision week! Yes, it’s time for a week of campy and trashy Europop music with an added dose of inter-country rivalry! German TV Details 1. Halbfinale am 12. Mai 2009 ab 21:00 Uhr bei PHOENIX 2.
