Since I’ve been spending more time at home, I’ve been spending more time looking at my things – and I realize now that I actually have very little representing the Berlin that I live in. “With New Eyes” is a notable exception: back on October 29, 2011, I took a tour of Berlin’s hot […] I started October in Stockholm, exploring an incredibly beautiful city. My hotel was near T-Östermalmstorg, a vibrant part of the city. I’d planned to spend Saturday morning taking a free walking tour of the city, but the tour group was excessively large and there was only one tour guide, so I skipped out and […] A random piece of art at Domäne Dahlem. Chickens at Domäne Dahlem. Wheat at Domäne Dahlem. If I were a plant person, I could tell you what this is. Domäne Dahlem is a farming museum for families in Berlin – a nice place for a wander on the […] A couple weeks ago I spent an afternoon after work exploring ModellPark Berlin – Brandenburg. Located in the middle of Volkspark Wuhlheide – or something vaguely in the middle – ModellPark is a collection of something like 60 miniature replicas of buildings from Berlin and Brandenburg, ranging from the places I know, to […] So Saturday I found myself looking at a gigantic picture of what was undeniably a man. With a pussy. Yes, it was a naked Buck Angel, and as I’ve heard him described himself, while listening to the Savage Love podcast, he’s a man with a pussy. Never having seen him naked before (not my thing), […] Yesterday was the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall falling.

King Kong — my drink at the Monkey Bar Yesterday one of my ex-Jena colleagues and still cool friend, AK, arrived in Berlin in order to attend a workshop. Instead of bumming around and wasting her evening alone, she and I met up and bummed around and wasted her evening together. Her hotel – […] Berlin’s fernsehturm — Berlin’s iconic tower. Sometimes photogenic, but not always. The Schӧneberg gasometer – in my ‘hood. Visible for miles. This is Potsdamer Platz on a brilliant Sunday morning. Could not look better. A week ago I popped in to Tastees, Berlin’s Jamaican restaurant, for dinner. Amazingly good food. I’ve […] As I noted two weeks ago, Berlin’s public transportation network includes ferries – and in my first three years of living here, I never had occasion to take one. But then, once I learned that F24 is a rowboat, I decided to ride. And some how, since I rode two ferry routes that back on […] Today was an odd day. This past fall I bought myself a Jack Wolfskin jacket, thus completing a critical step in the process of becoming fully assimilated into Things German®. When I wear it, I become virtually indistinguishable from the thousands of Germans who wear their jackets every single day. It’s a nice jacket, perfect […] |
