So today is VD—a day that I can reduce to either “Singles Awareness Day” or to VD—both of which are just simply sad.
Since I am perpetually single, I never had any plans for today, and, unless somebody suddenly sweeps me off my feet (I’m at home) and drags me off to something sweet, I’ll […]
One of those things I remember from my (successful) anti-drug education in elementary, middle, and high school was the constant warning of the dangers of peer pressure. The infamous DARE education has worked, at least for me; just not for society in total.
According to my teachers, the most dangerous person who would be likely […]
This upcoming weekend is the 353rd Annual Zwiebelmarkt here in Weimar.
Yes, the annual event where an insane number of people pour into an area that is quite small. I do not have official figures, but I would guess that over the course of the weekend, 30-40,000 people are all downtown drinking beer, eating Onion […]
It seems like it was only a month or two ago and the sun was coming up at 4am—now the sun is coming up sometime after my alarm time of 6:25, and I’m having a hard time dealing with it.
Such is life at the northern latitudes.
I’ve been on a bread-baking kick of late, […]
Today is Independence Day in Armenia!
I’m going off to the parade, which is at 10 in Republic Square. It should be massive fun. After that I am not sure what my plans are, probably to visit museums in the city center.
Yesterday I mailed 30 postcards (9,000 dram) to points in Europe and North […]
Sunday night I started panicking about my September trip to Armenia. Hotels in Yerevan, the capital city, are more expensive than I expected, although I suspect there is a significant price premium for booking hotels that can be found on the Internet—this is a country where few places have a web presence.
I finally drew […]
Me!

So, since leaving Kyiv, I’ve not really given an overall impression of the city, nor have I completely thanked Katya’s family for hosting me.
Without further ado, I will address the second point:
Dear Katya’s Family:
Thank you ever so much for hosting me over New Year’s Eve. […]
Merry Christmas!! Originally uploaded by elmada.
I’m in Lisbon.
Considering that when I arrived in Lisbon that I knew absolutely nothing about this city—other than the fact that it is the capital of Portugal, it’s remarkable how fast my love affair has grown.
I have absolutely no idea why I was so ignorant about […]
Yes, it’s Masturbation Month again!
I’ll be jerkin it for a good cause– your pledges will help. If you pledge $5 a minute, I promise you it won’t cost you more than $2.50.
Wait…
Cleaning the keyboard.
That will be 50 cents, please!
