For the last two weeks (well, since returning from #WEBMU), I’ve been thrilled to host my friend Koko.
Unfortunately she’s returning to the States Sunday morning (departing on an ungodly early flight from Berlin), and I’ve been trying to make the most of my time with her, while keeping up with work and going to […]
About an hour and a half of my train ride today was marred by the presence of a group of about 10-15 football fans—naturally they were drunk and singing football songs in support of their team, something Rostock.
I ignored them until they started beating on the ceiling of the train, which prompted clouds of […]
I’m pissed tonight—in both the British and American senses of the word.

I bought a bottle, brought it home, opened it, and promptly […]
I didn’t mention it in any of the posts I put up Wednesday, my first day back on the net, but Mateo was winging his way back to the states as I posted the entries. He was still flying home when I wrote this entry. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to post it until today, […]
I’ve ordered four gin and tonics, drunk three (one fell on the ground and shattered the glass).
Drunk
Pizza from Joeys with Olives and Mushrooms.
Katya and i had a good night.
Tomorrow is Wandertag: office hiking day. 8:30 to 5:30.
