Yesterday I was out at the Ostkreuz train station – a part of Berlin that I rarely visit because it’s not really between home and work. It’s not actually a place worth avoiding, rather my commute and regular habits really do not involve heading that direction. But I was out there to meet somebody. […] The tracks heading south, as seen from platform 1/2. Not quite sure how it happened, but today is January 18. It’s been a good couple of weeks. I spent New Year’s Eve in Amsterdam visiting friends. Suffice it to say that, when it comes to New Year’s Eve, Amsterdam is pretty much like Berlin. […] This afternoon I couldn’t get into my office – the key just would not turn. No matter how hard I tried. It was a bit inconvenient as I actually wanted to go home, but my coat was still inside the office. Not sure what to do, I popped down to the nearby administrative assistant and […] Seriously. I spent more than a few hours yesterday morning working on a fairly large project at a nearby coffee shop – made lot a great progress. Came home, worked on some other things, mailed off the results, and forgot about it. Until I got an email asking me if I’d done anything. It seems […] This week is great: It started, of course, Monday – I was one of but a few people at the office – and public transport was, essentially, empty.

It’s been, on many levels, an extraordinarily good couple of days – starting with gym crap: I keep going. There are times that I question my sanity, like over the weekend […] Hot tea, iPhone charging, MacBook, and the rest of my home environment. The view from my office window.
[…] My final long-distance guest of the Spring 2011 Guest Season has left the house. It’s been quite a whirlwind few months and I am looking forward to the next month of relative quietness—I do have a guest spending one or two nights in mid-May, but she’s from Weimar and knows Berlin better than I do. […] Half of the challenge the last couple of months has been the fact that whenever I have free time—that is to say, evenings and weekends, I have foolishly overbooked myself. Honestly, I like coming home at the end of the day, cooking dinner, eating dinner, and then relaxing for an hour or two before crawling […] Every weekend since January 8 and 9, I have either been packing for travel, travelling, preparing for a guest, hosting a guest, sick, or, in the case of last weekend, working hard on a project with a tight deadline. This weekend: nothing stressful planned. I took Saturday easy—doing chores that I’ve let go for three […] |
