Situation: You’re on a trip to – let’s say – Darmstadt. You’re already on the train. You have spent the last of your money for those train tickets. You will be gone for the whole weekend. Friday to Sunday. You are with your overly neurotic girlfriend (who, apart from being overly neurotic, is very nice […]

Question for all of you who live two time zones east of here and more: How is 2005 so far? Better than 2004? If not, I might choose to stay when I am. I need a year that’s better than the old one. Like desperately need it. And to all of you: Have a happy […]

…as in no-more-glasses. We just came back from the optician and we both are wearing contacts at the moment. It was Pi’s idea to try contacts and somewhere along the road I decided I wanted to try some, too. I already had contacts for some years until a few years ago when I simply was […]

The title is somewhat an exaggeration. Not the fiends part, the friends part. However, I’m referring to our neighbours. We live in a house with eight apartments, two on each floor. (We’re on second floor (German p.o.v.) or respectively third floor (American p.o.v.), if you want to know.) The apartments on ground/first floor are really […]

So, I really, really wanted to run today. Even the weather forecast promised me some kind of warm weather (warm for this season). I still can’t bring myself to run when it’s too cold. I know that it’s supposed to be even better, but I’m not ready for that yet. Now, how can I run […]

Here’s my brief account of my Christmas days. I won’t go into much detail here since it’s already late and I know myself to know that once I go a little bit into detail I’m already so deep in that it will definitely take me a really long time to finish this post. Friday As […]

So, merry christmas everyone. I suppose that part of you won’t get their presents until tomorrow, but we do celebrate christmas tonight, so I’m all excited and knee-deep in preparations. It’s only going to be Pi and I tonight. My parents asked us if we would like to come over and celebrate with them, but […]

So, I finally have the time to post for my blog and I don’t. Figures. It’s late in the evening and I’m tired and ready to go to bed, so this post is mainly for letting whoever reads this blog know that I have NOT abandoned this blog. I’m still here. This blog is still […]

I’m not even totally kidding. I had no expectations of Darmstadt at all, for me it was just a name of a city south of Cologne and I was surprised how beautiful and interesting it was, or at least those parts of Darmstadt that Anke and Berndt showed us. I’m still amazed. Anyway, it is […]

I’m leaving the office in about 20 minutes and we’re going to Darmstadt. This is like the furthest I’ve been away in the last four years or so. Pity me, please. (Only that it’s completely my fault, since my priorities are ‚Stuff First, Voyages Second‘.) So no time for a long post and no promise […]
