Moonlight wasn’t so bad. It will be cheesy-ish but it looks better than a lot of what’s on television. I thought it was better than Bionic Woman, ha. The reviewer was completely right — it kind of rips off of Buffy/Angel in a pretty downright obvious way, but the lore of the show seems more [...]

Yet another weekend spent doing anything but what I’m supposed to be doing. I keep telling myself: it’s just about mid-semester. (March 8th.) It’s okay. I have plenty of time to catch up and crack down on the workload to finish the semester—and my college career—with a bang. It’s all right, I remind myself. The [...]
Valentine’s Day

It’s Valentine’s Day. This is my third year — ever — with an actual Valentine. Not the third grade Valentines who can be pretty much your entire class, or the high school Valentines when you obligatorily send everyone you’re friends with a red rose through the Key Club because they promise they’ll send you one, [...]

Schloss Nymphenburg!
(There’s a current debate in Germany about the use of the letter “ß”—“ess-set”/“scharfes-s”—instead of “ss”; it has little to do with pronunciation, apparently, and more to do with keeping an ancient letter versus making things in the technological age easier, from what I’ve understood.)

Freitag, 7 Juli, 2006:
Friday was the Hofbrauhaus! (*dances a jig*) Oh. Yes, I do need to tell you about it, I suppose. Yes. The Hofbrauhaus is a fantastically interesting place. But I haven’t actually sat down to write about it yet. *sigh* It’s extremely annoying to not have a desk lamp that works because when [...]

Thus starts the first of my many catch-up posts. Click to the left as you go to find the post you haven’t read yet, as it’ll be the easiest way to keep track.
So last night was the Stammtisch, which as far as I can translate from “Stimme” and “tisch” means something like “people having fun [...]
Biergarten! Or, How I Celebrated My 4th of July.

I hadn’t really thought about it being the 4th of July until when checking my email yesterday and noticed the date. Perhaps it was because it was Tuesday, and perhaps it was because I’m in Germany (I mean, seriously) it had totally slipped my mind.
Anyway, the Biergarten! I met at the Institut at 18 Uhr [...]
