I’ve had two itinerant visitors recently, the first of which transformed the house next door to me, approximately 15ft away, into a 24×7 crunk-hall fiesta, booooooming in such a way that I could barely hear the internet, or my silly thoughts. That made me mad. I tried the Buddhist thing, I tried to ignore it, […]

Another thing nobody told me about, like currywurst, is this fantastic place called the Container Store. Go ahead, laugh, as you have all been conspiring to keep it a secret from me for years. While everyone else has led perfectly “containered” lives, I’ve been suffering in an agonizing distopia of poorly containered closets, shelves, cupboards, […]

Holland didn’t disappoint, and on Saturday at Waterpop, a large free festival adorned gratuitously with sunflowers and traditional windmill in […]

I did stumble upon a crazy beer festival on Karl Marx Allee, complete with uniformed nuses serving beer to completely *wasted* dudes dancing in silly mock-country mode to “Ring […]

Dude, why didn’t anyone tell me about currywurst? Its like the best hotdog meal ever.
Only have a minute here…in Hamburg now. In Berlin highlight would have been the trip out to Beelitz Heilstätten, the partially abandoned former miltary hospital some 60km outside the city. I had the good fortune to meet some very hospitable Berliners […]

Well, that’d be cool wouldn’t it? If I was heading off on some intergalactic adventure. Fantasies aside, I’m headed to Europe, with Magnapop, for a couple of weeks. If you’re nearby…yo- check it!
