Fighting the Work Bug

Getting out of the house is an increasingly hard thing to accomplish as studies and work ramp up for the last haul of the semester. The other cat from the states swung by for some fresh made chicken before heading to Braunschweig for a couple of cocktails.
Wait…let me back up for a second.
Welcome to […]

Rolling Back the Fog of War

Since it’s nice out again, I decided to take a little stroll though some foreign parts of Wolfenbüttel.
You’ll have to click to get all of this one since it’s mainly pictures

I missed my bus coming back from the Fachhochschule so I ended up walking back. It’s about 30 minutes by foot.

On the way back […]

First of All…Someone Said Stop

I’m going to keep this one simple.
Good weather, happy:

happy statue…

happy strollers…

bad weather strikes suddenly… (click for sound)

no more strolling…
possibilities now include working, surfing (not that kind), and making blog posts about the weather

Sherrit als Putz Frau

First of all, happy birthday, my South African buddy!
Yesterday we had a little get together for Sherrit’s 22nd B-day. The festivities progressed nicely the entire evening but as things drew to a close, somebody tossed a Döner out the window. I won’t say how or who but today Sherrit made a guest appearance […]

Herr D.S.H.

He’s lawless, he’s well read in two (approaching three) languages, quite the lady’s man, and perhaps the next inductee into the highly exclusive group of people who’ve passed the D.S.H. (Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang ausländischer Studienbewerber). He is……Raul.

For those of you not familiar with this test (i.e. anyone who doesn’t have to live […]

Slipping Into Sanity

Perhaps I’m dillusional today but these Corn Pops just don’t look right…

They’re perfectly round! American Corn Pops are all goofy looking. Some are ovoid behemoths while others appear as though they’ve been out in the sun too long. Ladies and Gentlemen it is this unpredictability and individuality which makes the American Corn […]

Finally Feeling Freshly Fatigued

I’m finally on the decline of a panic attack week. I had two math tests this week which will give me a good idea of how I’m doing in my classes. They’re both nasty little courses which each meet for 3-blocks a week. It’s roughly the equivalent of taking 12 credit hours […]

Get Perpendicular

I know anyone who checks slashdot or boingboing will have already seen this but it’s just too unbelievable. Hitachi has been working on expanding magnetic storage into the 3rd dimension. They’re so excited about their proof-of-concept working that they’ve endulged the evilest of fetishes and made a 70’s style disco flash animation about […]

Forecast: Good Weather Until I Say “Stop” … ok, GO!

The past week here has been fantastic for weather. We’re getting back in the spring/summer range again and it’s good for the attitude when you’re busy as … well… really busy.
Brandon had the hot idea of doin a little grillin’ last weekend. Well done, sir. Well done. I believe 40-50 chickens […]
