so yesterday i was riding my bike home from fhain and decided to take a few detours from my normal route. ended up riding by a cafe at zionskirchplatz and literally stopped in my tracks because i saw someone sitting there who i knew. i couldn't place from where. but i instantly recognized him and he looked like some very all-american guy i knew ( Read more... )

i love horoscopes. even though i know they're bullshit (especially those friendster joint horoscopes where you end up with the exact same prediction for every other friend). but they have good entertainment value. and every once in a while, no matter how unpersonalized they are, you get one that by random coincidence is so perfectly timed, you ( Read more... )

as it turns out, i can do a whole lot more than just the running man. but not all my moves are up to standard due to the limited mobility in my ankle. so i tried to do some in the opposite direction, which was the most awkward thing ever. i realized just how dominant my right side is. i mean, being right-handed, of course i can write, snap, etc. ( Read more... )

i still have some trouble walking down stairs. but i found out last night i can do the running man no problem. talk about setting priorities straight.

i don't know why the hell andrea is a girl's name everywhere in the world except for italy (can't the guys version there just be andrio???). luckily i don't travel extensively around italy enough to really be annoyed by it. and just now this phenomenon actually proved to be quite amusing. just got an sms from this girl i met at a friend's party ( Read more... )

today is the first day i feel even semi-recovered from the weekend. it was quite a trip to say the least. gemma's been working on this music festival that took place saturday. she was busy backstage all day (only got to see her once), and after it was over, i just took off with some friends since i figured she'd have neither the time nor phone ( Read more... )

which is why i was especially intrigued by this quiz...

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

gave myself my last anti-thrombosis shot last saturday. what a relief. just one of those things you never quite get used to (it gets easier but never more pleasant). cast came off wednesday. so now i'm back to walking like a "thriller" zombie extra in training. except when i use one of my crutches (which i'm to do when i leave the flat and go out, ( Read more... )

gave myself my second shot today. it was much easier than the first time. this time i did it during the commercial break. and so i wouldn't sit there holding the syringe forever, i told myself i had to do it before the program came back on. wasn't too bad. maybe tomorrow i can get myself to do it without biting down on a towel (sort of my security ( Read more... )

right after sxsw, i dragged gemma to a roller derby. besides it being the total texas americana experience, it's sheer rock n roller entertainment (and if i were still living in austin i would sooo be among the likes of punky bruiser and veruca assault). so anyway, fun was had and the whole thing got me all nostalgic about my junior high days in ft ( Read more... )
