it's the day after christmas (in germany there's two christmas days, dec 25 & dec 26) and i'm at work. one of only about 9 dumbasses who didn't take the week off. half of our floor is completely dark and empty while the rest of us leftovers are scattered throughout the large room, individually inhabiting our cubicle islands. i'm the only intern ( Read more... )

uggghhh, so monday night i had to call the emergency service doctor to make a house call. had a huge headache all day, then that afternoon i got the chills. went to the doctor tuesday morning and they sent me home for the week (apparently i was infected with some ugly virus that my body's in the process of dispelling). so now i'm stuck at home for ( Read more... )

so tuesday night interpol played in berlin. ended up not bidding on any of the ebay tickets b/c of financial reasons (re: tgid/the luck that wouldn't run out). but i found out that they were having an after-party/gallery opening in xberg after the gig (with portrait prints by shepard fairey). i figured it would be cool to at least check that out, ( Read more... )

asked tabea what the hell we were listening to saturday night. apparently, at least half a megadeth album (this must've been when we started the freeman drinking game). i also just remembered. bruce springsteen (i sang along). but i wasn't dancing to that (a la eric prydz "call on me") when i got the carpet burns on my knees. to which song that was ( Read more... )

omigod. saturday night was cray-Z! met up with tabea and took the s-bahn all the way over to charlottenburg b/c chris was having an impromptu party set up so he could meet the new gf of one of his friends. we were the first to get there and promptly started drinking and dancing. then karl showed up. more outrageous dancing to the random likes of ( Read more... )

at one point i used to wash my hair once a day. but in the past year or so it's gone down to about once a week. partly b/c of the colder climates i've moved to, it's a huge time-save in the mornings, and also because i really like my hair better with the sort of unkempt, just-outta-bed look. when my curls are too perfect i just look like an ( Read more... )

so i spent my entire lunch break (plus i was an hour late getting back to work) going over to the bvg to show them my valid transportation pass for the month of december only to end up having to pay the 40 EUR after all (which i could have easily done with an online bank transfer). apparently, what the guy told me was absolutely wrong. of course i ( Read more... )

...because november was *not* my month for public transportation (i know, random topic). my mom came to visit and spent the second to last weekend with me before taking the train down to my grandparents. last friday i also took the train down so i could spend the weekend with the whole family. well, i had the brilliant idea of taking the train that ( Read more... )

so pissed at myself. missed interpol in september b/c they were playing a gig in berlin the same night of my school's end-of-the-quarter party (which at the time seemed kind of mandatory but was a total waster). so i swore to myself that i'd see them when they came back to berlin in december. well, december kinda crept up on me cause it didn't even ( Read more... )

was working in illustrator all day, and now i'm supposed to help come up with radio spots. just brain-storming random car-related stuff, and instead of writing down "10-car pile-up" i wrote down "pilot." and instead of "...in your car," "...in your call." hhmmmm....whatever part of the brain controls language, i'm losin it.
