I’ve been reading through our German history curriculum this last week when I wasn’t working, 8 hours of reading poorly copied texts font-size 8 has rendered me a trembling wreck. Nosebleeds from stress and artificially sweetened gallons of coffee that weakens my nerve is beginning to take its toll. But then I probably have a […]

Today is Towel Day! I actually did not wear a towel today, but that was not because I forgot about Douglas Adams’ day, no. It was because Norway’s been struck by an awful heat wave, and Elvis (the dog) completely shut down on our walks, so I can’t be carrying both a towel AND a […]

I handed in my Tysk 1104 exam twenty minutes before the deadline, and we’re having the rest of the day off. Met some friends of C’s from South Africa, had a walk in the sunny park with Elvis, and as I’m writing this C’s getting a BBQ going in the garden. Tomorrow I will have […]

Last week I turned 28 years old, while Lady C turned 29 this week. I had bacon pancakes on my birthday, and Lady C had pork steak on hers. I was very happy to receive a Raspberry Pi computer while Lady C, however, was very sad to receive NOTHING AT ALL. Because I am dead […]

For the three persons following my photostream on Flickr (hi mom!), it will come as no surprise that we have been "blessed" (read: blessed) by the gracious though somewhat sudden appearance of a Boston Terrier puppy named Elvis von Rosenhoff. Elvis was born 20th of December 2011, and came to live with us in our […]

As I barely mentioned before New Year’s, me and Lady C headed to the historically significant 2nd Rome, a.k.a Istanbul, for New Year’s Eve 2011/2012. Here are some of our photos: Not an especially great photo but THE FIRST of many Aya Sophia pictures taken on our evening strolls.. Magic! Just another day in Istanbul, […]

Today is the Sami international holiday. Leave your sincere congratulations in the comments! Btw, I’m available for days-long fist fights in Wordfeud; search for Sigg3.net

I’m getting a job again, since the meager state stipend and student loan just won’t cut it. Instead of returning to the old job, where I am always very welcome, I decided it was time for something new. Allthewhile reading up on modern German History and Literature as well as Syntax, of course. I was […]

We’ve just popped a bottle of Champagne in our hotel room and will soon be leaving for a six-course all inclusive evening at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Blue Mosque, Haga Sophia and the Bosporus strait towards Asia. Thanks for 2011. It was quite eventful, detailed report to follow. But now: belly dancers and kebap! […]

Bollicks to this, I’m off to Istanbul! That’s right, folks. If you’re going to celebrate New Year’s Eve, you might as well celebrate it in the Ottoman Empire. Or the remnants thereof. That’s why me and Lady C are traveling economy class to Constantinople tomorrow at noon! There’s free wifi at the hotel, no viruses, […]
