(no subject)
for my last friday night in hamburg we had a "grillparty" in the garden. this involved lots of rothaus pilsner, a few lecker mojitos that had our organic mint that grows on our balcony in them, and germany's best tofu wurst. it was a wonderful evening and we spent it lounging around and eating and laughing while the rest of germany sat in front of their tvs and watched the first game of the WELTMEISTERSCHAFT 2006 (world cup soccer) which, of course, germany is hosting.

hamburg has turned quite insane with all of the excitement of the WM. most cars have 2 german flags flying in the breeze on either side of the doors and people (mostly male football fans) are walking around in ridiculous flag skirts/dresses and red-black-and-yellow streaked faces and big top hats and megaphones that play "jingle bells." i hate it, this overnight patriotism! the people that live below me and nika are annoying us to no end with their wm bullshit...
still counting down the days til i leave...there is now less than a handful left. now is the time i am supposed to be organizing everything and all i want to do is sit on my balcony and listen to ziggy stardust at my favorite deafening volume, counting the cars WITHOUT those damn germany flags, which are mostly taxis with unrecognizable flags. so ja, here's a cheers to procrastination and my last few ducksteins!
