I finally get to watch a little bit of the Olympics; I am sad that I missed all of artistic gymnastics (right?), but when it's the Olympics, I find that I can watch most of the disciplins and find them interesting. I want to see Usain Bolt run the 200m tonight ( Read more... )

I am at a crossroads, conflicted and not sure what to do next ( Read more... )

I went skating today in the morning. I drove to the Olympiapark, got slightly lost while getting there, but it was ok. I had taped my bruised big toe to protect it a bit - it was actually ok to skate with, with the exception of toe-jumps. (Ouch! I once stumbled and kind of hit my toe a bit - and that hurt ( Read more... )

Just a quickie post, because I don't feel like writing much. I've safely made it to Munich and got settled in my new apartment - magically, all my stuff fit into the wardrobe (it's a huge one). My first night here was a little fitful, even though it's super quiet here, so sleeping really shouldn't be an issue. Must be the nerves. Today I spent all ( Read more... )

I'm moving to Munich tomorrow, but let me get to that later. I'm watching figure skating right now, so let me comment on that first, because it requires the least brain-usage. Or rather, I'm just watching some of the Men's SPs from Skate Canada.

I just realized that NaNo starts in two weeks... and yet again I won't be participating. I have been planning on giving it a shot for years, but have always found a good reason for not doing it. I need to stop starting new jobs in November, that might help. Not to mention that I should start writing again (the 750 or so words I wrote a few days ago ( Read more... )

Last night in Dublin...
I have officially left my job...
Said my goodbyes...
I'm ready to go.
(And already planning on booking another flight.)

Back to Dublin tomorrow... Fuck, I hope I won't have to stay long. I haven't been worrying too much, but the idea of being there is still not entirely pleasant ( Read more... )

Moving in is much easier and faster than moving out. We had been planning to order & pay a pair of strong men to carry the heaviest pieces of furniture, but in the end we did everything ourselves, because the two men wouldn’t have time until like Friday, and we didn’t want to wait. It was no fun and I ended up with several scratches, and a few ( Read more... )

I am back in Germany and against all expectations I have an internet connection. For real. We're moving into our new apartment now and it's killing me - carrying all this furniture upstairs (3rd floor, very steep staircase) is making me tired, I have small bruises from all kinds of edges, my hands feel a little bit too rough for my taste... I hope ( Read more... )
