My cat turned five (
here he is in a bag), the application for the studio apartment I'll be living in in Santa Cruz was sent yesterday, and I've made the flight arrangments for my return to California on August 20th.
Also, I found a book yesterday in a big pile of books abandoned on a bench in the university which turned out to be a first edition printed in 1987, I'm almost out of money, and I'm going to Göttingen this weekend to see Nathan.
Unrelatedly, the weather has been largely overcast and muggy (though warm), there's a man who sits in the underground station at Heidelberger Platz and plays Bach music on an accordion, and yesterday when I was on the train a woman started ranting to no-one in particular about how when you're beautiful you have a lot of frustration but if you're fortunate like she is you also have a lot of friends (she wasn't actually all that beautiful and her clothes were horrid).
