When your life is falling apart at the seems, what do you do? I have two half papers written, but both are pretty bad by my standards. I am not entirely sure why I feel like crud, no wait that is a lie. I know why, but I am not sure I have any control over my world, so I choose instead to pretend I don't know why. I will feel better after Thursday ( Read more... )

So I haven't posted in along time. This is par for the course. I am not going to engage at length the question of what I have been doing because I have been so busy already that I am not sure I know anymore ( Read more... )

AHH! The Decemberists against Stephen Colbert! That is right ladies and gentlemen, Stephen Colbert has accepted the Decemberists challenge to a guitar solo competition, read about it at pitchfork media. Wow, I know what I am doing the 20th of December ( Read more... )

Today, I was leaving the downtown after doing some Christmas/souvenier shopping and I saw a Starbucks and I thought: "Oh I shouldn't get Starbucks now, I'll just pick up a cup of Coffee at the Paradox on my home." Wow, was I seriously confused for about 10 seconds there, or what? It is ok though because I am going to be travelling soon and I doubt ( Read more... )

So, Team. I have been bad. Despite me regular reading of journals and even posting of comments, I have not actually posted anything about myself. This post will be basically more of the same. I am only reporting that I am well, Berlin is awesome, I miss my Lady friend, and I proceed to the rest of the important part of Europe (Read England and ( Read more... )

Happy Unification Day from Germany. Today is a national holiday in Germany and like the 4th of July is often celebrated with fireworks and excessive drinking. I am doing well here in Germany although I find that I am missing a certain lady friend in Seattle a lot. I am also missing the rest of you folks at Reed. I was happy but also sad at the ( Read more... )

Hello the Peoples of Reed. I am suffering through my first cold day here in Berlin. I am reminded very strongly of Portland. I have been enjoying the cultural atmosphere here greatly. Last night I went to a Jazz club and it was awesome. The music was not really my thing seeing as it was contemporary Jazz which, when it was played by good people (as ( Read more... )

Here I am in the cold fog of a late summer day in Berlin. It is actually not that cold, probably mid-60's, but considering that yesterday it was sunny all day and then about 75 until 10pm, this is a big change. So I am currently attempting to make friends with my classmates and have located a few potentials, but generally they strike me in there ( Read more... )

Comrades! I wish to report that I am not dead of a tragic surfing accident off the French Coast despite the fact that rumours to this affect have reached my ears. I am in fact alive and well in Berlin. I have been very touristy and spent a ridiculous amount of time learning the public transportation system here. Visited several palaces and churches ( Read more... )

It has been some time since I wrote to this journal. Tomorrow I leave the country. At fuck all thirty early in the morning. I am actually quite scared of the whole trip. The whole alone and without allies is what is getting to me. I am a person who really requires the presence of my friends and I won't really have any of that. Kind of terrifying, ( Read more... )
