fouad found this photo in mika mason's flickr.
this was what, 6 years ago?!
i miss being able to have a ponytail
and for selma to cornrow the sides...
and of course to use my own hair as floss
instead of friends' / strangers'.
look forward to it!
leipzig was fun!
jessica and i had döner, indian food, AND paprika chips.
the only thing missing was almdudler.
i need more almdudler.
i bought a sleeping bag.
i heard too much crystal castles.
i taught everyone drink while you think
and we made a bet after anna was drunk
that she would or would not make out with a bald guy.
next morning we had some pancakes
with peanut butter and nutella.
didn't i mention leipzig was fun?

jessica and i walked down the streets of cologne the other week
and found these gems of people coalesced on the clearing.
if i could do anything nearly as physically amazing as these people
i would be asking for a lot more than people's spare change.
