backtrack: one month!

wow.
can't believe it's been one full month since my mom visited!
time to update.


we toured potsdam, spent obligatory time with the host family,
and wandered the berlin streets in the last days of collld.
i oftentimes fell asleep on her bed,
stole breakfast from her hotel's breakfast buffet
(pictured above),
went to work and never went 'home' !!!


we also ate an excessive amount
including this pile of meat dinner from schögls
whatever we didn't finish we packed up
and ate later in her hotel room
after stealing plates and silverware from the hotel kitchen.


my mama knows how much i love almdudler.
also that's the last i'll see of my winter jacket for awhile
(she took it with her with the assumption the weather would soon be nice)
((she was wrong!))


i just think she's so cute.


it was a great trip overall and i miss her a lot!
i've kept myself busy since,
but i'll be seeing her again soon enough :)

got these photos via konrad and his Dropbox.
(if you don't know Dropbox get it NOW!)
we use it at work, but it's amazing as a personal tool as well.
between last.fm and dropbox, i barely have time for looking up
bizarre insertions on the internet ;)
anyway...



...looking at these photos,
listening to the Berlin Calling soundtrack,
and thinking of the great meals shared,
really makes me miss Germany already.
two and a half more months before the end!

fleas please

first things first.
went to an awesome flea market this past saturday.
it went on for at least a mile, but i still didn't feel the urge
to buy something i would inevitably toss after the year.
ulli helped me steal a book about fairy tales though,
and by steal i mean let me shove it in her purse and walked away.
good tiiiimes.

twisted

i bonded with my host brother yesterday
by betting whether or not
the taxi guy yellow jacket was
a playable character
in twisted metal 2
aka the best car game ever.
i bet he was.
i lost.
