couch potato chips

living with friends (elaine and konrad),
not traveling 2.5+ hrs every day,
not having to eat packwiches,
not having to sneak around after 11 pm
(since people actually are night active),
playing my music, saying whatever,
feeling comfortable and being myself
(without having to listen to the drone
of a television or the hum of a computer screen
masking misery in the background)
is all so much better that i could have expected!

my regional rep called my work today to chat.
she wants to meet tomorrow for lunch and
it'll be interesting and challenging not to bring up
the fact that these former hosts were nothing but
boring couch potatoes who find jokes about
the physically disabled hilarious.

time to smear or time to cheer?

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!
