mid-yearsies

so i had my mid-year seminar in Cologne like a month ago (even though it feels longer).
i met some more people from the program, caught up with some old ones,
ate a lot a lot a lot of indian food, and avoided the computer the whole time.
it was a pretty nice change! i slept very little and sometimes in a train station, which is not a change but still okay.
i didn't take a dump outside, but I need to at some point to complete the year.
some awkwardness ensued, but the details are pretty lame.
and i didn't see frau beerbaum, and i hope she's not dead on the couch.
anyway good trip good trip.


murray and mark happened to be there for a sofa expo, and i saw this amazing fat guy stuffing his face. STUFFING HIS FAT FUCKING FACE! love it :)

Wenn im Puff...

i thought puff translated as smoking puff
and i expected this play to be about smoking pot
but puff means brothel in kölsch
so i had a much different experience than anticipated!

the actors were ridiculous
the plot was typical mistaken identity,
men being handcuffed together in their underwear,
the corpse of a rich old lady being stuffed into a chest,
you know, the usual.

i really enjoyed it!
it was featured in the newspaper this morning, too::
