Apartment Number!

Hey! You! Stop right there!

If you want to send us letters, postcards, packages, flowers or tacos (oh, please let there be tacos), please tell us first – you’ll need our apartment number for that and we’re not putting it on here. Because CREEPS. 🙂 Seriously, your mail might not get to us without the complete address on there, and we wouldn’t want anything to get lost or ‘returned to sender’. (If that doesn’t make you hum Elvis, you’re missing out. Go hum Elvis.)

Elections, a 700$ Premium, and Pizza – our first month.

I wrote this last night and didn’t publish it. Sometimes it’s better to read things over again. 🙂 But then I figured, what the heck. So here you go. 🙂

I will say this in advance: I should not be writing blog posts after a week of long hours at work, sleep deprivation through evil tooth fairies, moving into a new apartment, and having more wine than an empty stomach should be exposed to. But hey, in for the dime, in for the dollar, as they say. You can’t expect us to be at our Sunday’s best behavior for 8 full months, can you?  Read more

A Story of Missed Opportunities

Disclaimer: this one starts off a bit photography-centered. Just ignore the text, if you’re not interested in that stuff. 🙂

I was so ready to write a huge rant about the Rollei. Because, the photo above? That’s the first one in a series. Great light, with those hard shadows. Great color contrast, the warm house and cool t-shirt. I took six or seven pictures, of Tadzik, Lucja and Kazik. We even dressed them up. We played with the shadows. We had fun. Turns out, the shutter was stuck after that first photo. So it’s not the first one in a series, it’s the only one. Which kinda sucks. Read more

Artsy Fartsy, Because

Today I went to The Lab (that’s really what it’s called) to pick up the prints and scans of a roll of film I gave them. There was supposed to be a few nice pictures. Judging from the prints, there are fewer than I hoped for, but that’s another story. The disc with the scans doesn’t work. So, you’ll have to make do with other random stuff. Sorry.

Suck it up, Google Maps!

Suck it up, Google Maps! I can ride my bike faster than you can. 🙂 (15 minutes to work.)

In less uplifting news, there was no whale for me when I went looking for it today. That is all. Good night. 🙂

Seen one seen them all?

Only yesterday evening I talked to Julian and we agreed, that so far we didn’t find anything in Vancouver we don’t have in Stuttgart as well (including Starbucks 🙂 ).
I even thought I already saw a whale…
