Back

I'm back. And I think it'll stay that way for a while now. I've been traveling a lot recently. Had fun with the family on the weekend though.

On Sunday I woke up and my right foot hurt when I put my weight on it. It felt really strange. I decided to join my mom and her sisters for a walk in the countryside on the outskirts of Koblenz in hopes that this would make the pain go away. After two quite painful hours it did get better and almost stopped hurting alltogether. But yesterday evening it started to hurt again and still hurts today. *sigh* If it doesn't get better soon I guess I should see a doctor about it. But I hate doing that. You waste so much time waiting in waiting-rooms.

My cousin gave me 20 odd non-German Euro coins from his collection. He has a complete set from almost every country by now. Even one from Monaco, which is roughly worth 170 Euro. He gave me his duplicates. None from Monaco but there's a 1 Euro coin from Italy which I've been desperately wanting to get :)

Yesterday when we were about to leave for Berlin the exhaust pipe decided to disconnect again. We were lucky to find a mechanic who was willing to weld it back on although he was about to go home when we arrived.

Lots of stuff went wrong yesterday. I bought a very cool pair of Converse Chucks. Now that isn't a bad thing in itself. Problem is, I bought the wrong size. And don't ask me how that happened.

Today we took the train to the far south eastern corner of Berlin to raid the Humboldt University computer science library. They have a much better assortment of books than my uni's library. Only problem is that it takes close to an hour to get there.

welcome back! :D

re: library.
why not get some books to read for the one hour journey?
books about how to make long journeys shorter.
perhaps via the medium of stasis?
suspended animation and all that jazz…
works for me on the way to work in the mornings! :P

ahem

I meant to take a book but then I forgot. But you’re right, taking something to read is essential if you use public transportation a lot. The only problem I have with this is that often I have to switch means of transportation in short intervalls leaving me no real time to immerse myself into a book.

suggestion [no pressure to actually do it]: hire a man-slave to carry you inbetween modes of transport so you can carry on reading uninterrupted.

just a though… :P

Hmmm. Very neat idea. But why only one slave? I want four muscular slaves with oiled skin carrying me in a litter. Oh and they’ll only wear a loincloth. drool
