In Germany, you don't tip the wait-staff, but you do tip the people who clean the shitter.
I need a digital camera, NOW. I just spent 75 euro developing film. Thats refrickendiculous. Considering I am at that place almost once a week, a digital camera would easily pay for itself before long. Maybe 4-6 months. Maybe less. I'll do a cost-benefit analysis later.
Speaking of pictures, here are a few from the IAA in Frankfurt that I told you about earlier. (It may only be backlogging and so you are only now hearing about it, but here are the pictures none-the-less.)


And there's more where that came from. If you are interested, I could show you sometime.
I bought a jar of pickles on a dare today. A DARE FROM MYSELF!
I hate when you get on the train/subway and there are no seats, but the train isn't full enough to be really full, its just full enough that you have to stand in a damned awkward position so that people couldn't pass you if they wanted but you're the only one blocking the passageway. IHATE that.
I bought several singles today. That was stupid. However I justify it because I don't have access to iTunes or the illegal wealth of music available on the blackweb. I mean intermarket. I bought two German CDs, Christina Stuermer/"engel gliegen einsam" and Juli/"Warum" and two of the most homoCDs I have ever purchased. Even moreso than Maroon 5. God I love that CD. I bought the Daniel Powter/"Bad Day" single and the James Blunt/"You're Beautiful" single.
Do you ever doubt the decisions you've made, the path you've chosen to go down? Do you ever wake up in the morning and say to yourself "What the fuck am I doing?" Its only happened once. And I never did figure out why I was standing in the sink, holding a whole salmon and not wearing any pants.
One of the girls at work quit today. Just before we started to divy up the work for the next six months. I guess its better that way. She decided after a little less than a month that she didn't really want to make tires and that she wanted to be a geologist like she had gotten her PhD to be. I think she may have also wanted to be closer to her boyfriend. That one I can understand.
I am the webmaster for our trainee pool. That sucks and rocks at the same time. I wanted to be the communications monitor, but I have tos hare it with someone else. That kinda sucks. But I guess at least I got half of it.
I almost surrendered my second dinner fork to the floor just now. This eating without a dining room table kinda sucks. In fact, I'm getting really tired of not having any furniture besides a bed and a small rolly table and a closet.
AHHH! Trying to do a radio show like this is a pain in the arse. I want to be able to do a dual show with someone over the interweb, like take callers or some shit like that, but I don't think I can do it with this sound card. Perhaps with a different one, I would be allowed two recording sources simultaneously. Maybe its even possible with this one and I haven't figured it out yet. Maybe its just a software issue too. Maybe I can get some software that will allow me to mix the audio better, but right now, I don't know how.


Yes, those are Conti's on that Maybach. The Maybach is fricken awesome. There is a tiny little Maybach insignia on the headlamp. Thats sweet.
