All about Ohakune (11 Feb)

I really, really should update this blog more often! Forgive me for I have sinned, it’s been a week since my last update and all that… but there’s SO much to do here!! Well, I guess I’ll just have to dig deep into my memory banks and see what I can come up with. Accuracy is not guaranteed, but excitement is, as we cycle up the Old Coach Road, and wander across Ohakune some more.

Just one of those weekends…

You know, one of those weekends where you have big plans, but in the end you just stay at home, sleeping late and being too lazy to even consider going to one of the many parties that I could have gone to (ok, ok, concerts – I’m not the type that gets invited to many parties). The snow didn’t help much either – even going to the gym was an ordeal, and then I had a flat tire to boot!

Oh well, I finally got to play some guitar again (although the deep cut I made in my index finger is making life tremendously difficult in that regard as well), saw Crossroads (not the Britney Spears one!), The Hangover, Charlie Wilson’s War, and, at the urging of The Nostalgia Critic, The Rescuers Down Under. I also thought some very deep thoughts about my thesis, and now I know what I am supposed to do again, so I guess it wasn’t a TOTAL waste, but still … it’s one of those weekends that just leaves you feeling slightly guilty. At least I didn’t have a hangover.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR (and we’re off to a SWELL start) (Old Website Articles VI)

Originally published on 6 April 2009, my first, and hopefully last, run-in with Berlin law enforcement is chronicled here. Contrary to what I found on the internet, the total fine amounted to EUR 123,50. I still think about it every time I pass that street…

First post! (Old Website Articles I)

So this is the first post I wrote on the first version of my website, when I foolishly thought that I could manage an entire site in HTML. To be fair, it did not even look that bad, it was just too much work to update it… but, for completeness’ sake, here it is…
