Reading (For Dummies)

Partay'ing some more, etc

Sorry for the delay in updates. I'm actually much better than this, but I have an excuse.

Ow...

On Friday I broke (well I've downgraded the status to "really badly sprained") my middle finger. I can type again and move it around a little, but it hurts if I actually have to do anything forceful with it. So playing guitar is out. I'd like to give a shout-out to Drs Bisignano, Stone, and Farren for the toothbrush/fingersplint. Now I have a teeny tiny toothbrush head. I'll keep it for hiking.

Also after rock climbing on Friday, I went to Ferri's place, where I was again extended an invitation to join his fraternity. That would be pretty funny....Initiation involves fencing. You have to fence a live opponent, the top of your head and your eyes are protected but your face is left vulnerable to slashing and I suppose scarring. US Frats have lost their gusto. Or their bollocks.

Saturday was Christmas shopping (actually didn't get much shopping done...). And a partay at night.

Nick with his Polish fly-girls

Nick is the American bloke that I mentioned earlier. He's in Dresden studying to be a translator. His German is flawless, and I'm told he can speak a peck of French as well. He and I gabbed a bit in English. I also met the best German english speaker to date, Thomas, who was originally from Hungary. We gabbed a while too, about visas and things.

Some of Bob's homegrown

After much vodka and a bit of the above, it was 3am and time to go home. I missed meditation this morning...ohwell. Next time, Gadget, next time....
