Oh, fickle weather...

Well, it's official. The weather is part of what has me so irritated and stir-crazy here in the land of Bier and Bretzeln. This morning, the weather was actually warm enough to sit outside on my laptop and take care of my daily project crap, and I actually felt content while doing it, without much of an urge to run into town, or into another town, or into another country.

Thus, dear Germany, please continue having nicer days, or at least days with discernible sun. My sanity will thank you.

I am going to a The Faint concert on Wednesday night in Luxembourg City with Amanda, which I am super stoked about. The venue is apparently only about 200 meters from the main train station, and is located in an old auto warehouse.

I also have an invitation from my friend Lea to stay at her apartment in Munich (with her parents, also!) the first weekend of Oktoberfest, September 19-21. I hope to be able to make that work out... not only will it be wonderful to see Lea, I'll be able to say I attended the REAL Oktoberfest! (Though I've been told I should probably really save my money for this... it's an expensive touristy thing... but, it's THE Oktoberfest!)

Oh, how nice it is to FINALLY be able to sit outside again, listening to music, working on German, and having a beautiful view of a lake, baby ducks, a sunny meadow... and a rather pretty emo boy sitting on a bench, writing. ;)

Auf wiederschreiben!

I don't think you should sit on your laptop. It is hard on the screen. Tends to crack them. I could maybe understand you needing to sit on it to keep your ass dry with all the apparent rain you have had there but it sounds like it was a relatively nice day when you decided to abuse your electronics. Or perhaps the weather really HAS pushed you over the edge. I will send you some money so you can buy a portable chair or something. Do you have a PayPal account? Please let me know to what address I should send the money.

BABY DUCKS. You kind of just ruined my day, lovely. While you were enjoying the adorable downiness of baby ducks, I get to spend the next nine hours either in class or work. GUH. I highly doubt there will be baby ducks.

Bahaha! Yes, well, Lappy's ok, and my ass is still dry, so I think that all worked out.

But, if you really DO want to send me money, I take cash, checks, money orders, PayPals, and large shipments of coins.
