my mom says i should update this.
well, i'm down to my last three days with the family and am very excited about it.
my dad gets into town on friday, my sister on sunday. sunday we're having a big 4th Advent celebration with lots of relatives, and the on christmas its just going to be immediate family. I might be heading down south to bavaria towards the end of next week, but that depends on how persuasive my sister is.
sorry about not writing christmas cars or sending special gifts to everyone. 1) I'm too lazy, and 2) shipping things from germany to the us is crazy expensive.
so very few will be getting cards.
Hellen, when you see till sometime remind him to give you your b-day/christmas candy. because you are pretty much the only one getting anything.
well, it's off to the "Buergeramt" for me to do my "Ameldung". yeah.
If I don't write again before Christmas: Frohe Weihnachten!

just some quick pictures:

and my best friend growing up and me. she was in town for a few days so we got to catch up and it was really fun.

new picz LOL LMAO

it's been snowing off and on since friday. most of it melts during the day, but it's still pretty exciting. saturday night i went out with two friends and we got caught in a bit of a snow storm as we were leaving the bar. it was pretty crazy, within ten minutes a couple of cm of snow had fallen. the bad thing about snow is that's it's really rally cold (maybe even freezing...), so i've been bundling up as much as possible.
i just wanted to post these pictures from the okkervil river and shearwater concert last week, and then some from this weekend.
does anybody even look at this? oh well, i'll pretend you do.


this was last night at intersoup, a really neat bar/asian food restaurant.


we got caught in the snow...



that's all.

i had a pretty fun weekend, friday night i went out to a club with some friends. it still throws me that bars don't ever close, you end up staying out way later than intended. saturday my friend steff had a party. it was really fun and german. from 90s pop to david hasselhoff, just like you'd imagine.
today i've just been relaxing and reading comics. here's a couple of pictures.

the new watchmen trailer is AMAZING!

stammtisch

last night i went to the weekly "new in berlin" stammtisch (gathering involving drinks), and it was pretty fun. last time we were about 25 people, this week it was up to 50. we got kicked out of the first bar, but found another place that had enough space for everyone.
so here is some pictures of that. apparently i use my hands a lot while talking. other than that i just try really hard to look like a total nerd.



got my hair dyed today. it's darker now, still reddish, or brown, i don't know.
can't wait for tomorrow night, except i already got drafter for babysitting friday and saturday night. but once the kids are in bed i can go out.

weekend 2.

i had a good and relaxing weekend. friday night i stayed at my grandparents and hung out with my aunt, and my bff michel.
this is him.

my gandpa and me also took some glamour shots.

saturday night i met up with my friend steff and we got a few beers in prenzlauer berg and it was really nice to just talk and hang out. it's good to know that i have people out here i can just hang out with. other than that i don't have much to tell right now, but i'll keep updating if something happens.

oh, and jesse, can you believe it lights up!? beautiful, huh?
