Well, so much for getting out and seeing places and things. Again I wasted away the day in own my little virtual world--an opportunity always present--instead of seeing the world which I'll only be in for the next three months. I decided in the morning that I would start this weblog and finally had it up and running by dinnertime. Exhausted two or three bloggers before one finally worked, and even then configuring the damn thing was a mess.
Everyone came back tonight and we watched "Spy Game" in English together. The guys and I drank three glasses of 28% Goldkrone mixed with equal parts of red Fanta, an experience which one cannot probably recreate outside of Germany. Matt and Mark seemed about as drunk as I was. This was a surprise, and I guess I have my year as understudy to the great Andrew Hammond to thank for it. Andrew, if you're reading this, I thank you from the depths of my...liver?
