500 mg paracetamol
Love you Germany. Now only if this Tylenol was actually effective.
Sarah: Did you hear that the Friendly Toast is closing down for renovations because they do not meet the health code?
Me: That is really unsurprising.

Sarah: and you also wouldn't have to see the word "hunny" ever again
Sarah: i just want to be like

The only perfect love is love for an imperfect object, for any object. And then the paradox, of course, is that the one great equalizer, the one real universal, is death. So in order to truly love your neighbor, you must forget all his qualities, all that makes him a specific human being, which means that you must treat him as if he is already dead. And my thesis is that this is something which...
Today, while Matthias and I braved the (not quite) hurricane force winds that swept over Berlin, I realized one fantastic way to tell that I no longer live in Prenzlauer Berg. Out of the seven (that’s right, only seven) people who were got on the S-Bahn at my station, six were speaking English and one was in a baby carriage.
Additionally, I get strange looks when pushing a stroller in...
Son of Sylvia Plath Commits Suicide →
Moments ago: “BRILLIANT OH MY GOD! Plath’s son just offed himself!”

Half an hour ago, it was determined that we did the following since waking up, and absolutely nothing else:
eat
sleep
fuck

The answer, apparently, is tonight.
Me (as we leave Goldberg): When did we become those people who go home at two am on a Saturday?

Despite being on the pill,

I decided I wanted to organize my messy iTunes library, and this looked like a quick solution. It was not.
When it was ‘fixing’ my genres, it put a few songs into the category of ‘Dance Stage Musical Rock,’ while others were categorized as ‘Swedish.’ One lucky song was even given the genre ‘Canada.’
The trial version absolutely ruined the information of 50 of my songs. I just spent...

While I was sitting up there, with the cold breeze blowing my hair to the side, inhaling my Camel Light, I felt this eerie calm. This contentment. Like - hey, you have your whole life ahead of you. Shit’s gonna be okay. And I kind of started smiling. And I thought about how incredibly lucky I am, to have everything that I do. To have seen what I have, and blah blah. And to know that there’s...
I am so proud of my little sister.
Getting onto the U-Bahn this afternoon, I knew it...
I put my iPod on shuffle and the first some to play was Radiohead’s cover of Ceremony, followed by LCD Soundsystem’s Someone Great. I switched over to the S-Bahn to pick up M. at Kita, and found that my phone was ringing. J. needed my address to send something, and I assumed that it was some tech-y geek thing for all the obvious reasons. Didn’t think much of it, went and got M.,...

For some reason, I remember last fall and you telling me that the Lidl near your apartment is really ghetto. It’s not just that one, it’s all of them.

Just yell at me or something if I ever manage to forget how awesome my life is again. Things couldn’t be better, and I have to remember that.

What follows is one set of thoughts written from the flight from Boston to Dublin. There were several others, as well as a couple of emails, written during the time period at which my ears were assaulted by young children singing Hanukkah and Christmas songs at various degrees of ambience. Don’t fly Aer Lingus if you want to get any rest.
