The life and times of a pop-culture junkie and music addict living in Arlington, Virginia
I’m on an August Break from my regular blogging schedule. Here’s today’s picture.
We’ve all been these guys at some point in our lives. You get halfway through moving a big heavy object, and need to take a break. It’s nice when the thing you’re moving is this comfortable to sit on.
Do you have any fun moving-house stories?

I don’t cook much in my apartment, but it’s not because of a lack of food choices. It’s because of the space- my kitchen is the size of a postage stamp, barely a kitchenette. The available variety, though- that’s another thing entirely.
The produce here is amazing. Just to give you an example, this is the produce section in the grocery store that I do about half my shopping in.
These pictures are of another small store in the Altstadt. I walk past this store several times a week. The produce here is amazingly fresh and they always seem to have the best. Avocados, strawberries, you name it- it’s all available here.
What would you cook if you had this much fresh produce available to you every day?

When I started thinking about how I was going to fill my August Break with photos, I decided that I wanted to showcase things that are part of my life here- things that are commonplace to me, but that don’t really get into other posts very much. This is a big one- it’s turned up in a few of my posts, but I don’t really focus on it all that much most of the time.
This is the view of my adopted German hometown that I never really get tired of: Looking south from the Stone Bridge over the Donau river, looking toward the Altstadt and the Dom, our amazing cathedral.
I joke that Germany (and Europe) is full of churches the way Georgia is full of Waffle Houses, but it’s still pretty amazing to see them in person.
Do you have a favorite cathedral?

Bees and wasps are a routine part of any outdoor meal here these days. I haven’t had a single meal in the last two weeks that didn’t involve at least one visit from a yellow and black gatecrasher. Maybe I look like a tree or something.
These fellows will move on after a bit if you just ignore them, but it’s still kind of annoying.
Blueberry pancakes at the Early Bird in Stadtamhof. They may look small, but I was definitely not hungry when finished.
Whimsy. Tacos. The DMV.
