I just participated in my first pub quiz (at Macs)…I wasn’t planning on it, but after my weekend I didn’t want to sit at home so I mosey’d to mac’s for dinner and was about to leave when i was invited to the pub quiz…we’ve talked about pub quiz for months and so I decided why not join…It was actually quite fun…with a little help from Mona I managed to finish in the top half…considering the number of questions on Europe, art, literature etc. I thought i did rather well…I did however get the question wrong about which president imposed prohibition and which one ended it…however I have to ask (now) if a president really had power to do that, or if it was in fact congress that would have done that…regardless…if I had known who was president during 1920 and 1933 I would have gotten the question right…I think my answers were wilson and roosevelt, but those were wrong…anyways…

i just managed to write the longest paragraph ever about basically nothing…

in post production i see that Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo is…being… post produced…(wow!!!! draw your own conclusions about that last sentence…. that is quality)…
Neil Patrick Harris is in it…can’t wait….

I can’t believe I was in London last Monday…seems like ages ago…

So it’s some religious holiday today so Hessen is closed down. My building is empty. It seems the whole inner city empties out on bank holidays.
luckily (***) over in the square there’s some religious americans singing…great…who’s bright idea was it to spend money bringing over americans to sing to the asian tourists in the square….money well spent. Why don’t you send them to Eng a lund or something…

Other things I learned this week….
Hammocks rock!!!!
Little Timmy is the greatest player in Europe…and he’s not a donkey.
Italians only play football to dry their greasy hair.

Had a discussion last night on who would win a fight between a Ninja and a Pirate. After a bit of consideration it becomes obvious that the Ninja would win easily.
Assume both had weapons…the Ninja has stars, and the Pirate has 4 single shot pistols…He would have not chance to reload…He’s probably drunk, has one good leg and a patch and a hook…even if he wasn’t drunk the odds are that the ninja would get the first shot off, and I would trust the ninja with one shot rather than the crooked pirate with one shot…If it got to hand to hand combat even with the hook the pirate would have a disadvantage…I would say 8 times out of 10 the Ninja wins in a room with no obstructions and if there were obstructions (say on a pirate ship) the ninja would win 98% of the time.
in retrospect it’s a silly question because the two are not evenly matched. Even a kid can win at horsehoes once in a while (infinite monkeys at infinite keyboards…).

I’m glad that adult people can have conversations like this…

The brits are gone…
My friends Vikki and Clinton came from London. I took over my flat from Vikki and so we kept in touch and now they came to visit again. Since we had such a great time on their last night here. I think there was some drinking involved. Clinton got sick cuz he’s weak…

So this weekend we went to the xmas fair, the Irish Pub, the Irish pub and the Irish Pub. At least the barkeeps were different each time. I’m sure they defended the Queen and stuff…Limeys…i jest, but they are good people and food friends. Clinton can dance and I can’t play pool.

Tonight it was newcomers Network. The places for non Germans to hang out and “mingle”. We didn’t Mingle.
Who likes them people? The same group of us from the Irish pub sit and make fun of everyone else…
We like strangers. I hate Americans.

Matt’s a wussy boy!

Modest Mouse Rules!!!

We saw Borat today (second time for me). I still didn’t see the “Throw the Jew down the well” scene again that all the critics talked about. Did they edit it from the German version of the film?
Do they have censors in Germany?

The story of the ex-KGB guy who was poisoned in the UK is quite an interesting story. I wonder how it’s covered in the States.
