It's movie time!

In fun news, we went to see Public Enemies the other night. I loved it and won't say anything more about it except... you should see it. I kept getting it confused with Public Enemy No. 1 a french film which I also really want to see. I'm wondering if the only reason why the Michael Mann film wasn't called Public Enemy No. 1, has something to do with the french film. I think that it would have been a more fitting title. Any thoughts?

This weekend we are going to take it easy in Berlin. It feels like a long time since we've been able to just chill out at home. I'm looking forward to it! Bergmann Straße is decorated with colourful bunting down the entire street! The summer feeling is full blown right now during the day... but at night it's a different story. The nights are getting pretty chilly.

Oh, I totally forgot to post that we went to the Baltic Sea last weekend with some friends. It was super relaxing and totally beautiful! I'll post some of those photos tomorrow and over the weekend!

Happy Thursday!

Just added.

I've just added a couple new things to my online shops... for North America take a peek here, and for Europe and elsewhere take a peek here!

So you may ask why two shops?? I've decided to do it this way because I feel like it's impossible to sell everything at the North American price with the Euro being so high... and it is impossible to sell things in North America with the European price conversion because it would make everything there so darn expensive. So I thought that I would try this out and see what happens. Things are off to a slow start... but they always are!!

More from Amsterdam.

This is the last of the Amsterdam photos. Most of them were taken in Zuid... where the Olympic Stadium is. We found a canal just behind the stadium with a ton of flashy house boats. Beautiful... but not the life for me.

Tonight Bill Callahan is playing at the The Lido in Berlin. We're going to try and get tickets but it was sold out as of yesterday. Boo. On Sunday we're going to see The Whitest Boy Alive at Tape. I haven't been to enough concerts in the past 6 months. Maybe this is the start to a new beginning!

Tomorrow I'm going to post some new stuff in my shops. I've been bogged down with bureaucratic stuff for the past two weeks and have had a hard time getting to it.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

I couldn't help myself.

I've already posted today but I need to get this show on the road... and catch up to today's photos.

Here are some photos from our Amsterdam trip. It was really lovely... as I might have said earlier. Two friends of ours graciously put us up despite their teeny tiny apartment. I hope that I can return the favour if they ever come to Berlin.

So I'm going to be signing up for another German course soon. I'm feeling like I've had no progress over the summer so we've decided to only speak German together for the next month or so. I know it sounds crazy. It feels crazy too. It's amazing how hard it is to stay on the German track. Well at least while posting here I can think in English. I'll let you know how it's going.

The end of Norway as I know it.

Here are some of my last photos from Norway. They got lost in the mix and I just happened to find them today! There is something about boats that I love. I think it is more the way that they look though. I really like being on them for short periods of time but I am scared to death of them sinking. I'm not the best swimmer you see. The way the wind lashes your face and the smell... oh that smell. No matter where I am in the world, if I am on a boat it makes me think of Northern Ontario. Maybe that's because I have never really traveled to a tropical place.

Happy Monday!

Ho hum.

We had a heat-wave in Berlin today. Making it a super lazy day for us. We spent the evening playing backgammon in Volkspark Hasanheide... and then went to see a movie. The last of our visitors left today and we are feeling a little lonely around here. Even Louis, our cat, seems a little under the weather.

I don't have any interesting links today... but here are the last of the Norway photos that I'm going to post here. Tomorrow I'll start posting some photos from our Amsterdam getaway and then it's back to daily life.

Oh, before I forget... there are a lot of interesting films playing at outdoor and some independent theaters in Berlin over the next weeks. I'll post some links tomorrow.

And again.

There is nothing exciting going on today... at least as far as lazy me can tell. Here are some more Norway photos for your enjoyment!! The first one is courtesy of m. I had made a similar snap but mine is lost in the abyss of my computer.
