Zwergenweitwurf

Greetings from Bremen!

Nutella is fuel

Good times (in retrospect).

And this is proof.

Mr. T

Alyways makes me feel a little bit badass.

Riding back from Schöneberg this morning, I passed a guy who was biking at an annoying not-slow-but-not-fast-enough pace. He passed me at the next light (by running a red light), then proceeded to bike extre-e-emely slowly and kept turning back at me and smirking. He seemed to want to talk to me, so I kept my distance and took a random turn at a light and lost him.

I pity the fool. Ha!

Devancy

Actually, come to think of it, I have drawn one before.

Teddytaur!

Previous Teddytaur reference here.

And. I have to say that I'm still proud of my 2008 costume.

The festival we never went to

G finished his exams and no longer needs to study 7 hours a day (for now), so we spent Saturday together just hanging around and relaxing. There were also lots of film festivals going on, one of which we didn't make it to:

G had suggested to me because he thought "it might give me something interesting to blog about." Alas, we didn't go, but it still gave me something (interesting?) to blog about. I sense a beginning of a series. "The Time I Almost Went Skydiving But Didn't." "The Time I Thought About Punching a Dolphin in the Face." "The Day I Tried to Buy Jeans (But Failed)." So on and so forth.

I'll tell you what I did do this weekend, though. We carved pumpkins!

Oooh! Spooky!

I'm a day early, but here's a terrible (and the only) Halloween joke I know:

Why couldn't the boy bat get laid?

Because he had a hollow weenie.

Badum'ch.

If you work harder, you'll get it done faster.

I stole my friend K's FB status and turned it into a comic. Not original, I know, but I couldn't not illustrate it. Too cute.

Kettle, Law, and Marketa

Okay, so I did want a toy vacuum cleaner when I was a kid, but still.

Speaking of toys, something I recently seriously considered buying is a plush roast chicken.

SO squee!

Oh, and slightly unrelated (but not entirely unrelated), but I have a friend whose last name is Kettle. Cutest last name ever!

And last but not least: G finished his written state judicial exams today! Yay! Well done, G! Par-tay! We're going out to see the talented Marketa Irglova (of the band The Swell Season from the film Once) in concert tonight! Can't wait!

The Vicious Noodle Cycle

Whoopsa. Sorry for missing Tuesday! Here's one that gets me every time . . . I never learn.

Btw, G and I signed up for another run---this time for a relay marathon in November. Basically it's running the full-length marathon with a team of five people . . . should be fun! We also had to come up with a team name to register, and we decided to go with the faux-German Tom Waits song, "Kommienezuspadt."

Sei pünktlich! Sei pünktlich!
