Maybe I’ll provide some commentary next time, but for now this will have to suffice.
As long as I don’t get in trouble at the archives for my computer suddenly blurting out “Infield back… Infield in… Infield normal…” I should be fine.
Archive
Ok, I lied. Keep checking out the blog and this page. Or subscribe to this RSS feed. For now. I apologize for the inconvenience and the future inconvenience that I’m sure will also occur.
If you have been following me on Twitter, you might want to consider following me on Jaiku instead. It’s a one stop solution for tracking updates to the blog, my photos, my short messages throughout the day, and even whatever I end up posting to Frazr (which is really just a German version of Twitter, but with a local number so I might actually SMS it once in a while.) So, I repeat: just check my Jaiku account, or subscribe via RSS if that’s your thing. That is all.
Another clip from the archives.
Now you can pretend to spy on me while I’m working in the archives!
Wow, that’s a month gone by real fast. Almost too fast, maybe, since I don’t feel like I have that much research done. Oh well, after tomorrow it should be back to business without interruption for a while.
The interruption Friday and Saturday was a scholarship holders’ orientation in Bonn that was rather uninformative but ended up being a pretty good time anyway. Highlight: dinner at a Chinese restaurant that took us cruising up and done the river while we ate.
My last major interruption for a while comes tomorrow morning as I go take care of my residence permit. I think I have all the documents I need, but we’ll see what happens.
Then it’s back to work. Only other plans for the week besides work are researching travel plans for Deb’s visit in December and finding return tickets for nine months from now.

If only there were a podcast version, I’d be all set.
No video this week. I know, it’s terrible news, right? Anyway, this week I didn’t get nearly as much work done in the archives as I would have liked because I had to stay home two days, Monday and Friday. Monday somebody was supposed to come do make some final adjustments for my internet connection, but never did. Wednesday nobody was supposed to come, so I went to the archives, but while I was gone they left a note saying they showed up but nobody was home. Finally, for Friday I scheduled another appointment, somebody showed, told me that whoever was supposed to show up Monday but didn’t told the office he did show up, and also made sure everything was set.
Yesterday I headed to Magdeburg to visit Niko, and had a nice visit. While there, I purchased a jacket, since I didn’t have anything that would keep me warm or dry as the weather continues to deteriorate here. After getting back to Berlin today I went for a short run. Unfortunately, my not-yet-broken-in running shoes keep bothering the backs of my heels, leading to a bloody sock when I got home despite the band-aid I put on before heading out. But it looked worse than it was, there was just a tiny patch of skin rubbed off.
So tomorrow it’s back to work, but this week won’t be very productive either: Wednesday is a holiday, and Friday I head to Bonn for a DAAD orientation. Oh well.
Another video installment!
