Damn. What a nail-biter. The game between Germany and Spain, that is. I had so been looking forward to the European Championship final yesterday. It seemed like everything was possible for Germany after the incredible game against Portugal and the last-minute win over Turkey. But yesterday, it was just not meant to be. Spain just…
I was so tired this morning. You want to know why? I stayed up until 1 a.m. last night, because I wanted to watch the rerun of the Euro 2008 Semifinal Germany vs. Turkey. I had found out that ESPN broadcasts the European Soccer Championship LIVE, but of course, it was lunch time here and…
Susi invited me for a BBQ in her newly arranged backyard last weekend and we had some serious catching up to do. I think we hadn’t physically seen each other since March [correct me if I am wrong] when I came out to see her for her wedding reception. Time really does fly these days……
  I don’t know why, but sometimes, when a famous person dies, it just freakin’ bothers me. George Carlin, my favorite American comedian, died on Sunday. He died way too young. He was only 71 years old. You might be laughing right now. But seriously.

The last weekend was awesome. Girl-time with my best friend for the first time in months! I hopped on the train Friday afternoon to go and meet her in San Francisco. The train ride is a pretty straight shot from here and should have only taken me about 2,5 hours [including riding the BART for…
Fabulous tagged me and so I obey… so here’s my list of things I can’t do without in the summer: 1. Ice-cream I am a real sucker for ice-cream. No summer without ice-cream for me. This is why I have already stocked up in my freezer :)
We joined a German meetup group a few weeks ago and we had our first meeting last night. I was really thrilled that someone had finally started a new German meetup group here. I was hoping to meet some new people, possibly Germans :) There was a huge response for this meetup group and 17 people…
  I finally treated myself to the long-anticipated and longed for Canon Rebel XSI. I received an offer that I just couldn’t refuse… 15% off the regular price. Awesome! You probably think that I have too much money to spare, which – I assure you – I don’t… but sometimes you just gotta live, you…
Kristine’s task for this week: If you do NOT have a child…you lucky bastards; Get down on your stomach or knees, about the height of child or baby and see what you see from there point of view. So here’s my take. If you click on it, you’ll get to a photo with notes and…
June seems to be a good month for visits from Germany. Last year, a good friend of mine came to LA to see me and J for a couple of hours before heading to a conference that he attended through his German company in Anaheim. A few days later, my parents and cousin arrived for…
