Edit-I realize this edit is before anyone actually read this, but it makes it looks special. I bought a book of scrabble thoery and strategy for 20 pence, it's awesome. Also, if a laugh is required, as it always is....http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/11/112706.html. Enjoy.
So I meant to post the previous post last night, but I got my buttons mussed up, so go read that one...done? Good.
Whilst walking the streets of Bremen and seeing some pretty sights before it decided to cloud up and become not very enjoyable outsitde, I figured a few things out. The main I will share with you is how utterly appropriate it was for L.I.T. to be playing in the back ground, in German, on my first night in a country that doesn't speak English. I had it worked out more eloquently in my head before hand, but I guess thats how it always works isn't it?
Anyways. I took a bunch of pictures, but they won't be showing up now, due to a lack of cord-ness. So when I get back to the Hostel and have a chance, I'll upload some of them.
It's a nice place here, tomorrow, or later today I think I'm going to make my way down to the 'old' part of town and take some pictures, film probably.
Some of the people speak english, which helps a lot, but most don't. I can figure out some things through inflection or situation, but the rest, I'm hopeless.
There is no lock on my dorm's door, gah, and my back pack won't fit in the locker. Luckily I have some locks, and the hostel seems like a decent place. Excpet for the snorers....it sounded like some horrible creature was chocking on a lawn mower, and was being strangled...by a chain of even more lawn mowers. It kept me awake for a least two hours, when I finally passed out. When I woke up the room was empty, as was the showers and halls, and according to my clock is was almost 12 in the afternoon. I was kind of happy about this, meant I actually got a good sleep. As it turns out, my little travel alarm clock was wrong, and I got up at just after 8, giving me a grand total of 5 restless hours after a 12 hour day of trains, stations and planes, and sleeping on the floor the night before, I'll go into that later. So yes, it's amazing how the great the placebo effect is. I was bright and kipper, thinking I got a great sleep until a few hours later, I came across several clocks saying it was 11, and that was when I began feeling the effects of a poor nights sleep, oh well.
Anyways, why was I sleeping on the floor? Well, as I was getting into bed, for some reason one of the braces snapped at one end, rendering the bed un usable, and me bedless. I could have told the people I was staying with then, but it was kind of late, and that was embarressing. So I made a make shift bed on the rather hard floor and squeezed 5 hours of it until giving up at 8 the next morning and going down and telling them it broke when I was getting dressed, after remaking the bes to support my story. I'm ridiculous, I know.
Last posts title is the new album from Explosions In The Sky, and I quite like it. There is only one problem, you know those head phones I bought? Well if you don't, it doesn't matter all you need to know is that the cord for them is literally, 7 feet long. So I keep having to roll it all up which is wrecking the cord and making it so they will only play right if the cord is in a certain spot...it's easy enough to do, just stupidly annoying and is ruining the post rock zen of EITS. Anyways, after 5 hours of walking, some food and maybe a little Harry Potter is in order. I'm hooked on the book, I don't know why I waited 4, almost 5 years to read it. The first has been slow, but I've been told it picks up.
That's all for now, this has turned into a novel, and I'm sorry.
