~the bright & hollow sky~

~pantoffeln & glück~
Wednesday, November 30th, 2016We rented a car and had an adventure at the family storage unit on the outskirts of Berlin. Because of our crazy schedule, we had a mere ninety minutes to find the one thing we’s come for: Ali’s mother’s hand-written cookbook. Greeted by a small room-sized crate of boxes, we found it–in nearly the very […]
~no faces when photographed~
Monday, November 28th, 2016Dinner at Clärchens Ballhaus, built in the late 1800s (in the Gründerzeit), to celebrate our first dinner date sixteen years ago today.

~sound & vision~
Thursday, November 24th, 2016Blue, blue, electric blue, that’s the colour of my room. Pilgrimage to 155 Hauptstraße, to the apartment this song was composed in and of. I feel thankful to all artists who’ve been a lifeline, and in particular to the ghost Bowie still inside, wondering and waiting for the gift of sound and vision. For the Iggy […]
~every day is like (eternity) sunday~
Sunday, November 20th, 2016Field trip to the East to a flea remembered in Prenzlauer Berg became a lesson in the one Sunday of the year every Berlin flea is closed, appropriately called Totensonntag (Sunday of the Dead) or Ewigkeitssonntag (Eternity Sunday).
~views from the abyss~
Wednesday, November 16th, 2016Imagining these days as narrated with deadpan digressions on death, absurdity, cruelty of the natural world, the abyss. Oh wait, I’m just mumbling to myself in a bad Bavarian accent… Below, views from Mitte.
