Heartbroken

Posted by Anne on July 28th, 2010

Well, our favorite didn’t work out because it was too small for guests and I would have had to explain to the tax office what our clothes and bed and washing machine and kitchen and dining area were doing in something officially declared office space. But the worst part was still to come: I fell [...]

Looking part 2

Posted by Anne on July 23rd, 2010

Graffitti has many faces here. Should Helmut be here? He loves it. Yesterday we had a huge “small” breakfast for 4 euros in a really funky café with nice music and people sitting around playing board games, where we opened our office and sat for hours, getting our appointments set up. We looked at about [...]

Looking for an apartment in Berlin

Posted by Anne on July 22nd, 2010

We’re looking for a new place to live and work. Today we saw the first place that was love at first sight. It’s in Friedrichshain, which is hopping, not too far from where Helmut works, and we can get to by subway. The place itself is a split-level apartment out back. The graffiti outside on [...]

Hello Kitty arrested

What’s going on here?
Where is this scene taking place?
What time of day is it?
Who’s being arrested?
How much do you know about ‘her’?
What else do you imagine about ‘her’?
What do you think ’she’s’ being arrested for?
What exactly do you think happened? How? Why?
What could the officers be thinking?
What could ’she’ be thinking?
What do you think is [...]

Remember Reagan? Seriosity plus humor

Posted by Anne on June 21st, 2010

He was called “The great communicator”. At the time I wasn’t willing to listen to any of his speeches, because he was at the opposite end of the political spectrum, and I was out in the streets demonstrating against cruise missiles, Star Wars and all that. But I was just reading Vicki Hollett’s very interesting [...]
