Who Knew It Was Played On Ice?

You may have guessed from my recent post that I rather enjoy Curling. (even if it does means “Ass Lick” in Romanian).

It’s funny because whenever I tell someone I like the game, I end up having to tell them three times.
Me: “I really like curling.”
Them: “Are you serious?”
Me: “Yeah! Absolutely!”
Them: “No, really. Are you serious?”
Me: [...]

Berlin was pretty awesome.
The best part is that I can speak *just* enough German that I could pass as a socially-awkward and shy citizen.

Yeah… That’s the one in the Czech Republic (not Nebraska).
It took a while to get over there… but I had a primo seat on the plane with an awesome view!

It’s hot, flat, and hot. Although it is true that the lack of humidity is a slight respite, but it still sucks.
The good things?
El Caminos.

Mangos.

And the place I’m staying…

…is named after the british aircraft manufacturer de Havilland…

…which is well known for their aircraft the “Comet“…

…which itself, is best known for killing the British flying public.

My landlord recently upgraded her toilet and apparently they were having a two-for-one sale. There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with my old one… but who doesn’t like a new toilet?!
The new one is pretty sweet… all white and high-speed. The thing is so powerful it could probably flush a puppy or small potted plant. The [...]

If you’ve known me for any amount of time, you know I have a thing for White Castle. Partly because the closest one to me is 3 hours away, and thus I don’t get to eat there often.

Recently I was in Indiana and visited the local White Castle around 2am. I was so astounded by [...]

I’ve always said that everyone needs at least one good poo-their-pants story… Well, now I have two.
Much like how a plane crash or damn break is caused by many little things going wrong in succession, here is what happened to me.
The story starts with me in Indiana. I’m here for 10 days. My room and [...]

All this talk about my apartment got me thinking. There is this spot in my living room that is empty.
It is a void for which I could not figure out what the hell should go there… Coat rack? No. Chest? No. Life size Boba Fet cut out? Nope.
Although, as far as I can tell there [...]

This topic has been coming up allot recently in conversation, and I might as well put it out there for everyone else.
In my apartment I have a wall of pictures… pictures of me.

Before you judge, hear me out.
They are pictures of me on trips, with friends, different events, etc. They are up there to remind [...]

I took the motorcycle to Niagara Falls over the weekend to see a group of old friends. Here are some things I noticed:
First, I was disappointed to find out that it’s just a giant waterfall.

There are women on the money.

Canada’s take on the Mailbox!

It’s one better!

Beaver!

Stick your legs out.

I apparently traveled 500+ miles for [...]
