Munich: random thoughts for the day

  • We live so close to a brewery that our neighborhood actually smells like brewing beer most days. It's really a pleasant smell, but I'm still glad it doesn't seem to reach all the way to our apartment.

  • Right Said Fred is currently featured in a German commercial, performing I’m Too Sexy while shilling for Meister Proper (the German Mr. Clean). It makes me laugh.

  • What do you think this truck delivers? Fresh produce?

  • Speaking of deliveries, our refrigerator/freezer was delivered today. Three weeks without ice was much too long. Dirty martinis for everyone!

  • DSDS (the German American Idol) got off to a promising start last night. This guy is one of the best candidates of all times. The video is hysterical even if you don't speak German - just wait till he starts singing. Seriously, it's worth it [note - since I just realized this might not be obvious: he is intending to sing in English].





The new-city giddiness still hasn't worn off.

Chuck - not so much. There was a dusting on the cars and rooftops this week, but now it's looking more like rain.

@jul:
In what neigborhood do you live here in Munich? To me it looks like beautiful sunshine we enjoyed all the week long - and not rain... Even now the sun shines into my office. Are you sure you are in Munich, Bavaria?

Jul said...

Yes, I'm quite sure where I am (but thanks for doubting my sanity). I see a little blue sky among the clouds, but the street outside is still wet from overnight rain (or maybe snow that melted? I don't know for sure.)

I am still waiting for the rain... :-)
