Happy New Year Everyone
I’ll be updating this more this year, I didn’t make any resolutions, but had I they would have included writing more on my blog. I hope everyone had a good time last night and here to a great coming trip around the sun.
Music
Music –
The lack of which seems to leave me with no crutch and a handicap. We have different styles that we like more than others, and even some people who say that they just don’t listen to music. Read more
The odd connections of memory
Just watched an episode of Lizzie McGuire, in German of course, dubbed in German. But it was your standard plot line ripped right from adolescence. Girl likes Boy, Girl starts seeing Boy, Male Best Friend likes Girl, Girl doesn’t like Male Best Friend back, Boy breaks up with Girl, asks if they can still be friends, Male Best Friend is there to make her smile but not tell Girl how he feels about Her. So anyway, as I said, the plot of a thousand teen-age movies or TV shows at some point or another, and it’s always back because it’s out there, and probably can remember something of the sort happening when you were the age of the actors.
Comics and the like
Won’t be a long post, but it’s been far too long not to update.
Been reading a lot of good comics here of late, I’m not going to list them or go into them right now, if you’re interested I’ll let you know.
The important part is that the writing on a good comic is something different than the writing on a good article or short story. Arranging the panels and using dialogue to accent the visual. It’s something that I’ve been interested in for the past few years. I didn’t really read comics as a kid, didn’t start until I was out of college really I think.
Anyway, that’s today’s thought. And the question is, what makes a good story for you?
All’s well that is.
Feeling better now that I was a few hours ago. While going though the grocery store earlier this morning I had a mild panic attack. Throat is still a bit tense, its difficult to swallow, but not as bad as it was. Read more

Sepian’s Book Club
Okay, not really in the classical sense. We’re not all going to read a book and then discuss it. More along the lines I’m going to tell you about two books that I’ve read recently and what I thought about them. You see in the short term it is far less work for you, and I read them because I wanted to, so there’s no skin off your teeth either. It’s pretty much win-win. Read more
Fridays at the Einwohneramt
For those of you who don’t know the situation, I’ll ’splain, no, I’ll sum up.
In order to get a Visa here in Germany you need health insurance that covers very specific criteria. After looking around, I found a company that provided. Took a copy of my coverage to the powers that be and was told that I needed a German translation. Okay, I wrote to my insurance company, they were nice enough to send a letter they use for Visa applicants here in Germany. Took said document back to those who requested, although I don’t think the person who requested, as you’ll find out soon, and was told that it “didn’t count,” I needed an insurance company with a German address.
So…
