80′s themed birthday party? Time to go shopping. I found the red bodywarmer/vest and knew what I had to do! This pose was from memory (and while drunk), so excuse the mirror imagery. And this photo was taken with my iPhone, so please excuse the quality.

“Get better at speaking German. I plan to hire a personal tutor, as regular classes don’t work with my schedule.” Half and half. I didn’t manage to work with any private tutor, but I do think my German improved this year, despite spending far less than half of my time in Germany. I managed to [...]

When chatting with a friend on Skype, about how many new countries we wanted to visit in 2011 (me 20, him 3), he said: “Incase you don’t already know if him, be sure to check out Chris Guillebeau. He’s made quiet a life out of seeing every country in the world.” I checked out the [...]

“Keep working on cruise ships, though structuring the my time away better than last year to maximize time in Berlin/with friends/doing my own thing.” Win! I could have structured my time at home better than I did, but at least I did it better than 2009. I took all of May and most of June [...]

Dec. × ’10

Back at the beginning of the year I made a list on my blog of many plans and goals for 2010. The list wasn’t very well thought out, I just wrote it as I went, putting down things I wanted to accomplish in various areas. When I later counted them up, the total number of [...]

26th
Dec. × ’10

In the past few months I bought myself a new camera (a Canon 60D) and my first external flash unit. I felt as though I had improved enough that I was no longer the weakest link in my equipment collection, and the quality of my previous camera (a 500D) was holding me back. And after [...]

In November I took a three day trip to Rome, spending some air miles to spend time with my girlfriend at the end of her holiday. I posted these on Facebook, and a comment from a friend was “Did you see any buildings, or did you only take photos of your girlfriend?” The truth is [...]
