Breaking the Silence

After a long silence, she finally posts again. Doubtless you have been holding your breath when you click on this link daily… “Has she uploaded something new?! Has she?!”
Right.
At this point I would like to insert a quote from Nathan’s webpage:
"Creating your own blog is about as easy as creating your own urine, and you're about as likely to find someone else interested in it." - Lore Sjöberg

Yes. Thank you, Nathan.

Actually, I moved, which explains part of my absence from posting. My days in student housing in the only ugly high rises (see right) in the greater Bern area are past.

I now live a two-minute walk from the university buildings, in what I like to call the “artistic quarter.” By artistic, I mean that a number of youths have left their artistic works on the front of the building in the medium of spray paint. But it’s luxurious living. I have my own room, share a kitchen with two others, and a shower with nine.
When I brought my stuff to the room, I asked the person I’m subletting from, “So, why is there a plastic container below the window?”
“Well, sometimes, (but only when the wind blows from the south!) the window, um, leaks a bit.”
“And the electric heater?”
“Well, in the winter, (but only when the wind blows from the south!), it gets a bit drafty in the room.”
I love where I live though. The people are fun, the room is cozy, and (thanks to happy wireless sharing) I now have internet.

(I really do live in a nice part of town. See? This is just down the street.)
