I got to visit Berlin yesterday. I rode the train with my friend in the morning to Cottbus, and transferred to a train that had us to Ostbahnhof by half past noon. We checked out the east side gallery (section of the wall still standing at it's original position, fully painted by numerous artists, last done 8 years ago) and walked to Alexanderplatz to grab another train and also so we could walk under this tower that is one of Germany's tallest structures.

We went to meet his cousin for lunch, friend got falafel Sandwich and his cousin got shawarma while I got a massive plate of hummus and Tabbuli for a decent price; afterwards we got some (alkoholfrei für me) beers and hit up the park to chill for a bit.

Went to pick up some weed, then met up with their othet friend in the town they informed me was the "gayest part of Berlin" (forgot the name but rainbows supposedly are projected above the train station, and it was quite a nice area of town to relax) and we smoked a joint.

From there, my friend & I took the train to Potsdamerplatz & walked to Brandenburg gate & the Bundestag, passing the Holocaust memorial & the US embassy directly adjacent. Relaxed for a while with his cousin, cousin's GF and their mutual friend in the field outside the Bundestag then hit up the Hauptbahnhof to grab a small Souvenir box & groceries + snacks for the way home (they sell fruit juice mixed with carbonated mineral water here and it's delicious). Made it back to his flat in Görlitz before 1AM.

All in all, a most excellent day.

Paid my rent on time today, always a relief. Now, back to my irregularly-scheduled optimism.    
Right now it is just about time to go see some bands, at a gig I've been looking forward to for quite a while. I've even managed to convince at least a couple of others to come along! Amazing. I don't have much money and it will no doubt be annoyingly cold tonight but I am fully intending to have a good time regardless.

There's so many reenactors around Moscow center today, like heck
The mayorate has decided to stop being a suck and organize something cool finally
There's a bunch of Italians and French guys reenacting Romans and Etruscans. I saw an SS officer getting lectured by a bunch of Roman Legionnaires, possibly on how he is an inferior derivative fascist
Also there was a bunch of Napoleonic Wars reenactors, who were pretty chill. A Moscow Grenadier Regiment musician girl explained ranks and signalling in NW era armies to us, and also taught us to play a pretty stupid game where you have a stick, and then you have to spin round until you're nauseous and then you have to run and knock down another stick.
Also I beat a guy at tafl. Unsure if he lost on purpose, but it felt pretty square to me. There was also a girl who had a pretty strange loom, in which the threading pattern was maintained by a row of square wooden thingies with threadholes at the corners, which are spun around to change the loom state.
Some guy also named a bar "Howard Loves Craft". It is a stupid pun. Consequently I am somewhat drunk. If you see a milk stout called Black Jack, it is pretty good.

That sounds so awesome. I wish we got more reenactors stuff days over here.

Also playing Skyrim again, good game.  Aaaand good family stuff going on, and friend stuff.
I've had a bad time, recently, but I think things are alright.

Also new Supernatural season.  "Hair" metal parody woo!

Was just offered dinner by my housemates! Woo!
Means my visit to a friend's place will be later, but oh well.

Got to see the world's smallest species of owl and the world's largest species of owl at the same time. The little one wanted to bite everything and the big one mostly flapped around going "Hoo" and had a bath. Nice day overall, many owls. And no it wasn't in a zoo or similar.

I got compliments on my car today by 4 different people.
