It’s been quite a week at Lahikmajoe Headquarters, as Elaine of @elaine4queen has been visiting on her way back from Athens, and we’ve been plotting some blog adventures that you shall see come to fruition in the next few months. We continue to foment a sort of revolution that includes a bit less cake… Continue reading Blogging like a boss and ridiculing other’s ideas up close and personally

through and through
Aside from a few glimmers of the sun peaking through, it’s been a very dark late autumn here in Munich. Not that it’s an issue now, because although it’s been particularly wet the last few days, the sun is out in full force today. All that grey darkness is but a memory today.… Continue reading through and through
Social media strategies: what NOT to do
Have been doing more freelance work with social media recently, and this cartoon had me chuckling. How many times have you been stumbling round the web, and one of your friends, that you thought wasn’t so bad, made one of these blunders. No emo status updates people. Truly – it’s just bad form. The Complainer’s… Continue reading Social media strategies: what NOT to do
Once you get a taste of The Daily Argus, you can’t get enough
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSE6I11YVsw] This YouTube video made my day, and I was already having a rather good one to begin with. A good day, that is. It’s a Vizsla trying to get a Tater Tot…the YouTube blurb says that after the taping, Argus eventually got the object of his desire. Heart warming, eh? You know this… Continue reading Once you get a taste of The Daily Argus, you can’t get enough
Paid in Guinea Pigs
For a long time, Elaine said that she would only be paid in Guineas. Because someone insisted that Guineas are not legal tender, she’s now accepting Guinea Pigs instead. So, while we were chatting about it, I remembered that I had a book about Guinea Pigs in German. However, they don’t use that word – they’ve… Continue reading Paid in Guinea Pigs
Simply staring out the window
Stumbling round the web today, I happened upon a New York Times article that was talking about how our brains work. The whole thing is worth reading, so I’ll link to it here: Hit the Reset Button in Your Brain However, you don’t need to read the whole thing to get what I thought… Continue reading Simply staring out the window

Directly translated,… Continue reading The Media’s ‘Silly Season’ is Upon us – What the Germans call the Sommerloch
Ode to Joy
Tonight’s the Eurovision Song Contest, and during the voting they’re singing Ode to Joy and climbing ladders. As one does. I don’t care how camp this thing is, I watch it every year, mock it on twitter and laugh at the voting from the countries that couldn’t get their entry into the Finals. If you… Continue reading Ode to Joy
Shake your booty
Had a great time dancing the night away and was once again reminded how elemental it is to hear a beat and want to sway one’s body to and fro. The lady in the photo above stands along Leopold Strasse here in Munich, and every time I pass her by, I can’t help but smile.… Continue reading Shake your booty
shameless self promotion
Was about to say that I hadn’t talked about turtles in a while, but I went back and looked at my earlier posts on this blog and there’s nothing turtle-related. Not a damned thing. Which is a bit strange, because I’m really into turtles. And? There’s a beautiful human female riding atop the turtle. Not… Continue reading shameless self promotion
