Have felt a bit out of sorts lately, and then the weekend comes around and I don’t get nearly enough done on my writing projects. I’m juggling this and that, and seemingly without warning Sunday evening sneaks up on me. What on earth have I been doing since Friday night when the vast expanse of… Continue reading Reading the paper on a Sunday
Feverish thoughts while trying not to think too much about the Munich Security Conference
Thought I felt a cold coming on, but there was too much going on this weekend in Munich to slow down. I wasn’t going to be a hypochondriac about it, so I pushed on through. It’s early February, so that means the annual Munich Security Conference was taking place. I typically pay close attention to… Continue reading Feverish thoughts while trying not to think too much about the Munich Security Conference
trumpeting in the shadows of the Dom
When I’ve got writing assignments, along with their requisite deadlines, I end up letting other things slide. My blog is an obvious victim of this mentality, and sure enough I’ve neglected you my legions of readers. As anti intuitive as it might seem though, I seem to be able to write those more serious things… Continue reading trumpeting in the shadows of the Dom
Blogging like a boss and ridiculing other’s ideas up close and personally
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
My French Connection, Paris, Sexy Paris
I’ve got my own love affair with Paris going on. Here’s Michael Owens’ take on how his perspective changed.
Dragged with vim & vigour
Taking the hounds out for a walk takes on a whole new meaning when you’re wearing your roller blades, doesn’t it? So much holiday preparation going on this last weekend, but we still had time to go out and seize the day. Apparently, aside from decorating Christmas cookies, letting Ella and Louis pull her along… Continue reading Dragged with vim & vigour
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
It might even make everyone involved strive just a bit harder
Scrolling through Feckbook earlier this evening, I saw various people allude obliquely a murder that happened thirty-four years ago tonight. No-one bothered mentioning who’d been killed on the eighth of December in 1980. There was no need. I wasn’t going to bother writing about it, because what more can be said about the all of… Continue reading It might even make everyone involved strive just a bit harder
Mild as it’s been, enjoying late autumn
It’s been mild, we get it. November was rather warm here in Munich, and there hasn’t been much sunlight. It’s a good time to hole up and read. Or write. However, when you’ve got dogs, there’s only so long you can stay inside. I’ve tried to convince the hounds to take themselves out, but they… Continue reading Mild as it’s been, enjoying late autumn
Why do people take the wrong things about Facebook so seriously?
Ok, the first thing I want to say is that when it comes to Feckbook, people just need to settle down. It’s a platform that has changed not just the landscape of the Internet, but has altered the way many people live their lives. It’s not going anywhere in the foreseeable future, so either… Continue reading Why do people take the wrong things about Facebook so seriously?
