Kuerbis Kern For All!
So last night I cut my thumb open on a tuna fish can. Very smooth of me. Too bad it's Sunday, and all of the Apothekes in Graz are closed. Hence, this may be the last you hear of me, as I will no longer be able to type after my thumb falls off, gangrenous and sore.
So, new things I have tried since we last spoke:
Kuerbis Kern Eis: Translation-- Pumpkin Seed Ice Cream. Hmmm.. you may be thinking, that sounds like it could be interesting. Perhaps a hint of pumpkin pie goodness in every bite. Surely they wouldn't simply mash up pumpkin seeds and stick them in some sweet, green ice cream of undistinguishable flavor! And if you were thinking that--as I was thinking--you would be wrong. As I was wrong.
Don't get me wrong, along with freshly mashed organic apple juice, pumpkin seed oil is the queen bee of the Steiermark. Everybody talks about it, it's at every meal, and I must say, it is Dee-Lish! That being said, delicious pumpkin seeds does not an ice cream make. Or... whatever. It's not pistachio, that's all I'm saying.
Also: The big possibility for today? The Circus!
Also: Here are some more opportunities to see beautiful pictures of Graz, eat it up, because the chances of my pictures turning out this well are not great.

Speaking of pictures: Who wants to see pictures of Jenna during her ellusive Easter Break? One week of it has been beautifully documented with funny, memorable comments by my roommate Christy on her photo site. Do you remember how to get there? Directions are listed in a previous entry, but here they are again, in an easier to use format: Go to

If you go to this specific link you don't have to type in her pesky email address. What a fun, new development! Here you will see a list of album options. If you want to see pictures of Graz, look at Graz. If you want to see pictures of places I've never been, look at any of the other cities. If you want to see pictures of things I may have seen several years ago look at Berlin pictures. If you want to see pictures of me and Christy during easter break in Stuttgart, look at "Osterferien". I promise you won't be disappointed.
Also: So, apparantly visiting Jenna is the new fad! Check out my month:
April 21-29th, Brent comes to visit. I try desperately to impress him with how fun I am. I fail, but he loves me anyway.
May 12-23rd: Casey comes to visit (!!!). Exhausted by my previous attempts to create an incredibly exciting and unforgettable experience with Brent, I nap a lot between classes. Casey gets lost trying to find Hauptplatz due to my lack of directions, and ends up traveling the orient, while I fumble through my dictionary trying to find translations for linguistics terms that don't exist.
May 14-17th: Molly comes to visit from Trier! We go to Budapest for two days! Neither of us speak Hungarian, so we end up crossing the border, and outside of the EU. Oh my God! Outside of the EU! We must be in China! (hoooeee. a little political humor for you. nice, huh?)
What an exciting time!
Speaking of excitement, here's a fun little play on words for you: The word for Diarrhea in German is "Durchfall", literally, "to fall through": a nice little image for you on your way to work. The word for flunking, something I may be doing a lot of this semester? "Durchfallen". Very nice. I'm diarrhea. Super.
But not yet, buster. Not yet.
