Brian and I got off the train in Jessheim (yes heim) yesterday evening around 11 or 12. It immediately felt like we were in Norway – it was cold, clear, and the streets were lined with snow. We were unsure of where we were supposed to go. Our couchsurfing host was at a party and [...]

So, I’ve been trying to keep my birthday under the radar. I don’t see much of a reason to get excited about birthdays. They’re important, yes, but don’t require special nights out, presents, and the like. I’ll be twenty three years old. I think a person should step back on their birthday and think about [...]

Hi all. I had a day off from work today. It was grand – first time in nine days I haven’t worked at the cafe, nimmos, or ard bia’s restaurant. I remember not too long ago, I blogged how I was spending my days floating from coffee shop, to pub, to coffee shop. Killing time. [...]

Hi all. I’ve posted some pictures below. I somehow previously left you a link to a Photobucket album with the same pictures, but the ones below have some included descriptions. This is the outside of the flat I live in – you can see The Massage Center sign. The setup isn’t ideal, but it’s a [...]
