Jen's sound asleep in my sister's old bed/room. We showed off the Autobahn (much to her delight), the New Architecture in the harbour (much to her camera's delight), and my parents treated both of us to a dinner in a vegetarian restaurant located in a nearby city, a traditionally black-and-white 1641 A.D. timber-framed
house. ( Details for the fellow foodies )
What else did we do?

pukajen: Gotta confess, before this visit to the City Museum, I didn't really know anything about this place.
monanotlisa: You, and more than 80 million Germans.
Mhh, the smell of history in the early afternoon. Audio tours per se are also pretty awesome, although when the ones in the fortresses and palaces of India are a whole lot fancier (hands-free, with actual headphones plus atmospheric sound effects and music) than the ones in your town, you can't help but feeling like a poor cousin, and not just thousands-of-years-of-unbroken-civilisat
Browsing the flist, I also found out:
1. Other people, too, are kinda breaking up with Supernatural.frogspace has a German post with links to English-language reactions, and I remember vaznetti's reaction mirrored my own. She in her not infinite but pretty darn impressive wisdom also mentioned she was thinking more and more about letting the show go because she didn't want to be that fan--the one who complains bitterly every single week yet keeps watching. I dislike this kind of fannish pattern as well, so in light of my supersensitive little soul being subject to sexualised violence ( spoiler ), good-bye, indeed. Not like I'm the target demographic.
2. There's a new casting spoiler about SGA Season Five floating around, and it has fandom up in arms as well as on the sidelines with popcorn. I will totally be bringing some candy and joining the latter faction. Gummy bear, anyone?
3. Some folks are questioning the Super in Tuesday. I just skimmed but won't do so tomorrow when the results are in, both exited and apprehensive about the results of the primaries. (Today, I read the first page of my German newspaper to Jen on the train and just had to grin about a lead article to the effect of Europeans in general being as interested in US elections as they are when it comes to voting nationally, perhaps even more involved in this than in local or community elections: think global, don't act local? Another wry yet apt observation was the feeling we, too, deserve to to vote in US elections, considering their major economical, social, political and possibly even physical--oh, Afghanistan--impact on us.)
