Ouchies
Well, that explains the rustling we’ve been hearing in the night. Warning: mildly graphic ending… maybe watch before showing to young kids. OK, OK, here’s a version that’s got a slightly less “visual” ending. e.g. Same thing, no slatters.
Big Announcement
We’ve been checking into tickets to come home. We found some good deals, but didn’t buy them immediately because we didn’t want to fully commit to leaving on such-and-such a date. Well, those same tickets have increased in price… substantially. One nice thing about this is that it gave us more freedom of when we’d […]
German Class 2
Mere minutes after Joni posted about her German Class, I’m posting about mine! It’s like we plan these things or something… While Mary Jo just started her class, I’ve been going to mine for two and a half weeks now. It’s gone very well so far. I don’t feel lost, and I’m actually learning new […]
Kinder Joy
We mentioned that there are crazy candy-toy eggs here quite a while ago. Well, we recently discovered a different version of that candy-toy egg. This new one just does a 50/50 split instead of embedding the toy inside the egg. I think a video would explain it better:
New Roommate
Way back in December, during that whole “Christmas” thing, Mary Jo got me a wood dinosaur set. It’s several sheets of thin wood with little parts stamped into each. You’re supposed to remove the parts, then assemble it into something cool. They make kits that turn into houses, jeeps, tanks, boats, and even frogs. MJ […]
Parking Errands
Today we made a little trip to grab some stuff, but we took a new and exciting way! During the walk, we came across a sweet park. It’s a little depressing how awesome the parks are around here. We really want to show them to the nieces and nephews, but there’s that big wet thing […]
Living in Austria
Since moving to Linz, Austria, we’ve learned a few things that we wish we’d known right off the bat. In the interest of having this information “out there” (even though it will probably never be seen by someone who would find it useful), I’ve decided to make a little list of things to know about […]
Saturday Walk
Saturday we went on a little walk. I’m starting a German course Monday and wanted to see where it is before actually having to go there. On the way down there, we went by a gas station called “Oil tower”, or in German: Turmöl. As usual, click for larger. I had to make the joke […]
Stocking
Something that’s continually surprising to me, no matter how many times it happens, is that the local grocery store run out of stuff. A lot. The most recent incident involved beans. We wanted some red kidney beans for a meal, but they were out. Well, at least we could get our cheap-o OJ. Turn around […]
