The day you lose your hovercraft...you're gonna be whistling a different tune

Can't get enough of that OnionTV. It's been a long week and it's gonna be a short weekend. Since I've really only got one day to go out and have fun, it's gonna be this one. Schmidt up and bounced to Dortmund this weekend, giving some kind of excuse about needing to take care of some "business" and how his "mother" is not going to "be in town" later this "month" and they don't have a "spare key". Anyway, he'll get a taste of his own abandoning medicine when I go Frankfurt at the end of the month. I bet you he'll cry...cause if there's one thing I know about Schmidt, it's that he's a giant cry baby.

NOTE: I would like to take this time to interrupt this post, because Schmidt and I have some kind of weird-ass Spidey sense and after finishing typing the last word of the previous paragraph, he called me from Dortmund. And like the giant cry baby he is, he professed his love for his hometown (while crying) and told me that his parents' new apartment is close to a place called "Dönerman" where you can get a mega-döner for 3,30 EUR and a 0.5L cola for 1 EUR.

NOTE 2: And...strangely enough, after finishing the first note, I received an SMS from Schmidt saying that the mega-döner's 3,30 EUR price includes a sprinkling of feta cheese as well.

Well, now I'm totally distracted as to what I originally intended to write.

Here's a video about rich people.

The Best Taco Bell in Germany

 Last weekend, I crossed off a major item on my bucket list. I went to Taco Bell in Germany. "But Raven, shouldn't you aspire to better, healthier things that have a measurable positive impact on society?" I know that's what you're thinking, but I don't really give a crap... because you are not the boss of me.  I wanted Taco Bell, because it's probably the one thing from back at home that I crave the most. Say what you want about it (again, I don't give a crap), but get at me when you've spent years away from your homeland and are unable to acquire whatever nasty-ass comfort food is available wherever you're from. For me, my nasty-ass comfort food of choice is Taco Bell...with Sonic a close second. However, you can't even find Sonic all over the U.S. and I don't find myself craving burgers and hot dogs all the time (plus, those urges are a lot easier to satisfy than a craving for Mexican or Tex-mex).

The One Who Got Away (Part 6): PLOT TWIST

Quick Translation: This confirms that German citizenship will not be opposed, if within two years it can be verified that the aforementioned person no longer possesses citizenship for Trinidad and Tobago e   and/or has fulfilled the requirements for the loss of this citizenship and that nothing has happened in the meantime, which would forbid naturalization.  I almost forgot what it felt like to receive a industrial size dose of 100% homegrown German bureaucratic pedantry. Luckily, the German authorities will never leave you too long without a fix. You can count on that. As you can see from the picture above (and from my previous posts), Trinidad and Tobago e  had only been mentioned once in passing up until now, when I finalized my application and paid the fee. Mr. S: Your mother was naturalized in the U.S. after you were born? Me: Yes, but she never applied for Trinidadian citizenship for me, which would have had to have been done by my 18th birthday....

Saturday Night Videos 5

Lately I've taken to supporting artists via crowd-sourcing sites and the like. I recently touched on that a bit in the last show regarding Chali 2na's Against the Current project. Personally, I think it's an easy/convenient way to support indie artists -- particularly, if you like good music and if you're kinda low on funds yourself. Sometimes there a (reasonable) minimum donation amount to get some new music. Sometimes it's a "pay what you can/want". A few months ago, while perusing The A.V. Club, I read about Rhymesayer artist P.O.S. and how he had to cancel a tour due to medical issues - specifically, because he needs a kidney transplant . Then later - via Facebook posts from other artists - I found out about the fundraiser set up to raise money for his transplant and medical bills. If there's one thing that I learned while living with my ex-ex-ex-roommate, it's that musicians can often be pretty fucked when it comes to medical emergencies. A...
