Chicken & Deer

Family, friends, general internet strangers...

Have you missed me? Yes? I don't believe you and you're very bad at lying.

How do I know that you're lying?

Duh, because I told you last month that I started a tumblr and I've been doing a lot of that. So I actually haven't been gone at all.

Currently, I'm trying to figure out a way to crosspost some items at the same time that doesn't involve ctrl+a, then ctrl+c and then ctrl+v. Tumblr has been amazingly convenient for updating throughout the day and sharing my random finds.

However, the only way (so far) that I think that I can realize my crossposting dream is to link my Tumblr rss feed to my Blogger "post by email" email address. That comes with it's own problems, namely a lot of email junk in the posts (which you might have caught if you've subscribed to my Blogger rss feed). At any rate, I'm working on a solution that is more acceptable to me. So, if you want a link to visit to waste time and look at stuff while you're at work or doing whatever it is that you do on the internet (you little cheeky monkeys), then visit http://rabenteuerlich.tumblr.com

Aside from that, I don't really have any new stuff to report. Currently, I'm in the process of planning my super sexy 31st birthday, 31 being the sexiest of ages (that is, until I turn 32). And...*drumroll, y'all* I'm planning Pickles' (henceforth "Favorite Sister for Life") highly anticipated trip to Hamburg at the end of May. I won't lie, I'm fucking psyched.

So, speaking of Pickles. She sent me a picture the other day of the old watering hole down Route 66 on my way to my grandma's place. If you recall, I wrote about it way back in the day. It looks like it's shut down now. I like to think that it's due to the new menu changes:

Here's the place back in 2005, when it sold chicken & cold beer...and the place was always packed.



Then, I guess at some point, they changed their unique selling point to chicken & old deer...so...yeah. Nobody fucking wants that. Imagine if Ludacris named his third album "Chicken-n-Deer"? That doesn't even make any sense and I'd be really concerned about Luda's mental health (much more than I am just on a normal basis).


At any rate, you can't pour out an old deer on the ground in memory of your old homies. Ok, you probably could, but that's gross...and really unhygienic.

Still, R.I.P. Outwest Pub -- we hardly knew ye (I didn't even learn the place's proper name until I saw this very picture).

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....

I’ve been fighting a huge craving for Taco Bell all day long. I don’t know how the idea got in my head, but I can’t seem to shake it. It’s not even so much that I want tacos or Mexican(-ish) food. In fact, I think if someone were to make a taco and put it right in front of me (ok, admittedly, I would eat it). However, there would be a part of my soul that would be entirely disappointed that it wasn’t Taco Bell. I found the Unofficial Taco Bell Blog this afternoon. I highly recommend it, especially if you (in their words) want to know more about the "seemingly endless wonders of Taco Bell". If you are jonesing for the Bell, however, this site will do nothing but compound the problem. Maybe part of the reason that I can’t stop thinking about it, is because Tunde is coming to Hamburg next Tuesday. And when I think Tunde , I think about the Air Force. When I think of the Air Force, I think about how the only Taco Bells in Germany are located on Air Force bases. These location...
