Quick Update

Woah! It's been a long time since I last posted. Sorry for the delay, I have no convenient excuse like being trapped in the Serbian backwoods or being kidnapped by gypsies. To catch you up to speed briefly, I went from Serbia to Budapest where I had the good fortune to meet up with Marta, a friend from my Estonia work camp in transit to Romania. We spent a few days together, had a particularly fine time in a city I originally didn't care for one iota (Budapest, you should know, brought me nothing but trouble for the first 3 days I interacted with it, so to have this opinion reversed after just 2 more days is a decent feat), and then continued our respective travels.

I wound up in Berlin, where I have now been for a few days and have accomplished very little in terms of sight seeing, deep thinking, or even resting up. I'm at a tough point in my traveling when seeing new things doesn't feel as... new, as it used to. As a result I'm getting a little worn and haggered in strictly mental ways (yes mom, I'm still brushing my teeth and occasionally taking a shower), but I'm resolutely not letting this set back my attitude. So what if I'm in Berlin on a Saturday night and decide I just want to stay in? Sure, it's a crime against humanity not to take advantage of perhaps one of the best night lifes in the world, but if I don't feel like it, and I don't have anyone to share it with, nor the motivation to find someone, the to hell with it. I'll not be made to feel bad about a choice I could just as easily have made the other way to my own misery.

so that's what I've been doing: not much.

Luckily, doing little rarely keeps me from having much to talk about, so I'll be getting more blogs up shortly.

As always, thanks for your patience and patronage.

Cheers,

Weber (on the Lamb)
