Notes from Germany
I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at nate(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

Tonight I'm going to see Besser play here in Lüneburg. Sweet! I hope you all had a happy Halloween. I didn't dress up or anything and I just stayed home zum Kuscheln (I'll be rockin my party tonight). We did get a few trick or treaters. I, like a bad grown up, didn't have candy so I had to give out coins. I was thinking about giving them these fruit granola bar things I found in a drawer but then I realized, that had I gotten that when I was younger, I would have egged the house or blown up the mailbox or something. So they got coins. It probably cost less in the long run.
Halloween in Germany is still kind of new. In the last 4 years it has gotten popular, thanks mainly to the holiday marketing industry. So although it is celebrated, the Germans don't get into it as much as they do in America. Give them time. The kids are into it because they get to dress up and get free candy. The adults naturally aren't so much into it because they didn't grow up with it. They've never know the excitement that children have on Halloween. What is cool though is that when kids come to the door, instead of yelling "Trick or Treat", they yell "Was süßes, sonst was Böses", which sorta means "give something sweet otherwise you'll get something evil." Ah kids, aren't they sweet?

We are all doomed!
Look here. I wonder where Rumsfeld's cryogenic freezing chamber is? Be on the lookout for a Scotsman weighing one metric ton, wearing a kilt, and going by the name of Fat Bastard. He'll know whats up. Thursday, October 30, 2003
Man I was almost done writing a sweet post with all kinds of links and humor to make all my thousands of loyal readers giggle with glee, when my browser "unexpectedly quit". Stupid technology. Anyway it had to do with this. We're all gonna die. Yes I know everybody does, but it might come sooner than you think. Then again, maybe not. Who knows? Not me. Just saying. Ya know?
Oh so that is where all you Chachis come from.
