Madonna was here two nights ago. Tickets cost 300 E a pop, which is like $500 and the Germans paid out for Madge. I hope she didn't flash a picture of A.H. when she does her montage of starving children/George Bush stage show.
I've been back to Germany for one week and even though I am currently entrenched in a battle with fruit flies in our tiny apartment, I feel jet-lag free. Today a student asked me if I liked die Barrakuda. She meant Sarah Palin, and then she told me that the Wilson sisters of Heart were upset by Palin's use of "Barracuda" at the RNC. Really? I just googled, and sadly my student knew more about this topic than me. Anyway, I don't think the Wilson sisters should be taking their politics too seriously, they are, after all, members of the band Heart. And Heart is exactly the type of music I think Palin would like. I don't mean that in any other way than as a fact. I dig her Tina Fey of the Tundra vibe.
I sent my request for my absentee ballot in this week. Minnesota is super high-tech and apparently I can get an email ballot and then mail it in. I'll bring it in to show my students, they are more jazzed about this election than me.
Besides fruit flies and watching cnn.com news videos every night (they're like our version of a Fireside Chat) I have been obsessed with reading food blogs. My renewed culinary enthusiasm is due to the fact that in 19 days I get an oven!
These are the most interesting:
