Die Kurznachrichten

Days of the week in German: Sonntag, Montag, Dienstag, Mittwoch, Donnerstag, Freitag, Samstag
So.: Emerged from the club we had been dancing in at 7am. Realized it was the day of the Berlin marathon, so went to go check out the start of it near the Reichstag. Eventually arrived home at 10:30am. Strangely still not tired. Ate breakfast on the balcony, slept for two hours, showered, and did yoga on the roof in the sunshine. In the evening, saw 'Die Unendliche Geschichte' (The Neverending Story) for the first time.
Mo.: Work, work, work...then a conference at Martin Gropius Bau about Bauhaus in the 21st century. In the auditorium they have classic Bauhaus tubular steel chairs in auditorium seating format--that is, in connected rows with fold-down seats. That was pretty neat. The reception after had free food and booze, bonus. Passed out as soon as I got home.
Di.: Work. Dinner at the neighbor's (bruschetta and burgers, an interesting combo). Then out to a party in an old Stasi (Nazi secret police) office building. It was a cool event.
Mi.: Spent the morning at the Modell Bauhaus exhibit at the Martin Gropius Bau learning all about Bauhaus and checking out Christine Hill's "Build Your Own Bauhaus" installation. Plus a small show on Le Corbusier with many of his original wooden models! This afternoon, I'm headed to the preview of Art Forum Berlin, a huge art show along the lines of the Frieze art fair in London.
Bis bald,
D.
