Attention German Blog Readers
This is the postcard. For anyone who speaks German, I’d appreciate a translation. Hell, even if you don’t speak German, feel free to submit your guesses my way.

Juliet Sends A Postcard From Germany
Felix! I have no idea what this card says. There’s a restaurant near here named "Felix." I’m going to try to eat there tonight. I say try because everything closes so pooping early here. 10:00 marks the beginning of quiet time, and I’m not kidding, you can hear your blood circulate. The hotel shuts off…
Not As Advertised
Found a letter from Steph (who works for my landlord, Ted). This was on the back: Sadly, the letter was neither spooky, nor was it evil. It did, however, advertise a rather tastful loft for rent in the Bucktown area, on the corner of Armitage and Milwaukee. It’s a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1300 square…

Sorry
Feeling super exhausted this evening. All I really want is sleep, so there’s not much to be had on the blog front. I guess what we’re experiencing now is pretty much the reason I started this thing in the first place: you can seemingly only have so many days of "I went to work, I…
Identity
This morning, standing on the Damen platform waiting for the train… I started thinking about identity. My own, mainly. I realized just how much stock I give work, and how much I define myself through my work. In many ways, it’s good to have this kind of work ethic, to be personally invested in what…
Confession
I felt really, really good last night (part of it, I’m sure, was due to the three beers I sank). But honestly – I felt really good about writing again. I’m happy I stayed home instead of going out, and I’m happy with what I got down on the page. Earlier in the day, I…
Colts
Holy Christ Almighty. I don’t tend to watch sports of any kind, but I’ve been wanting to watch the Colts play lately. Earlier tonight, I flipped on the game and saw they were down by like 21 points. Around 11:00 PM, I passed by the television… wondering if they lost. Turns out, they ended up…
You Are Beautiful
Saw this last week, as I was walking to work. This is quite touching, especially since one of the first times I saw this type of sticker was near my workplace. For those who don’t know: you-are-beautiful.com

On the way to work, I stopped for a quick October-esque picture:
Away
by Felix Jung Beside a grove, I see a doe take flightalong the ditch that runs along theinterstate. My car is fast, and as I pass her, I can see the glance she givesin my direction. I am afraid she’ll stray,approach the road and risk the distance. I think of you, so many years ago,…
I-65
I push down, and the needle jumps to eighty-
five. The cars I pass fall back as quickly
as the farms, the browning fields of wheat
Carla’s Computer Update
I got a call tonight from Carla, asking about the best place to get a computer fixed. Unfortunately, it sounds like Betsy is now officially dead. I offered to try to take another look at it, but given my work schedule the past few weeks… I don’t know when that might be. Carla mentioned grabbing…
This Thing Is Huge
I got home around 2:30 PM. Actually, it was one of those "gotta go to the bathroom so I’m going to pull up next to my door and throw on the hazards and run inside to the bathroom" sort of arrivals. But as I was unloading my stuff and walking in… I noticed this rather…
