... because I will no longer be able to say that the last hand down my shirt belonged to a totally pissed German dude dressed as a patch-work chicken... (and THAT my friends, is an awesome beginning to a blog...) It can only go downhill from here. So.. back in Germany - good times! My first weekend back was a quiet one - it is so nice to be back home in Ulm again! Back to the apartment, the little Plus store, the Blautal centre... the Muenster! The Muenster platz looks so empty without the Christmas markets :( So very much space - I kinda feel the need to have a game of tiggy or something everytime I'm there. Wow... so I'm going home tomorrow. And at the moment I am listening to Wilson Philips - ... read more

I think Fedde le Gand put it best when he said 'I LOVE THIS CITY!' Of course he was talking about Detroit, and whilst I have never been to Detroit, and know very little about the city, I can say, without a doubt, that if Fedde ever visited Brighton, he would re-release the track 'Put your hands or for Detroit' with the altered lyrics 'I THINK THIS CITY IS NOT WITHOUT IT'S OWN CHARM, BUT YOU SHOULD REALLY PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR BRIGHTON BECAUSE - I LOVE THIS CITY!!' and maybe he'd also make the filmclip slightly less degrading to women. Annnywho. I love Brighton. Always have. When I was like 11, and Meg was still Margaret and Margaret was like 13, my mum (who was still called mum) took us over to the UK ... read more

It always surprises me how many people I run into who haven't seen 'the day after tomorrow'. Not to be confused (mainly by Aussie kids of course... or maybe that was just me) with the book series 'tomorrow, when the war began', 'the day after tomorrow' stars Jake Gyllenhaal (or as he should be known as - the cute brother of the most beautiful woman in the world - Maggie Gyllenhaal bring it on Brendan!! Maggie is hotter than Jake any day of the week, maybe not prettier - he is a very pretty boy - but definitely hotter) and is about crazy weather patterns that start happening really quickly due to global warming etc. I didn't see it for the longest time, just assuming it to be another wanky action movie - which,you know, it ... read more

... only one step away. Like four - oh crap! No, this blog is supposed to be about four COUNTRIES in one day... not seasons. Oh well... :P Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another addition of Grotsky's Blog! This episode is brought to you by McDonald's Diam McFlurry "we think it's worth sitting on a fence for" Please however be advised that there is a slight delay on the 'susan's world (focusing specifically on particular regions of Germany, France and England) tour' blog service due to a signaling malfunction at laptop and card reader stations (can you tell that I've been hanging around in a lot of London tube stations?). Okay - when we last left our wonderful world watcher she had finally awaken from a deep deep sleep that she was put into by ... read more

Okay, As I write this I am having the first relaxing day in what feels like 2 weeks... In actual fact it's been maybe 2 days, but my time is all screwed up, so please excuse any rash overstatements. Also please excuse any inevitable mistakes that will be present in this blog as I am writing on a french keyboard, which is not that easy as it looks like this... You don't want to know how long it took me to find the apostrophe - let's just all be happy that I found it okay? Well, this week I suffered a hard loss. My traveling companion and general life companion Bender (known to most as simply my laptop - trust me, I would marry that thing if I could... but if the movie Bicentennial Man taught ... read more
