Opfer der blinder Anhänger

I am currently listening to Yannick Noah and typing with mitts - on a German keyboard and not too bad,. That's becauxe I have found a solution to the interminhably smokey internet cafews here in Saarbrücken. Untiöl thje newq ban comews into effect Jan. 1 2008, zhe best spot is the back room at Tele-Med Internet Cafe, which should refer to the possibility of quick resuscitation, but more likely explains wqhy the keyboard switches to Orımjğ, er Turkish through some as yet unidentified set of keystrokes. At least the window opens...

Anyway - you werew looking for the apartmewnt update: Yesterday I was trying to choosew betwwen apples and oranges... and I finally found a peach. A ground-level, fully-renovated 2- room apartmwent with hardwood floors, gorgeous bathtub and butcherblock countewr in supewr quiert street a couple blocks from St. Johannesmarkt. So I told the guy I'd like to remnt it ... and he gfave me the run-around. Apparently he doesn't like renting to Auslanders, but instead of just telling me he didn't want to rent it, I wasted a day playing phone tag. Guess everyone should know what it feels like to be subjected to prejudice.

On the bright side, the lovely shared apartment in St Johannesmarkt is still free, so that's where I'm heading tonight with my new Badteppich (some sort of spongy bath mat thing) and my sleeping bag.
Boy, will I be happy to starrt work! And cook my own food!

Next mission: bed shopping.
