Workshop Booze Up VII - New Year, Same Plague, Same Booze Up, Deja Vu

[Jubal]

Shockingly, I'm not planning to eat any humans. I'm fairly sure there will be plenty of more appealing and less legally and morally problematic foods on offer

Indeed I'm hoping to pick Glaurung's brain for recommendations...

I'm glad you qualified that phrase - I'm quite attached to my brain and would very much like it not to be picked, whether for eating or any other purpose.

Yes, I can assure you that is so. As you're in Germany, many of them involve some combination of pork, ham, sausage, cabbage, and potato, but I think Frankfurt is sufficiently cosmopolitan that you'll find other things too.

Nomnomnom

I am yet to have much Frankfurt food experience still, I am bad at going touristing when already super tired (and my damn wrists seem to be flaring up a bit again after a fairly good couple of weeks) but lidl has at least provided some basics. All hail lidl.

And here's a couple of pictures:




Complete with bonus hoppity crow friend

Thankyou! There's another nice squirrel shot to start this next set, I found where its hole was and got a picture of it peeking out Also featuring in order: buzzard, jay, wood mouse, and tortoise, all from the parks of Frankfurt

I'm trying to switch to yahoo as my default search provider because today google pissed me off with its censored search results while I was searching for examples of jokes.

[Jubal]

Oh, what did it censor?

I use ecosia and duckduckgo as my two main search engines usually - ecosia is kinda nice in that it's eco-friendly, DDG is quite privacy centric.

Happy Independence Day, fellow Exilianites

Happy indie day

I have finished four very hectic days of medieval-ing and am now v sleepy. It was good though!

[comrade_general]

This looks amazing. Nastalgia and actual footage just like the first one. Heavy breathing.

Who should I interview next for Exilian Articles? Ideas welcome

Meanwhile, I plough through much much paperwork. Submitted more than fifteen different bits of documentation this week to help claim the 1500+ euros that my university owes me, some of which is unpaid from over a year ago now. And I've got a paper to write which I didn't know about in advance, because they didn't tell us the conference was going to do a published proceedings until we were literally at the conference. All rather frustrating and I'm feeling very stressed about it all. :/
