Sorry for the lack of blog activity the last few weeks. I´ve been in Finland the past 2.5 weeks working (most of the time...there were a few parties in that span of time). Being away from a computer has more or less resulted in a dead blog. It seems that traveling (and not being bored with a computer) is bad for maintaining a blog. Trust me, I`m not running low on wacky ideas and irrelevant opinions. It is just time; that`s my excuse. My blog-partner is also too busy, though she just finished her job in Kassel, so maybe you`ll be hearing more of her wild ideas next year. Speaking of next year, Ines and I have packed all our things and have left Kassel. Next year we start a new existence in Leipzig. More adventures to come...

Until we`re ready to blog about those adventures, we wish everyone a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
