I'm lazy.

Aaah sorry for having been so lazy with the blogging! I had a huge presentation last Thursday and I was pretty much camped out in the library. Luckily, it's kind of a lovely place to have to spend an absolutely ridiculous amount of time. Newly renovated and everything. It even won the Architekturpreis Berlin 2009 in October! Robart's, it is not.

The presentation went pretty well..it was on transitions in Croatian historiography dealing with the experience of the Ustase-regime and it was for one of my favourite courses, so I didn't want to screw up.

The weekend before, I went to a crazy Israeli gay party in the basement of a little bar near Rosenthaler Platz...it felt a lot like being in Israel again, except with more Madonna and Eurythmics, and pretty, slender boys dancing with each other. But the whole very chill, unmistakeably Israeli vibe was still there. The dozens of Israeli flags hanging from the walls also helped...

We arrived a little late - the dance floor wasn't packed anymore - but the party just kept going and going. And it was all very relaxed..Definitely want to go to another Meschugge party soon! Read more here. (In German, but have fun with Google Translate!)

I also went to see a film at Berlin's first Arabic Film Festival the night before. There was a Yemeni movie showing at Babylon, and a friend/former colleague of mine really knows her stuff when it comes to these kinds of events...unfortunately, I missed the later screening of "Salt of the Sea", which I'm sure was amazing.

Will post again tomorrow...am exhausted!
