As you can see, the blog has moved to a new url. The old start page was a bit of a hack—I won’t go into Wordpress internals, but it was. And it was also not going anywhere. Besides, I wanted to use the main domain for a sort of professional profile, and this blog has a distinctly informal feel. So here it now hides.

In other news, there are very little other news. Exams are coming up, so everyone else is working their butt off, and I have little else to do but to work myself. The weather gods decided to punish me for bragging to people the other day about the great weather, so now it’s taken a turn for the colder and wetter. You don’t expect Africa to be cold, but unlike Europe, there’s no insulation or heating in the houses (I don’t think I’ve ever seen single-pane windows before, and here two walls of the room consist of them), so .

Anyway, instead of a proper post, please accept a random lump of links to pictures.

We’ll start nice and cute with a squirrel adopted by a dog with puppies. Awwww. This chipmunk is also cute, not to mention the beagador puppy. For the bird lovers out there, here’s a charming story about a little bird who used her own body as a dam to save her kids.

Now let’s look at something less cute: 15 pictures of bedrooms from German brothels (no people, don’t worry, just rooms). Actually, the page title says Germamy, but I assume they meant my old homeland. I must say that I expected the rooms to look more dodgy than they in fact do. Some of these rooms look like passable hotel rooms. One of them also has the same shape as my old apartment in Sickla, which makes me wonder if anyone from there came up with a business idea and brought it to Germany.

Finally, here’s one of those catch 22’s that life just keeps on handing out.

Now I’m going to go hide under the covers and hope I survive another night of tropic cold.
