What I love right now…
Amanda Seyfried
She is the most talented, down-to-earth actress. I liked her in Mamma Mia, but I fell in love with her after reading a hilarious, raw interview with her about her up-and-coming-stardom. Every interview I’ve seen her since about her many new films, just makes me like her that much more. I really want to see Chloe.
Drake
I know him best as “Jimmy” from Degrassi. Jimmy was the fictional star basketball player at the beloved Canadian high school, until he was shot and paralyzed from the waist down. Now, he’s out of the wheelchair and Canada and shining as this year’s number one hip-hop artist. The best part? He’s a BAR-MITZVAHED , Gold-chai-necklace-wearin’ Jew! I think we have a Jewish Bachelor of the Month for July!
Summer in Berlin
When I got to Berlin, my boss told me: “Molly, winter is half-death in this country.” And it was. The hardest winter of my life. But 7 months of freezing cold misery are vorbei and Berlin is fully alive again. Nude sunbathers gather everyday in the large park Tiergarten (as a prude American, I object), men sit at outdoor cafes watching soccer matches and the Tour de France. Friends bike ride to Berlin’s peripheral lakes, picnics in tow. Everyone is in love. My friend even created a facebook profile for “Berlin Summer” and then fb married it. Now if only Germans would discover air-conditioning…
The Mars500 Program
Space is the final frontier: with an infinite universe beyond Earth, humans have yet to experience anything beyond the Moon (although, we didn’t really go there either. Anyone else catch the “FOX TV special” I saw ten years ago…?). But if there was a chance you could go to Mars, but first you had to participate in a stimulated Mars expedition, which isolates you for 524 days, would you do it?! Well that’s what six astronauts have started last month, going into lockdown until the end of 2011. Most of my friends think they should have made this into a reality TV series, but I guess the ESA wasn’t into the idea. I mean, they’re not NASA. But really, what are these astronauts doing right now? I want to know!
You
Because, you read this blog, even though this last post was really random and not so much about Jews in Berlin. Do I get a free pass, though, because both Berlin and a Jew made the list?
I love this post! It is so Molly
Almost died without my air-conditioning last week, Germany needs to get with the program.
But be careful with German air-condidioners…e.g. the Deutsche Bahn uses some which work only until 32 °C. Here in Dortmund sometimes at night we had more than that. But DBahn promised to build until 2014 some trains with air-conditioners which work until 35 or even 40 °C.
