Absent Three Days / Learned Three Days

to nobody in particular:

...so, on thursday evening, i went down to Potsdamer Platz to see The Dark Knight finally (opening day was thursday), as Sarah and i came up with an agreement about seeing it together (Hannah, babysitter, feeding, great movie, etc), so we will probably go see it next week or after with Hannah, and if Hannah needs to be taken out, i will do it, since i saw it already -- good arrangement...

...anyway, yes, i did like it...

...yes, i enjoyed it...

...it was very, very good...

...no point in writing much about it, since so much already has been written by others...

...in other news, Hannah got her passport already -- only 12 days (9 business days) later -- not bad at all...

...the Bundesliga has started this past weekend, and this is week #2 -- nice to see Bayern München in the middle of the table, but i doubt they'll be there for too long...

...and of course it's nice to see Blackburn start the year off with a win...

...World Cup qualifying games for European Countries begin soon (one's already been played, i think)...

...German class begins again in nine days...

..."you learn something new every day"...

...yesteryesterday, i learned: if one ever wants to know what it feels like to be a woman, go to the Sony Center movie theater in Berlin on a busy opening night for an anticipated spectacular movie, buy a large drink, enjoy said movie and go to the restroom after the movie -- there will be a line for the men's room -- a line you will have to wait in just to pee...

...yesterday, i learned: as of August, New Zealand is ranked 111th in the world in soccer by FIFA -- one spot up from July!...(there is still a way to go to reach 2nd place Germany)...

...today, i learned: sleeping in, even if it is only until 7:45am, is nice...

how do passport photos work for babies? i mean, they grow so fast, and how easily can they maintain a "neutral face" while the photo is being taken?
