Because I am a fanboy (1)

Pomona College, for obvious reasons. Click on photo to enlarge, and yes, photo is crooked, sorry. The night before I took the picture was one of the more horrible ones in my life so far.

Hamburg

As some of you may know, I am currently in Hamburg. It is my fourth time here, and that may be part of the reason why Hamburg seems an infinitely more dull city than Bucharest. Here is the main reason why. Below, a photo of yours truly (click to enlarge (admit it, it’s a pretty awesome photo!), and if you follow this link, you’ll find some more random photos (including two more of yours truly) from Hamburg, far fewer ones than the Bucharest photos.

Following this post of my own costume, here’s a picture from a so-called Veedelszog, a carnival procession restricted to a particular urban district. This is Köln-Longerich. Photograph by Azatoth.

You’re the one for me, Fatty
