roomie and I took a walk to the botanical garden, but it was overcrowded. we saw the nearby ferris wheel. "we'll go on the ferris wheel and then have waffles! it will be a PERFECT Sunday!" she exclaimed. I reluctantly agreed. on the first turn in that fully transparent cabin I nearly had a panic attack. then I composed myself and took some pictures. later we went to a little café and had waffles. I acted like a 1980s East Berliner for her amusement. she was very happy, which made me happy #klife
@kolya Sounds like fun and you took a nice image. Curious about what would acting like an 80s East Berliner be like?
@lawyersgunsnmoney a lot of it is the accent and the rest is like comparing everything to East German standards 40 years ago, like the country had just gone under last week. eg loudly calculating the DDR currency value of the waffle price and the percent of national debt we could have written off, had we sold waffles at such outrageous prices etc. just stupid shit. 😅
@kolya 😆 That was an eventful period of time and we didn’t have a view in from the US, so it’s interesting to me.
