Today and Yesterday
Yesterday I went to the MQ and stuff, walked around, etc....came back and met Mike, we went to dinner at Schnitzel King, which was good and fairly cheap. Afterward he packed for his trip to Zurich, and after he left Natalie and I watched Bridget Jones's Diary. I can't remember what else I did that day....it wasn't terrificly exciting.....
Today was a little more interesting....I was awoken early (10:00) by the cleaning lady who didn't look very happy to see me, so I quickly showered, grabbed my computer and headed to the MQ to check my e-mail. After about an hour and a half there, I left to go back home, but at the Karlsplatz hub I started going towards the U1 instead of the U4, so I thought I'd take the U1 to Reumannplatz since I've never been to that part of the city. I got off one stop short of the end of the line, Keplerplatz, and saw a cute church, so I stopped in. Afterwards I got an order of french fries from a little stand for only €1 (I had to wait a while for them to cook it, but I was proud that I understood what they said to me!) and while eating them I watched some kids play soccer in a park. After that I walked around some more and went to H&M and found a really funny cheap button down shirt in my size (XL) for only €1.90, which was reduced from €14.90, and any size other than XL was €7.90. For the first time, being fat saved me money! Anyway, I bought the shirt and this really nice green t-shirt to wear with it for €7.90. I also stopped at a TurboSchuhe (like Payless Shoes) and a C&M or A&M or something...another cheap clothing store. Anyway, after that I thought I would try and find the thrift store that I saw on the Wiedner Hauptstrasse, so I went back to Karlsplatz and took a Strassenbahn down the Wiedner Hauptstrasse for a while, and got off after the strassenbahn went underground and walked back toward the city center to look for the thrift store. I found the most ridiculously strange church....unfortunately it wasn't open, but it hardly looked like a church from the outside....more like a prison. Anyway, at some point while walking down the street I realized that I was no longer in possession of the H&M bag....so I spent the next hour re-tracing my steps trying to figure out where I could have left it.....long story short, I never found it, and after going to two different H&M's I found the shirt again, and luckily the same T-shirt that I had purchased before was only €4.90 at this store, so I bought two. Even though I essentially lost €10, it was still a good day, and now I have these two fabulous t-shirts and this hi-larious button-down shirt....it's white with little green tennis rackets making vertical stripes. It's hilarious....it's no wonder it was so cheap.
After getting home, I was so tired that i didn't feel like waiting in line for the ballet and standing through it too, so I called Gretchen and we had dinner at her place instead. After a delicious meal of potatoes, sausage, and frozen vegetables, we tried to make these strange dessert dumpling things.....they were almost gummi in consistency........it was pretty weird.
Tomorrow I'm going to the Albertina with Gretchen, and in the evening I'm going to see Rigoletto. Yay for Opera! It'll be nice to do a musical thing again....it's been far too long.
