Week roundup

I started my week by drinking beer and cleaning our flat beyond recognition. On Tuesday, W. celebrated his 5-year “Berliniversary” at Barbie Deinhoffs and I had my first experience with police profiling as we were walking past Kotti to get on the U-Bahn. It was the day of the Oranienplatz eviction and a demonstration had been announced so the police had blocked the entire area and stopped us on our way. The conversation went something like this: “Are you going to the demonstration?” – “Err… no.” – “According to our profile, you look like you could, though. So we have to search you.” Oh well, it was pretty harmless in the end, I have been searched more thoroughly at most music festivals or the door of Berghain. The rest of the week was pretty calm, apart from some film festival celebrations. I made amazing food for friends (and for no reason, I don’t know what’s wrong with me – and it was pretty good!), drank coffee, read books and almost slept for an entire day on Saturday. Hello exciting life.
