Berlin is the Best

I went to Berlin. What a bang up place that is! Prahahah is the g.d. doldrums. Oh! Get over it Tania. I'm always boo-hooing about the state of things: Prague, teaching, life. But the facts are: everything's alright (Prague, teaching, life). I'm homesick (although as one of you prescient types reminded me, "there's nothing for you here. Don't come home") and scared witless half the time (allah only knows why) but I'm also, some of the time, strangely happy. Sadder than I am at home, and happier.

I miss having friends. Oh, I have a couple alright, and lovely people they are, but somehow its not the...same. Well, why should I want it to be--why move half way aroudn the world and want for things to be the same?

its come to this

Egads. So I applied to be a admin asst cum proofreader type (oh , the puns the puns, the piss-poor puns!) for a PORN company here in Prague. Sadly, that job has gone to some plucky American fellow with undootedly far more interest in watching porn all day than I. Mais, however, the guy asked me if I wanted to be an EXTRA in a porno. Nay need to disrobe he says. Perhaps the email is better printed here in its entirety:

"Basically you have some speaking-roll, and after the setup, the fornicators take over. For instance, you are in a bar with your beax, some slutty bitch comes in and starts hitting on him, you get mad, and, well, your "boyfriend" makes sweet sweet love to her on the bar, to your dismay. You don't have to sit there and stare at the penis moving in and out of the vagina or anything like that."

Imagine that! I don't have to "stare at the penis moving in and out of the vagina or anything like that." Well what fun in this? Man alive. I wrote back to ask how much it pays.
