Berlin Day Two to Neurotitan

I gave a smiley to Neurotitan last spring, and it is still there, hanging from the ceiling right near the cash register.  I added one of my new MOO cards.  This might indeed bring fame and prosperity.  Ha!  Not!  (Pic to follow–blog is acting up again,)

Berlin Day One

Keeping track of where I was, is, and will be.  Yesterday I walked a loop from Greifswalder, right onto Danzinger, right onto Landsberger Allee, which turned into Platz de Vereinten Nationen, whch turned into Mollstrasse, which turned into Greifswalder again.  Lots of political stickers, mostly for antifa demonstrations, one for Warmlaufen fuer den Widerstand – Atomkraft Kaltstellen!  One for a demonstration on November 12 in Berlin that says “Freiheit statt Angst, stoppt den uberwachungswahn,” which translates into “Freedom not Fear, Stop the Surveillance.”

I found one sticker referring to a controversy regarding Thor Steiner clothing that you read about on Wikipedia.  The manufacturer’s label included two Norwegian runes, and various authorities have identified wearing Thor Steiner clothing as a sign of neo-Nazi membership.  The label is not allowed in certain government buildings or football stadiums.  The sticker shows a fist clenched in front of two clothing labels and reads “Stop Thor Steiner, gegen Nazi-mode!”

Single-mindedness

Stickerkitty joined a writing group for peer review and discussion.  Not sure if she can run with the big dogs, or even if she wants to.  But, it’s not good to swat at the paw that feeds you.

We’ll give it a go and keep you posted from B-e-r-l-i-n-!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am dreaming about stickers every night.  It’s wild.  Sometimes it’s a sticker frenzy; sometimes there are obstacles along the way (like I’m getting run over by a subway train).  Last night I got lost in a scary neighborhood, trying to get to Kreuzburg, but ended up in some apocalyptic Terminator environment.

Found this online: “The aim of many forms of meditation is to reach single-mindedness.”

Stromausfall

I’ve had this sticker on my desk for weeks, and only today did I put 2+2 together to see what is being represented: guys (I assume) in hoodies.  All of a sudden, I realized they look like some of the punks I see on other antifa stickers.  I found the translation for stromausfall to be “blackout.”  Major DUH on my part, but the sticker is superb.  (It is especially Duh since the reproduction here below is so obvious!)  Oh well. 

Back yard smackdown

Big kitteh + little kitteh.

Update

WordPress is acting up.  Two minutes ago, I can’t type.  Now I can.

I’m overwhelmed by how much work I need to do with the Posse database and Stickerkitty blog.  Lately, I’ve been wondering what will be my Life’s Oeuvre (har-de-har) and alas, it sure won’t be Guernica.  Aside from my super-fantastic job at SLU, which I L-O-V-E, it will be the Posse digital collection.  As far as I can tell, it is unique.  Yay.
