Fasnacht

So Fasnacht is part Karnival, part traditional swiss festival to scare away the evil winter spirits. In the Canton of Zürich, where I live (in case anyone missed that memo), which is a protestant canton, it is basically an excuse to be loud and get very drunk. And dress up like a crazy person. Here is a video to demonstrate some Fasnacht activities. :)

Here are my pictures from Fasnacht:

Me showing off my super awesome makeup...

And super awesome hair....

Eating a pretzel before getting a train to Zürich...

The restaurant where we ate, complete with crazy saxophone band....

Traditional Swiss Rösti with Spiegeleier (fried eggs)

Looking cute on the train home.... believe it or not, he was totally willing to be seen in public with me... =)

New Room!

So I finally found a place, and moved almost a month ago. I'm really (!!!) late posting this, sorry..... I'm living in the top floor of a family house that has been turned into an apartment for three students. We will have our own kitchen up here as of the end of this week, and share a bathroom. It's a nice place, I love my room, the other living spaces are clean and nice, and I'm very close to the train station. :)

My desk...

My closet...

My bed.... (note my short hair.... long story)

Or maybe not my bed.... (those are my concert clothes he's sleeping on)

Niki petting another of the cats. I'm not supposed to show this picture to his dog...

Bedroom floor picnic.... once upon a time I was being shy about cooking in the downstairs kitchen (they'll finish building the upstairs kitchen this week), so he brought me food.... Awww.... :)
