Berlin's Best Karaoke Dens

post from Gridskipper on 06 October 2008 01:00:00 PM. © Gridskipper

If you're among those in Berlin who swore off clubbing on Monday night, I commend your resolve and want to support it by offering an ersatz (alternative) to the typical mind-numbing weekend revelry that dominates this city's nightlife: Karaoke! Good clean fun for the whole dysfunctional family. Berlin has a handful of great little locales where you and your friends can take over the stage, or a private room, or even make your own low-budget music video. For introverts, karaoke may seem torturous, but fear not. Watching Germans sing karaoke is a guaranteed good time. Who else would take such pride in belting out that Scorpions classic "Wind of Change" while dressed entirely in leather and stonewashed denim? No one, that's who. It's like a musical freak show with drinks, and sometimes brunch, and, just sometimes, drinks, brunch, and cosmic bowling. No need to thank us, we're just doing our part to keep you informed so your New Year's resolution makes it till February, or at least Monday.

Moments Like This Cheer Me Up

post from Ferroever on 06 October 2008 11:45:00 AM. © Ferroever

Sometimes I give homework. I ask the students to make a sentence with the given words. Most students do the bare minimum - 'I want rice'- but one student always writes short conversations between people to illustrate the words.
Here's one that made me laugh. Laughing is good.

Child: Mom! I want a new comic, please.
Mom: What is it?
Child: It's a Doraemon comic.
Mom: How much is it?
Child: It's 450 yen. [$4.20]
Mom: Hmmm. That's more expensive than Miss Maria's clothes.

Cheap Eats in NYC

post from Gridskipper on 06 October 2008 11:00:00 AM. © Gridskipper

main%20image.jpg With a recession seeming all but inevitable, you can say goodbye to those 15-course tasting menus from Masa and the thousand-dollar gold-flecked ice cream sundaes you've been gobbling up. Gone are the days of young hedge-funders doing rails of coke and throwing around wads of cash. The hipsters of Williamsburg will soon have to trade in their faux poverty of the creative class for the un-ironic poverty of the unemployed. But, before we all head down to the breadline, you may consider getting one last cheap meal. Here are a few of our favorite places to nosh for next to nothing as the recession comes to New York.

I can't wait to go home, have a bath, drink half a bottle of wine, and go to sleep.
