Time for a blog copout...the list.

Okay, so I really feel like Stuttgart is mine now.  I know where I like to go but even better I know where I want to explore, I don't care about the supermodel idiot parade on Konigstrasse, and in a pinch, I can seek out a nerve-calming nutella und banane crepe anywhere.  This last week I got to settle a bit into a routine that my inner virgo loves...wake up naturally, 2 cups of coffee with either a book, internet, or study of something, then run, then eat, then walk across town. If I have time I may pick up a thing or two in the city or I just head to the theatre to train.  My body totally loves this rhythm, my mind too.  Which is why it was soooooo hard to wake up early yesterday (7am!  after a late show the night before) and go to Pilates Stuttgart to teach some German folk about their pelvic floors.  But that was totally worth it.
Anyways, here are my epic and not so epic insights from this installment in Stuttgart thus far...

1.  Anyplace is better in the springtime...love is in the air?  maybe.  At least with the ducks.  The ducklings in the pond are super duper niedlich (cute).
2.  German men possess qualities that are innately repulsive to me.  (yes, a generalization, but yes, it's true!!)
3.  I still love love love maltauschen
4.  Singing is food for the soul.  Even singing about bubblegum or sugar or other girl group fodder.
5.  Pink hair really does wonders for my complexion
6.  Elvis is a demi-god over here.
7.  So is David Hasselhoff, interesting.
8.  I really wish we could take dogs everywhere in the states like they do here.  Except that terrior was a bit much eyeing my maltauschen at Herbert's yesterday.
9.  Impromptu flea markets...yes!
10. Riding in an old limo with a Schwabisch Elvis impersonator is exactly as fun as it sounds.
11. Living with jugglers from Berlin is actually quite peaceful and nice, almost pedestrian, except we all forget to buy toilet paper.
12.  Those purple spikey heeled suede boots are still at the Italian shoe store, and they STILL have my name on them...
13.  Arugula rains down cheaply from the sky and into the market and adorns every meal deliciously
14.  Thomas from the band is actually very nice and fun guy, even though he often looks as though he is planning a bank heist and racing the Marlboro man to a premature death of lung disease.
15.  Tomorrow I have a day off, Tuesday too.  Can we say Heidleburg and castles???????

Me, Maude, and my Madonna microphone.  A girl needs to shimmy and sing at the same time!!

Thomas decided to sing with us, sehr niedlich!!
