Denaturing And Deflowering

There's much to do, but I have realised that I probably won't be able to do everything by the time I fly to Thailand on Thursday. I'm looking forward to the trip but seeing everyone gearing up for MFF this weekend has made me feel pangs of missing out. Still, I haven't been to SE Asia in six years and it should be a fun trip. I'm hoping to get the very final aspects of it sorted tomorrow.

My mental health is steadily improving, probably based on the knowledge that certain things will just have to wait. Tonight was a good night too as Wolfie and I went out to celebrate my belated birthday. Wolfie couldn't come back to the UK the other week due to his foot, so he resolved to treat me to a night out upon my return to Germany. This was tonight, with us going to the Upper Burger Grill in Zoologischer Garten. This seemed like a good choice as we hadn't been since 2023 and I didn't want to strain Wolfie's foot too much. This is getting better, but I fear another setback, not least because he still needs to go to the doctor to get his test results. He was limping upon his return but I hope the injury isn't too sustained. This was the firs time he had been out since the NFL game on 9 November (not counting his doctor's visit the day after) and I think it did him some good.

The burger itself was good, as were the truffle fries, which were sensational. After this, we ventured to the BRLO brew house in Charlottenburg, taking a bus down Kurfurstendamm to get there. It gets posher and posher the further along you go, with high-end stores and the like. We only stayed for one in the bar on account of Wolfie being tired - he has been sleeping erratic hours and has been up since 6am today - but it was a good if rather short evening out.

Everything is definitely heading towards Christmas now, with the Christmas markets in full swing and Christmas music being played in the restaurant. Meanwhile, we also saw an interesting cheese shop which had loads of cheese samples. Many of these were exquisite so we're going to head down there prior to the Festival season to pick some things up.

Aside from that, all of the talk has been about Zootopia 2, which really has me feeling left out. I have tried to mute it on socials but the poster is everywhere, which isn't helping me as I get to see that damn snake over and over again. It sucks that so many furry-themed movies these days have snakes in it, and it also sucks that I cannot watch it. I might try on DVD at home, but I watched the first film four times in the theatre, so I do feel a little aggrieved.
