just a bunch of this-or-that from an ageing, sweet-bitter, consume-to-survive expat
Note on the pics. The Birkenstock shoe (left foot) is still in what I consider to be its break-in period. They're only about ten days old. Note the suede sole footbed insert. The sandal (right foot) is broke-in and is probably four months old. The only issue I'm facing with the sandals is that I've run out …

https://youtu.be/lH6DoKaAHz0 Another subversive purchase by my better half. Most of these purchases are regrettable--except for the purses and shoes, of course. When it comes to electronics, though, she slips one in there every once-a-once that is a doozy. This Roomba, iRobot, fancy-pants vacuum cleaner, for instance. After just over two years of use, …

We live in a world of Trump-Uglies and the disgust his ilk pro-creates. We live in a world of teeth-less, comb-over dog-fights that are clawless due to cosmetics and ill-fitted matrimony. And even better... We live in a world that is not lead by the merit of one's or the collective's actions. No. Indeed. We …
Xmas Eve dinners are a big deal in worst-writer's house. A few people are invited and some of them actually come. Since the kids are all growed-up this is mostly an adult evening. Either that or the kids are with divorcee parents. Nomatter. To begin the occasion, a bottle of champagne is opened and most drink …

Potential sub- or alternative title: Oh how pleased I am with current status of (my) audio consumption and still being able to get it on at my age. Yesterday's evening conduit? It began with a glass of Weißburgunder and a few tunes from greatest-band-ever randomly discharged from my home network wifi to my 2015 MacBook …

Authoritarian Shoes? Yes. Authoritarians? No...? First. I'm not selling anything. Seriously. Ok. Maybe I'm selling all–things-worst. Yeah. That's good enough. Second. I've always considered two parts of my body to be more important than other parts: teeth and feet. But don't get me wrong. I don't care if teeth are white and shinny. They just …
Subtitle 1: E-Book reading. Looks like there's no turning back (for worst-moi). Subtitle 2: A pseudo-review of e-readers. I first started e-reading on a Kindle 2. I loved the design of the Kindle 2, especially the analog page change buttons and the odd but fully functional keyboard that enabled the best note-taking (at the time) …

Freeing myself of the juggernaut of scavenger capitalism that's finally, utterly, taken over tech industry? Indeed. Dear worst-reader. I've been worst-saying it for years. Or at least been worst-saying it since that short stint in the advertisement industry--so many years ago--where I had to explain the #interwebnets to a whole host of numb-nut corporate college …
Something to ease the minds of the dumb-downed as another useless evening presents itself in the wake of my beloved and missed #americant dealing with a grand new-fangled tax scam from president smart for the rich and stupid for the rest of you suckers. Also wondering who the college grads are that set up all …

What's the one thing that connects all of the recent sex abuse bullshit, dear worst-reader? Ok. Yea. It might be something about stupid white men. (But then there's the few and far between non-white men that seem to do the same thing.) Then there's the issue of power. Yea. That's the ticket, ain't it? Or …
Update: May the heavens be blessed (if you believe in that sort of thing). To my worst-surprise, my consume-to-survive order that is supposed to help with cleaning my ageing teeth arrived today. Wow. If you can believe the original price posted (Euro299,99) then this was a pretty good deal. Yeah, baby. Haven't been posting much …
