the collected musings of ms. rachel b. doyle
I ditched Manhattan and weak dollar writing gigs for Berlin, euros and everything else. Apart from some odd occasions where I've pined for bargain books or Law & Order reruns, I can't say I miss America at all. Especially since we can drink on the street here.

Jessica Stam’s apartment, featured in Elle Decor this month. “Hi, Jessica, it’s Miss Modular, I’ve come for your Morrocan doorway and pretty pink flowers. Thanks.”
More pics of her fabulous crib at Jezbel.
I totally bookmarked this two weeks ago, but couldn’t bear to post it. I pretty much love everything in Ms. Stam’s apartment and did not want to give myself a complex. I want Old Hollywood decor!
Asshole of the week
‘Horace Engdahl, the permanent secretary of the Nobel Prize selection committee, has revealed why American authors have no chance in Stockholm. In his opinion, American writers are “too insular,” “too sensitive to trends in their own mass culture” and too ignorant to write good books. And Engdahl claims to know the reason behind their narrow-mindedness, too: “They don’t translate enough and don’t really participate in the big dialogue of literature.”’

Everytime i listen Palin say anything, I just see Tina Fey’s latest, amazing SNL skit. Fox News even has a clip of Palin saying she dressed up as Fey for Halloween one year. Liberal elite, you betcha!

» Insecure Minds Wired for Pattern-Finding
“A perfectly healthy human mind can trick itself into seeing things that are not there, and new research has exposed exactly the sort of conditions under which that happens. It turns out that the less control a person feels, the more likely they are to see patterns or make connections that don’t exist...’Give a person a sense of security and control, and defensiveness and obsessiveness melt away,” said Whitson.”

Alternate Title: When Black Icons Discover Cocaine
Late 70s video editing = just so hilarious. Isaiah and I devoted an evening to watching EWF videos last week and this was by far the most stonertastic — I wholeheartedly recommend going to Youtube and watching it fullscreen. AWESOME. l ♥ ♫

tips 'n' tricks for bacon loverz
Ok, so the other night I made Jamie Oliver’s delicious Farfalle with Savoy Cabbage, Pancetta and Mozzarella. As the recipe calls for pine nuts, I had an open bag next to me the entire time I was cooking. But the amazing thing is: I just busted out the bag of pine nuts and THEY NOW SMELL AND TASTE SORT OF LIKE BACON!!!!
If that’s not a magical rainy day discovery, I don’t know what is.
Received a weird invitation for tonight’s opening party of the Telekom store in Berlin Mitte. It included black rubber gloves.

![View of a sculpture by Berlin-based Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota in Berlin on Thursday. The artist stuck hundreds of shoes to the facade of a building in the city’s Mitte district as part of the “Torstrasse, 166 — House of Imagination” exhibition. The show will feature 12 different artists exhibiting their work in the apartment building from Sept. 27 to Oct. 12, 2008. (via tloenuqbar: via Der Spiegel)
The facade of # 166 also looked super-fucking-cool from the top floor window looking down. I went to the opening on Thursday, accompanied by Unlike’s fabulous Youyoung, and got a workout traipsing up and down the stairs and in and out of the artist-themed derelict apartments.
Our conclusion: the coolest and most unique installation was the one by Norwegian-born Sissel Tolaas, who “investigated the stories captured within the apartment and took [a few of the 7,800] the scents created in her Berlin laboratory to animate the memories.” All the rooms had scent-spraying buttons, as well as odorous walls. These alternately smelled lovely, horrid, playful, interesting, and pizza-esque. Perfume’s Jean-Baptiste Grenouille would’ve been proud.](http://media.tumblr.com/bp5WLNUfhegl0wth6yZMRnqho1_500.jpg)
