After much work, I've managed to anmeld myself. This made me very tense. The lady knew that I was supposed to be legid! and that the woman we're subletting from is not the owner of her place! (For future reference: I recommend the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Buergeramt 2 on Schlesische Strasse rather than the larger and more centrally located Buergeramt 1 on Yorckstrasse.)
So now we have cell phones. (Ffr: we should have angemeldet Rob also, as, for example, Vodafone only allows one phone per angemeldet customer.)
Magoo doesn't sit much anymore. He hangs out on his belly and his back instead. He does some cripple crawling when provoked. And he can do plank pose and downward dog. Rob took a little video, but I can't figure out where it is on the hard drive, so maybe Rob will upload it later.
He likes to rip tissues, leaves, and other rippable things. He takes ripping tasks very seriously.
Today was an exciting day. At about 4pm we met up with Armen, Hro, Valery, and Oleg, and went to play volleyball at some bar in a park behind the Technisches Museum. Armen, Hro, Oleg, and Rob played (photo), and I talked to Valery and watched Magoo.
Valery is German but speaks Russian amazingly well. Never have I seen such a thing. I am, of course, intensely jealous.
Magoo discovered sand, and just sat and played with it, passing it between his fingers. Photo. He didn't try to eat it, but did cover his eyeballs with it. I had put sunblock on him, so it stuck.
Then we went out to the lake near Krumme Lanke and went swimming. The water was cold and Magoo wriggled and panted and eventually turned purple. Then we took him out and he turned pink again, somewhat like his color-changing duck.
Oh, there was some football involved, before and after the swimming.
