Eight Euros Ninety in the Rain

Outside it’s Berlin and it’s absolutely pissing down. Not the dramatic, cinematic kind of rain—just grey, steady, relentless, the kind that makes everything smell like wet concrete and bad decisions. In this weather, MediaMarkt was selling Keinohrhasen for €8.90. I bought it on the spot. Obviously.

I’ve been a Nora Tschirner fan for longer than I care to admit—Nora Winatschek, if we’re being formal—and €8.90 is not a price that requires deliberation. Now I’m watching it with soggy fries, McDonald’s American Fries, and sausages from the fridge. Not a planned evening. Exactly the right evening.

The apocalypse can wait. The rain keeps coming. The fries are already soft.
