so now this….link here
Several years ago, Nature, the science journal, published a report suggesting that drink was, from a biological point of view, engrained among the British.
no comment….

apparently you can’t put a price on good times….so many comments I’m not going to make cuz I’d probably just edit in 6 hours…(but cheers anyways…for alles 😉 )
like that time I posted a quote from Kat about the Indians buying Jaguar….I took that down after 6 hours 😉

this is a fine time to be a drinker in Francfort (as one trivia question I got right last night…what is the capital of Kentucky…there is but one reason I got that question right…)…what was I talking about…oh yeah….ne’ermind…I just wanted to write Francfort on this page twice…

I’m going for coffee and then will come back to write more…

and cheers from kat…who no doubt writes this nonchalantly and emotionlessly…(is that a word?)…it still makes me feel good… 🙂
I found my way back to Squires as well. Yes, the Squires that I used to hang out with everyday, and who I thought I wouldn’t see that often anymore. Surprise, surprise, he stuck around It’s good to have him around even if we all do lack substance. I know I’ve said this before, maybe too often during the past weeks, but I love you. And I don’t give a shit what anyone else thinks.

Ok me having a conversation tonight whilst waiting for the number 11 strassenbahn
random dude:….blah blah blah hauptbahnhof
me: ja (in case you didn’t get that he was asking if the train went to hauptbahnhof)
random dude: (walks away) as number 14 train approaches
me: nay nay nay…nicht fiertzen….elf….(not 14…11)
random dude: danke
wow stimulating conversation…mien Deutsch ist zer gute! (spelling is not)

OK so pub quiz tonight…and we got first place…….first time ever…we each won 10€ with our random knowledge…this was only because Elizabeth the ringer was not present….I love pub quiz…

Cora (Super hyper dirty mega) never had a pet. I’m still formulating a theory on women who never had a pet…there might be a thesis or manifesto involved except as you probably know I don’t like to make any sort of effort, and those things probably involve effort….so everything I’ve ever said or implied about a thesis or manifesto is likely just an empty threat… 😉

random out of context conversation
me: that guy on the left must be swiss…he has a beard…
kat: no dude…he doesn’t have a beard…he grew it…

random out of context conversation explanation: (a new feature of this page): never confuse the swiss and the swedes…apparently the swedes have beards (und mich) however the swiss only have bank accounts or something…

when someone makes a promise to me it may not mean anything to you, but it does mean something to me….
your word is your bond….or something….

It’s been snowing and it must be about 1° C because the ground is just wet, no snow is accumulating, but it’s bloody cold…wish it would warm up soon…last time this year I think it was about 20°…I just don’t know what to make of spring in DE.

damn you Cyndi Lauper…

I occasionally make notes in my phone for things I want to remember to post up here…I was cleaning out my phone today and came across these important notes I left for myself…

“Bulgarians are hairy…yes they do have lots of body hair.”
and
“We first met her…at the…blank show…we couldn’t see the profusion of facial hair on her face…she was mythological then.”

and another I won’t reprint here about germans and sex (from 2,0) but honestly I don’t know the context of the first two…or who actually said them.
Unfortunately I can’t usually make a note fast enough to keep up with the conversations…so I put up out context lines that are probably only funny to me… 🙂

I put on Corpse Bride yesterday (I have never seen it, but bought it cuz it was Burton and only 5€). I actually didn’t even make it through the whole movie…maybe I was in a mood, but I just wasn’t enjoying it…

so in this lovely country we get Friday and Monday off for easter…unfortunately not many places are open on Friday…even more unfortunately one of the places open was O’Reilleys…(referred to as “that shithole”). (we made a pact…we made a pact!!!)

So new york red orders nachos and I had one…
me: oh mein gott!!!! deiese nachos are (ist?) zer schön!!!! (ok not auf deutsch, but I could almost translate my own sentence…was ist “are”?)
kat: jesus squires…I’ve never heard you say anything positive about anything…
me: really…am I that negative?
kat: yes you are…and that’s why you’re my friend…

ok once again and interesting statement comes out of something unremarkable…(a conversation about food).
I have to wonder if that’s true…I’ve been thinking about this for 24 hours or so…maybe it is in general…not sure if that actually bothers me or not…way better to find the negative in every situation than the positive…I would not want to be one of those people.

the bike broke this morning…now I have to take the train for the rest of the month, and take the bike to a shop 🙁 everything was fine til I decided to shift…I won’t do that again…maybe I should just buy a short chain and have a one speed…

can a Deutsch speaker help me find a bike shop around here and ask for repairs???

…and there’s probably a lesson in here for me somewhere…like that time I paid 269€ to learn that I won’t buy anything else from Apple for a while 😉 …now that was a valuable lesson…

why does Deutsch need both the F and V…aren’t they the same sound? Is V exclusively used at the start of words?
