We've been having a blast over break. Last night we celebrated the first of [hopefully] many "family dinners" with Taco Night. It was a lot of fun cooking and just enjoying a meal. Dame T, my biddy, her girlfriend and I got stuff together and managed a pretty decent feast. There are pictures and a couple of videos. I'll post them soon.
Also, we went to the new Super W-M twice yesterday. There are pictures and videos from those as well. The first trip was to gather supplies for Taco Night, and the second was just fooling around. It was lovely and involved a lobster we dubbed Johann. It's a good name for a lobster.
I'm out for now. It's nearly time for The L Word.

Break
Ah, break. It's been so blissfully quiet and relaxing. And in case you were wondering, the contents of Dustro's fridge are as follows: Rolling Rock, dipping cheese [nacho, naturally], Dr Thunder, and strawberry daquiri. The biddy and I have been knitting/crocheting up a storm. She's working on a lovely creme-coloured scarf and I made a crazy hat. The hat is a bit lacking, because I don't know how to make hats, really. Played it [knitted, rather] by ear. Turned out ok, but odd.
Oh, and our dear AE returned from Europe today. It was very exciting to see her again - she had been lacking hugs for an entire month and thus promptly collected two from Dustro and I when she got out of the shower. Fantastic. And she met my biddy and was, I think, thoroughly amused.
That's all I really have. I have to call my mother soon. Maybe I'll talk about that.

Herr Hellblau
Herr Hellblau [Mr Light Blue] is our Deutsch professor. He mentions Marlene Dietrich whenever possible - he's obsessed. He is sehr feminin, but only in English. The only sign of his blue-tinted reality when he speaks Deutsch is a slight lisp. He is also angry about the loss of the most wonderful letter in the Deutsch language: ß. The double s. When spelled the new way, ich weiss nicht [I don't know] looks absolutely horrid. When spelled the proper ß-lovin' way, ich weiß nicht looks beautiful and calm - not a bit like its ugly counterpart. I know I prefer ß ... don't you? Subvert the dominant paradigm! Don't let them change the spelling! Viva ß!
[Note:: Herr Hellblau is not the prof's real name. It is a play on some Russian slang translated to Deutsch because I can't spell or pronounce Russian. Yet. If you really want to know, ask my biddy. She'll explain the Russian.]
I have also written some code for Dame T's new blog. I haven't given it to him yet, but it's ready. I've coded three blogs in the past few days, and I am proud of the way they turned out. I'm so glad I taught myself HTML and CSS and whatnot. It's so worth it to learn.

Bisexual Monday and other treats
Yesterday, as you have reminded us, was Bisexual Monday. I, for a day, liked the cock, and you, for a day, liked the pussy. Yes, I know you hate that word. Precisely why I used it, dolphin.
Right. Lots has happened of late. I promise. I just haven't written about it because I've been off crafting with my new crafting biddy [for whom I designed some well-recieved blog-revampage]. Through the course of Deutschkurs, my biddy and I have become fast friends, and she has brought a welcome change to my dull life and brought me out of the doldrums. Biddy high five!
Yesterday we were stricken a pair of scarves in Dame T.'s room whilst viewing [and dancing to] RHPS. Lovely time, that. We returned there later to shoot the shit into the wee hours of the morning, and talked of many things. [Not shoes, nor ships, nor sealing wax, not cabbages nor kings.] We talked of the "gay agenda" [about which we decided we must've missed the meeting, as we've never really seen a copy of said agenda], and of our "root" [stemmed by watching But I'm a Cheerleader on the night previous]. More on my root later.
Also, as of yesterday, there is a fair amount of schnee on the ground. The new gays immediately wanted to go traying, whilst the old gays stayed home inside where it was warm. I thought it was snowing again earlier, actually, when I looked out my window, but it must've been snow blowing off the roof of the building and into the lovely Health Circus Courtyard.
And B and D and I have made the last trip ever to W-M, as the new Super W-M is opening tomorrow at 7.30a. I think we may have to raid it after our final Prüfung for the term.

It starts.
So, being tired of how my former blog did not like to load properly, I am beginning again. Short amount of time, I know. I will [hopefully] be posting the old posts from CM in the near future.
Later, 10.49p.
The template is now properly crimson coloured, and I've begun moving entries from the old CM to the new. Comments will also migrate when I have a chance. Of course, they'll all appear on this IP address, but that's fine with me.
We'll chat again soon.

Wo ist meine Hose? [Where are my pants?]
Ich habe keine Hose! [I have no pants!]
Sorry. Surge of immaturity in making up amusing Q/A combinations in Deutsch today. We have another test tomorrow, though. That's the sad thing about cramming a semester's worth of language into a month - frequent tests. We have only one chapter left. It's sort of sad that January is mostly over. All in all it has breezed by [even gusted at times]. It's been a moderate sort of month. Not too many scary ups and downs on my part.
And yummy, do I want me some seared shark for dinner. [No, I'm not joking. That's what on the menu for din-din. I almost died when I read that.]
