Funny

Odd how time passes. If you pay attention, it slows. If you are happily engaged in some activity, it flies. If you are unhappily engaged, it drags with the weight of a crocheted comforter on your shoulders. I don't know why I like the weight similes, that is just how I feel about such things.
Yesterday and today I've paid attention to time. The idea is that at 2pm I shall either be done with practicing or start it. You see, I often procrastinate until the evening to do things, and this is generally an unproductive practice. My best time of day is the morning and early afternoon, so doing stuff then is common sense.

Funny is what I wish to be, sometimes. It took me quite a while to realize that I have to work hard to tell a joke convincingly. I've never been an idea person, or an extremely quick talker, so that humor is beyond me. However, I've been told that I am entertaining, and this is a quality I've worked to create. My wry remarks, and unusual connections in conversation are my fortes. I also get laughed at by Mother for some of my serious statements. It makes me long for someone with slightly more self-control, or at least the ability to tell me why it was funny. No-one else does that, so perhaps Mom just has a unique sense of humor.

I went to see the Incredible Hulk Saturday. It was more entertaining than I had hoped it to be. I read the book version in Vienna, so I already understood the basic plot and, very gratifyingly, what the characters were thinking. If I hadn't, I feel that I would have disliked the movie due to insufficient explanation of character motivation. Just know this, it's a movie about a man that becomes a angry green giant when he is provoked, realism is not expected or required.

In any case, having discussed my past three weeks this morning, may I say thank God for saving a blog when I have to go eat now.
Bye bye

Life today

I feel like I've gotten over a hump of learning. At first I knew nothing, not how to work the toilets, how to open my door to my room (it slides but still has a knob), or what the friggin heck the menu says. Actually, grocery shopping is easier, because you can see it. Of course, telling the difference between sweet and sour pickles can be hard when you don't know the work suß (sweet). I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be able to hear the words people say instead of a meaningless blur or syllables, and decide that I want beef today and be able to order that. Life is strange, and fun.
I have decided I will go to maybe two tourist sites and one concert per week. This way I can still get school done but also enjoy myself and not feel like I am missing the whole experience. I haven't decided about restaurants, maybe I'll try one or two new ones every week, but I am not usually that adventurous. I need a buddy to go with. There is no-one here that I've truly clicked with, besides, maybe, Janette, and she is the shy type, I think. Abuse of commas is a wonderful thing, no?
I need to go to class.
See ya'll later.
