fun day so far
haha. somehow woke up on the right side of the bed this morning. i don't get it. still feeling the slightest bit manic...
but i finished off that Islam booklet. got to enjoy an handful of good German music on the non-MTV station today. and i watched an hilariously craptacular film from the 70s called "Unsere Pauker gehen in die Luft". it had ridiculous "rag the dean" humour, a terrible love story, mistaken identity humour, and woman-posing-as-man to get her pilots' license. ridiculous, but i laughed out loud a dozen times. i loved it!
and i found out that "taddling" comes straight out of German. "tadeln: to blame, disapprove, reprimand." so "taddle tail" is actually "taddle tale"... crazy how all the simple common English things are direct from German.
"Blow" is showing tonight on TV, which i might watch. love that movie. suggested it to a guy on campus, who mentioned preferring to check out a film about the DDR (um, GDR), but he admitted it could suck, too. but i've got a TV in my room if i just want to watch "Blow". but i've got to get going, because i promised him i'd help him buy an illegal film. my English is considerably better than his ;)
i didn't ask yet, but i figure it's probably "Triumph of the Will" or another Riefenstahl film, which i simply have to make accomplice to on principle of cinematic fanaticism. it's supposed to be a masterpiece, despite its subject matter (which would make it illegal in Germany).
back later.
