for those of you who are in college: what do you study and how much time do you put into your homework?

i study at the maastricht school of translation and interpreting. now, do me a favor and observe the german adjective. here is a case where simplicity would have been an advantage; therefore, for no other reason, the inventor of this language complicated it all he could. when we wish to speak of our good friend or friends, we stick to the one form and have no trouble or hard feeling about it, but with the german tongue it is different. when a german gets his hands on an adjective, he declines it, and keeps on declining it until the common sense is all declined out of it. it is as bad as latin. he says, for instance:

SINGULAR
nominative - mein guter Freund
genitive - meines guten Freundes
dative - meinem guten Freund
accusative - meinen guten Freund

PLURAL
n. - meine guten Freunde
g. - meiner guten Freunde
d. - meinen guten Freunden
a. - meine guten Freunde

there is a variety of new distortions of the adjective to be learned when the object is feminine, and still another when the object is neuter. now there are more adjectives in this language than there are black cats in switzerland, and they must all be as elaborately declined as the examples above suggested. difficult? troublesome? these words cannot describe it.

one might better go without friends in germany than take all this trouble about them.

I'M NOT DEAD although my body keeps telling me otherwise. i'm going on a school organized excursion to aachen (germany) tomorrow. that should be hilarious. because emphasizing the sarcasm in that sentence in words is impossible, i'm giving you a picture of gordon ramsey. as he himself would say: fuck me.

I HAD NO IDEA I HAD THIS MUCH STUFF

my rat had a stroke, and unfortunately she has become disabled.

i'm moving in four days, and i'll have to leave her at my parents. that sucks more than a vacuum cleaner being sucked up by an even more powerful vacuum cleaner at a blowjob convention held in a black hole. like a hummingbird after nectar, it sucks. like a water pump in a septic tank, it sucks.

it sucks it sucks it sucks.

16 days until i move to this beautiful city. this simultaneously excites me and TERRIFIES ME to no end.

awesome hair
it only happens when you're not meeting anyone significant

i love sleeping with my window open.

i'm never going outside again unless i need a place to throw up. 

this is a VERY realistic drawing of a woman who was standing next to me at the train station. now, you may not notice it at FIRST, but she's one of those women who pluck shave their eyebrows and draw new ones on. 

EXCEPT SHE HAD FOUR EYEBROWS CAUSE HER NATURAL ONES CONSISTED OF BLACK STUBBLE. THEY KEPT ATTRACTING MY ATTENTION AND IT MADE THE EMPTY CHAIR BESIDE ME BLEED. these things should not be capable of existing together.

STAYING POSITIVE

well, at least now i know that eating a bag of chips with a side dish of mayonaise in two minutes isn't the answer.

i caught a cold. fuck!


well, either that, or - you know - THROAT CANCER.

oh god, don't you just love it when you find out you've magically turned off your alarm in your sleep?
