So I missed my day. At least I have two extra days open since we still haven't found anyone to replace our missing blogger. Looking on the bright side!
Stephanie, it says Thursday for me as well, which makes no sense considering that Alda lives in the future and I'm several hours behind you. I don't think that it's possible to stick out in my town's All Souls procession. There were all kinds of people in different kinds of dress. If you happen to be in Arizona for the weekend of November 1st then you should come by. LOL.
Alda, a twisted love story you say? Sounds interesting. Hope you have fun with your friend in Berlin this weekend!
I've decided not to continue seeing the guy I was dating. There wasn't an emotional connection for me, but he was super into me so it was hard to tell him that I didn't want to pursue a relationship with him. He was understanding. Hope I didn't make the wrong choice. It's a good thing I'm really too busy to really dwell on it.
I'm busybusybusy! Trying to pass my classes, preparing for the holidays (Thanksgiving! Woo!), and planning to live in a foreign country is all wearing on me.
I've been watching TV seasons again. I finished Firefly a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. I know that it was canceled, but I think that it sort of works as a mini-series even though it was meant for "six seasons and a movie." The way they talked was particularly comforting to me, with their old west dialects. It's the way people used to talk in the region I'm from before urbanization and national value in education. You can hear it in the way people talk when they're around friends and don't know how to phrase a thought using the vocabulary taught in school.
Linguistics is interesting and in honor of the Linguistics MBA I just broke up with, I'll tell you something my geekness finds interesting. As far as linguistic diversity, Europe is one of, if not the, least linguistically diverse continents, dispute having great language diversity. That is because European languages are all almost in the Indo-European category, which follows similar structural rules. Also, speaking in terms of English dialects the US has several based on region and culture, but the UK has far more despite having less land area.
OK, I'm done boring you.
The other series I'm watching is Friday Night Lights. I'm tired of people telling me how good it is and decided to watch it for myself. So far I haven't been disappointed. The people seem so real, it's incredible. The acting is terrific, the photography is beautiful and, most importantly, the writing very good. I don't think that I would like it as much if I had never experienced a high school football game. Understanding the weight of a high school football game, how little there should be and how much there is, is a careful nuance that I enjoy. Haven't finished the first season yet. I was going to finish it this week, but I gave up television this week to get things done more efficiently.
I got invited to a African diaspora potluck on Thursday, and that's all the socialization I have planned for the weekend. I have a big paper due on Friday, and that's my weekend. :P
