Apparently they speak more than just English in space. I was watching Spock talk to Dr Bones
… in German.
Indeed.
I woke up around 12. No alarm = glorious rest. Just me and sleep and a strange dream of being in my neighbor’s car and trying to find the footless woman we had bumped into (into her car – we weren’t the reason for her footless state… but that doesn’t matter and I digress). I didn’t mind waking up and making myself a cup of instant coffee. Another successful load of laundry… well almost. I am sticking with the option for Dunklewash, but today I found out I have been washing my laundry with fabric softener… not detergent (I thought my clothes felt irresistibly cozy and the liquid unusually unsoaplike). But during this successfully softened yet unsuccessful soaped laundry time I finally removed the pile of dust from the corner of my room. I know I know… I should have given it more time for some more impressing growth, but my mommy didn’t approve of this venture. I currently have my softened clothes hanging from every open shelf in my room (still too scared to conquer the drier).
Lunch with a friend, rode with said friend and Maya to Sonthofen to buy some real laundry detergent and bought some snackage for my shelves. We dedicated the day to find international calling cards, but apparently they don’t exist here… The Germans here don’t want to talk to America. Oh well it was worth the effort… 4weeks and 1 day down. 7 weeks 6 days to go. But the coffee macchiato with amaretto syrup and the pizza at Café Orange helped. Today’s pizza: cheese corn, artichokes, peppers, onions, and pepperchinis… I requested no egg or mushrooms. They invent interesting pizza combinations but next time I am going to try the intriguingly names “Flipper” with thunafisch :). Full and happy we made our way back up The Hill. We made good time… We have been doing much better on The Hill. The Hill still involves wheezing, but The Hill isn’t as intimidating as before. But I will always call it The Hill. Note capitalization in effort to reflect the intensity of The Hill…. Yes… The Hill it is.
Upon our return, more German TV channel surfing. The infomercial of the day: An incredible oven that you can put frozen meat into… No seasoning required! In no time you have a deliciously brown and succulent feast of steak, chicken or even a pork roast… Maybe the new Thanksgiving Day saver! Oh and somehow the rice and healthy selection of vegetables appear readily in front of this machine when you come home from a long day of work! I moved onto other programming: Soccer! This needs no translation. In fact with mute and ITunes, it made for a great game… If only I had a good sausage and beer to go with it. Next time for sure! Goodness, I am sounding a bit manly, maybe I should buy some nail polish on my next trip into the city?… Nah… I still can never have enough chocolate and enjoy smelling like a grapefruit or a summer breeze… especially right now with my newly softened laundry.
