kitewithfishBecause way too much of what I'm listening to right now entails the wanton destruction of human life, and you need the right soundtrack for that.
In other news, I am done with classes for the week, but I'm actually going to start reading for the classes I'm supposed to be taking. I'm feeling like reading "Der Zauberberg" is totally doable, but will take a long time. The professor for that class clearly has a fan following of several forty year old women, who actually do the reading and will pipe up to answer questions and talk with much greater regularity than the other students. The professor will trial off her thought, and they will just step in and fill in the right answer. It's cute.
In other news, last night in Vienna it snowed. It's not really sticking to the ground, but it's coating the roofs, the cars, and the window sills. It's still falling slightly, in the lackadaisical way that snow does when it has nothing to do but rush to its inevitable demise.
Last night, end of week for me, Colleen and I went out and ate chips at my favorite Irish Pub, after stopping at the Red Cross Punsch stand at the corner of my street. It was a nice moment, drinking warm booze in the snow. I am thinking of making some myself, since it's nice and tasty. Or at least bringing some of these herbs home so that we can try it there, with booze I can buy myself. Woot!
Colleen has found a job just speaking English to a very small Austrian child and also working at her no pay internship, where mostly she's been doing translations and work in English. I have no idea yet what I'm doing for my whole internship thing, but I will find out soon enough.
Things to do today:
1. Get cereal and bread for the weekend, also perhaps some soup veggies. CHOCOLATE.
2. Buy more Glühwein, because it's wonderful and tasty.
3. check out Libro for some more low-cost movies. (I think it's going to be interesting bringing my movie collection back home; "You have a copy of Spartacus in German?" "Yes, well it's got the original track, you just have to set it to play in English.")
4. Consider the possibilities of hot chocolate as your new favorite thing.
5. Reading Der Zauberberg- just take it easy, find yourself someplace and warm and curl up there for a while.
6. Consider the possibility of new socks as something to invest in- seriously, my wardrobe is more limited by the number of socks I have than any other garment. I don't know if I just didn't bring enough with me, or if my Austrian washer is eating them.
