Jan. 8th, 2013 03:36 pmSo, I am learning how to pronounce Spanish correctly, because I've been doing it wrong since I was 14 and first learned a word of it. Oops? The number of fluent speakers that have probably gringed inside after I said anything is a very large number. Like, everyone I've ever talked to who is fluent in Spanish. Of course, I routinely butcher the French language, so at least I don't play favourites with the Indo-Europeans!
How does a shopping trip for cheese end in £8 of stuff that included chocolate and cookies? I need to stop going to the grocery store. It's dangerous.
In other news, I did five minutes of work today. Go me! I also have plans to go to the gym. Since I week ago I was wishing for death curled in bed with a migraine, I feel this is pretty good. I also really need to take my Vitamin D regularly to avoid the winter hibernation feeling. I am also sniffly today though, which is a BAD SIGN, as the housemate has been sick this last week. I have had two colds in the last two months and do not want to make it three for three. This is what I get not getting sick for 5 years; it's the universe paying me back, right?
Watching my parents TV in Canada while in England has still not lost it's 'WEE! Isn't technology awesome?!' feeling yet. Even if the internet here keeps crashing from streaming. I watched Castle this morning and it was legal. Also, Dad and I have agreed not to sit at our respective computers on two different continents and argue over who gets the Slingbox at any particular hour. I get it in the morning, he gets it after that. And no one dies.
There is a show called Ripper Street on BBC. It stars Matthew Macfadyen. It takes place in 1889, a year after the last confirmed Ripper kill and is about the Police department in Whitechapel. Needless to say, I was hooked in the first, oh, preview? I am not contemplating how to cross this show with Sanctuary, because I may destroy my brain that way. But it is still awesome.
I have so much work to do, but I have no idea where to start and I have convinced myself that doing anything before Thursday's meeting is a waste of time, as I don't know exactly what I need to do. But putting it like that makes me feel small and useless and my brain immediately responds with 'who's doing this PhD anyways, you or Ross?' and I just want to crawl into a corner. So I'm not putting it like that. I'm putting it like...I need a holiday to recover from my 'holiday' and want to make certain I am not getting sick before I visit a friend on Thursday.
Tomorrow I am going to have to get out of bed before 11am. If only by necessity. The fact that I can sleep that late is probably a bad sign about the health of my body right now.
I said random in the tag, didn't I?
