Well, here goes, my first post on this blog. The thing is, I've nothing to say at this particular moment. I am enjoying dinner and watching the sun set against the backdrop of a house. I am doing my favorite thing, listening to music, and eating some of my favorite foods- a yummy turkey/jarlsberg cheese with grapes salad and a lettuce variety salad, all of this, of course, while I wait for my pizza to cook. I guess things couldn't be better at the moment. I had a great workout today. I am trying to run more in lieu of being attached to elliptical machines. I did pretty well, but I do have a way to go.
The question of the day seems to have been, "what are you doing tonight?" To which I replied, "watching t.v." After the 5th time, I decided to change not only my answer, but also my plans which are yet to be cemented, but include more interaction than sitting and watching a flashing screen which only evokes a lonely sense of laughter. So, we'll see what happens. Hell, maybe I'll study.
Have you listened to the new Beck album? It is solid and I am well pleased. This was one of two albums that I have been looking forward to, the other being X & Y, the yet to be released Coldplay album.
The countdown is on, I leave for Germany in about 56 days. I will be gone for about 9 weeks, 8 of which will involve learning the German language. In preparation for this, I have been instructed to study German for an hour each day. This isn't my favorite thing to do, but I have found it fruitful. I can now say das Fleugzeug fliegt, meaning, the airplane flies.
This will be my first trip to Europe, and though I have but one plan thus far, I am hoping to go everywhere and do everything. I am going to the Coldplay concert in Munich in July and have plans to visit Lutherland, Southeastern Europe: Vienna, Budapest, Prague and the like. I also hope to get to Paris and Geneva. I fly into London and from there will make it up to Norway to visit friends and then on to Germany.
My pizza is ready and my salad looks less appetizing, as does continuing to write what now is my first official entry for my blog. Not to fret, there will be more to come.
Today I am listening to:
Eisley- Telescope Eyes
Bright Eyes- Take it Easy (Love Nothing)
Beck- Qué Onda Guero
