I hope he doesn’t mind my reblog.

Missy Higgins - Don’t ever (live @ Darling Harbour)

The first time I heard the song—I really tried to listen to the lyrics, it was almost like a gentle caress across my check. Almost bittersweet.

Christmas gift from the boyfriend.  Now I finally have reception in this blackhole of a room!

A minute in, I was already depressed.

Via Arni

So I signed up for this, by request of Arni, and even though it’s only been like a day of playing, I like it!

But, I already know that this is not going to be good for me.

Not that I expect to be “good” at it, but I’m pretty competitive sometimes and this is going to be a “distraction” from other things I should be doing.  Like studying.  Or something responsible.

I’m sort of dabbling in the German language so I can attempt to follow along, or at least, figure out what’s going on in a conversation.

Last night, I finally got around to asking Joe, my co-worker and German-phile, about word order in a sentence.  He explained it to me and now things are sort of making more sense.

Verbs at the end of a sentence?!

Anyway, he told me to read and look up Mark Twain’s “The Awful German Language” essay—a playful/satirical look at the language, and I can’t help but feel relieved that someone out there can empathize with my confusion.

The essay, however, I also found very educational!

I’ve decided that his eyes make for great black and white photos.
