Well, I just changed the template for this blog to blue. But by the time you read this, it might be changed again. I was reading my friend Wendy's blog, and mine just looked mighty sterile in comparison. Too much like a resume or something... Aaaand (ta da!) a picture of me is finally up. Let's face it, I will never be accused of being a geek. It took my poor history-major brain quite a while to figure out how on earth to post photos.
I suppose I should write about some Germany stuff. Haven't made it to the consulate yet (see previous entry...). Oh, yes, of course - I'm going to see the new Wallace and Gromit movie on Sunday, in English. Now, what will happen is that the audience will be filled with a smattering of English-speaking expats, but mainly will be filled with Germans eager to show that they can appreciate British humor in it's original language. The problem is that, even when they understand the humor, they don't laugh very loud. Unfortunately, we Americans do. It's ingrained, can't do nothin' about it. So, for the entire movie, the 4 or 5 Amis in the audience will be laughing uproriously and obnoxiously, and the Germans will spend the entire movie huffing indignantly at the loud Americans. I've even had the people in front of me move (after glaring at me significantly), because I was laughing too loud. I promise it's not just me! I can HEAR the other Amis. I swear I'm not the only obnoxious one, really!
At least the weather here is pleasant. Brisk but sunny autumn days, the leaves just beginning to fall.
