And if she asks you why,
You can tell her that I told you,
that I'm tired of Castles in the Air ..

I've started seeing more of these handy 'suggestions' for want of a better word, in the top left corner of facebook, encouraging one to 'reconnect' with those I have no desire to be reconnected with. What's its goal? To help you seek out people you couldn't be arsed to keep up with in the first place?
Its November (No, its not christmas yet dearies) which heralds the arrival of the German Kristkindelmarkt in Millenium Square, which a few of my housemates are off to. If the past 2 days and nights hadn't already been filled with more German than you could shake a stick at, I'd be well up for the idea of walking around in the cold of a city centre to look at frankfurters and giant pretzels in their quaint flat-packable stalls. I fear that yet more exposure to German culture in its most distilled form could induce some unconditional Tim-Kretschmer-esque spree, and that might put a strain on my close relations.
I went to a screening of a German film this evening for one of my modules; rather, I went along and slept through 70% of it. Theres a faint biro outline of a cock on my forehead, apparently Max sleeping was a chance that just couldn't be passed up. The film was 'Der Blaue Engel', the film that apparently boosted Marlene Dietrich to global stardom overnight. I tried really hard to appreciate it in the first 20 minutes I was awake for, but couldn't. If you ever have trouble sleeping, tune in to german radio. Its the most sleep-inducing language I've come across.
The brunt of the German work seems to finally be coming to some sort of conclusive end, after a 53 hour-straight work bender. There are still things outstanding, but I have no choice but to sweep them under the rug. Sadly, the oustanding things include grammar, a subject which I've been severely lacking in since post GCSE-euphoria. If only I could inspire myself to learn it.
I feel a bit bad, having devoted so much time to mouthing off about it and then dropping it all of a sudden, but such is life. All things are transient, and so we too must be, lest we become stagnant.
Hence my current hairstyle, which should come to fruition soon.
