Okay! Let's do that German I didn't do last week oops.

Wählen Sie eine der folgenden Rollen und führen Sie ein sinnvolles (sinn = sense, so, sensible?) Gespräch. Vergessen Sie nicht, sich zu grüß. Hier sind einige Sprechhilfen (lit: speech helpers):

Ich würde gern Frau/Herrn Dr. Schulze sprechen.
Ich habe einen Termin für _____ Uhr.
Ich bin ganz sicher, dass ich den Termin heute habe.

Es tut mir Leid. Sie/Er ist im Mmoent beschäftigt.
Es tut mir Leid. Sie/Er telefoniert gerade. Haben Sie einen Termin mit ihr/ihm?
Um ... Uhr hat sie/er einen Termin. Sind Sie sicher, dass der Termin für heute/... Uhr war?
Gehen Sie bitte gleich hinein. Sie/Er erwartet Sie.

A: Ich würde gern Herrn Dr. Kingdom sprechen.
B: Es tut mir Leid. Er ist im Moment beschäftigt mit eine Leiche. Haben Sie einen Termin?
A: Ja, ich bin seine neue Assistentin.
B: Ah, dann gehen Sie bitte gleich hinein.

And if you speak enough German to read that, all of that was fucking hilarious. Or at least if you're familiar with that really old reborn gods game I used to play. Okay, maybe that was just hilarious to me and, like, two other people.

I have been reassured by a couple of different people that Jade grows on the same timescale as glaciers, relative to size. Or maybe compressing poo into diamonds. It grows like a very slow thing, 2" per year, so, okay then! I will tie the stems together so that they don't fall all over the place every time they're jostled, stick them in a pot with more dirt and maybe a few pebbles to hold them gently in place, and water them every ten days and let them be decorative small things and not play with them too much. And I will get SOME OTHER PLANT to stare at and pretend I'm growing it.

I seriously need to cut my bangs. I need to practice cutting my bangs in such a way that it does not look like I took a weed whacker to my forelocks, any suggestions? (One thing I think I have learned is that I need to reduce the bundles of hair I'm chopping at a go by at least half. Small and steady.) Maybe I'll try doing that tonight, assuming I remember. Which is looking more and more likely the more I have to push my hair out of my face.

Caught up on Copper last night! Now that just leaves Warehouse 13, Fringe (I missed, like, half of last season), and Sons of Anarchy. I think I'm caught up on Castle, I know I'm caught up on Grimm and Haven, and Leverage is off for a bit. But Copper was entertaining, even as I want to go OH BOYS and smack people's heads together. And there was a thing involving a fruitcake version of Russian Roulette and my god, people, if you're not watching this yet and historical pieces a la Deadwood or Carnivale are your thing, WHY AREN'T YOU. At least give it a shot. Oh my lord, Russian Roulette with fruitcake. That was awesome. And I got some knitting done, which might be the thing for the forseeable future. Catch up on a couple episodes of a show, knitting up my hope chest. Because I really need to get some of these things done, the house should be move-in ready in 6 weeks. (SIX. WEEKS. FUCK WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING AUGH.)

And this afternoon, getting my shopping list for Home Depot ready and then going over and weeding things. Hopefully without the bees this time.
