Okay. And for those of you following along at home, instructions for adding keyboard layouts to your Windows computer!

Control Panel --> Date/Time/Language/Regional --> Add other languages
Languages tab (click 'Details') --> Settings (click 'Add') --> Scroll down till you find the language you want! Just add it from the originating country, most likely, though if you're more knowledgeable about the kinds of keyboards you might want to monkey around with it, I just went with the default settings. You can find keyboard layouts graphically depicted online if you're having trouble remembering which one goes where.

For Ali, again, your German phrases:

Wie heißt du? - What's your name? (informal) (sounds like: Vee hai-ssh-t do?)
Wie heißen Sie? - What's your name? (formal) (sounds like: Vee hai-ssh-ehn Zee?)
Both of these are literally, how are you called?

Ich heiße [name] - My name/I am called [name] (sounds like: ish hai-ssh-eh...)
Wie schreibt man das? - How does one write that?/How is that spelled? (sounds like: vee sch-ree-bt mahn das? On the 'schree part you kind of curl your tongue up against your upper teeth and the roof of your mouth there... it's hard to explain?)
Wie ist deine/Ihre Adresse? - What is your address? (formal and informal) (sounds like: vee ist dai-neh/Ear-eh Ah-dhreh-say)
Was ist das? - What is that? (sounds like: vas ist das?)

And we'll add to this, the conjugation of heißen
Ich (Ish) heiße
Du heißt
Er/Es/Sie heißt
Wir (Veer) heißen
Ihr (Ear) heißt
Sie (Zee) heißen
(formal) Sie heißen

I'm apparently babysitting the Dye Giant at the front desk. He's not quite old enough to be my grandfather, but he's somewhere between that and old enough to be my father. This amuses me.

Got very little done today. Not sure how I feel, I'd say about that, except I'm just not sure how I feel in general. I'm all sweaty and a bit spaced, and if I had any more symptoms I'd definitely say I was sick, except I don't. It's like a stealth illness. What the hell. On the plus side, I did get about as much writing done volume wise as I was supposed to, and most of the writing that I really really needed to get done, I did. And it was the mail order sale week, so I didn't expect to get too much writing done anyway.
