Nominative case!
Nouns are given in the nominative case. The articles in order of masculine, neuter, feminine, and plural are der, das, die, die.

Use the adjectives in the list to decide what the weather was like on each day of the week. Example: Am Samstag war der Regen stark.

Am Montag war die Sonne schlecht(?) (The picture is of partly-cloudy weather signage.)
Am Dienstag war der Morgen schön.
Am Mittwoch war der Abend heiß.
Am Donnerstag war der Wind warm.
Am Freitag war der Tag kalt.
Am Samstag war der Regen stark.
Am Sonnabend war das Wetter nass.

This is probably my cue to upload my German vocab too, if only to get the associated genders of the nouns embedded in my thinkmeats. Stupid damn gendered languages. Times like this I think we should all just be telepathic or speak one language over the whole wide world and then we wouldn't have to think about things like this. Of course, then I wouldn't have my own brand of "toys" to play with so... eh. Don't mind me, I'm just grumbling.


I have a blanket over my knees. It extends down to the floor, where the cat is lying on the other end of it. He keeps rolling over to one side and every time he does it pulls the blanket a little further down. This would be more amusing if my legs weren't fucking freezing.

Oogh. Okay, I have some food in me, hopefully this means I can regain my brain cells and tell this in a coherent manner. Last weekend Moose IMs me and says that her mother has a spinning wheel for sale. Now, ever since I got actually proficient enough to make whole skeins of yarn I've been contemplating getting a spinning wheel, despite not actually knowing what I'd do with the damn skeins of yarn. (Sell them, maybe?) But it's a sizable outlay of money, and I held off and I held off for a while, since I do have the store demonstrators to spin on if I really want to. The only problem with that is, it's either schlepp downtown whenever I want to spin and sit in front of the store confusing people and maybe making them think the store is open, or do it during store hours when I may or may not have time. So, Moose and I talked... well, mostly I told her she was evil and asked some questions and...

... learned that this was the same model wheel that I'd learned on. ARGH.

To top this off, the Monday after this conversation when I went back to work, I got dragged into a half-hour spinning demonstration/discussion with at least three if not four young kids and their gaggle of adults. Clearly, the world wanted me to spin. Preferably, it wanted me to spin now. So I poked my finances some more, did some agonizing, and then went ahead and negotiated with the lady in question to buy the wheel. And now, as Moose has said, it's on its way! And I am already plotting to spend tomorrow afternoon carding some of the leftover wool I still have from spinning class. And checking over the demo wool from the drum carder. And then possibly getting either some domestic whenever that gets in or maybe just some more raw wool so I can mess with that, except I shouldn't because I should put the cards back so the spinning class won't be short a pair. Never mind.

Somewhere in here I have a brain to do things with. Maybe. That's the running theory, but I'm not sure it's actually true. Щт еруююю... see? I have no brain. On the other hand, I'm fixing my language lessons. And then I'm going to hide somewhere and do something that requires no brain.
