(no subject)

Adjectives expressing abstractions (Das Gute, das Schöne) are neuter nouns. They frequently follow words such as etwas, nichts, viel, and wenig, and take the ending -es. (etwas Schönes). Note that anderes is not capitalized in the expression etwas anderes.

Wie war das Wochenende? Melanie und Claudia sitzen nach der Vorlesung im Café und sprechen über das letzte Wochenende. Setzen Sie die fehlenden Adjektivendungen ein.

CLAUDIA: Hast du am Wochenende etwas Schönes gemacht?
MELANIE: Nein, ich habe nichts Besonderes gemacht. Das Interessantes war vielleicht noch der alte Spielfilm Sonntagabend im Fernsehen.
CLAUDIA: Bei mir war das Wochenende eigentlich ganz nett. Ich habe einen neuen französischen Film mit Gerard Depardieu gesehen. Und das Bestes war, Uwe hat mich eingeladen.
MELANIE: War der Film auf Französisch?
CLAUDIA: Ja. Das war ja das Gutes daran! Und ich habe sogar fast alles verstanden.
MELANIE: Ach, wie schön für dich. Aber so etwas Langweiliges wie dieses Wochenende habe ich lange nicht gehabt. Können wir jetzt von etwas anderes reden?


HALP HALP IT'S A HEFFALUMP. And by Heffalump I mean it's a bank appointment tomorrow with the third and hopefully final bank to talk about loans, pre-approvals, things, stuff, blargh. The first bank was toooooo slow. The second bank was tooooo fast. The third bank hopefully was just right? It's Goldilocks and the Three Banks! And you can tell how nervy I am about this by how utterly cracktastic that whole paragraph was. Fear my hyperactive nervousness.

At least I'm getting stuff done. Slowly but surely. Getting stuff done, I have a to-do list and I'm working on that. Slowly pounding stuff out, but getting more and more used to actually separating the work like it's supposed to be separated, which is a little more productive. I'm getting my spreadsheet tools and some essays up, slowly but surely. Hopefully I can have that done by the end of the week so I have a resources post. Black Ice seems to keep churning out ideas pretty quick, too, which amuses me.

And, you know. All of this is probably pretty good because it gives me things to do for All The Sorcery Monday. Because Skin Deep is going to, unless I'm much mistaken, rip me and my watching partner down one side and up the other. And then we're going to hide behind Robert Carlyle in a red thong.

Anyway, things are happening. Things are happening very fast. But I think I'm juggling all of the things with a fair amount of success. I just hope I can keep juggling till I can set some of this crap down.

It was a fairly cracktastic paragraph!

My brain is melting down from my ears. If I could I would spend this whole week writing and playing guitar and venturing out of doors only for Adult Appointments. At least it'll be over soonish.

There are not enough actual heffalumps to defeat in real life, I feel.

Banks are legitimately scary. Heffalumps I can take.

[kittydesade]

I'm not entirely scared of my bank, and maybe I should be. But I would like a good, rousing heffalump defeat just to feel like I'm getting anywhere with something.

You can do it. Promise. If I can, then you can.

[kittydesade]

One slow step at a time. Oof.

Tuesday. We've done any number of those. You can knock them the frell down. (And now that motion keeps making me think of V. Naturally.)
