stuff
I haven't checked in here in days. I was on vacation, then a business trip, yadda yadda. This is what came to me on the plane coming home last night, before landing:

Just a general eegads!
I've been busy. I feel like I've been running around crazy for a while now, hence my great pleasure at taking a week off next week. Work has had me stressed, life has had me stressed, you get the idea.

Guten Abend!
Hello my multilingual LJers! Over the last few years, I have set myself goals for the year and this year one of them is to learn German. How much German remains to be seen, but I'd like to be able to do a little reading and be able to have some kind of conversational skill. This may turn out to be a large pain or fairly reasonable. It's hard to ( Read more... ) -
