NEUERBURG - another sunday

GERMANY

The internet came back! On a sunday! Take that, boredom.

I've just worked out after 6 months that if I plug my laptop cable into the socket next to the bed, I can keep the laptop on my bedside table when not in use and then not even have to get out of bed to use it when I wake up at whatever hour in the afternoon. If I then put my TV remotes next to the laptop, I can live out my Neuerburg weekends as if I was a morbidly obese bed-ridden person.

Is it bad that this is genuinely exciting?

Twilight is on TV at the moment. It's somehow better in German, possibly because I don't understand every word of the terrible dialogue. It's also just struck me how much all the foresty-rivery bits look exactly like Neuerburg. I might start pretending to be a vampire.

I was talking with my students earlier; apparently some of the 12th grade are going to Tuscany in a fortnight for a week. Tomorrow I'm gonna try and wing myself a place on this thing. I'm not sure what it may cost, but I get paid in 4 days so it shouldn't be an issue.

Last thing I guess is that someone got to this blog by searching "big knobs". Whatev.
