Yesterday was very nice out. I downloaded some new music, mostly from movie soundtracks.
After my shower I hung out with Olga and Lena for a bit and then walked to the Spar and back and Harris and I watched the Two Towers (Lord of the Rings, mom) which was amazing as ever, but the medicine I've been taking for my knee pain makes me sleepy when I try and watch movies. Afterwards I hung out with Tyler and Shelby in the kitchen for a while until they left to go to the pier and then I spent a few hours doing my mixed media project instead of sleeping, but I am happy with the way it turned out so I will post it shortly.
I'm a bit tired this morning, but I'm glad I have that finished.
I am teaching myself rudimentary vocabulary in several languages thanks to a free program downloadable offline that Drew found (thanks Drew!). I'm going to brush up on my French German and Spanish. I also have Italian Irish Dutch Albanian and Danish (just in case I set off on a mission to meet Justin) and Polish. Some will be studied in more detail, but I have them if I want now. There are numerous other ones I can download if I get through all these (like Czech, Ukrainian and Luxembourgish - which I would learn simply to say I knew it because I didn't even know they had a separate language, considering I hear you can actually RENT Luxembourg. If you're filthy rich, that is).
I also realized that every country I have been to so far, I have heritage from - French, Irish, German...
Now I just need Italy, Canada and Holland if I want to do the whole this-is-your-bloodline-tour.
Not sure how interested I am in Holland though, but I do know what Dutch words for animals mean in English because of studying with Drew haha
Anyway, since my work is done for tomorrow, for the morning at least, I am going to go learn some things.

...don't forget the English in your bloodline, the "Cartwrights" wouldn't want to be dissed! (& you've been to London)...being a "Heinz-57" from my side of the gene pool will keep you on the move!
by the way, you could pick up bulbs for me in Holland- just saying...
oh, & my cousin Justin is in Denmark for only another week, but Connie says he's then on his way to Finland next...I'll email you his email address...coming to realize that globetrotting may also be in that gene pool...
What, i said that England counted toward the heritage tour! I know I'm English. haha and if you want to go to Holland we can do that after we are done in Ireland, I wouldn't argue with that... Although I'd rather go to poland haha. Ooooh Finland. Looks like I'll have to download the finnish language set as well. I could go to Finland. Hmmmm
...you also realize that grandma's dark hair (as she always said) cannotes the infusion if the "black-Irish" into the gene pool, from the Spaniards who's ships were said to be "lured" into the rocks along the Irish northern coast. With no way to retun to Spain, they simply assimilated...Soooooooo......
so technically i am distantly spanish, but less than i am french. i'll get to spain eventually, but at least i used to know some spanish haha
finland costs about the same as poland to get there except finland is already on the euro. Helsinki specifically, is where i would go if i went there. Seems to be lots of art galleries. and gardens. want to go?
maybe someday, i'm sure Helsinki's gardens are FAST asleep right now!
i'm a sucker for movie soundtracks or at least super great songs from cult classics. i have the sweeny todd soundtrack and i'm sure you'll love it. it's exciting to hear that you are learning different languages. i've been listening to your french cd's while driving to brush up haha.
I hear the fishing is awsome in Finland!!!!
hey dad, wanna go to finland sometime when it's really warm? let's go over the summer haha. or we can just go after we're done in ireland. i bet it's nice in finland in may haha. and lots of gardens, mom. *nudge nudge wink wink*
oh well if we're gonna spend time in finland we migh as well stay another few weeks and travel to Italy, then again, I hear the brown trout are really special in germany. okay so perhaps we should spend the summer travelling around europe. Like the family in the Dickens novel traveling around giving plays with their daughter, Emily, The Phenemonon. Spelling?
CAN WE PLEEEAAAAASSSEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!???
