Learning English; Lesson 42

In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "42" is the answer to "life, the universe and everything." If only it were that simple... Eve has just discovered that her high school Spanish credits have no bearing on her university life. She must now take 12 hours (3 semesters) of a foreign language. But... Sign in to see full entry.

Expansionism

After my sharp words yesterday, I resigned myself to really making an effort to show Eve that I was sorry. She needed help studying for an exam. Have I mentioned that she's an art history major? Well, s Sign in to see full entry.

A bad one

Today was not one of the good days. Today was a bad day. A very bad day. I awoke tired and grumpy. By 10 a.m., it was all I could do not to scream at the people around me. Around 3 p.m., I snapped. I just couldn't seem to contain it anymore. I didn't mean to do it and I'm going to have to do penance... Sign in to see full entry.

The "neighborly" spirit

Growing up, my parents used to go all out when it came to decorating for the holidays. Once I became a homeowner myself, I found pleasure in it as well. Especially since I live in a "starter" neighborhood. With few exceptions, my neighbors are all young couples with school aged (or younger)... Sign in to see full entry.

When the watching ends

At some point, TV becomes a massive blur of consumer driven crap. I was hopeful that halloween would bring some relief from the never ending sitcoms, reality tv shows and reruns of crime dramas. It did... sort of. In their place came horror films... the same horror films over and over and over... Sign in to see full entry.

Standing Still and Spinning

I have a billion questions... about everything. No answers for them though. I don't understand what's happening to me... what's happened to me. Take physical therapy for example. I go, they put me in a contraption and tell me to walk. It's just one leg, so why does the other feel like it's in... Sign in to see full entry.

Blogging is Work

Over the last few days, I've started a couple of entries and deleted them. I've read a couple of things by other writers and then decided that my comments were unnecessary. It's good to have some kind of normalcy in my life... but it's a lot like work. Not that I should complain, I'm not doing much... Sign in to see full entry.

Football Sunday

I sat down today and watched the Kansas City Chiefs play the Oakland Raiders. Hadn't watched a game all season. Couldn't seem to find the motivation to get interested. Still had some problems with it. It wasn't a very exciting game. However, near the end, there was an interception that kept KC from... Sign in to see full entry.

Помнать (verb meaning: to remember)

The last three days have been spent in memory. Reflections on a broken life perhaps. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I felt like myself all day today. It's a first. Maybe we do heal. Completely fried out from television, I decided to do something different today. I was going to write. Not a blog... Sign in to see full entry.

Another therapy appointment down

It's a Monday and I have spent two hours in therapy. The first hour was spent 1 on 1 with a therapist and the second hour was a group session. I think therapy actually feeds my anger. First off, I would like a definition for "normal." What exactly does that mean? And are there really people... Sign in to see full entry.
