Yes, the logic is there when I rememeber all the characters that is ;).

I was actually surprised to see that it was not used in english. It's a good little word. Heh!

On another note, our lodger was accepted on the county sponsored intensive Danish course today, starting monday, he's got 8 lessons a week. Two of the teachers there speak spanish, and there are students in his class from Equador and Colombia, so he's extatic. And so are we frankly. I was beginning to fear that his brain might whilt from playing first person shooters 8 hours a day.....

It is. ;) I thought it sounded familiar, though I had no idea what it meant. I must have come across it somewhere before.

Ah yes! With a ph and not an f. I think I'll go and talk to the immigration authorities about a beginners English course.

We took cousin D. to the theme park yesterday. His first time on a rollercoaster, and on a lot of other "high G" rides. He couldn't stop giggling on the way home. He'd never tried anything of the sort. He looked very much like my 4 year old son who just discovered the fun of medium G rides.

Yay, that's awesome! I can totally imagine that.

Btw, I thought the funniest part of this saga so far was that he baffled the immigration authorities by being a Danish citizen! Awesome!

Yay that there's other Spanish-speakers in his class! I would feel SO isolated being thrown into a country where almost nobody speaks my language. It would be horrible.

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
