Brain Break

I was starting to go crazy from German translation, and so I give you Questions of the Day, stolen from Bronwyn's blog:

Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says: "abfertigen: v/t (sep, -ge-, h) 1. a.) dispatch." Yes, the German-English dictionary is the closest book.
Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? One of Chris's science magazines. Scientific America Mind, I guess it is.
What is the last thing you watched on TV? Elf.
WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what time it is: 4:00pm
Now look at the clock, what is the actual time? 4:21pm
With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? Chris in the kitchen.
When did you last step outside? Yesterday afternoon, when I took the rent upstairs. I know; it's sad.
Before you came to this website, what did you look at? Um, Bronwyn's blog? Before that, it was kristiface's blog where I was playing with her adopted online pets. I'm procrastinating.
What are you wearing? red yoga pants, black t-shirt, burgundy zip-up bunnyhug, rubber-soled slippers. I am classiness personified.
Did you dream last night? I don't remember any of last night's dreams. Apparently, I was sleeping heavily, for once.
When did you last laugh? A few minutes ago, when Chris was being triumphant about something.
What is on the walls of the room you are in? Framed pictures, a Hiroshige poster and a candle thingy.
Seen anything weird lately? A German-language review of a video game about King Kong.
What is the last film you saw? At home? Elf In theatre? Mr. & Mrs. Smith
If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first? a house in the pretty neighbourhood nearby.
If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? I'm sticking with Bronwyn's answer: "Everyone would care more about others than about themselves."
Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? Emily Anne (yes, I'm whimsical and read a lot of L.M. Montgomery), or Elizabeth Margaret (going with the unused first names of my grandmother and Chris's mom) what if you have a boy? Joshua Christopher (that name is laden with puns on Chris and my names)
Would you ever consider living abroad? I will have to live in Germany, because of my research. And that will be awesome.

Okay! Okay! I'll now go and translate that King Kong review. (I'm studying by translating things, and writing down the stuff I ought to know and forget.)

LynnieC said...

yeah. Tis the season. like christmas and stuff. Although, I admittedly DO listen to Christmas music all year and will watch White Christmas at the drop of a hat.
What's that? Did someone just drop a hat?
