Paintedspires is baaack! And other stuff.

The first challenge on the newly renovated paintedspires has been launched! Say hello to the Halloween Challenge:

Go here for more information.

I have new glasses. The frames are gold and rectangular/trapezoidal and I have the strange feeling that they're the kind you might see in forbidding-but-sexy-librarian roleplay. Except it makes me look like a cross between Peggy from King of the Hill and this random character from the Simpsons.

rageprufrock shoved me headfirst into asian drama, and some are actually really charming, Coffee Prince is the cutest thing alive and Mars is rather addictive (anyone happen to have the title song?). While we're on the subject of media in other languages, hey, look, German soaps! Some kind individual has put English subtitles on all the Christian/Oliver clips from Verbotene Liebe and they are kind of adorable. I had a brief period of enthusiastically trying to learn German many many years ago, because my best friend was, but since I was trying to do it by myself, it kind of fizzled out soon. I remember a few random words and how to order black coffee :/

Bored now :(

Yeah, that is true. It's just more fun with others too. For a while I was in a Spanish course at a local women's center which offered course prices that were income adjusted, so I had to pay only a fraction of what a regular language course would have cost. Having company and structure really helped. But then the women's center got its funding cut, and couldn't offer these things anymore. :(
