May you live in Interesting Times |
Wait, let me think. There was quite a lot I wanted to write about recently, but very little of that actually had anything to do with me personally, so I forgot. But now I remember: It had something to... Posted by Grendels Dad on Wed, 07 May 2008 03:11:00 PST |
Back to blah |
Once again I fall victim to the universal rule that anything one needs to do automatically cannot be fun, no matter how enjoyable it may have seemed in the past. The summer semester has started three ... Posted by Grendels Dad on Thu, 03 Apr 2008 02:56:00 PST |
From Germany with loathing |

Amazing, astonishing, astounding, remarkable and absolutely not ordinary holiday special |
I am sorry, apologetic, penitent, contrite and remorseful. Among, amongst, amid and amidst my Christmas presents was a "Dictionary of English Synonyms & Antonyms", and I have to get some use out of it... Posted by Grendels Dad on Sun, 06 Jan 2008 12:29:00 PST |

It was just one of these days |
I'm aaaaaalive, I'm aaaaaaaliiiiiiiiiiiive!" is the chorus of the incomparably cheesy song The last unicorn by the band America. The song can be found on the soundtrack to the incredibly tawdry ani... Posted by Grendels Dad on Wed, 28 Nov 2007 04:57:00 PST |
This goes past my ass! |
& is a crude word-for-word translation of a German idiom used when something is of very, very, very little interest. Es/ Das (It/ this, 3rd person personal pronoun) geht (goes, 3. sg. n.)mir (my, 1st ... Posted by Grendels Dad on Thu, 22 Nov 2007 09:38:00 PST |
Calling in sick |
I just noticed that my last blog had round about 800 words, and it was fun to write. Now I have to write an essay of 600 words, written manually, and I am beside myself with dullness. Interesting, tha... Posted by Grendels Dad on Mon, 19 Nov 2007 04:01:00 PST |
