Yesterday was my
birthday, which was Superbowl Sunday in America, but just another
Sunday where everything is closed in Germany. It was nice to just
relax, though. We painted pictures, watched American movies, and
walked outside in the blistering cold to get a very special Chinese
food dinner. Seeing the temperature at the bank indicate that it’s
-4 degrees Celsius outside would normally serve as a major deterrent
to leave the house, but German Chinese food was a delicacy in our
flat. It didn’t feel as greasy as American Chinese food, and I
didn’t want to rip my stomach open 30 minutes after ingesting it.
The only downside is that they do not have General Tso’s Chicken,
my favorite. The weather had been terrible lately, though, so we
saved it for special occasions.
It was taking me
longer than I thought it would to write The Ransom of Red Chief
script, but I was plugging along. I’m trying to include some of
the original text and dialogue from the story, too. Next week are
auditions, so it doesn’t have to be finished by then, though
it would be ideal. I plan on having them read their monologues from
last week and then perform a scene that I already wrote. I may even
make them do an improvisation scene.
Even though I don’t
visit Günther anymore, I’ve been studying my German on a more
consistent basis. It’s been a fun way to increase my vocabulary,
and Alex has been an excellent teacher. His German is noticeably
improving, too.
