Cousins, movies, new vocabulary....

Mari and me, Easter 06. I spent quite a few glorious, but potentially mindnumbingly boring days at their house, mainly struggling with my bachelor essay, while Mari and Gunhild were writing two papers each, for school. But their dad had just bought a new digital camera, which we got a lot of fun out of... I'm telling you, bored, sleep deprived girls with a camera can result in an incredibly lame sense of humour... If it deserves to be thus labelled... And that way, mindnumbingly boring became hilariously distracting, with the lovely help and company of my two studious cousins... How far my essay got along during those holidays is another story, not to be bothered with in this forum.

This week's movie recommendation: Mari and I just watched "Thank You For Smoking"... For those of you who love arrogance honed to perfection - here in a lovely satire of the American tobacco industry and their mysterious ways in the world of lobbying - you are hereby promised chuckles, hearty laughs and snorts, for this is one masterpiece of an argumentation schooling: "If you argue correctly, you are never wrong!"

And I also learned a new English word today, which it would be criminal of me not to share with you; lackadaisical. What a mouthful! What a word! Simply marvellous! And its definition, (for you other ignoramuses) is this: "lacking vigour and determination; unenthusiastic".

For my French-speaking audience; Chers amis - Telles étaient mes réflections pour ce soir. Bonne nuit, tout le monde sous le beau ciel étoilé!
