Made a to do list at the beginning of the weekend and now it’s Sunday evening and I am nodding off in front of the keyboard so it’s time to crank out this little bloggerooni and check in to 6 hours of oblivion before the madness starts afresh, so I check my to do list, and find myself at about 20%, max.
Miliam…I’m patenting that name, right now
I’d set my goal as translating 3 short stories and I managed to struggle through 2, and basically that sucked up the time needed for everything else. I didn’t write any poetry at all. We didn’t do any of the little modifications to this blog that I wanted to do, but that was a bit unfair of me to put it on my to do list, because it basically falls under the heading of “bug my wife to do it” because, really, I don’t know doodly squidget about no computers.
It was a nice weekend, though. This afternoon we went swimming at a place northeast of Prague I’d never been to before, big pond, small lake, reminded me a bit of the gravel pits around Des Moines, in fact, I think that might be what it was, just guessing from the way there was no beach hardly at all, just suddenly the water is there and the deep water is pretty close to the shore.
Yesterday, Isabel had a 3 hour ballet rehearsal, tomorrow is their end of the year finale performance, it’s cute, a bunch of kids up on stage, but it’s in Statni Opera, an absolutely magnificent building inside and out and, apparently, it’s sold out, which is kind of amazing to me. It’s a kid’s show, it’s not a major international ballet troupe.
Also, began choosing stories for this month’s Watson’s World News, the on-line easy English newspaper we put together for our students. In this edition we will have the world’s largest toilet, an 84 year old man who wants a sex change operation, an online language school where all the teachers are hot babes, a Thai artist who paints with her tits and, of course, Hannah Montana’s upcoming wedding.
Bizarre and twisted stuff happening all over the world.
