series, aspen, rain

* Watching a French television series with much soup, cigarettes, and coffee shared amongst the characters. My mouth waters for soup, cigars, and coffee. Enjoying the German words interspersed with French. zweisamkeit. einsamkeit. Someone in a humor class said that Germans have no sense of humor but I think their humor manifests itself in their language, subtlely or subtly. (My spell correct does not like the first one.) The way words are glued together in German is interesting. Krankenhaus.

* Aspen leaves shiver.

* Far away, a curtain of rain falls from dark clouds. A grey water color wash.

* I cringe/flinch when the theme of a book/short story is missed...In today's crossword the clue is 'gift in "the Gift of the Magi"'. Their answer is 'fob'. No, guys, you are missing the entire, whole wonderful point of the story.
