About a week and-a-half ago on a library trip I found Syntax der deutschen Sprache, which I finally have time to peruse as I compose a paper analyzing some aspect of Kleider machen Leute this evening. Ich habe die Handlung einfacher zu verstehen gefunden, als die andere Geschichte, daß ich vorher gelesen habe. Heute fang ich Immensee von Theodor Storm zu lesen an; ich glaube, daß Immensee besser wird. Die zwei Kinder am Anfang der Novelle sind lustig.
Ich liebe Netflix. Ich bin immer im Stress, weil ich zu viel zu tun habe. Es gibt nur eine Lauree. Ein kleine Lauree. Watching a movie before bed makes me have dreams; if I spend all of one day or all of one week going to school, going to work, and sleeping in between, I usually do not dream, or dream very little, or dream nothing memorable. The unstimulating, unproductive cycle stunts my imagination and creativity.
Last night I watched Quills, which I liked well enough, though I found certain points contentious. The ending in particular, mostly for being a little too appropriate and predictable, left me unsatisfied. And though the film is set in Europe, I sensed more American sensibilities toward the subject matter.
Jetzt muß ich Deutsch lesen.
