This afternoon I went to an Ikea for the first time. Not only did I find neat furniture for my room, but I'm pretty sure I got high off of swedish meatballs, gravy, baked potatoes, and lingonberry sauce. Like whoa.

I intend to write a disgustingly long entry about my weekend trek up to Worcester, MA but that would involve staying upright for more than ten minutes. I have half a mind to plead off the gym this evening and just sit in with a couple of cups of tea. Wednesday starts the work schedule from hell, with two three days in a row stints and two four-day weeks. I'm dreading it from now.

Oh, and thanks for the voting. One of the few times I was completely indecisive. I'll sign up for intensive spanish classes over at NYU and do the German on my own for now.

the pimsleur tapes (which you can probably get through your local library) are quite good. i borrowed a bunch with a thought towards learning italian, and they're comprehensive and teach you worthwhile things to say, as opposed to the foreign language class favorite "my record player is broken".

I will definitely check for the German tapes when I head back in.

My fave is "where is the bathroom?" That's the one thing I can say in Spanish and Italian without hesitation.

Hey, stranger! :P

Can't wait to hear about your weekend trippy!!! Oh, and good luck with your language classes. Sorry I didn't vote...I wasn't really around the f-list much the past couple of days. :(

Hey yourself, Busy Bee. :) No worries about lack of comments from you. Your awesomeness supercedes the quiet.

I love Ikea! I've got big plans to go there in a couple weeks and purchase all sorts of funky new things for my apartment (because I just don't have enough stuff to move as it is).

lingonberries rock! we were just at IKEA the other weekend to get the wee one some stuff and also some kitchen items. Hubbie used to work there before the baby arrived and i would go to the cafe and write while waiting for him to get done. Lots of free coffee refills!

I'm so craving swedish meatballs now.
