brief update

[percival]

Some people on my friends list have had some exposure to German. They will surely appreciate this article by Mark Twain.

In other news, I've been fawning over a new baby girl (colleague's daughter) and
have reached an interesting stage in the infertility saga: I strongly believe I will never get
pregnant. This belief depresses me slightly on one hand, on the other hand, I'm now throwing myself
into my patchwork career, as sourcebook called it - where having a baby would be difficult.

I also subvert my attempts at getting pregnant by having
sugar and coffee. Part of me is saying "What the hell - this will never work - I might as well have fun!"

Oh, and I might be teaching sociolinguistics this term. Keep your fingers crossed for me ... I will post
a summary of my lectures here. You seem to be sufficiently interested :)

Good luck with everything. I'm thinking about you, and wishing you the best.

And please do post your lectures. I would love to see them. :)
