I can't believe I haven't posted anything here in more than a week! Unacceptable!
To be fair nothing much happened, it's been a quiet winter week. In the afternoons I help my aunt over the phone with her English homework: ever since our London trip last year she's wanted to learn the language, and a couple of months ago she started an English course. Yesterday we spent two hours working on pronouns, and doing simple conversations, "nice to meet you" "this is my wife" "no, I'm not French". She was worried it would bore me, but I actually enjoy it a lot.
On sunday I did a little Just Dance marathon. In the new game you can send challenges to other players, and the multiplayer works a lot better than before. I spent more than two hours dancing with a girl from Canada, two boys from Brazil, and a girl from Russia. It was great fun, until I woke up the morning after and I couldn't even lift my arms. Still worth it. :D
Today I suddenly realized the actor playing King Richard in Galavant is Cain from Supernatural. Yes, it took me three weeks. Embarassing. Speaking of, I'm enjoying the show a lot more. It still has problems with the plot, and there's little character development, but the musical numbers are amazing, and it is really funny. Plus the guest stars are incredible. I shouted out in glee more than once. When Rutger Hauer appeared in all his awesome Dutch glory in the latest episode I jumped out of my chair and screamed his name out loud, thus startling the cat off my lap. :D God, I do hope he gets a musical number next week!
I've also learned how to play Elliot Smith's Between The Bars with my ukulele, and I'm so proud of it. Being an alto my voice works best with soulful tunes written for male voices, and with the inherent cheerfulness of the instrument the final effect is great, if I do say so myself. ;)
There are also news on the Reading Bingo side: the original blog did make a new card, but it's a Canadian card. Half of the squares do not even make any sense to my European brain, so I went ahead and co-wrote a new card with the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
entangled_now. And then asked a dear friend of mine to use her photoshop skills to make the actual card. If any of you would like to join in, I'll publish the card here as soon as it's in my hands!
