Practicing Your German and other random moments of my week. . .

Orientation happens every other month on the last Wednesday-Thursday combination of the month. It means I am massively stressed, deal with really stupid people who do not read their email (or look at the agenda I have sent them at least three times before they arrive and have provided for them when they get to the office), leave the house at ungodly hours, and pray for the weekend.

It also means I distract myself with random things to make the week go by faster. My unwindings for the week:

1. The German Vocab section at http://www.freerice.com/ (go to Change Subjects and have fun!)

2. Eric Snider's Sundance Diary: http://www.ericdsnider.com/blog/category/sundance-film-festival/

3. Dear Prudie has been somewhat salacious lately--http://www.slate.com/id/3531/landing/1

4. Jon's Interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson:









And the follow up note:








5. The hysterical 30 Rock--

"I want to go to there" (any time Liz Lemon says this, my heart does a little dance):



I heart Jack Donaghy:

Take a moment, unhook your brain, and enjoy one last distraction:
