I've been learning German for two semesters now, and my current class is taught by a young German guy named Bastian. He actually has great taste in music so every week we have "Musik Montag" (music Monday in case you couldn't figure that out. That's the great and also terrible thing about German... the words are often close to English. And then sometimes they sound similar but mean something completely different....) Anyways all semester, as you can probably tell, I've been taking the music we listen to in class and putting it on my blog, on Ken Perkle (a super secret party people blog) or on facebook. So the above song is obviously German and I don't really know what he's singing about. Something about the moon. But I like it.
Also, something else I discovered just this weekend but that is old... The BBC back in 2006 played a four part miniseries of Jane Eyre and it's fuckin' awesome. I kid you not I watched the whole thing straight, as in all 4 hours of it. I forwent sleep for it, and I've read the book like 5 times. It was that great. WATCH IT! You can watch it free online, just google something like "2006 Jane Eyre online free" and click around, you'll eventually be led to an asian (...japanese maybe? I couldn't say for sure) website where you can watch it for free. So do it. The only thing I thought could've been done better was Bertha's part. She wasn't crazy enough for me. I remember the 90's movie where she was batshit, this one was only middling crazy. Like she kind of screamed and cried out "punta!" a few times (isn't that bitch in spanish?...anyone know?) And maybe she could've been a little more pathetic, like wailing. They pretty much insinuated the whole situation was her fault, and it wasn't. Anyways someone, everyone WATCH IT and then we'll debate this point. For now... bed.... need my beauty sleep because HALLOWEEEEEEEN is fast approaching and I love it.
