AM Fiord

10:54am CEST Wednesday 06 July 2005

We are in the middle of a fiord, going 9 knots according to the announcement. I'm with Kuni on the top deck, watching the water on one side and an overcast sky above. Tall hills on one side with snow on top. They are not craggly. I'm impressed with this village with maybe 100 buildings spread out over a couple kilometers diameter. I'm hard pressed to imagine a road that reaches this village; they seem to just be isolated from the rest of the world.

We occasionally see houses on the side of the mountain with no apparent roads. Unless that's a road - it's really fuckin' steep. I've got a jacket on, but still wearing sandals to show off my green toenail polish that Katt painted for me some time ago.

The sky is overcast, and it's beautiful, but it's not describably different than being in a lake. So it's not like Oh My God I've never seen anything like this before. It's nice, but.

We had a hot chocolate drinking party of sorts; it started in Kris' room: Kris, Tammy, and maybe Natalie came and mixed up some hot chocolate.

I've been wandering around and feeling kinda horny. I want to hook up with someone. Argh.

Katt said, "you need to find a nice Japanese girl."

I joked, "I'm halfway there!" Katt is half Japanese, half Kiwi. She laughed. I like her laugh.

German soccer

5:38pm CEST Wednesday 06 July 2005

The Germans "hosted" a soccer game in the sports deck. I played one game, but it's far too cold for me to want to be out there. Every game had a different Good Sportsmanship Rule; ours was that we had to play with our hands in our pockets. Others have been playing in pairs, or playing using only opposite foot to kick, etc.

I'm sitting next to Kuni in the weight gym now; we are just watching them play out in the cold.

Grrr Brandt

6:30pm CEST Wednesday 06 July 2005

Brandt asked me if he could borrow my USB memory stick thing and I was like, "for how long?" and he goes "two minutes."

Two minutes? No. I have to fucking leave now, but I don't have my keys because I gave them to Brandt, and now I can't find Brandt.

Natalie Niveen Salsa

10:27pm CEST Wednesday 06 July 2005

I'm watching Natalie teach Niveen how to Salsa right here in GET Room 9. Supposed to be working on my lessons plans for tomorrow (and the next five lessons past that).

Not long ago I made some progress toward getting images integrated in my journal entries.

11:05pm

Shit; I gotta work on my lessons.

1:28am CEST Thursday 07 July 2005

Lessons done. Katt helped. Bedtime now.
