We Amuse Myself

But seriously. I suppose those of you reading this who don't understand the Deutsch (that is to say, the German) will need a translation. However, to explain the joke would be to ruin it, so I will say nothing other than 'Look it up, you un-gedeutsched fiend!'... Okay, you're not really a fiend. But you may find me to be one, as you won't be able to understand this blog.  After this point, it's about to be typed in German. Are you ready? No? Well, geeeeeet reeeeaaaaady aaaaaaannnndddd...

JETZT!

Ich tippe jetzt auf Deutsch. Es dauerte nur 4 Posten, bevor ich auf Deutsch tippen musste. Ganz geil, ja? (Alice, du solltest Chelsea oder Marianna fragen, ob sie für dich übersetzen werden... Aber wenn du das noch nicht gemacht hat... dann könntest du nicht meine Wörter und meinen Rat verstehen... NEEEEEEIIIIIINNNN! Das Schlimmstest! Vielleicht wirst du die Namen erkennen und die werden genug sein.)

Okay, jetzt teile ich meine Lieblingsfilme (aus DuTube, natürlich) mit euch, weil sie soooooo lustig und ausgezeichnet sind.

Nummer Eins:

Meine Mutter hat mich zuerst diesen Film gezeigt (Er ist auf Englisch). Es ist für immer und ewig lustig.

... Scheißzapfen (das ist meine Übersetzung von "crapsicle") Blogger lass mich nicht,  Filme, die mir nicht gehören, aufzuladen... (Das ist genau, warum jemand muss mich die Wunder von Blogging durchbilden...) Okay, kein Problem... Ich werde die URLs der Filme mit euch teilen. Ganz antiklimaktisch... ich weiß...

Nummer Eins noch einmal!:

Berlitz Ad (guck mal!)

Well, now I'm disappointed and out of German steam. Stupid Needing-to-own-the-videos-ness. Poop. Okay, I'll hurry up and finish this very anti-climactic blog. Here are the other videos. Watch them and get out.

Number Two:

"I Will Jetzt Gleich König Sein" from Der König der Löwen (Why? Because I listened to it little 13 times in a row today, and I think I like it better than the original - Also, it comes with the lyrics! Woot!)

PS: Watching these videos in German just helped to remind me how much I heart the Lion King. I don't care if Disney stole it from Kimba the White Lion. Can Kimba sing like Simba?! I think not!

 Number Three:

"Du bist Deutschland" (Because Du are Deutschland. Also, I TOTALLY used to have this on my computer... WHY did I delete it! Stupid Not-being-able-to-downloard-from-YouTube-Anymore-Ness...)

And to make it an even Number Four:

Monty Python Mr. HilterSketch (Sure it's in English but it's MONTY PYTHON. Plus there's German Untertiteln!).

PS: If you like these, the Funniest Joke in the World and It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart also showcase the German spirit. And there's a German cameo in the Italian Lesson. 

Now go away and let me sulk in peace.

PS Totally figured out how to use the hyperlinks to post the videos this post. Take that Bloggesphere! You may have won this battle, but to be sure I SHALL win the war!

I'm still working out the nuts and bolts, if you will, of this blog-thingy. For a member of the tech generation who's parents are engineers that can totally create their own computer programs and spy on others via trails carelessly left on their computer, I am not as skilled at this as I should be. ,

So this entry title is reminding me of Attempto, which in the Latin means "attempt" and which happens to be the motto of a certain German university I heart, Tübingen (oh yeah, check out that umlaut action!). I have a picture of it somewhere. Not to digress, but one thing that saddens me about the Interwebs is that you loose a lot of dramatic pausing - which I also heart. For example, I can't really type "Just a minute while I go find the picture"and then  have you wait at the edge of your seat, drowning in agonizing anticipation of what majesty I could possibly unveil. I  mean, I could do that, but let's face it, where's the drama that I love oh so very much? You can just scroll down at look at the picture.

*sigh* Just go head and look at the picture all ready! *grumblegrumble*No one appreciates presentation anymore *crochtycomplaining* Gaze upon it's Schönheit! 

Attempt. I think that's a good motto. We made not succeed but we will at least attempt. But than I suppose it depends on what you're attempting. Attempting to invent the light bulb, pretty much a good thing and you may even get some other inventions out of your failures. Attempting to start World War Three*, not necessarily so much.

Aaaaanyway. This post ended up being way longer than I planned. It's the magical allure of Tübingen, don't ya know.

*Funny story. Maybe I'll post it one day.
