SICK

Even the rooster next door (yes... we have a cock next door, the feathered kind. I told you I'm staying with my parents in the countryside! I haven't moved to the city yet) sounds hoarse. I wonder if he's been overdoing the iced drinks too in an attempt to cool down. I wish I hadn't, damn it.

At least the temperature has dropped a little up here, which is a relief.

I hope you're all doing well. From what I've heard, the latest weekly catastrophe has landed in Venezuela. I'm sorry, guys. I hope you're all doing as well as can be expected.

On a happier note, it's almost Friday. 

My parents are hitting the road. I'll have the house all to myself for a month.

Hehe.

Hehehe.

((diabolical laughter ))

...and there's this cutie working at my favourite café...

Happy Saturday, Earthlings. Working today myself, though after my last job this feels like a paid holiday.

SEX AND JOKES

I am reading Fluent Forever. Its author, Gabriel Wyner, suggests using mnemonic images for complicated aspects of a new language, such as a noun's gender.

Mnemonic images are basically pictures used to help us remember things. He prefers to use action verbs to represent genders and mentions that "sexual verbs are classic choices." Apparently, we humans remember two things particularly well: sex and jokes.

Now... I must be a weird human, or indeed an alien, as I have long suspected. In the 53 years I have been sitting (mostly) on this planet, I have remembered only one joke. Just one. My favorite joke. One that seems to make only me laugh, but I adore.

Perhaps the reason for my lack of comedic memory was the strength of my other memory. Sexuality occupied a rather large portion of my grey matter when I was young. Had I been born in the Middle Ages, I would probably have had 16 children.

Luckily... I wasn't.

How are things?

Wonderful. The sun is shining, my Korean and French are still catastrophic, but work is good. Mini Me is in love... and I am living a nearly-normal life at long last, back at home.

I wish I could make this sense of peace reach all of you. I have enough for an army at the moment!

Besos,

FREEZE!
