So I've been studying Norwegian. I got a book from the library to learn more. It proclaimed to only be teaching the Bokmål form, so I looked to wikipedia for more info. A chart compared different expressions in various dialects. The final was: "My hovercraft is full of eels." The best thing ever is when it is Old Norse's turn to take a swing it says: Hovercrafts did not exist when Old Norse was spoken, real serious-like in italics.
Thats's all. I'm sort of tiring of this blog. Reading Birds of America on the subway and it is real good. Interviewed for an internship at Barnard today. Just watched a real good episode of Masterpiece theater whilst knitting. New York kindof sucks.

My favorite story in that book is "Community Life."
Yes, that is my favorite too. I like best the Tom Swifties = "You're only average, he said meanly" I laughed out loud on the train.
