Boring but not bored

Monday was extremely uneventful. Did some translating at work, which is relatively easy to do but extremely difficult to do well. Simon was trying to think of the English word for a bed on a train, and having never been on a train with beds and rarely discussing them, I was no help. Interesting to realize I don't know my own language. (Luckily, he came up with "berth" and I was able to Google it quickly to verify.)

Lunch was good - either I am eating better meals across the board, or my tastes are adjusting. I never thought anything (besides the pigeon soup) was bad, but my first couple of weeks I never really enjoyed the food that much. It's a nice change. On that note, dinner was tasty as well. Some sorta fish. Fish and vegetables get extremely high marks here.

When I got home for the night, I got to work troubleshooting my ipod syncing and finding pictures of clothes I want made - both activities that can drag on pretty much endlessly. No luck with the ipod, but I'm not ready to give up yet.

...And that's I've got. I promise more entertaining or at least thoughtful entries in the future.

Berth is not a word one thinks about very often. Thank you for mentioning it.

Berth = another word people do not say out loud. I should write a book about these discoveries.

It's not like you're on contract to entertain us, you know, though you are very entertaining.

Happy that you are enjoying the food more lately.

Get some cool clothes made!
