When I was in high school, I studied both French
and German, not unusual in itself, since quite a few other kids like me really loved learning languages. The fact that the
same teacher taught
both languages is probably more amazing! Other students always asked me how in the world I could juggle two languages in the same year. Luckily, the classes were usually in different semesters, so I could keep them separate in my mind. This same teacher would always chuckle if I mistakenly slipped in a French word in German class, and vice versa!
In my last year of high school French, we had to do a project on a francophone country or region... Naturally, I chose Alsace-Lorraine, a French- and German-speaking area!
Back on topic:
Since I wisely sent in my income tax return more than a month before the April 30th deadline and received my refund only two weeks later
, I (almost unwisely
) decided to go on a bit of a spending spree this past month!
PC games (from eBay and elsewhere):
The Orion Conspiracy, The Legend of Kyrandia Book 1, Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals, Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon, Dark Fall 'Pins & Needles' Edition, and the Sam & Max Celebration Special (Sam & Max Seasons 1 & 2, plus their respective CD soundtracks, the Sam & Max Freelance Police DVD box set AND a limited edition signed hardcover edition of Surfin' the Highway!
)

And a nice, comfy pair of red and grey tiger-striped Zubaz pants for lounging around at home.
