Long time, no... type?
Hey y'all. I just got back from two weeks in the US. It was great to spend some time with my family and a few of my friends, and I really had a nice trip. Marty was there, too, for the first week. We visited his family in Athens, GA, and Mount Airy, NC. Then I flew home to south Georgia and saw my family, while Marty came back to Germany to go back to work.
It was a busy visit and a lot of fun. The weather was great, too, except for a couple of days of rain early last week. I wish I could've stayed longer, but at the same time it's nice to be home.
After two weeks in the States, my German felt a little rusty yesterday, but it came right back once I started.
Last night on TV, we saw an ad for flavored milk that has chocolate, strawberry, and chili pepper in it. I know that sounds strange, but seriously, that's what it is. There are a lot of flavored milks here, they're very popular, and apparently this is new and maybe for a limited time only. Look, I even found it online: „Lava“ überzeugt seine Fans durch eine perfekte Kombination aus Schoko und Erdbeer sowie – Freunde pikanter Würze aufgepasst – Chillipfeffer. Hier tanzen die Geschmacksnerven Salsa!
The funniest part is, the ad campaign for this stuff uses the slogan "Ich bin dagegen!" (I'm against it!) -- then people try the milk and change their tune to "Ich bin dafür!" (I'm for it!). I'm pretty much against it, myself.
The Harmunichs have a small performance this Friday at the Neues Rathaus in Munich -- that's our town hall, aka the building where the Glockenspiel is. We're just doing five or six songs during a wine festival. Tomorrow will be my first rehearsal in about a month, thanks to my vacation and a week I missed due to illness right before. I hope I can get my voice back in shape by Friday!
