… and so I had to teach, albeit briefly.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The great surprise was that 12 of 15 students showed up for class. On top of that, they asked for “Subjunctive I” information … they *asked* for grammar. And then, that aside (and after reading a passage from The Neverending Story [in German]) we watched a few minutes of episode 2 of Tuerkisch fuer Anfaenger. Quite entertaining … they laughed a good deal.<\/p>\n
Back in the office I found myself spending too much time on YouTube looking up Laibach videos, Eurovision 2006 videos (the Bosnian entry, the Turkish entry … music videos and the live performances), and some 3-2-1 Contact clips. Nostalgia, I tell you. I couldn’t find the Laibach I wanted, but YouTube, when properly scanned, is a great resource for nifty pop-culture stuff. And yet, because of its nature, the lack of “experts” … there are plenty of “specialists” with esoteric interests, the results of which are “random shit” being posted, but there was nothing from the Transsylvanians (yes — double-ss), nothing really from Ando Drom, one Besh o droM vide, a reference<\/em> to Arik Brauer (a cover of one of his songs, sort of), and old, 1986 Timna Brauer stuff. That is, things I am interested in are hard to find … but then, I find a famous Hungarian poem read by a famous Hungarian actor … read decades ago, somehow captured from a TV broadcast.<\/p>\n Random crap.<\/p>\n It’s great.<\/p>\n Tonight is meet-Lynn-Kris-Jack-Claire-and-others at La Hacienda night … it’s really about the margaritas, I’ve been told. Thus, no time for catching up on music, except for a few Pearl Jam songs. Still hours of the stuff to go. But there is time for reading more of The Secret History<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" … and so I had to teach, albeit briefly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[158,396,372,107,150],"class_list":["post-613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-myspace","tag-books","tag-eurovision","tag-grammar","tag-music","tag-teaching-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
