Real life update / Murder for Fun
Just a veeery quick update.
On Thursday Writers Ink organized an Open Mic. Seven of my students came and read texts, a handful of people from the Deutsch-Englische Gesellschaft came as well - and they wrote their first haiku ever. Apart from the fact that most of the Writers Ink members (except for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shatten) failed to make an appearance (*grits teeth*), it was a nice evening. Afterwards we watched Firefly with two of our friends. Both are utterly hooked. *chuckles evilly*
My course is almost finished. Only two more sessions. My students are giving me very favorable feedback. I have to write a lengthy report now - to justify my continued employment, I guess. Grrr, I hate writing things "official".
Mr. E and my friend S. dyed my hair today. It's now dark like an eggplant. Looks good. Hubby also gave me a footrub. He's the best, and so is S.
Yesterday, the kids recieved their half-term grades. Tina has pretty good grades, I think. Not spectacular, but good. Mostly B's, two A's (music and sports), and a glowing report on her social conduct. Since she's good at music, she will take flute lessons from now on. We bought a new flute today.
Hubby, S. and several friends went to a Murder Mystery Dinner - a prequel to the famous Dinner for One that's always showing on Telly on New Years Eve. It was hilarious. I had a very silly but enjoyable crush on the actor who played Mr. Pommeroy, who was as camp as a row of pink tentsvery gay. Last year we saw a different Murder Mystery with the same cast, and I had the same crush then. Color me beetred. The play was great, and the food divine.
When I asked the actor-who-played-Mr. Pommeroy if I could keep the laminated game-rules, he said, not really, but I should just nick it, but not to quote him in front of his colleagues. :-)
And now I have to go to bed because in less than 3 hours I have to get up again, pack my stuff and off we go to Düsseldorf. Hubby and Tina dance in a tournament.
Toodles. :-)

They've started showing Dinner for One on New Year's Eve here, too. I just love it - tape it every year and mr babyotto sits, bemused, while I giggle my way through the whole thing.

Also Dinner fürs Brot - with Bernd the Bread (whom you can see as Spock in my icon) - wich is just as hilarious.
The Murder Mystery was just as funny. They even had a drop of Mulligatawny soup as the first course. Yum!
