Because I Said I Would

It's nearly 11:15pm and I'm in a semi-panic because I haven't written a blog entry for today and the prospects of finding something interesting about which to write dwindle by the second. On any other day this would be remedied by my skipping it for a day and instead curling up on the sofa to watch an episode of Criminal Minds and puzzle over why I find Matthew Gray Gubler alternately hot and nerdy. In my world hot and nerdy generally never go together but he pulls it off quite well and all the while wearing some pretty daring dork glasses which I found out recently aren't part of his character's costume but are instead his own real pair of glasses. Plus he has the sort of sense of humor that I love.

Warum mache ich Heute nicht einfach keinen Eintrag? Weil es die Language Week ist und ich habe gesagt ich schreibe jeden Tag etwas in meinen Blog in einer andren Sprache. Einen Tag auszulassen würde mich unvollständig und rastlos lassen. Es wurde mich geschlagen fuhlen lassen. Die bittere Realität mich selbst zu etwas zu verpflichten und es dann nicht fertigzustellen. Ich wurde mich fühlen als ob ich dafür veräntwortlich wär, ein Naturgesetz geändert zu haben und mir dadurch etwas schlimmes passern wurde wie z.B. wieder ins Krankenhaus zu kommen und im TV wurde nichts anderes laufen als Wiederholungen von Full House.

Translation: So why aren't I skipping today's entry? Because it's Language Week and I said I'd write a blog entry every day featuring a language in which I don't normally write. Skipping a day would leave me restless and incomplete. I'd experience the hollow feeling of defeat. The bitter reality of committing myself to something and leaving it unfinished. I'd leave myself open to a shift in the rules of nature and something bad may happen to me like being stuck in the hospital with nothing but re-runs of Full House on TV.

There. There's your German. All's now right with the world.

Let's sum up today's blog entry:

• Nothing happened in my life today that warranted mention in my blog.
• I felt compelled to write a blog entry anyway because of my participation in Language Week and not doing so would give me a bad feeling.
• The words published here have helped me narrowly avoid the disaster of potentially being subjected to the most un-funny TV show in history.
• Matthew Gray Gubler is hot in a nerdy way.
