patribus

I was typing my blogspot address in but accidentally typed partibus.blogspot.com and Blogger goes, "This blog doesn't exist, but you can start a blog called Partibus," and I was like, "Why didn't I think of this earlier? Partibus is so much more fun than patribus!"

Also, my thoughts on learning foreign languages:
1. Learning languages is way more fun if you embody the country's stereotypes. I bet I would still be studying French if I were encouraged to wear berets, chortle and speak in an exaggerated French accent. And I would definitely take up Latin again, just to walk around pedantically in a jacket with elbow patches with a smarmy smile, saying "Oh, ambulate. From the Latin ambulo, ambulare." 2. I recently discovered shower curtains (cute ones!) and found that there were many, like the one above, that would help learn you learn languages in the shower. What a great idea, right? So I was talking to a friend, and I was telling her that colleges should totally take advantage of this and throw in a shower curtain along with your language textbook to help you learn, and this friend goes, "What happens after you learn all of the words on the shower curtain?" I responded by saying that companies should make different versions of the shower curtains, so that when you learned the words on one, you could move on to an advanced shower curtain. Thinking about it now, that might contribute to a lot of waste though, so what if they made shower curtains with electronic message boards, like the ones at basketball games? Or! They could make a dry erase shower curtain so you could draw while you're in the shower and can write whatever you want.

What can I say? I'm a gold mine of shower curtain ideas.
