probably related to dreary

Good morning as the rain is frizzling all around. Wait, is frizzle even a word? fry or grill with a sizzling noise...actually drizzle...[light rain falling in very fine drops. probably based on Old English dreosan [to fall,] of Germanic origin; probably related to dreary.]. I digress though.

So it is another work week and all is full with rain this day and rain. My socks are wait. I always hate it when I start the day with wet socks. What can you do though? I did enjoy the weekend though. Yesterday, Michael and I cleaned the computer room and we were quite impressed with the outcome. We took many breaks so as not to wear out ourselves. So the room looks great now. We ate homemade Eggplant Parmesan while watching an episode of Noah's Arc. In one scene, Noah is trying to figure out if this guy he likes is gay (Wade) based on his apartment (i.e. cd collection, movies, books, etc.) So I begin thinking about my apartment and what I have. I have a poster of the periodic table hanging behind my desk, a display of Pixar toys on a shelf, and most of my books are geared towards mathematics and science. So what reading would I get?

What else should I mention this morning? Oh yes, I have decided to learn Latin in addition to learning Japanese and French. While riding the bus to work, I read about the verbs and the concept of aspect...a grammatical category or form that expresses the way in which time is denoted by the verb. So the perfect tense (or what is known as the past tense) is actually considered in the present timeline because as of right now the emphasis is in the fact that the action has been completed (as in he went to the store). It is fun to learn and it is yet another foray for me to continue my study of linguistics.
