shopping and a hilarious joke

today was another lovely day off in graz. pam and i had planned to get an early start on shopping and whatnot but annette invited us to have lunch with her so we went into town to do some grocery shopping and then had a german lesson and some lunch.

after lunch we went shopping for gifts and for annette's birthday which is tomorrow. we bought her a present and then were trying to pick out a card for her but it was hard because they were all german and then we amused ourselves with the idea of picking a card that we secretly knew was an anniversary card or something and pretending we thought it was a birthday card. for some reason we thought this would be hilarious because annette is always trying to teach us german. hilarious.

we had a nice day shopping. i bought some cheap boots cuz mine are falling apart and some legwarmers because the dance studio is so flipping cold all the time.
and later on we met up with lise and had dinner (a strange but delightful little place called mangolds where there's a buffet and you take what you want and then they weigh your plate and charge you accordingly.) and then we went to the english movie theatre and saw the heartbreak kid, or whatever the new ben stiller movie is called. it was utterly terrible but nice to hear people speaking english. pam and lise were excited to buy beer from the concession stand.

we only have one more day off before coming home. all the rest is spent rehearsing... kind of too bad. i do like days off...
