When Austrians Invade....

Take cover! Take your Chocolate Fondue lotion and your Gilmore Girls DVDs and run for cover! The family is in town!

Yes, it is true. My Austrian family (my grandma and two cousins) has arrived, and Nikki and I are hiding down here in my room because we don't speak German and no one understands us. My mother, who doesn't speak German either, is in Pretend-to-be-German mode, where she just pronounces english words with a German accent, expecting the family to understand her. And my dad...well...he gets pretty mixed up in translation. He could be carrying on two conversations at once, one with me and one with my grandma, and all of a sudden he turns to me and starts talking in rapidfire German, and it isn't until either a) he realizes that I don't understand a word he's saying, or b) I smack him over the head with something heavy, ie. a boob-shaped purse belonging to my sister or a bottle of lotion, does he revert to english. It is particularly interesting when he just blends English and German together haphazardly, so that no one knows what he's talking about. Trust me...he did that all of the time we were in Europe two summers ago...it gets old, although it's hilarity remains.

In other news...Nikki and I went shopping today...sigh. Ah the excellence. Yeah Gilmore Girls DVDs...we haven't gotten to sit down and watch them yet, but...well, it goes without saying that we will know every episode by heart one day, just as we do Boy Meets World.

Well, that's all for tonight. Gilmore Girls calls my name...oh, and everyone, we have a guest entry for tonight. It is....Nicoletta Picolletta Nicolleta Nue, my darling dearest delightfully delish sister. Enjoy.

Peace, love, and Creme Brulee.
