Feuerzangenbowle

The name of this post is also the name of a drink I had last night, Feuerzangenbowle. It's very weird, and it's entertaining to watch when the sugar is burning (look at the link and you'll understand). It was essentially mulled wine, so it was awesome!!! Although I think it was a lot stronger than mulled wine, cos there was loads of rum in it. Aaanyway... I made some friends last night, woooop. However, I'm moving out tomorrow, so I probably won't seem them again.

So... I'm still reading that linguistics book. Apparently there's a really obscure literary structure in French: "aller + present participle". Still don't really know what it means... And I've also become interested in something called aspect. It's like the difference between "I do" and "I am doing". I find it interesting, although, as we've already discussed, I'm a nerd.

I've been watching a lot of That Mitchell and Webb Look and Peep Show (the former being my favourite) - I must really be in a David Mitchell mood at the moment.

I don't really have anything funny to say, except something that I found funny that I read in the paper. It's the funniest thing I can remember reading in the FT since Nicolas Sarkozy's words to Gordon Brown:

You know, Gordon, I should not like you. You are Scottish, we have nothing in common and you are an economist. But somehow, Gordon, I love you ... But not in a sexual way.

But yes, it's the fact that Dominique de Villepin (former French prime minister) has been cleared of involvement in a smear campaign against Sarkozy. Sarkozy was awarded money for damages. €1. Not really the funniest thing in the world, but it made me chuckle.

Nothing else to report really, except that it's snowing quite hard in Zurich... Wooo!!! There's been lots of snow here, as one might expect.
