Letchworth Trip

On the way home from Jones Pond we hiked the big bend trail at Letchworth on the more primitive side of park, then headed over to the touristy side for some sight seeing. I fell asleep on the grass laying in the sun. It actually felt like summer for a moment.

Jone's Pond


(E:flacidness), (e:Joe), (e:terry) and I all went camping at Jones Pond for the weekend. We met a lot of people and had fun, I just wish the weather had been warmer or that the pool was open.

Amish Men On The Brain

I've been learning Amish German because I am into Amish guys and want to be able to speak to one someday in his native language so that I can use it to my advantage.

One thing that was interesting is they don't use umlauts so twelve, which is zwölf in German, is zwelf in Amish German. Zwelf makes so much more sense than zwölf because eleven is elf in both languages and twelve is the zwei/zwee (2) version of elf. How did it become zwölf in hochdeutsch. Was elf formerly ölf. Who invented umlauts. Clearly the world is easier without them so why would anyone add them.

Then I started to think why does the 10-19 series even exist as discreet numbers in those language or english. Should they be onety, onety-one, onety-two, etc in English. Einzig, win and einzig in German etc.

In German and Amish you say the numbers after 20 with the second number first. The equivalent of nine and twenty for 29. It seems weird but then we do the same thing for the ontey range. Like nine teen. Shouldn't it at least be teenty nine.

English: Amish: german
Good Morning: Guder Mariye : Guten Morgen
Good Day : Guder Daag : Guten Tag
Good Afternoon : Guder Nummidaag : Guten Nachmittag
Good Evening : Guder Owen : Guten Abend
Good Night : Gudi Nacht : Gute Nacht
See You Later : sehn dich schpeeder : sehe dich später

I'm fascinated with German language dialects. Like in Texas the Germans that settled there have their own German that's also distinct from hochdeutsch

As a side note I am in love with Doug. Here you can see him teaching how to say that someone is buying an iPad in Amish. How on earth did he come up with that that example?

Dinner at Mothers - My Mexican Day


After the Of Montreal show we headed to Mothers on Virginia for dinner. I had the little neck clams with chorizo. This matches the chorizo taco I had at lloyds for lunch making it the most Mexican day I ever had.

Of Montreal


We headed down to The Town Ballroom to see Of Montreal. To be honest I never heard of them before but the music was awesome and (e:Joe) and (e:terry) kept grinding me up against some strangers butt which was fun in its own way, lol.

Ericas Concert


I am so behind on posting. The weekend of the Linwood home tour we went to GI see (e:czarkasm) sing at the Forum in Amherst. She was awesome. We even dragged my mom along after the home tour. The place was so weird. I don't think I ever partied in a strip mall bar before. The bar was set up like an Irish bar and library combined. In fact the half we were in was called The Library.
