sleep wake sleep wake sleep wake or something like that

Flopped into bed around 8:00, slept til 9, woke up briefly, fell back asleep til 10:30, woke briefly, slept again til a little after 1, had a longer being awake til after 3, woke around 4:30, fell back asleep til 5:30, woke up, fell back asleep and the alarm went off at 6.

Some moderately bad nightmares early on, just strange dreams the rest of the way. I can remember some of the later ones, dreamed I went with my sister and niece to a meetup of diabetics that were in Type 1 diabetes circle on Google+. Sister and niece are not diabetic, but they went along.

One of the diabetics began singing and suddenly I realized he was singing in French. I went over to ask him how did he learn French and he along with someone sitting next to him were speaking French to me.

Then the meeting was ended and I tried to find my way back through the city streets which also went through various restaurants and clubs. At one of the clubs, I was blamed as being the one who spiked this big guy’s drink and he came after me. I saw him coming and calmly slammed my right fist into his nose and dropped him. Then I tried to find my way to the car again, but was lost in the maze of streets and restaurants.

Finally the alarm went off.

It’s no wonder I’m not exactly feeling rested with these dreams. That was one of the least intense ones.

Searching for a few coconuts for a meeting

This is nothing profound or important. It just amuses me. I did a Pimsleur lesson in the car this morning and part of it was a dialogue about a guy trying to find his notes. A few notes, which in French is quelques notes.

It comes out sounding rather like coconuts. Je cherche quelques notes. I’m looking for a few notes. I’m looking for coconuts. Have you seen some coconuts? I have some notes for the meeting. I have some coconuts for the meeting.

More seriously, I’m beginning to appreciate more and more the quality of the lessons in Assimil NFwE. It’s funny how I didn’t notice so much how often things would be repeated in subsequent lessons. I mean, I had noticed it, but now it’s more apparent. Perhaps because my overall comprehension is a lot better? I don’t know.

J’ai une cicatrice sur le poignet droite.

Il n’y a que la nuit.

Je me suis lavé la poitrine, je me suis lavé les jambes, les cuisses, les hanches, les bras, les épaules, le visage, dans le bain. Je me suis rasé aussi ce matin.

Ça fait longtemps que j’écris en français. Pas que j’écrivais beacoup, euh, je ne sais pas en dire en français. Comment on dit anyhow?

D’accord. Peut-être ça suffit.

Une certaine personne, elle me manque. Je n’ai personne pour converser. Vraiment. Personne. Il y a une conversation dans la tete, mais ce n’est que moi.

Est-ce que je suis heureux? Euh, non. Est-ce que je suis malheureux? Non. Je ne sais pas ce que je suis. Je suis, au moins.

J’ai vu un oiseau nouveau hier soir. Un goldfinch en anglais.
