Day 20, October 13th
Work passed easily enough today. After work, Kujtesa wanted to take a look at something in a big electronics story, so we headed there. They have each game console set up and for the Xbox 360, had the new game Just Dance 3 displayed and available for people to play â well, dance.
I have never really danced before in my life. Still, I had the urge to give it a try, but not alone. It took me five minutes to convince Kujtesa, as she worried about people watching us. I finally convinced her though, and we decided to play.
We ended up doing five songs.
Wow. That game asks for a lot from the players. Those five songs exhausted me and made me crave my bed. Of course, I had to travel half an hour to the apartment and by the time I made it there, the fatigue had faded to the back of my mind.
Good game. I might get it or one of its predecessors; I need the exercise!
I took the day off from writing, just to relax after writing so much these past few days. I did reread what I wrote and make small edits; I always give my writings a once-over. Nothing major: Just small details that bug me when I read it. Extensive editing comes later.
Day 21, October 14th
No writing done today. Work until 17:30, back at the apartment at 18:00. Right now, it’s 20:00 and in half an hour, Melanie and I are heading off. First off, dinner at McDonald’s, followed by checking out the new The Three Musketeers movie. I’m going to assume in French.
English: Awesome.
French: I’ll live.
Worst case scenario, I’ll watch it in English some other time. It’s not really that much of a bother, plus, watching it in French will help my language skills a bit, even if it’s just a little.
You’ll have to wait and see how it turned out, since the movie is at 22:30 and we’ll return after midnight, probably around 01:00. That counts as tomorrow, so perhaps a mini-review will be in order for tomorrow’s blog!
As for tomorrow, Melanie and I will head off to what is supposedly a huge mall. Maybe I’ll find something interesting? We’ll see.
I’ll let you all know tomorrow; have a nice weekend!

It was nice to browse a little bit through your blog. Where are you in France? Will go myself on Monday to Menton for 2 months.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. As for where I am, the city’s called Nantes. It’s pretty much in the far west of France.

I’ve never played any of the dancing games. They look fun, if you like that sort of thing. đ One of my friends is ridiculously good at Dance Dance Revolution (DDR), and it’s pretty awesome to watch him play/dance! I hope the movie is great, even if it’s in French, and your trip to the mall is full of exciting discoveries!

This game is really good for exercise. I can’t vouch for DDR as I’ve never played it; it doesn’t seem it would be quite as much fun.
