finally, another smart post. i actually do not feel smart at all because the facebook question is still unresolved. maybe by next week’s edition that question has been answered.
so, i learned that there is a group of islands called turks and caicos islands. smart franzi thought, ok, turk something, that must be somewhere close to turkey then. aehm, no. it’s not. it’s a group of tiny islands in the west indies, sort of north of haiti just much smaller. it’s a former british territory but hey, the brits have been everywhere so that’s no real surprise.
and i also learned about the storyline in la traviata (the opera). a woman suffering from tuberculosis is torn between men, her life is being held against her and just when everything turns out picture perfect she dies. oh how operaesk. i had to look it up because i’ll go and see that opera tonight and i felt like i should learn at least something about it because i clearly won’t understand the italian.
the other stuff i learned, i forgot instantly. because that’s how i roll.
