Pyzy
So far, the Duck's summer plans are as follows:
1) Undergo wisdom-teeth-removal surgery
2) Learn French
3) Translate things!!! (happy dance)
Alas, this still leaves a lot of spare time just begging to be killed. The Duck spent her first two weeks of spare time at home sitting on her tail feathers playing random Net games and/or whining about how the weather is better in Iceland. But not any more. She has made a list, otherwise known as the Blue Duck Summer Plot list, of some of the ways she intends to kill her summer. Suggestions are VERY welcome.
Here goes:
1) Learn Nuuchahnulth
2) And the Hungarian Bottle-on-Head Dance
3) And how to write Cyrillic
4) Take a ride on the Prairie Dog Express
5) Go to B.C. and/or Komarno, Manitoba (home of the World's Largest Mosquito!)
6) Take lots of pictures
7) Organize existing pictures
8) Finish lopi sweater (ha ha)
9) Stop eating unhealthy sugar that is turning Little Blue into Not-So-Little Blue and spend rest of live on diet of lettuce and alfalfa sprouts (ha HA HAHA)
And for anyone still reading, Little Blue Duck will reward you with the Ultimate Hangman/Scrabble Word:
Yes.. Pyzy! Which seems to mean Polish potato dumplings, according to the package Little Blue and her duck-sister-in-crime found in an Italian store discount bin. Bah, who cares what it means - it's just such a beautiful word! Alas, it is also completely unpronouncable word (unless of course one is Polish and thus desensitized to unpronouncability), which is probably why Duck's sister duck has taken to calling it peawhyzedwhy when she speaks of it.

When are you going to finish that Icelandic tradiational hat you started making out of this *reeeeeally* thin black yarn with this toothpick-thick needles? Isn't that a project for summer break? You could wear it when getting back to Iceland and surprise veryone!
Well... I thought about it.
Then I thought about my sanity.
My sanity won out.
Actually, I just might have to finish it - I just found out that in return for my secret folk-dancing skills I can go to a Scandinavian Festival (in Fargo of Fargo movie fame!!) and the theme is Icelandic. And I will need a costume. Bah, who cares about sanity anyway? Now all I need to do is to find the pattern...
