I have suggested to my teenage daughters that we have tea in a local town when next on a shopping trip there (which we don't normally do). Why? Because when I was there recently, I discovered a delicious-looking shop with mind-blowing pastries called 'Drucker's Viennese Patisserie'!...and all because...

There's a restaurant downtown at school that I've always wanted to try. They haven't updated the daily specials on the site for a while, but look at the general menu!

I just saw a review I left for a nonTSOM fic and wrote the character's name as 'Georg' instead of 'George'.

Today my German teacher said "let's start at the very beginning" and I had to work hard to control myself

My class is currently learning about World War 1 and I realised I could identify austria and sweden on the map only because I watched tsom

Just wondering...... can one actually watch TSOM too many times? I think not. Discuss.

never!! I'm not sure about everyone else, but I prefer to watch it not too often. I feel more...affected by the movie when I revisit it after not having watched it for like, say, half a year. As in I feel this greater sense of woaaah yesss the music is just woaaah fooom YAA LAENDLER SQUEAALLLL GAZEBO MOUNTAIN YES SISTER BERTHE when I revisit it after not having watched it for a long time. (oh no, I'm not explaining myself well am I) I don't mean to say that it loses its magic if one watches it so frequently within a given period of time, just that it brings more tears and satisfaction when I haven't watched it in a long time and it becomes like a treat for me. That being said, I don't think one can ever watch TSOM TOO many times, just that I prefer not to watch it so... saturatedly... however there are certain exceptions aka laendler and gazebo scene one can never watch that too frequently and listening to the overture and the entr'acte and the finale (I'm sorry I know I'm largely incoherent here but I promise you it's just because my brain is so dead tired and I'm so sleepy) on an unrelated note, I fell sick (sick as in, confined to the bed, no school) thrice last year and every time I'd just watch TSOM and it always made me so warm and fuzzy all the time and I didn't feel so bad (you could say TSOM is one of my favourite things

The irony is, the more you watch it, the better you realise it is !

...when you are trying to repair your kid's bike puncture, as you get the new inner tube out of the box, you can't help noticing that on it is written the type of valve it bears: Schraeder...and you smile a little smile to yourself as Elsa's elegant figure instantly comes to mind...certainly makes repairing the tyre more entertaining !

Today at the end of German our teacher said "Auf Wiedersehen, adieu." Is he doing this to me on purpose???

Yes, and you should reply "Adieu to yeu and yeu and yeu..." That should make him laugh!

When you say to someone who is worried that the results of her project will be controversial, "don't worry, it would hardly be worth doing if it weren't controversial!" and your brain is going, "the Captain would hardly be a man..."

When you're teaching PE and all you think about is how silly the whistle is that you're currently blowing.

You know you have watched TSOM too many times when... you are uploading a photo onto tinypic and they make you type in stupid stuff to make sure your not a robot and watch ads that you would rather not see. They make you type "Goodbye for Now" and it makes you think of So Long Farewell and the Festival. you look up weird things about Japan and you come across a Japanese practice Hikimayu. Which makes you instantly think of The Baroness. Hikimayu is a practice the Japanese indulged in since the 8th century, in which you shave off your eyebrows and paint them back on! you hear stock thunder in a film and think it sounds just like the storm in MFT!

It may have been exactly the same soundtrack for thunder, especially if it was a 21st Century Fox film!

... when you decide to watch it dubbed with your preschooler and realise you can literally hear the actual voice and intonation of each character in every single scene. That did surprise me a little.

Oh! I've done that. Hearing Maria say spider in french it's funny. I think i'm going to get the Japanese version. Will be really cool checking that out, once i get it.

You speak French? I don't know how to say spider in French, the only words they taught me when I was taking cooking lessons were types of food. One day I'll learn. Now Japanese, that must be really funny!

My roommate grew up in France (but is Japanese, coincidentally enough) and grew up watching the French dub of the film. She's shown me bits and pieces of it and it's pretty cute to see all the actors we know and love "speaking" French. She was all excited when I played her the French songs from the soundtrack in the 50th set.

I wish I could speak another language. I took 3 years of Spanish high school and remember very little of it. My husband on the other hand picks up languages like they are nothing. He's tri-lingual, first language being Italian (He's a first generation born American. Parents are immigrants), then English, and Spanish (it's very similar to Italian). I keep hoping that he'll speak it more often so our kids would pick up on it, but the only time he speaks it is when he's talking to his parents and sisters (and he talks in English with his sisters most of the time).

buying a new cell phone case (for your new phone), because it reminds you of SOM. Even though it's more girly than what you are used to.

Now Japanese, that must be really funny! Lol! I just had to answer this as I've been learning French since I was in kindergarten. Spider=araignée I watched a bit of TSOM on a French TV channel, so it was dubbed in French. Felt a bit strange, but what really irked me was that they dubbed the singing too! I mean, the songs were translated in French and dubbed over! Going back on topic now, you know you have watched TSOM too many times when... you quote the lyrics to Climb Ev'ry Mountain in your high school graduation yearbook bio/write-up!Can't think of anymore atm, but when I do, I'll be back!
