I wish to signal-boost [personal profile] truelove's post about her survey for her final project for a course. The survey, linked from that post, is about social expectations with respect to one's body and one's food and activity choices, and I understand [personal profile] truelove has not much turnaround time and is hoping for more than a handful of responses in that time.

Ugh, I need to move more boxes from upstairs to the trunk of my car. Or move my dresser drawers there instead, whichever. I don't want to get up. So tired. I need to get up for work at some point, and before that for the apartment and Lowe's because (1) the 100W-equivalent LED bulb is too physically big for the lamp I bought it for (2) I bought two 75W-equivalents and one 100, not the other way around, but the receipt says other way around and guess which one is more expensive. I just need to go back to the apartment and grab the empty light bulb boxes to prove it.

I get the distinct impression I am not working any overtime today.

Okay seriously though let me quote the paragraph from my German syllabus about "outreach activity" which is five percent of my final grade:
Each student is required to apply her or his knowledge outside of the classroom. Some potential activities would be participation in a local German Club (Stammtisch, Kaffeestunde), attending lectures, films, or concerts related to German language, meeting with a tutor, volunteering for after-school German lessons at an elementary or middle school, and many other possibilities. (Hint: there happen to be many German films on Netflix!) You will need at least four (4) hours of an activity or a combination of activities. At the end of the term (due the end of week 10), you will submit an overview and description of your activities in English via Canvas assignments.
So. Given that: there appears to be no local German club (excluding high school stuff and excluding the Dover German American Club, which hasn't updated its website since 2013 or its Facebook since April and which appears to meet or have met weekday evenings); there's probably no local German-language activities; my work schedule probably prohibits volunteering with the local high school's German club; and I am not getting Netflix:

What do?

I mean, I suppose I could acquire German-language films on DVD...

Actually, you know what I'm going to do, I'm going to Facebook the Dover German American Club and see if anyone answers. Oh! They have two Facebook pages, and the second one was just updated the other day! But they definitely do meet weekday evenings. Once a month, too. :(

This is just to test that HTML works in email posting. Does this
sentence show in italics?
And this in bold? It
should, from what I recall, but if I post this then I can point [personal profile] kaberett at it.

No, brain. Stop grabbing "¿Como se dice ___?" as the go-to for missing vocab.
