In need of inspiration

Not even halfway through NaBloPoMo, and I’m already feeling drained. Life is just not that exciting right now (when has it EVER been?), I guess, so I need some blog fodder.

I’m usually pretty jealous when someone tells me they’re learning a new language. I took conversational French when I was about 5 or 6 (don’t ask me how that came about – my family is thisclose to being hillbillies), and then again in high school, but I can’t remember more than a few words. So, when one of the guys at work mentioned today that he’s learning a new language, I thought “That’s cool… I should do that.” And then he told me he’s learning Yiddish. Hmm. Nothing wrong with that, just not sure I’d be able to put it to practical use. It’s not like I could use it to communicate with coworkers in Switzerland or Shanghai… I wonder how shmegege translates in Mandarin?
