LOTR Permeates Every Aspect of Almeda's Life
At the start of Almeda's German class everyday, the class discusses a question (in German, naturally). In the past some questions have been, "Do you think students should have to say the pledge?" [Almeda quoted her ACLU 'Know Your Rights' book in response to this one], "What's your favorite movie?", and "Would you want to live in a nudist colony?" ["Nein, weil ich kalt sein würde."] Today the question was, "Are you going to see the new Lord of the Rings movie? Why do you think it is so popular?"
Almeda raised her hand and replied, "Der Film gefällt mir, weil es so viele heiße Schauspieler gibt." (Trans: The movie pleases me because there are so many hot actors.) Almeda's German teacher was quite amused, as were many other members of the class, namely Sonjalein, a.k.a. KT. Almeda is not all fun and games, though, and added, "Es ist alte Schule Phantasie. Und auch was Tobias hat gesagt." (Trans: It's old school fantasy. And also what Tobias said.) "Will Bruce, code name Tobias, said some nonsense about the richness of the book and complex histories and lots of details and stuff," explains Almeda. "I agreed with him only because I didn't want to sound totally superficial. And then we talked about LOTR for about the next ten minutes, which totally kicked. German is so much fun sometimes."
