You know what's peinlich?

Fat Usher.

Peinlich means embarassing. A few weeks ago I was out at a beer tavern drinking beer and speaking a lot of german. I was telling a story that I now can't remember, but it was something that was pretty embarassing and lame for the person I was speaking about. Instead of making the face that should go with the words 'totally embarassing' I said it like I just discovered the secret of the universe, with pride and a lot of positive head nodding- Peinlich- wink wink heh heh. I am adding words to my vocabulary all the time. I always knew that Peinlich was something negative because whenever someone does something that sucks someone says 'ooohhh. Peinlich.' It's just I had never used it in a sentence before. I was so proud. Alexander saw my big win and had a little laugh. Now, I say peinlich with the happy face all the time.

Tonight I am finishing this damn Swiss Re project while watching a little TV. I mean, I don't really need to be strapped to my office to play around with creating graphics on Power Point. The Olympics is showing female figure skating (so gay) so I am watching VH1 the Fabulous Life of Usher. Ooohhh. Peinlich. They just showed about 20 minutes on how Usher's is famous for his tight body. In fact he just ripped off his shirt and pulled down his pants and announced that if you don't have this cut right here (the muscles sort of between the hip bone) you ain't nothing. He actually said that 'you ain't nothin' and did a little shake of the hand. Yeah. Look at you now though. They shouldn't be allowed to play these once the celebritites get all fat. Peinlich.
