Eine sehr schlecter Tag.
Ich hatte die Zeit und die Werkzeug fur meinem
Komposition fertig zu macher—aber, kein hilfen
“burned me up.”

REFLECTIONS
I appear to be upset today, in German.
TRANSLATION ATTEMPT
A very bad
day.
(schlect
– thought
it meant bad
but the
dictionary can’t find the word)
I have the time and the tools
(werkzeug) to finish
my composition—but no help, “burned me up.”
In the evening, I again saw four short Buster Keaton
films. Always good.
END TRANSLATION
No
time to finish my composition. It sounds
like I was complaining that there is too much yet to
do on my composition, but I’m not getting time to
finish it. I can only guess. I’m not sure what “help”
I was expecting.
More
Buster. Four more
short Buster Keaton films. I remember this Buster
Keaton film festival in the evenings. Everyone
laughing. Visual humor is universal. Laughter is
universal. Joy and fun is universal.
