An interesting article about some of the more vulgar translation mistakes that crop up in Chinese to English conversions. You know, things like "The shrimp f***s to fry the cabbage" or "F*** the ginger water". http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/005195.html

I cleaned, reassembled, and played with my black Model M a bit. ( Here's a review. )

I drove out to Woodman's with No-LJ-James last night on the spur of the moment. I got spinach pierogies to have for lunch. Mmmm! He was going to buy wine, but in Wisconsin we are moral, not like those people he goes to school with in Michigan! So of course, it was too late for the section of the store with alcohol to be open. How debauched, thinking he could buy wine at night!

So instead, we went to Best Buy where he bought Casino Royale. When we got back to my parents' house, after he showed my parents and I a really vulgar Star Trek TNG rap on Youtube, we watched the movie. The whole thing. That's a really long movie. *woofs*

I had been ready and willing to lay down the cash for Hot Fuzz at Best Buy so akreaveter, who has never seen it, could experience the wonder. Alas, they did not have it in stock. In fact, the movie selection there was disappointing. I guess the Kenosha Best Buy is kind of small in comparison to others.

Tonight I am taking Moira out for some yummy food. Raccoons like sushi, I hear.
