best wishes to you Ashe
in german we would say: keep your ears stiff
So big that sitting close to it gave me motion sickness.Well, just be careful. Your PS3 might want to become a Rogue State. ~runs for my life~It's already moving to take over the rest of the house after a bloody coup of the living room. Ask Shiny about the MASSIVE TV it's running on now.
Change "close to" to "on," and you have a near verbatim quote from a girlfriend of mine (as in friend who happens to be a girl, not the even better kind) about her washing machine.
.....?
Which, frankly, sucks ass.
Y'know, since when they removed the law that made homosexuality illegal (in Sweden), they forgot that the same law also included the ban on bestiality. Which meant that for quite a long while, sucking ass was perfectly legal around here. Boy were our faces red when we discovered that.

Hmm... my mind seems unusually filthy tonight. Gonna see if some tea helps with that.
Sorry the stomach pain is continuing. :(
Don't mind me, I just needed to vent a little. I'll feel better soon enough. I have an excel test tomorrow so once I finish that I'm done with computers class for the week and no homework so at least I have tomorrow afternoon to look forward to. :)
Tea didn't work. Ginger ale's not doing much either. Let's hope the PureCalm that's on its way will be better.
It's a normal part of life, but it still sucks big time. Hope it helps you.

So, next piece of news I'm waiting on:
Cross your fingers we get someone to rent our apartment in LA. So far, no luck (we've been advertising it for about a week and a half). Apartments in this area are in demand, so we're hopeful. We're offering a move-in credit.
It's not a sublet - in CA, if you can find a new tenant willing to rent your apartment, the landlord has to allow you to do so and let you out of your lease, because financially it's all the same to them.
Thanks for hugs and tea. :)
Good luck finding a new renter for your apartment CH.
Just to let everyone know, I over-slept today. I got a new credit card yesterday too. So my moving expenses are covered when I hit Chicago and Indiana this Summer. Know all I need to do is save some cash. Wahoo! I'm a moving son-of-a-gun.
The weirdest effect of having a workmate from Pakistan has to be that my internal voice now sounds like Apu whenever I'm thinking in English.
The most annoying thing about staying up so I can go food-shopping before sleeping - the way my eyelid keeps twitching. It's like I'm turning into one of the cheesier Bond-villains.
Yup. I'm just glad it's not affecting my actual accent. That could get a bit awkward, methinks.

Yeah, he might think poorly of it.
Now you have me wondering about accents. Do people dream accented? I guess I always "think" in English, my French being so poor, I have to think hard to remember words.
Do American accents sound weird to you? Just regional ones? Are some of them hard to understand? Have you heard many other than the two or three used in Hollywood movies?
Not really, we get a lot of American TV-shows and movies (including independent ones) on TV in Sweden, and these days our news cover the American presidential elections almost as closely as our own. (Plus, SAAB, which used to be the main employer in my town, used to be owned by GM - so I've even had American neighbours for a bit. That said, I remember someone with a really broad "southern" accent being interviewed once and being surprised someone actually spoke like that in the real world.
Edit: Strangely enough (or not so strangely when you sit down and think about it), the version of English that sounds most natural to me, are the dialects spoken in Scotland and northern England.
Not that I've noticed so far - although I recall a feature Swedish Radio did about the Fugees, back in the day, where one of their roadies spoke in some half-creole, half-cajun accent - that was bleeding impossible to understand.
Not that many more, although listening to podcasts has certainly widened the range. I'm still better at differentiating British accents, though - a side effect of growing up in a home where the two main forms of cultural discussions were about soccer and pop-music. ;)

Good morning to all my fellow FAWTLY Folk! Hope everything's going well, and if it isn't - POSITIVE WAVES!!!
Heard back from my POC on the ship yesterday evening, and she let me know that the paperwork I needed has gone through. Hopefully that'll clear the way for us to work this Saturday and Sunday, getting us back on track to finish on time.
So tired. ER no fun at 2am.
But at least I know Riley bug is ok. Just a viral fever. *sigh*
Sorry to hear about the ER visit. Glad RIley is okay and not seriously ill. Hope he feels better soon.
I'm feeling quite a bit better today. Went to bed early last night and a lot of my symptoms have decreased since yesterday. Already done with my exam and now I can go home and relax a little before I have to tackle the housework. :)
Solnes, I'm glad to hear your little one is okay. Lynora, I'm glad you are feeling better today.
Whee driving to Houston for the wife's interview. >.<
I should have interviewed my wife better... ;P

2 hours of garden work did wonders for my mood after a escpecally grappy day at work

um, well, to tell the truth, I did not even know that there are american accents beside "southern"
to my defence, films and tv shows are usually dubbed here. I do watch films on DVD in english but never noticed a accent pattern (beside ambigious south)i can at least distinguish American, English, Scottish and Irsh

I didn't know you were moving. What's the ultimate destination?
