Life in General

[xifeng]

First, a happy belated birthday to syrahsmile!

This is, like, a fabulous weekend. I've done nothing whatsoever except be unproductive. Oh, and I read. And I went to the Book Broker and bought an entire stack of YA Poo, because I've read all the Poo I already have. Apparently I hit the motherlode of Sweet Dreams and Merivale Mall books. Anyone who needs to laugh at me for being a fag and collecting teen girl books from the '80s can do so now.

The weather's been fabulous. It's down to the mid-70s during the day, and it hits the 50s and 60s at night. Plus, the Evil Humidity is gone. YAY. Though it is kind of sad to see that it's nearly dark at 7:30 at night.

Made world-famous Shrimp Thing for Mom for dinner today. There's a red version (shrimp, tomatoes, and red wine being the key ingredients) and a white version (shrimp, cream, and white wine being the key ingredients), but I'd like to do a green version with pesto. :9

Not much else to report. H wrote, so I'm in the process of writing back. I know I owe people e-mail and comments and whatnot, and hope to get to that tonight. ♥

Well. What did you expect me to do, really?

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Well, I expected you to spell "laughs" correctly for one thing.

I mean, I don't know. I wouldn't expect anything less of you, Cat. ^_-

But "laug" is a word a lot more Punk! than the simple version "laugh", which is, like, totally from yesteryears, y'knowwhatI'msayin'? Get down with the k00l kidz, yo, an' yur momma. Word out, dawg.

HeyHEY, don't be slamming my subculture, yo.

Besides, if you're going for the full illiterate effect, it should probably be "laff". Or, God forbid, "laf".

You mean something like that? Boo-yah! Word out, y'all!

And now I've run out of slang to use. Hmm, better British it up a bit then. Pull the other one, it's got bells on it, and I rather think I'll be going to Harrods for a cuppa, and what's all this then? Dear, oh dear.

Dear Lord, Cat, my eyes fell out and bounced around for a little bit before self-destructing. OMG LAWSUIT!!!!1111

Do you know any German slang? You could go to town with that, too!

[forgottensanity.livejournal.com]

German slang? I dunno ... I don't know German well enough to get the slang down, but I could give it a go. Ahem.

Ach, du Lieber! Das geht doch nicht was du da machst. Du bist blöd und niemand liebe dich. Verschwindet ins See mit dir.

Well, I haven't used any German in four or so years, so I'm rather rusty. ^_^ I understand it better than I speak it. And don't ask how many of those German words I actually spelled correctly. But still: Whoa, multilingual cat!

Parlo un poco italiano, ma non parlo bene, e voglio mio letto caldo perche sono stanco.

Cats rule. =P

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Well, the German all looks correct to me. Go Cat go!

Ya znayu russkii yazyk malo, no ne ochen' khorosho, potomu chto eto moi tretyi yazyk. Tozhe, ya uchilas' russkii yazyk kogda ya byla v universitete v 2000em godu--kogda ya uchilas' klassicheski spetsialnost', ya ne mogla uchit'sya russkii yazyk.

PH33R my transliteration skills.

*ph33rs Lee's transliteration skills*

I got Russian, classics, university and possibly something about three Yodas and chloroform and many ugly boils. I am possibly a little iffy about the last part, but it sounds about right.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Well, you got the Russian, classics, and university bits right. However, it was three flying monkeys, not three Yodas.
