I just turned on the TV to news of a building collapse not far from where I just was! Scary.
Edit: Apparently a 20-story crane fell over and crushed a building across the street. Yikes. [link]
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

While finally uploading my CDs to the new laptop, I discovered that I own a Kenny G CD. I weep for my youth and the mistakes I made.

I wish I'd never married you, you treasonous bitch!
Well, I don't think I would try a literal translation, since I don't think a French person would use that phrasing. So, assuming 1) the bitch in question is a woman, and 2) this is 18th/19th century, I would probably use either:
"Je n'aurais jamais dû épouser une traîtresse comme vous!" (I should have never married a traitor such as you!)
"Traîtresse! Je regrette amèrement de vous avoir épousée!" (Traitor! I bitterly regret having married you!)

I feel I can never again publicly admit to knowing you.

Thanks, Megan! Your gender and era assumptions are correct, BTW. Though, actually, the speaker is an Englishman arguing with his French wife, but he's fluent enough that I think he'd use a French speech pattern rather than translating an English one.

I figure, if it's for Susan, best to assume an age of sabres and cutlasses.
Also FYI, back then, I think with traitresse alone, the bitch is implied.

Dude. That's my office bar. Well, it was. One of the bar's staff may have been killed. Oh man.
