Happy Birthday to my sweetie!
Also, and completely unrelatedly, does anyone here speak Arabic, or have otherwise an opinion on the best way to go about acquiring a smattering? I'm going to email Fay as well.
My friend J. spent his first two years in the US Army learning Arabic and then the rest of his time as a translator. I can put you in touch with him if you'd like? He's a great guy.
Last night Leif decided, with encouragement from his sister, that trying to throw a large rock over the car would be a good idea. We're replacing the windshield today.
Oh...oh dear. Gud, that sucks, but I'm kind of giggling. I'm sorry, it's just...oh dear.
I think you need to channel his energies in a useful apprenticeship - say building demolition.
Right now I think he want to be a robotics engineer. Yeah, it's a bit ominous.
Eesh, Gud. My brother and I were responsible for a lot of broken glass. It got to the point that when we'd call the glass store, we didn't even have to give dimensions. We were on file. (The southwest corner of the house was all windows. And along the driveway where we played all sorts of ball games.)
An outline of fair use as it may apply to the Harry Potter Lexicon case, from...MTV. No, seriously.
Since expert witnesses are scheduled to testify today, no one's expected to cry on the stand.
t sigh
I can put you in touch with him if you'd like?
Mostly, I'm just looking for recommendations for DIY language packages or books. I'm working on the alphabet now, which is... interesting. But heck, I learned the Cyrillic alphabet, I can learn this one! Right?
Right now I think he want to be a robotics engineer. Yeah, it's a bit ominous.
Indeed, especially since it doesn't preclude building demolition as a speciality.
You could get him that cool FUBAR tool and...no, on second thought that's probably not a good idea.
lisa - you are absolutely right about the @@ boys club.
I am going to eat outside today and knit - WHEE!
