Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If you have a moment (or a few minutes) for some pretty impressive cultural whiplash: [link]. I can't think of a more thorough "It's not about you."
I keep having the really wrong impression I can multitask while listening to him. Yes, he speaks five languages. *I* don't. So once I flip to another screen, I can't follow him. But I've tried it twice now in five minutes.
Seriously. I never look at the screen for that consistently long without a Winchester on it. Bully for him.
And, considering the cultural gulf, fairly entertaining. We're all the same! Except completely different!

I was totally entertained. Because, yeah, all the same but so very different. The way he'd just merge from one language to another was lovely too.
Except I really did keep thinking I understood Arabic and clicked away to check a progress bar on another screen. All of the sudden I have delusions that I am Antonio Banderas in 13th Warrior and instantly am fluent in other languages.
Anyone have suggestions on what I can do about the car alarm going off for two days, next door? It's on private property, so the police say all they can do is ticket it. I left a voicemail for the apartment management company, but I'm sure they won't get it until Monday. Don't know why the building residents aren't up in arms, but omg I am going insane.
Ugh. I mean, get it ticketed but can they ensure that it's actually a resident's car?
No idea. It's parked in a resident spot. (If it were on the street I might be able to get it towed!)
This may be completely untrue, but I heard the alarm goes off once the car is tilted to a certain angle -- such as would happen when being towed.
Cassiepants, can she shut this thing up with some black clothing and a jack under the front bumper?
Timelies all!
Nova is in my lap, as usual, tenderizing my bathrobe.
Devi~ma.
Yeah, that car thing would make me nuts.
Two days? By that point I'd be considering solutions like building a fire on a skateboard and rolling it under the car's engine.
