Shiny!
Being a student of the medieval period myself, I have had a chance to study several older versions of modern languages...not to say I can speak or read them with anything approaching fluency, it's mostly been pattern recognition and noticing how words evolve. That, and how Latin neatly ties several of the languages together. I have self-studied Latin, but it was more of a pursuit than anything...mostly so I had a better understanding of the occasional Latin I came across in my studies. Apparently some of it took, because I can usually work out the gist of a phrase in Latin without too much difficulty.

I also self-studied Irish Gaelic ("Teach Yourself" series), but never got around to serious study. Nowadays, I pick up interesting tidbits in other languages to add to my repetoire.

It's a real hit at parties!

Cybersnark, these Celtic pop songs you speak of...where did you find them, if I may ask?

Mattie, thank you for not judging!

That was my one major stumbling block...trying to build sentence structure in French rather than English...grr! Oh, and tenses...always messed those up!
Merci, mademoiselle!

I have a difficult time with conjugations in the passe compose and futur. Aargh! I can never keep them straight. And then you have to know which ones have take etre. Yeah, I also struggle with all of the du's and du la's. Most of the time I just say what makes sense to me, and then bear the correction from either my dad, or the person I'm speaking to. Haha! Ohh, I'm almost hopeless.

I have nothing to say. I'm bored out of my skull.

Now that we've watched Buster Keaton (was it this floor or the Nook? I get them confused) I'm in the mood for Benny & Joon.

Benny and June i'm up for, followed by Whats Eating Gilbert Grape (the only movie i've ever liked that blond bloke in) but i think it was in the Nook. It was so I didn't have to get chocolaty.

Benny and Joon is a good movie! Have you ever seen the movie Dear Frankie? Fan-tastic! If you think Gerard Butler makes a HOT Phantom of the Opera, you should see this movie. Ahh!
I'm sorry you're bored! But you're at work, right? At least you're getting paid to be bored.

I got 'em through Filesharing Revolution, so they're probably drifting about the P2P web as we speak.

"Rithill Aill" by Karen Matheson
"Lain Ghllinn'cuaich" by Capercaillie
"A Neansai Mhile Gra" by Cherish the Ladies

(By "pop" I mean "catchy beat, modern instruments," they both sound fairly folky [like someone took traditional ballads and backed them with modern instruments], though "Rithill Aill" has a danceable beat.)

Fans of Celtic music would be well-served to google the Afro-Celt Sound System --they're an African/Celtic fusion band. At least three CDs out ('cause that's the number I have). Really cool sound (and one of the disks has a CD-ROM "mix your own beats" DJ setup).

replying to Serenity's earliers post -

yes i have read Good Omens, funny funny book, need to read it again actually. I used to be a huge Pratchett fan, so gave it a go, now I'm a huge Gaiman fan as well!

And that wasn't quite the senario I had in my head, but yours is better, can you imagine how funny The Omen would have been had his parents been total hicks? I would go and see that film.

oh thats so pretty (the cat eyes thing) it reminds me of my cat when the mornings are still dark, sitting on my chest and waiting for me to wake up and feed her (cept she has something wrong with her jaw, so both of her canines stick out, so you'd have to add little floating vampire teeth to it)

can I steal? Can I? Oh please please?!?

I get it, you're going to steal their gems, jewels, and other assorted baubles while they are all laughing uncontrollably about your piddly little water pistol.

No? Hun you have got to get more waterpower!

*hands Mai the latest in commercially available watergun technology*

It's got better range and has a lot more water than your little pistol.

I love the stitching on the shirt shoulders. Have you ever noticed? It has a seer sucker kind of thing going on. I assume it's quite handy for ease of movement.

Okay, that was really girly, sorry.

Also: Why are you wearing a mask? Were you burned by acid or something?

I thought it looked more like an open-weave monk's-cloth type...cloth...for that portion of the sleeve. Very handy for movement, especially sword-fighting!

And: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.
