Have just spent the last two plus hours doing Mandarin homework. And have realized that I now know enough to say "Say hello to my little friend" in pidgin Mandarin. (Shuo ni hao wo xiao peng you, in case you're interested.)

Wonder how long it'll be before I figure out "Go ahead, make my day"?

Clearly my brain has entered the twilight zone and it's time I crashed.

*obeys you in Russian* Stravstvoiture, malyinki droog.

Or summat like that. "Go ahead, make my day" I don't know, but I did know enough to understand what the Bosnian dudes were saying in "The Chief" the other day. Well, some of it. Well, the "slooshet" thing. ("Listen!") I knew there was a reason for putting myself through this hell. You have an even better one though, I think - go you!

*eyes the twilight*

malyinki droog I like it. I must start using that.

Hey, I just watched the Chief ep with the Bosnians last week. Quite good, although again there just wasn't enough Martin in it.

(I just got to the part in Operation Daybreak where Karol narks on the others. Silly, silly boy.)

I bow before your greatness.

How do you find time for all of this stuff and all the marvellous fandom stuff too and everything else? You're amazing. Sincerely.

Amazing? No. Obsessive compulsive and sleep deprived? Much nearer the mark.

Besides, your band stuff is pretty darn amazing too.

Well, whatever "madness" inspires your genius, I for one am grateful. In a funny kind of way.

Do you know how good your comment made me feel this morning? Although I wouldn't say amazing either. More... time-consumingly mental/downright insane!

Yep, that sounds familiar. *g*

That's impressive. Reminds me of my friend Paul in university who learned how to say PINHEAD in several dozen languages despite the fact that most languages didn't have such a word.

Now if you learn to say "We don't need no stinking badges" in Mandarin give me a call.

I'll get right on that badges quote.

In the meantime, Don is concentrating on sentences involving tea. (Wo xihuan he cha. I like to drink tea.)
