GIP

[przed]

No new words on the Pros story yesterday, owing to my attendance at the not-so-relaxing meditation class. (All those irritating people who talk in movie theatres? Apparently they decided to take the same meditation class that I did.)

No new words today, either, since it was Mandarin class tonight.

But I did make a new Pros icon. Does that count? No, I thought not.

Sigh.

People talking in meditation class? Sheesh. Makes you wonder what they're like the rest of the time.

Then again, maybe not.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I know what they're like the rest of the time. ::grits teeth::

*passes you aesc's SMITE button* Use it in good health!

Hmm, maybe I need my own smite button...

I want the flip-top ejector seat button, like James Bond had in his stick-shift for Goldfinger. Only, without the car.

Can you eject someone from the planet? 'Cause that would be awesome. (If not very Buddha-like. Bad Pauline.)

[faramir-boromir.livejournal.com]

That's EXACTLY what I'm thinking. I want an escape-velocity ejector seat button. *pines*

Clearly, we were somehow separated at birth. Or at least switched brains.
But.. but... that's the icon that I just made! Well, but fancier... *g*

I must confess, my icon was inspired jointly by your icon (hey, I'd love an icon with that pic) and having just seen Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (Val Kilmer as a gay private eye, yum).

Oh, are you taking Mandarin? I've been learning a couple of words, and I was thinking it would be a fun language to study when I retire from the U! The kanji is daunting, but hey, if you're studying, we could exchange greetings at Media West! LOL!

Yep, Don and I are both taking Mandarin. It's fun, but I greatly prefer Cantonese. (More tones, but fewer wacky sounds.)

Kanji is actually the Japanese name for the Chinese writing system. The Chinese just call them characters or calligraphy. I actually don't find it too bad, though I know a fair number of characters already from studying Cantonese.

As for exchanging greetings at MW, not until 2007. :( That's when I'll be back, if all goes well.
