Which course did you fail? Not Finnish, did you?

It's nice you had some time to write. Haiku is interesting, but a lot of people make a mess of it. I'd be interested to read it, to see how you adopted it

I have been good

Working a lot for school and reading, reading, reading

I had some time to lounge today though ^_^

I'll send piccies when I can. Can't resist puppy eyes, can I?

I failed no courses, just got lower grades than I thought I would. If something went badly, then it was geology.

Oh! I forgot! There's going to be a (party) meeting of us abis again. That'll be great, esp. since we'll be celebrating a girl's birthday.

Good I wasn't here when you did that. How's your Oblivion going? I'm using some 300+ mods now.

*runs back in and glomps*

yes, I am in a very energetic mood. And Noble, my dog chewed the disk, so I got to go get a new one... It doth suck mightily. Do you have OBSE? If so, teach me to use it?

I have it alright, but I wished you could teach me to use it. XD I would use deadly reflex, horse combat and enchanting unlocker. I'll try to learn, so I can teach it to you. Am busy though.

The last sane person · 03-31-2009, 02:38 PM

Lol, we learn together then. I haven't the foggiest.

You wouldn't believe how much lead was flying! My daughter turned to me and said, "What's stopping someone from just turning around and shooting people?" I said, "Nothing! But they wouldn't get too many shots off ...

"

There was a lot of security, and the gun reps walked the gun you chose to the shooting line, loaded it there, stood next to you while you shot, and took it from you at the shooting line. Still, someone certainly could have gone rogue. But hey, gotta get out and do things!

Eh, I just didn't like how the Glocks looked, and I didn't like the sight on the one I shot.

The last sane person · 03-31-2009, 10:48 PM

Well, Glocks are known for their endurance and accuracy, not beauty. Want pretty? Get a Volkman Custom 1911 or a Springfield Armory. Or a Taurus, they have some good looking and very functional models, just a subsidiary of Baretta. Hell, even work horse SigSaur has some nice designs.

But Glock... nope.

Grey_Wolf · 04-01-2009, 12:31 AM

Inspired by the song about Henry VIII.

"I'm Hector B - I am,
Hector B - I am, I am!
I've been posting on the moot long time
See, I actually got it to rhyme.
Hector, Hector!"

(Second verse, same as the first)

**Mari** · 04-01-2009, 03:55 AM

You know, I'm tempted to start singing something like "100 bottles of beer" and repeat it indefinitely...

*whacks herself* Right, planetickets. Hop to it, Mari! >_<

Well, you know, I want an elven-looking handgun ...

Pip · 04-01-2009, 05:35 AM

Wow, that sure brought up an interesting image. Just got a picture of Legolas or Elrond toting around a machine gun or something.

Ah! How noble of you! It's good to see that there are still those knightly enough to save poor old ladies from the terrors of the fatties.

I know, right? My literature teach drives me CRAZY. We spent a whole hour and a half yesterday analyzing a translation of a haiku. Not only did we analyze it based on the individual words of the translation, but on the bloody sounds of the words. Yeah everyone, I'm sure there was alliteration in the original Japanese too, right in that spot. And I'm sure the author was aware that the "k" in "drift back" makes a "hard" sound. I'm sure that was deliberate. And she totally missed the meaning of the whole haiku, that or she knew it but was just trying to see if we would guess it ourselves. Who knows, right?

**Mari** · 04-01-2009, 11:43 AM

Hehe, true. It's the same for poetry though. Fact is that even Basho's furuya ike ni has been translated so many times in so many different ways...

I translated it myself too for my thesis

I once read a literary article on haiku-clubs in Japan. Apparently there are a lot of clubs with a huge number of members, but in the more prestigious clubs, you are not allowed to even write a haiku till you have proven to be able to analyze 'good' (i.e. approved) haiku properly and possessing the right state of mind.

It's a real rank-system there...

arggg. I need to catch a bus to go home, but I'm sitting on a heater and it am warm.

Dilemma.

Willow Oran · 04-01-2009, 09:03 PM

It's raining. I'm sick, and I think I've managed to overdose on tea...

Blah.

How good of a translation was it? It's a pity you didn't have the original alongside the translation, that can be quite helpful when having to work with translated verse...
