So that you can read individual bits, and skip over what sounds dull
_{(don't say all)} and erm... yes - this is just to say I'm
gonna use Sub-headings =D



The Fall


Bang. Crash. Boom.
*swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing*
tumble
tumble
tumble

Ouch!

That was me falling down the stairs. Virtual stairs.
I live in a crummy flat.
Those were the steps inside my brain, I was on tip toes trying to
reach the top shelf of my memory and I slipped and fell backwards.
Besides the shooting pain up my spine, I should be alright.




Morn'

It is 10:19 at the moment.
I woke up at NINE my friends.... I woke up at nine because I'm waiting
for the people to come
deliver my groceries. They were meant to be here 20 minutes ago, but
apparently, until 14:00 it's okay to wait.
After then is a problem because they stop delivering and quite
frankly, I'd like to have my E100 worth of shopping HERE rather than
in some random warehouse in the middle of nowhere.

(I'll tell you about that when it actually happens)




Work is never over

I could bare this kind of waiting if I didn't have an essay to write
TODAY! for History.
Oh yes people - who said Half Term was for resting? (teachers...
bloody hypocrites) Yeah, I have to be able to purge my mind of all
irrelevant thoughts and really dig in to the beauty of
Alexander II.
Feel the sarcasm oozing out?




Lonely Nights?

I'm also plan-less for tonight. I've spent the past 4 days trying to
meet up with Doug but fate just doesn't want it to happen.
This is probably a good thing given the FLOURESCENT nature of my hair.






Technology Loves Me

Last night I also managed to KILL my camera
last night! w00p!

Okay - okay........


Big story.
_{(not quite)}

• I put my batteries charging.
  
• The light went green.
  
• Put the batteries in my camera
  
• Hooked it onto the PC
  
• It began to fizzzzzz -
  
  Yes.
  
  Fizz.
  
  The Camera began emitting the sound: fsssssssssssssssssssssss.
  
  
• and then........ the screen went CAPUT.
  
  Do you know the meaning of the word Static?
  
  

Besides that; I thought I should mention the fact that everytime my
phone is hooked up to my laptop/PC --- they both crash.




I Hate People Who Write Subtitles

First of all, the word Subtitle is a mystery in itself but besides that---

I mean - with all due respect to the people who take on that
honourable profession, but really - do you have to be a Certified
Moron to get the job?

I was watching Conan O'Brien - something I rarely watch, but it
was on, so what the hell, eh?
Anyhow - he was talking about a movie called "Raising Helen" and about
the song they play in it....

DEVO's -- Whip It

And the subtitle saaaaaaaaaid: Divo.

Okay, Okay: I'm anal. I'm picky. I'm pathetic.

But "DIVO"?
Oh. Please.

Well, check them out: Here

But now seriously forks --- the 3 most amazing translating
"mistakes" I've seen so far:

ONE:



Original: Fighter jet is going down, pilot screams MAYDAY MAYDAY

Translation: Viva o Um de Maio! Viva o Um de Maio!

In English for you non-Portuguese speaking people:
Hooray for May the 1st! Hooray for May the 1st!

Should be: SOCCORO!




TWO:



Original: Man says Bitch!

Translation: Criatura danada e preversa!

In English for you non-Portuguese speaking people:
Evil and Damned creature!

Should be: Um... good question actually. I
suppose any mild insult would do. Something like "sacana" might work,
but I'm not sure if that's only for males. But stil!!!! Evil and
damned creature?!


THREE

this one's out of Harry Potter, the book.



Original: Hagrid says Yer not still on about that, are ya?

Translation: O que? Ainda não sabiam disto, voces?

(sorry, I can't use accents on this pc.... pretend they're there)

In English for you non-Portuguese speaking people:
What? Didn't know about this yet, you?

Should be: O que, ainda continuam com essa historia?
Or something of the sort.


I think this is quite enough for now.
I'll rant about something else later.
Toodles.
