I was without a computer for 24 hours because of a power surge last night.
The damn winds and storms caused an הפסקת חשמל שגרמה לקצר and the comp went caput.

My brother, who happens to be a programmer, claimed it needed to be fixed...
All it needed was a pull of the plug and to push it back it to do a שחבור of the system.
But I blame myself for not thinking of it.

So I'm proud of myself, I didn't go through withdrawal and got to knot a whole lot more than I initially planned.

Yay!

Maybe I just watch too much Firefly, but whenever I see anything in a language/script that I don't understand, I automatically assume that the person is swearing. Lots.

On the other hand, yay for you!

tis the secret language of the jews.
If you only knew what mundane things she actually wrote in Hebrew you would laugh.
basically "power outage that caused a surge" and "release"

I do it with Yiddish as well, but then who doesn't.

I always notice that I say "schloff" instead of "nap".
I just never say nap, even my cat when he naps, in fact schloffs.
It's funny.
I like the switching language in the middle thing, keeps people on their toes ;)

Ah, all is clear now. When I'm with my parents we always use KiSwahili words instead of English, we just swap back and forth a lot. Some things only make sense in each languague, or they're just easier to say, or just shorter.
Kinda nifty, really.

I watch Farscape and I often think the same thing :)

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
