I'd soooo join coffeeholics anon.

and Fredi, I agree that starbucks coffee isn't that good, but you should try the Serena Organic blend. VERY smooth.

Plus, i get everything at Starbucks free.

And I'm VERY good, and lay off the caffeine when I'm actually doing a show....but right now, there's just SO much schoolwork, that coffee is vital.

That is soo not right.. I have been waiting for that to come out well since the first movie was in theatres.. I'm such a LOTR geek.. I've loved those books since 2nd grade..

According to Babelfish on Altavista, Fredi just said this:

"Ca does anything - does not think of Ca of future... when I am really creve - j'ai kidney sense d'humor..."

tiff - i don't wish to be rude to those who don't parle francais so I will answer in english

but we can practice in pm's - it's good for me to write it - that was always my weakest point.

I lived in France (btw "en France" is correct) for 18 months - 6 in Nice and a year in Paris. Absolutely LOVED it... also where I got my love of the world's greatest coffee *sighs*

::dreams wistfully of gimungous bowl-like cup of cafe au lait made to heavenly perfection::

I also speak some spanish (read a little - write none) but would like to improve - worked in Mexico for 3 months and was doing well but that was a looooooonnnnng time ago.

And a small amount of German as well.

I've always been fascinated by languages. To me, there were like learning new music ....

You get your Starbucks free?? What gives? I've got friends who are baristas here and they only get 40% off! (Hey, is it true that the beans are over-roasted so it loses a lot of the caffeine? I know it's overpriced, but I'm addicted to the caramel macchiatos with long espresso and light whipped. Oh god....)


So I was doing working on Chronicles of Riddick - oops, let's call it "Unnamed Vin Diesel movie". *cough* It was my first day on the set, and there was a HUGE turnover because it was behind schedule and the hours were long and it was all studio and people were getting antsy. So, my first day, I feel like I need to prove myself. And they have these "necromongers", who are like, some futuristic soldier folks (and, as I alluded to before, many of them were pompous, pretentious Asshole extras - but that's a whole other story). They're all wearing scaly black costumes and helmets.

So I see one nibbling at the cast/crew table by himself and I prompty march over there to boot him on his merry way back to extras holding.

Me: Excuse me. This table here is only for cast and crew. And I don't think the stars are going to like it much if the extras have finished all their food. You've got craftie on the other end.
Him: Uh, are you new?
Me: Does it matter?
Him: Have we met?
Me: Nope.
Him: Hi, I'm Karl Urban.
Me: Great. I'm Tiffany ___.
Him: Can I check your call sheet for a minute?
Me: *shrug* Sure.
Him: Oh good, I'm still on there.
Me: What?
Vin: (coming up from behind) Yo Karl. Dave (the director) wants to show us something.
Karl: Nice to meet you, Tiffany.
Me: *putting a gun to my head*

I totally agree, Fredi. I definitely need to brush up. My reading comprehension's pretty good, but my speaking and writing are getting weaker by the day. esp not good when I'm working the federal job either. (Quebecois are not amused when the "fed officers" aren't completely fluent.)

I love babelfish. For hours of amusement, type something in, translate it into another language, and then back into english.
Example:

Shub, your sig becomes:
4 prikhodil to the conclusion that one worthless person are caused by
disgrace, that 2 are caused yuridicheskayaa firm, and that 3 or more
greatly go by the congress

when translated into russian and back again

And Tiff embarrasses herself again.. I'm noticing a pattern with you..

Oh, Tifffff....*weeps*

Wow, interesting sig I have... Updated On: 12/2/04 at 02:28 AM

"Ca does anything - does not think of Ca of future... when I am really creve - j'ai kidney sense d'humor..."

my first genuine laugh of the day..... thanks..

literal translation...

it does(or makes) nothing - when I am truly exhausted I have no sense of humor..

"it does nothing" is a close as french get's to "don't worry about it...."

once you understand the pictures in their idioms (just like ours) it helps you build phrases better. Of course, you must have some vocab to work with. That's where I am with spanish right now..

nessesito hablar mas!

Tiff- About Starbucks, yeah, corporate policy is that baristas only get 30% off on their off days. But my manager rocks, and has decided that we get everything free.

As for French, my reading and speaking are fine, but my writing is soooooo not up to par.

Where the hell did "kidney" come from?

All right, everyone, enjoy...I'm off to bed!

Well all I'm going to call it a night.. I will talk to you tomorrow..

and speaking of LOTR

did Lucas rip Tolkein off or what?

when I saw LOTR - I was like OMG this is STAR WARS!!

which is why I've outline a wonderful parody that's a conglomerate of the two...

[ShbrtAlley44]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 2:32am

OMG! I must see this!!!!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 2:32am

Is it R-rated as well?

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 2:33am

what exactly would a Kidney sense of humor be?

And Fredi, in response to the French (which I understood...yay me), I know. Probably should have made sure it was cool with you if i called you nuts. Nothing but love!!!

b_s_t, it's not entirely your fault. I'm the one who wrote it to begin with.

[broadway_star_tomorrow]

Posted: 12/2/04 at 2:36am

that's true! all your fault. ::goes to grab flaming pitchfork::

and I'm guessing kidney came from "rien"
