Yeah. You can tell you've become really juvenile when the phrase "economic interpenetration between Canada and the United States" makes you snigger uncontrollably for five minutes straight.

I'm getting weird looks from the people with whom I'm sharing this office, and I don't feel particularly inclined to share the reason for my mirth with them. *snicker*

In other news, Charlie's Angels is fun but has no plot. Demi Moore is still very hot, but she has this weird leathery thing going on with her tummy that was kind of disturbing to watch while she was running around in her bikini on the beach. Drew Barrymore is still droolworthy, especially as she seems to be the only woman in hollywood who's allowed to have substantial curves. Yummy. :)

Outtakes were hilarious. :)

Went to see PotC again, because I couldn't resist. It was even better the second time around, although someone needs to teach Orlando Bloom to articulate: some of his dialogue gets lost due to mumbling in loud crowds. One-on-one he's fine, but in larger scenes he gets overwhelmed.

mhw, sweets, will you be around at all this weekend? I'd dearly love to do some more Reparo stuff with you. :) Oh, and I promise to put up the Dumbledore/Draco bit we wrote up the other day, I just got sidetracked and remembered it now, although it's at home and I'm not. :P

Am not in mood to translate today. Will be bringing work home with me over weekend to poke at it a little from the comfort of my own living-room. Had almost forgotten during month of not working how much I dislike fluorescent-lit windowless little boxes. Not surprised I've had two migraines since starting to work here.

It's not a cubicle, but it kind of feels like one. All that's missing is the grey felty type material and the name tags. *shudder*

I think I'm going to go see Mambo Italiano tonight. Am on a major movie kick, and everyone else seems to be occupied with their own lives right now, so I'm amusing myself as best I can.

Ooh! Fire sent me a post! Yay! *runs off*

I'm also very tired, which doesn't help my motivation level one whit. I suppose it *is* my fault for not going to bed early yesterday, but bleh. Besides, this poncy little fellow I'm translating seems to get exponentially worse as I keep going. I'm doubly appalled, as it happens, because this text was supposedly written jointly by two people, and it still kind of sucks, stylistically speaking. I'd expect this kind of writing from a second-or-third year sociology student who's just beginning to understand how to use all those big words he learned in his Intoduction to Socio-economics course. :P

Also, why is it so hard for people to write convincing transition phrases? No, really? You'd think this was an impossible hurdle for most, the way people write these days.

Bitch bitch bitch. ;)
