Keeping a low profile...
Apr. 1st, 2010 07:47 pmToday is not my day for idly browsing the Web, since entirely too many people seem fixated on pulling off The Next Great April Fool's Prank™ and my ability to maintain a healthy skepticism about what I read on this medium is shaky enough as it is.
I managed to make up some of the translation shortfall from yesterday, but the Next Big Job™ is turning out to be a drag, so it's taking a little longer for my head to get into the swing of things. I'm prepared to call it a day, but should I choose to come back down to the office later, I will consider any additional text translated as a bonus for the day.
* * * Galina and I watched The Hurt Locker yesterday, and although I found the film watchable, and experienced a pang of schadenfreude when thinking of Avatar, I sort of wondered what all the hullaballoo was about. It seemed a very slice-of-life kind of story (and of an ugly life, at that), not at all entertaining in itself, in which nobody seems to change, either for the better or the worse. (However, for a buck from the Redbox kiosk, it was certainly worth the price of admission, so to speak.)
Oh, my! Look at the time! Dinner, anyone?
Cheers...
