oh joy. yes.

They've got the campus power fully back on, so I can go in to work. Yay. Joy. Yee. ...bastards.

Mom sent me this link. She is the bestest mom in the whole world. http://www.toostupidtobepresident.com/shockwave/oily%5Fgrail1.htm (flash animation parody of a bit of the Holy Grail movie, with a certain Tony Blair and George W as a couple of crusaders questors seeking allies) Also, she has mailed me the latest Terry Pratchett book, and it should be arriving soon.

And because I responded to the meme in Aaron's journal, I post it here:
Post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want.
Then post this to your journal.
See what people remember about you.

Not much up...no morning Kat-ness...still no Arty. And still been reading a lotta ficcage. Oh, and last night had the best creme brulee *ever*. And it makes me determined to get what I need to attempt making of it at home. I bet I could do it.

...*sighs* bleah.

Another link from Ma--is even better than the first this group did ('This Land Is Your Land')

Just one last one, then I shut the feck up

Is all about the last panel.


Also...I now have the copy of the newest Terry Pratchett book, Going Postal, from Mom. That part of me that isn't fretting-worrying about something is going SQUEE.


Also also...I have finally found an English translation of the O-Zone song Oriunde Ai Fi.

And because I feel like it, the song copy/pasted together:
*****
Oriunde Ai Fi
by O-Zone

I:
Am privit-o in ochi ultima oara
Lacrimile curgeau,erau atat de amare
Ma ruga sa n-o uit, simtea ca-i ultima vara
Iar eu ii spunem asa: 'Iubirea nu moare.'
Nu stiam ca era ultima noapte
Cand puteam fi atat, atat de aproape
Imi amintesc doar vorbe desarte
Cand o priveam in ultima noapte...
Ultima privire mi-a ramas in amintire,
Ultima dezamagire nu o pot uita...

[I've looked her in the eyes for the last time
Tears fell down, they were so bitter
She asked me not to forget, it felt like the last summer
While I said something like: "Love never dies".
Didn't knew that it was the last night
When it was so, so near
I remember only this
When I saw her at the last night
Last sight kept me remembering
Last disappointment that I won't forget.]

Refren:
Oriunde ai fi eu te voi gasi
Oriunde tu ai fi eu te voi iubi
Oriunde-n noapte sau zi eu te voi gasi
In sinea mea cand voi iubi
Dulcea mea,amara mea...te voi gasi...

[Wherever you are I will find you
Wherever you are I will love you
Whatever, night or day I will find you
When will I love you to myself
My sweet one, my bitter one... I will find you...]

II:
In fiece seara cand incerc sa adorm,
Plang si ascult piesa ei preferata,
Caci ma face s-o simt atat de aproape
Imi aminteste de noi si de ultima noapte
Ultimul sarut pe buzele reci
Il simt tremurand cu gura amara,
Te sarut in vis nopti intregi
Ca pe o fantoma reala din ultima vara
Ultima privire mi-a ramas in amintire
Ca un vis, ca o poveste disparuta in nori...

[Every evening when she try to go to sleep
Cry and listen a piece her preference
Because I make and I sense her so much closer
She reminds me of us and of our last night
The last kiss on cold lips
I sense trembling with bitter mouth
I kiss you all night in a dream
That's the real ghost of the last summer
Last sight kept me remembering
Like a dream, like tale lost in clouds]

Refren:
Oriunde ai fi eu te voi gasi
Oriunde tu ai fi eu te voi iubi
Oriunde-n noapte sau zi eu te voi gasi
In sinea mea cand voi iubi
Dulcea mea, amara mea...te voi gasi...

[Wherever you are I will find you
Wherever you are I will love you
Whatever, night or day I will find you
When will I love you to myself
My sweet one, my bitter one... I will find you...]

In noapte sau zi te voi gasi
Te voi iubi amara mea...te voi gasi...

[At night or at day I will find you
I will love you my bitter one... I will find you...]

Refren:
Oriunde ai fi eu te voi gasi
Oriunde tu ai fi eu te voi iubi
Oriunde-n noapte sau zi eu te voi gasi
In sinea mea cand voi iubi
Dulcea mea, amara mea...te voi gasi...

[Wherever you are I will find you
Wherever you are I will love you
Whatever, night or day I will find you
When will I love you to myself
My sweet one, my bitter one... I will find you...]

III:
Te voi iubi in noapte sub cerul plin de stele
Ca-n visurile mele cand te voi gasi...
Te voi strange-n brate ca-n ultima noapte
Mereu voi fi aproape
Cand te voi...gasi...

[I will love you at night under the starry sky
Like in a nice dream of mine I will find you
I will hug you tightly like the last night
I will always be near you
When I find... you.]

I cannot love that song more. And yes, I have this quiet little daydream of having this song (or the ballad part of Inui's Distance) playing, and silently slow dancing with someone. I have odd ideas of what is romantic, yes. *shrugs*
