אני מרגישה רע והחתולים מהגיהנום לא נותנים לי לישון. הם מכתרים את ליאמונה האומלל מתחת למיטה שלי ונוהמים זה על זה כנמר הספארי כל יום וליל. אתמול שכבתי במיטה רוב זמני הפנוי וניסיתי לשכנע את הבטן שלי שלהקיא יהיה רעיון ממש לא מוצלח

hmm..
First off, I'd like to say, that throwing up when you feel you need to is not only not-a-bad-thing, aux contraire, it feels good, releasing, rejuvenating. Almost orgasmic. (stop looking at me like that!).

Other than that, I'd like to mention that I hate Harry Potter and what that hag has done to child-literacy in the western world with every fiber of my being. Go read Lord of the Rings instead of that cheesy crap, damnit!!
When I was a kid, I read C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books. Kids nowadays... They're lucky if they see the cartoon adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe on tv. :/

Oh, and lastly, my current favorite twist on the saying is
ויקום הגזר וייתן בוסה לגנן.

Well, the Harry Potter books may not be part of the best-written literature in history, but they're still cute. As for child literacy, I don't think that the kids of the nineties actually *read* anything before Harry Potter. At least that way they get to handle large, bulky books, which might encourage them to read other books after they're done with their Harry Potters. It's also useful because they get to understand that not all literature is comprised of the dull, or at least totally inadequate books they make them read at school.

Besides, J.K. Rowling being a qualified Classicist, she does feature nice tidbits from Latin and Greek culture in her books. I don't think a book featuring allusions to characters from the Roman and Greek mythologies was ever so popular.

Please forgive me for not commenting, because if I do, I'll blabber on and on, and since you like the book (which is as legitimate an arugement as any) we won't reach any new conclusions, so I'm saving us the trouble.
Let our paths split with peacful disagreement now, it's better.

Didn't say I liked the book (though it is nice, in a silly sort of way). All I'm saying is, it's not as if kids today would have read Narnia if only Harry Potter wouldn't have been there to distract them. In fact, without Harry Potter the most they would have read is movie subtitles (and in English speaking countries, not even that).

Besides, it's only a fantasy series, like millions of others, only this one sold better than most. Really nothing to work yourself up about. I suppose most people also don't understand why Lord of the Rings became so popular. I mean, it's a sweeping epic and all that, but the fact that it was written by a humdrum Oxford linguist is evident every step of the way.

Cheers!

How are you, Yael?

In Arabic we say: "Ma shukran `ala wajiba!".

(That means: One does not need to receive thanks on doing one's duty. In other words, you're welcome)

I'm currently engaged on reading a truly dull history book for my next exam. It goes something like: 'And then 'Ikrima bin abi-Jahl went to `Ali bin abi-Talib, and told him, "Ya `Ali, we must depose of `Umar bin al-Khattab!". Thereupon they went to Hira`, where they met Musaylima the Liar'...

And so forth. It's really driving me crazy. As you can see, I've had too much stuff in Arabic during the past week for my own good. Well, see you at the centre later today. Bye!

[starblower]

At least that's not even remotely close to what the Japanese say: "kono konichiwa oyasumi nasai" which means, if translated roughly, "One does not need to receive thanks on doing one's duty, but you did thank me and therefore deemed me unworthy and to compensate I shall SWALLOW A FRISBEE. HARAKIRI RULES OK!".

Hahahahahaah, do you reckon 'Musaylima the Liar' is a befitting name for the Cat?

*pats the crazy Man*
I could've seen the studious Man has fallen victim to a mental illness when he up and kidnapped a Rock'n'roll Girl.

See ya soon, Bobinyo!

You didn't think you could pass such a rough translation without any comment from me, did you?
Besides, seppuku by frisbee swallowing is for ninjas only. Ask Mark if you don't believe me.

See this movie if you haven't already. It's brilliant.
