Today I did the rest of the living room. I love my red plates and monet-esq placemats.

Someone asked why Таня pronounced something in a certain way today and she said “I don’t pronounce it that way; it just sounds like I do.” (Russians often spell things one way, but then pronounce them another, to the bemusement of Australians who pronounce them the way they are spelled regardless of what language they came from: witness news anchors saying “junta”).
The young bloke in the front row with a Guns and Roses T-Shirt didn’t know who Юрий Гагарин was.
I was watching the Colbert Report today and I got the munchies for Doritos. I know I am a couple of weeks late.
There was an article in the Sydney mX today about Stephen Colbert’s (Стефан Колбер) run for the White House. mX is brought to you by the same corporate overlords that bring you Faux News. It did mention it was a joke, but it didn’t mention that he was only running in South Carolina.
I wonder if Sydneysiders even know where South Carolina is. Then again, I know Americans have no idea where New South Wales is.
My Internet is for shit tonight speed wise :(

Today I wrote actual (perl) code as apposed to writing (in English) about existing buggy code or how one might fix said buggy code to make it work.

It was nice.

Prickly subject, I know.

I had it easy when I moved to the states in that I already knew English. Someone was, in fact, rather surprised that I had learned English so quickly after having arrived in the states. In the early 1980s most Americans hadn't heard of Australia, much less what was spoken there.
