[livejournal.com profile] maboroshimaki, who is an understanding sort where computers are concerned, has let me come up to her place for a few minutes of early-morning computer use. This is fun. My computer is at GamePower on Bank Street, being upgraded, updated, pulled out of the stone age to the communications age. I'd forgotten it wasn't even a Pentium. I've been adding software and hardware at an amazing rate: and the brave little thing just kept on chugging. It wasn't even malfunctioning, but it was huffing and puffing a lot.

I should have my computer back tonight.... I hope.

Yesterday evening we were watching the DVD of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and it was wonderful. We watched favourite bits and pieces.... We froze and zoomed in on the good bits. Yum. What a great movie.

And doesn't "Return of the King" look delicious.

This quiz was really pointless because none of the questions had suitable answers, and I'm only posting the result because I like it! I got it from [livejournal.com profile] fizzabith.

I'm really fascinated by languages and I love reading about language in general and in particular, and one really good way to compare languages, or just to get a sense of what they're like, is to look at Bibles. I once had a print-out of the Lord's Prayer in Basque, but I usually like to look at Genesis. You know what you're getting with Genesis - even if it looks entirely different.

Well, here's a new one. Apparently it's a serious dialectical translation, or so I'm told: The Aussie Bible.

I want to read it.

I bet the Ottawa Public Library is not planning to get a copy for its foreign language section.
