Bartender almost set me on fire Saturday.

4 Hungarians came in and ordered some shots. When I turned around the ashtray was on fire. I'm thinking "what the hell? That's not how you get rid of cigarette butts." Bartender dips two fingers into the flames, his fingers go out and he does it again. I'm just dumbfounded watching this, wondering what he's doing. Then he spits liquor across his fingers, Zena warrior princess style, causing a huge ball of fire to roll across the bar setting the shots on fire. Of course he didn't bother to warn me even though I had an arm on the bar. The fireball rolled up my arm to the elbow. Now, I had a good buzz going on, so instead of freaking out, my thought was "I'm on fire, interesting", but it went out in a flash, so no harm was done.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

In Itaewon?

Maybe I should start going there more often. Sounds exciting. :D

No, that was in Suwon, but it was at the NB (NoiseBasement) and I know there's one of those in Hongdae.

La dictée is still a classic in France. Stupid teenages fed on SMS and keske get bad marks but they deserve it.
En and ans sound the same but not on :D Same thing with brun and brin except in regional varieties.
I was good at it so I am biased ;)
Why can't french evolve, english has?
French has already evolved.  Into English.

Seriously, it's a matter of pride.  If anybody actually cared about communicating effectively, they would only speak English.

I like the use of Latin.  :smarty:

Alatriste

I quite like Latin words provided they aren't included a fortiori.

The quid pro quo for not using Latin tags is enhanced elegance of language.

The end of the year school festival...WTF was that insanity. :blink:

All the anime depictions of such an event that I've seen pale in comparison. By far weirder than anything I've seen in Korea so far by a factor of 500. Full AAR once I get home from work.

Met up with HMB yesterday. More to come on this later as well as the crazy school festival.

HMB is on report for having rabidly libertarian friends.  :mad:
