Well, you've read the notes, the notes were quite Swedish, and now it is time for you to post until the Swedish cows come home.

And the word of the day is: HYDROMANCY!

Topic of the Day: languages spoken other than English...none. $:-\$

My mom is German, but she never taught us to speak it and I never took a foreign language in high school. I did take one quarter of Spanish in college, but that's it.

When I was going to Western Washington University (and was planning on becoming a choir teacher), I took a class on how to pronounce foreign languages, so that I would at least sound like I knew what I was singing.

A few days ago, a Facebook friend posted a picture that just said, "I speak fluent sarcasm."

Or the famous Goon Show line: "Wait, I hear someone screaming in agony - fortunately, I speak it fluently.

I gotta tell you. Part of the problem of arising at noon, is that at one in the morning you're just starting to get tired again.

Time for bed. I'm actually taking today off. It's my aunt's last full day and I'm going to spend it with her and the rest of the family. She leaves on Tuesday to go back to California. Fortunately, we're not meeting at my parents' until 2:00 pm, or so...so I get to sleep in. I love it when that happens.

Good night!

Morning all! Have to make this quick because I've decided to start walking again so I don't have the time I did to post in the morning. I walked a mile today. I figure I will work my way back up. I really do need to get this weight off. I look horrible.

I can sing in a couple languages but I really don't speak anything fluently. A few words here and there in German, French, Latin, Spanish and maybe one or two in Russian. Oh and Klingon. That's a language too!

Everyone have a good and safe day! Vibes to all!

Morning all.

That is all.

Don't know how hot it will get today. Currently it's pleasant but it's supposed to get into the very high 80s and then the heat breaks.

We shall see.

Good morning, all! I slept well, I think, but there were a lot of dreams about the Appalachian Christmas show. Go figure.

First thing this morning, i am back to the McGlinnventory to ship these orchestra parts to Dublin. I have to raise hell with the mail room for not emailing the last trcking numbers to our paralegal on Thursday or Friday. It's currently 74 and the weather site predicts a high of 85 today.

After I ship, I will head up to Toyland for a bit and then catch a bus home. I've got BALLET BALLADS begun, but it's a lot of music to proof. I may attend a wedding party tonight, but it's all the way down by City Hall, and everything depends on how the day goes.

Good morning, all. And a tack, bra, puss puss to all in need.

TOD: I've studied German, Spanish and French, but I have forgotten a lot of all three because I don't use any of them enough. I have picked up some Italian and Portuguese along the way. I could only must about three words of Greek (the words for please, thank you and wine).

My facility for speaking another language seems to increase with alcohol intake.

Good morning, all.

And boy do I need the COFFEE today.

Druxy · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2012, 05:21:59 AM »

TOD:

English only spoken here.

In high school, I studied Spanish, but it didn't stick.

For all you Jessie Matthews fans:

Finally, one of her movies is becoming available on American DVD.

It's FIRST A GIRL, which served as the basis for Blake Edward's VICTOR/VICTORIA. My wife and I watched it last night.

It's a fun movie with some enjoyable, albeit forgettable, songs. Dance numbers are Busby Berkeley light.

Matthews is a real charmer, and her husband (doing the Robert Preston role straight), is also excellent.

The 1935 movie has been nicely restored and looks great.

TOD: I have language guilt. I'm pretty fluent in my native English, and through the wonderful world of music I've gotten familiar with lots and words and phrases, but I only ever studied German. I think I got into my third year before giving it up for some reason, and I regret that. Nowadays I most wish I knew French, and I daydream about just diving into it sometime and seeing how far I could get with.

In the third or fourth grade in Columbus (the one in the Buckeye State) my class was taught some beginning words and phrases of French. The only reason I have any memory of it at all is that several of us were taken down to one of the TV studios to be shown off on some local daily show as learning French. My word to show off was "hand" - "main".

In junior high school in Fort Lauderdale we were taught Spanish for a semester or maybe a year. I remember a few textbook phrases, but probably picked up more Spanish living in L.A. later.

I've only been exposed to Swedish through Bergman films and a couple of contemporary films like INSOMNIA. I remember starting to recognize certain bits after several of the Bergmans, but couldn't tell you any of it now, so I'm hanging on to the newly learned TACK, BRA, and PUSS PUSS for dear life.

It hope to have a bra day - but it may turn out to be tack.

The only other Swedish I know is hut sut rallson on the rillera and a bralla bralla suet.

The Rallson is a Swedish town, the rillera is a stream. The bralla is a boy and girl. The hut sut is their dream. I don't know what the tack the suet is.

Tonight is newspaper photography night - so anyone not ready at 6:30 p.m. has NO chance of being in the paper! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Then a dress rehearsal!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #26 on:** July 09, 2012, 05:45:38 AM »

I speak un poco de Espanol.

And I can do signed English and American Sign Language - which is different with syntax all its own and is recognized as separate language by whoever recognizes languages.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 09, 2012, 05:48:02 AM »

I also speak The Universal Language, Unamunda, as taught by David Ives in the play of the same name.

Calimari, calimari.

I spoke fluent schoolgirl French three times a week during French IV in college. But if you don't use it, you lose it. So c'est la bibliothèque de ma tante est la même, non?
