Don't laugh.

I just realized today that Caramelldansen was sung in Swedish.

No wonder the lyrics didn't make any sense. They aren't in English.

One work project has ended and another begun. The one I'm working on now requires doing a task over and over and over again. This can get very old, very fast. So to help keep me on track, I've been hitting up youtube to find Spanish lessons that don't require me to watch so much as listen while I do my work.

I just bet he did. :D

Yesterday, miome and I discovered an Imperial moth on our apartment door. The one we saw looked a lot like the one in the first photograph: about half brown and half yellow. And no, I don't care that the article insists it's yellow and purple. It was brown. Also, do not let the picture fool you. Those things are huge. The one we saw easily had a four ( Read more... )
