I assure you I am a full-time internet
Just like I expected, outside was a skating rink today. Ice every-fucking-where. I considered going out, but I slipped and fell on my ass as soon as I got to the end of the driveway, so... there went that idea. Ended up spending two hours chipping at ice instead. Sigh. Hopefully it'll be a bit less slick out there tomorrow.
Started rereading Reaper Man. I have absolutely zero recollection of this Discworld novel, even though I've read it before. Only read it once, though, which probably explains. I tend to really enjoy the Death books though, so I expect I'll like this one as well. We will seeeee....
After some cute fanart for Miraculous Ladybug crossed my dash, I decided to check it out. I remember there was a bit of excitement a handful of years ago when the 2D production video came out, but then it turned out that the actual series would be 3d, and for an even younger audience than originally expected, and some people were disappointed. And I confess, I'm a little disappointed in what the actual show is like too - the PV looked pretty cool - but... oh well, it's cute?
Thing is - I decided to watch it in French, because hey, it's a French production (well, French/Korean), and the story takes place in France, and I need to practice my French, so why not. But ohhh good lord, that attempt was just - basically I was hit smack in the face with the fact that my French is truly terrible, fff. I just. FFFF. If I caught one word out of twenty, it'd be a miracle. Guess I just need to face the fact that when it comes to audio, I just - wow. So, uh, clearly that's... something I need to work on. I guess.
I wouldn't even be concerned about brushing up on it if France weren't on the list of potential places to go some time in the next few years. Buuuuut... it is. So. [/SHRUG] It is what it is, I suppose! There's plenty of time, at least. (Meanwhile, I have been completely neglecting Norwegian. Should get back on that track as well. It's hard to get in the mood for it, though, even if I prefer it.)
