Does this mean we could write letters and send them by post again?

benchilada May 22 2007, 23:00:56 UTC

The what now?

groundbyground May 22 2007, 23:27:47 UTC

Which, letters or post?

benchilada May 22 2007, 23:35:02 UTC

Friends tell me that if I ever visit New York City that I'll never come back...

it's true! if i go back to visit, i might not honor my return flight...

benchilada May 22 2007, 23:35:56 UTC

Not to mention that I know too many cool people who live there...

1) Three cheers for his_hamstress, or rather for the blog formerly known as HH!

2) Come to NYC! It is THE BEST :)

Aww shucks. Thanks baby!

mwissa May 22 2007, 22:58:29 UTC

Excellent.

benchilada May 22 2007, 23:36:19 UTC

That's it?

*sob*

That's it? mwissa May 22 2007, 23:48:04 UTC

hahahahaa. I forgot what the questions were that I asked and when you replied to me, instead of reading your post, I replied with excellent(because you chose mine next). I am getting ready to go to dance class and I will be back later to read your, I can only assume, brilliant answers to my lame-ass questions.

I shall see you in a bit, my Ben. *mwah*

You would only go a little bit madder? Kudos to you. I would go batshit in the first 12 hours. I am not sure about how I would deal. Complete darkness with just enough food or water to keep me alive and only my thoughts and biggest fear would be awful. Since my biggest fear is being alone, that would be really difficult. My sanity only gets me through so much.

I would want to live in the ocean. All logistics magically taken care of, I would so be an ocean dweller. I think it would be awesome.

#1: We'd have to see you in print, now, wouldn't we? But the good news is that people would probably pay to read your writings. Or resort to stealing. Whatever.

#3: As a flutist, this is not an obscure sentence. Try again.

benchilada May 23 2007, 12:59:12 UTC

Hey, the source of that quote is pretty obscure...

iamangelachase May 24 2007, 00:03:14 UTC

Truly. I Googled it and this entry's the only thing that came up. :)
Wait. I don't think that came out the way I meant it to. Ah well.

It was a mistranslated subtitle that I saw in the fabulous HK film DRAGON INN (aka NEW DRAGON GATE INN). I saw this print in a Brew N View during a HK film festival. I've ever seen it again, as the copy I have has different subtitles.

In any event, a guy was basically telling this woman that his Very Important Flute that he was emotionally attached was not important in the grand scheme of things, compared to her love for him.

I think they meant "The flute, it's peanuts compared to your love," you know?

It was just translated at "The flute is peanut."
