I dig'em both. Especially the new default with your name. Snazzy.

Spasibo. I see you're getting all fancy with the spiffy fades there yourself, eh? :)

donna_c_punk August 6 2002, 23:51:07 UTC

Yeah. Me and my meager Animation Shop talents. ;) Everyone's icons seem to look better than mine but I have accepted it. Everyone else has the snazzy icons. ::dries a tear:: I'm all right.

Love the icons. Very cool. And the Krycek one amuses me.

Thank you. I see you've got the spiffy XF icon thing going too. :)

urbanfae August 26 2002, 06:14:50 UTC

Yup :) Feeling the XF love again.

Dammit, I do not need to plan a *third* TMBG dS vid I can't make, even if this one is F/K...

Mmmm... Faulkner/Krycek: A Rose for Alex.

I actually meant Fraser/Kowalski, as they are both characters on Due South, but I like the way you think.

Oooh, pretty. I like the first one better, the multi-lingual one. The second one, of course, I'm also fond of. And ha! I can read it! Well, sort of. I can read it out loud, and then I have to look at the translation.

Yay, you can read Russian.

krasivyj, krasivaya, krasivoe, krasivye = "beautiful." These are all the nominative forms (m, f, n, pl). There are a whole bunch of others, depending on what case you have (krasivoi, krasivom, krasivovo, krasivuyu...). The word here is "krasivaya," the feminine form, to agree with...

krysa = "rat." You can tell it's feminine because the nominative singular for it ends in -a. You probably knew this word already. You may notice that this is not the exact word you see on the icon, but that's because I have added a diminutive to it, so that it means "little rat." Endings like -ik, -chik, -ka, -ulya, -ochka, -on'ka, -ko, -on'ko, etc, all make a word diminutive. I have no idea how to tell which ending goes with which word; I just asked on linguaphiles how you stick a diminutive on "rat," and I'm not sure if I got exactly the right one, but anyway.

That's your Russian lesson for today. :)
