copinggoggles and her anal HTML formatting have struck again! Go forth and spread the joy at her meticulously organised LOVE MEME.

At this stage I think I may as well just make a little voodoo doll and label it 'Microsoft PowerPoint' and then spend an hour sticking pins into it before smashing it with a hammer, because that is exactly how productive the hour I spent working on Friday's presentation earlier today has turned out to be, and also it would make me feel much better.

What's that, PowerPoint? No, of course I have enough time to start my presentation again from scratch. No problem. Excuse me while I go and fetch some more pins.

Today I had a true Martha Jones moment and learned THE BONES OF THE HAND. Turns out they're not actually all that bad: it's the tendons that are real bitches.

There IS no such thing as a voodoo doll!

Unexcitingly, he got all 'oh, I don't need you to know the names of the carpals!' on us. But I am starting to freak out about the amount of anatomy I have already forgotten and will have to dredge up for exams, and cannot bring myself to care that he has cut back the amount of stuff to memorise.

That's so weird! But lucky? You have all those non-bone things to learn, which is awful... or which I think is awful.

In response to your other comment, I am not a voodoo doll either!

No, when I kick you I am kicking you. Rather than...uh...what are you a living embodiment of, Cosmas? Anything exciting?

The Resistance!

(Any Resistance.)

Je suis la bourgeoisie?

Ne sois pas la bourgeoisie! Je câcherai une bombe tuyau dans ta maison.

:O Quelle trahison!

Mais peut-être je serai la petite-bourgeoisie sympathetique?

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

Ce n'est pas de trahison. J'ai des principes!

Ça existe, alors? Marx dit "Non" ...

(Okay, so I made up 'sympathetique'. Pretend I wrote 'compatissante'.)

JIIIII, J'OUBLIAIS PROPOSER MES...FANDOMS DE YULE.

It is too late for Franglais. I should be in bed.

J'ai oublié de!

So should we all. :(

My memory of parfait-imparfait = clouded by the intervening five years, hélas! (I forgot...over a period of many days...and continued to forget...dammit, at least I know that other people nominated some of mine.)

Bed. I can totally write and memorise an entire oral tomorrow. I've done it before!

I usually find it easiest to attempt an English equivalent ("I was forgetting to nominate fandoms" or "I used to forget to nominate fandoms" vs. "I forgot to nominate fandoms") and see which sounds less like crazy moon talk.

Of course!

The ONLY example I remember from Year 10 French is hiring bicycles while on holidays.

On a loué des vélos = we hired them once
On louait des vélos = we hired them on more than one occasion/every day

Which, thinking about it, 'we used to hire bicycles' sounds fairly unmoonlike.

*strokes poor neglected grammar book* One day I will have time to get past passé composé!
