So I went to this secondhand English-language bookstore on Saturday. I picked up, amongst other things, a book on basic Danish, have been reading through it and then decided to try out some pronunciation lessons via the internets to try sounding out the language. BIG MISTAKE. I just cannot wrap my head around the pronunciation, though I fecking tried.

I weep for how inept I am at non-Romance languages. :'(

(Russian excepted, but that was because my tutor Svetlana was so good at displaying sheer disdain when one failed.)

But anyway! Apart from that bit of weekend fail, I now have in my possession Glue by Irvine Walsh, The Social Contract by Rousseau and The Idiot by Dostoevsky. I really wanted to get a copy of The Brothers Karamazov but alas, couldn't find it. There was an anthology of Kurt Vonnegut literature there, too, but funds did not permit. I shan't forget it, though. >:)

LOL, you can't learn a whole language's new sounds in an afternoon. I've had three weeks of ICELANDIC INTENSIVE and I am pretty awesome, but a modern Icelander would still sneeze at my attempts. Take it slow. :p

Je t'aime. Comment dit-on "wanker" en français? >:)

PS: I'd txt you back, but I just woke up and I think it's like ... 2200 for you.
