I never called about a tetnus shot. My jaw is really sore. But I have TMJ and my mouthgaurd doesn't fit all that well. I don't want to go back to my old ortho beacuse it's too far and he was annoying.

I don't know what to do. Why isn't there a pill that makes everythign better?

My friend from work's mother read parts 11-20 (Bondage and Dirty Words-Trust Part 2) of Corner of the World. It was sitting out on E. (my friend's) coffee table (I've been printing the out and putting them in a binder for her) while the mother was babysitting the little kid.

She read the *whole thing*. Now, on the one hand, what person reads stuff like thtat without enjoying it (unless they're bored as hell). On the other hand...

I'm going to have to face this woman at her grandson's Spiderman birthday party.

Thank God it's not a Superman party.

In other news, I want to be Willy Wonka for Halloween. So far, I have the shoes, pants and gloves. I need.... everything else.

I have a feeling I won't be able to pull this off. *sigh*

I stumbled across this site the other day while looking for an enlish to chinese translator. I've been having a lot of fun playing with it, but this one was too good to pass up posting. I chose a paragraph from Defensive Strategies by Milkshake Butterfly to run through the translator.

The site does the following:


What happens when an English phrase is translated (by computer) back and forth between 5 different languages? The authors of the Systran translation software probably never intended this application of their program. As of September 2003, translation software is almost good enough to turn grammatically correct, slang-free text from one language into grammatically incorrect, barely readable approximations in another. But the software is not equipped for 10 consecutive translations of the same piece of text. The resulting half-English, half-foreign, and totally non sequitur response bears almost no resemblance to the original. Remember the old game of "Telephone"? Something is lost, and sometimes something is gained.


Let's see what happens when we put House/Wilson through the ringer, shall we?
