Ok, so he was cooking something this weekend, but it sure wasn't working for him at all. My original impression was that it was bread, but the actual translation was "dough" or "mixture".. and then he added onions to it and that didn't work so well either. Finally he took it to his fellow workers or something and is considering calling it "OnionCatastrophe"

Between you and Rilke, I'm rather tempted to give up the idea of Irish (or ancient Greek?) as my next language in favor of German.

You'll almost certainly make quicker progress in German. But in the wake of Troy and Lord of the Rings, the other two languages probably have a lot more cachet.

Dude-- "cachet" is *French*.

[muckefuck.livejournal.com]

And English. Qu'est-ce que ton point?

[snowy-owlet.livejournal.com]

Since when do I seem interested in cachet?

... oh wait ...

This entry shows my mastery of both the English and the German language....
