taratemimaI hate being mostly monolingual sometimes, because I had to run "Herbsstag" through Babelfish, get confused over the fourth line, then hunt for English translations. Blame ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I don't hate it enough to set aside cash for language classes. Damn the man (hellsbitch infected me with that line).
Herbsstag and translations are here.
And somehow I jump to Spanish, the one other language I can read (with a heavy dictionary by my side) and Borges.
fuschia infected me with Aleksander Serge'eivich Pushkin, and the need to look for pictures of him. A character looks vaguely like him, only a teenager. He has a page. I used to be able to read Cyrillic. Really.
The remark on my last public entry was because I was thinking how long it was when I was a teenager, and how my seventeen year old boys were sounding like a twenty-five year old woman. Not good, maybe I should talk to some teenagers. Go back to the Pit, crash wild parties in Allston and Cambridge. But I am afraid I will get laughed at.
I did appreciate the sentiments, however.
