May. 9th, 2008 12:34 pmOne of the many reasons why I love SPN? In addition to Dean and Sam and SamnDean and Papa and Bobby and okay you get the picture? Is because some episodes really have my heart pumping like crazy. It's like I'm doing a little sport, you know? Lol
( Quick spoilers for SPN 3x15 )
And now I was going to read some ep reactions but I started reading one and then without warning the review started talking about 3x16 and I'm a bit scared to try other reviews now because there's no way I wanna be spoiled! Not a little week before the finale. Life is hard sometimes *nods*
Oh and unrelated. Yesterday, I spent hours on a translation for a freelance job I'm going for - and I do mean 'hours', Babycakes could vouch for it since we were on the phone for a couple of hours and I was working on it while chatting with her - but it was borderline impossible.
Half of the terms I had to translate - they're keywords for pictures on a website, it's a database for a search engine - were made up, I swear! And the words that do exist were badly spelt, so I actually had to bloody guess what picture they were supposed to represent on the website; I mentioned buying a oui-ja board so that I'd be told what the picture associated with the fake word was supposed to be. It would have been so much easier that way.
Seriously, I had four dictionaries with me - including an Italian one because some of those so-called English words were actually in Italian ... written incorrectly, too - plus on-line dictionaries and wikipedia and google image to help me and still, some words were just non-existent. I have no idea who is the mad person who thought of that list but they're seriously deranged. I might have wanted to kick them in the head a couple of times.
I sent the document last night so it's out of my hands now. I'm not really hopeful - I'm afraid it was a tad too complex - but I still can't help hoping anyway because, you know, at least I have a better chance getting the job now that I actually did the test than if I hadn't done it, right? So I'll wait and see.
Okay, now, off to my sister's for some lazying around.
