In certain cases, is can be followed by an adjective predicate. This usage varies in frequencies across, oh, everything (yeah, dialects and individuals counts for pretty much everything, book).
Is deas é sin! That's nice.
Is fíor sin. That's true.
Is deacair a rá. It's difficult to say.
This is a vestige of the older forms of the language, which always used the copula with adjective predicates. It is now of limited use, and the structures with bí are more common in colloquial language. (Oh lord)
Some idioms use prepositional phrases following a copula. Common examples include expressions of ownership or origin.
Is le hEilís an leabhar seo. This book belongs to Eilís.
Is as an bhFrainc é Pierre. Pierre is from France.
Slowly getting back into the swing of things. A good night's sleep helped. Oddly, I got more sleep last night than I did previous nights and my eyes are only now starting to burn, so I don't know what's up with that. Still. I did a late morning routine swap, got most of my exercises done, got all my routines done and some determinations on curtain fabrics.
And last night we got the damn media center ordered and some unhealthy but not too unhealthy and emotionally fulfilling dinner at Steak and Shake and, most importantly, a goddamn nap. So that happened, and that was good too.
I've had my head sat on (thank you love) about yes, it really is that bad, and only doing one project at a time. So today's first project, and I even brought in my netbook so it could be best accomplished, is either keeping or rejecting the comma notes in the story I have. Because what the hell dude I am taking your punctuation shaker away from you. If I get that done today I will move on to finishing the CS virtues post, or at least drafting so the girls can take a look at it, and then if I still have computer time after that my next computer project will be another scene or two in WL. At home my project will probably be tidying because that I think will help me sort my head out.
Did get to page 61 yesterday in Russian. I'm rather amazed that I'm able to do all of this at all. Too little sleep, too many damn crises. The more I look at it the more glad I am for a vacation, even if that vacation is for an exhausting, saddening reason. I would much more regret not taking the time than I will taking one last weekend.
Allons-y! We are sad, yes, but we are ladies, and we are courtesans, and we are strong. (Yes, sometimes we speak in the plural because we are also vast and contain multitudes.) And we will endure. Now, we have work to do.
