1. We'll look at the Kremlin when we're in Moscow. Мы поглядим Кремль, когда мы будем в Москве.
2. If the weather is hot, we'll swim. Если погода будет жаркая, мы будем плавать.
3. If it rains, we'll go to the movies. Если пойдёт дождь, мы будем идти в кино.
Aaand that's about all I'm going to do because I seriously need to review the future tense now.
Ugh. Thinking of just investing in a USB keyboard to deal with the whole missing backspace keycap problem and having done with it. Apparently I'm really rough on my laptop keyboards, or I have been in the past and they were more durable, or I've gotten worse over the years. Not sure which of the many options it is. Not sure it really matters at this point, although it's hard to tell just how bad this keyboard is. Hell, if I'd known I was going to blow through laptops at this rate I would have just gotten a desktop for size and a netbook for portability. Screw that.
Um. Slightly more coherent. I saw the premieres of Haven and Covert Affairs last night. Covert Affairs was cheesetastic fun, lots of quirky one-liners and Piper Perabo in an ultimately vapid and full of stereotypes but entertaining role. The best character so far is the blind control/support guy. The husband-wife CIA team bickering was fun but got boring very, very quickly. I hope they're not going to linger too much on that as comedy. Emma Barnes/Madison/Angell showed up, which was kind of bzuh-y, and the overall plot was easy to connect, improbable, yet entertaining. Guilty pleasure show.
Haven was a little more plot-ful and a little more character driven, but there's still nothign about it that really blows my skirt up. The sheriff has his own form of disability, the name of which I can't remember but which amounts to his nervous system giving him no sense of touch and what the hell is it with disabled characters lately being the side kick to the main chick? Or is it just that these two shows were on the same night, both featured spunky blonds with disabled dark-haired lanky/wiry cohort men, and I'm just .... drawing conclusions as well as parallels. Something. It was odd.
Right. Work now. I'm on the wrap-up scenes of Martine, which I might be able to get finished today and... that's just strange to have these last few scenes going quicker than I thought they were. It seems kind of anti-climactic, but once I have the whole thing put together I'll be able to actually look at it and see where I can expand and where everything else needs to go. And then, other Big Bangs. And stuff. Things and stuff. Stuff and things.
