4. Американцы часто переезжают?
-- Ребекка, а это правда, что американцы часто переезжают?
Rebecca, is this right, that Americans often move?

-- Да. Мы, например, переезжали часто. Когда мне было 10 лет, мы переехали в Кливленд.
Yes. We, for example, moved often. When I was 10, we moved to Cleveland.

-- А до этого?
And before that?

-- До этого мы жили в Чикаго.
Before that we lived in Chicago.

-- А потом?
And after?

-- А потом через пять лет мы переехали из Кливленда в Даллас.
And after five years we moved from Cleveland to Dallas.

-- А у нас переезжают редко. Вот я родился, вырос и учился в Москве.
We move rarely. Here [as in, for example] I was born, grew up, and studied in Moscow.

5. Откуда вы?
-- Здравствуйте! Давайте познакомимся. Меня зовут Назарова Надежда Анатольевна. Пожалуйста, расскажите о себе. Как вас зовут? Откуда вы?
Hello! Let's get acquainted. My name is Nazarova (ugh transliteration) Nadezhda? Anatolevna. Please, tell [me] about yourself. What is your name? Where are you from?

-- Меня зовут Мишель. Я из Нью-Хэмпшира.
My name is Michelle. I'm from New Hampshire.

-- Нью-Хэмпшир, кажется, на западе Америки?
New Hampshire, it seems to me/I hear, is in [the] west [of] America?

-- Нет, на востоке.
No, in the east.

-- А вы живёте у родителей?
Do you live with your parents?

-- Нет, мама и папа живут в другом штате, во Флориде, на юге страны.
No, Mother and Father live in another state, in Florida, in the south [of the] country. (?)


And I have my Watch books in both English and Russian! Now I can struggle my way through some enjoyable Russian science fiction. This makes me happy. :)

Ugh. So much crap to do today, well, and in general, in terms of writing. Still debating on that whole Holmes Big Bang thing, debating on a lot of things. Mostly that. The other three Big Bangs are either one that I have massive plotbunnies for and would be mad fun crack, or are original stuff I was meaning to work on anyway, so hey.

Right. Today, I will get the damn episode meme done and the damn prep-work for the stupid Western story and at least something for the last two Pam drabble requests. And hopefully it won't be ... something. I'm not sure if I want it to be busy or dead again.
