Translate this paragraph. (EEEK.)

Yesterday my friend Viktor and I were having dinner in a restaurant. I ordered meat with potatoes and ice cream. Viktor decided to get chicken with vegetables and coffee. While we were having dinner Viktor was telling me about Moscow and I was asking him about his university. He said that he would graduate from the university in a year. Then we went home.

Вчера мой друг Виктор и я ужинали в ресторане. Я заказала котлеты с картошки и мороженое. Виктор решил заказать курцу с овощи и кофе. Мы ужинали и Виктор говорил о Москве, и я спрашивала ему об его университете. Он сказал, что он окочивает университет через год. Потом мы ходили домой.


Ow. That was hard. My brain feels overheated now.

Definitely not going to get anything on my writing to-do list done this week, or at least, not as much as I wanted. On the other hand, getting a lot of my re-reading done! And making progress, just not actually getting to finish it, which. Debating whether or not I was overreaching in what turned out to be a busy week or whether I allowed myself to be distracted. A bit of both, I think. Next week is going to be fucking insane, so I need to remember that and tone down my schedule appropriately. On the plus side, I've definitely padded my word count, and a lot of that has been productive writing as well as good practice and just generally having fun.

Also Boston Legal amuses me. A lot. We're coming on to the end of it and it just amuses me. "The only show that isn't afraid to have stars over 50 is Bo... I can't say it, it would, um. Break the wall."

Supernatural last night also amused me, in more of an old school way I didn't expect it to. I liked it, I liked the character development they gave a particularly funny recurring guest star and, just, generally I kind of liked it. The mythology was potentially offensive, on the other hand, as someone else said, in an American Gods kind of a way it almost makes sense. Or in an allegorical way if you take it not as indicative of power but more indicative of attitude and/or quickness in combat. Something. Mentalist was rather interesting, too. We got to see a side of Jane and his actions that we don't often see.

Somewhat less tired today, thank god. Plus, reading happened! And relaxing. And other things. And tomorrow, The Losers, and Ali, and the used bookstore of doom. A most excellent road trip.

Ooh. I should have a Russian icon for Tiger Cub.
