-- Ну и мороз! У вас всегда бывает так холодно зимой?
It's cold! Do you always have such cold winters?

-- Ну конечно же, тебе холодно. Посмотри, как ты одет!
Of course it's cold for you/(more accurately) But of course you're cold. Just look at how you're dressed!

-- Я же не знал, что у вас в ноябре минус 10 градусов!
I didn't know that would be minus 10 degrees in November! (God, this sounds like something I'd say.)

-- Десять градусов – что ещё ничего. Ты скажи, как можно кататься на лыжах без шапки?
Ten degrees – that's still nothing. Tell me, [lit: you say, imp form] how can you ski without a hat?

-- Понимаешь, я всегда катаюсь на лыжах без шапки. Ведь у нас в Филадельфии не так холодно, как у вас.
Understand/You see (is acceptable), I always ski without a hat. After all, in Philadelphia it is not so cold.

-- А осенью, наверное, совсем тепло?
In the autumn, probably, it's quite warm?

-- Да, даже в ноябре-декабре не холодно – градусов пять.
Yes, even in November and December it's not cold – five degrees.

-- У вас, наверное, вообще нет зимы?
So you generally don't have winter? [More literally "you, probably, generally no winter?"]

-- Зима у нас начинается в январе. Но ты прав. У нас не очень холодно и редко идёт снег.
Winter begins for us in January/Our winter begins in January. But you're right. We don't often have cold (weather)/We don't get much cold and it rarely snows.

There are very few everyday feelings more disgusting than feeling your sweat dry while you're generating more. Ew. Gross. Before anyone asks, though, yes, I'm drinking a lot of water. Gotta replenish those fluids somehow.

... My god, Die Eier Von Satan really does kind of sound evil. If you don't know German and you're not listening to the lyrics. "And no eggs" doesn't really sound Satanic. Especially when you're talking about baking. (And iTunes follows it up with The Death and Resurrection Show. I love you, iTunes.)

And then maintenance scared the shit out of me. Oi.

Right. Today's writing stuff looks pretty do-able, especially if it stays as quiet as it has been at work. Not entirely sure what I'll do for Kink Bingo, but I'll think of something. Also need to go to the post office, that'll be good exercise. Other than that... trying to think, we don't have any of the quarter ton shipments of yarn coming in. I don't think we have any major dye shipments or reed shipments that are actually due anytime soon. Or, rather, we do, but they're not likely to actually show up. Maybe if I can get a good whack of writing whacked out early the last hour can be spent on the spinning wheels. Or just, dicking around in front. That'd be fun. Oh god, I'm going to end up being a tourist attraction.

Well, here's hoping I got the Russian right at least. I can't tell if it was too easy, just easy enough, or what. And the word order still puzzles me sometimes.
