Weather. Yay weather.
When the feminine noun погода is the grammatical subject of the sentence, remember to use a feminine adjective.
Погода у нас жаркая (тёплая, прохладная, холодная, чудесная).
У нас жаркая (прохладная, холодная, чудесная) погода.
When the masculine noun климат is the grammatical subject of a sentence, use a masculine adjective.
Климат у нас жаркий (тёплый, прохладный, холодный, чудесный, хороший, неплохой, плохой).
У нас жаркий (тёплый, прохладный, холодый, чудесный, хороший, неплохой, плохой) климат.
Some Russian sentences have no grammatical subject. Where there is no grammatical subject for an adjective to agree with, use the adverbial form of the complement (ending in -o)
Жарко. (Тепло. Прохладно. Холодно. Чудесно.)
У нас жарко (тепло, прохладно, холодно, чудесно).
Сегодня жарко (тепло, прохладно, холодно, чудесно).
To add emphasis, use a form of так or такой for adverbs or adjectives and nouns, respectively.
Выберите нужную форму.

Oogh. Someone remind me to come back to the make your own dialogue section after I've tackled the grammar points?
Got my first bingo done for Kink Bingo. Now I just have to fill the rest of the card and/or finish Sherlock Holmes Big Bang. Well, more that than the other. And Martine. But at least that one's done, posted, finished.
Heading out a bit early today to go to Staples and hopefully get a color printer cartridge. And some chips! And a chipcase. I'm still stoked about being able to put information on chips and I really don't think that's going to go away anytime soon. This was the future, back when I was in high school, this was what people did in the futurstic future in Shadowrun and so on. They put data on chips. And, yeah, maybe the chips aren't as big as they will be in the future or at least as ubiquitous. Because come to think of it, you can fit more data on a chip than you can on a CD, so why aren't we using these yet? Damn. But, yeah. This is the future. And I'm living in it. Butt wiggle dance of happiness.
I have been writing so much smut lately. Maybe that's why it's hard to write Sherlock Holmes. I suppose I could write Sherlock Holmes smut but it goes against the grain, as one of those people who just firmly believes that Holmes was asexual and too arrogant to have room in his heart for anyone but himself and probably Watson. No Sherlock Holmes smut. As hot as Robert Downey Jr and Basil Rathbone are. No. On the plus side, it did sort of help when writing some of Martine. Which I need to get back to today. I think, this weekend, I'll actually be able to finish the Holmes Big Bang once and for all, with edits and fixes and everything. There's really only one major fix I need to do, and the rest is pretty much just polishing and tidying. At least as far as I know. Betas may say differently. And hopefully I can get all that done around finishing Martine, devote the week after that to Martine, and then get back to a more even writing schedule.
And last but certainly not least, People are being stupid and insensitive on the internet. Oh, and water is wet, too. This latest one takes place in Supernatural Fandom, your home of all flavors of batshit crazy all at 110% volume all the time. Further proof that Jag just doesn't understand these things and is going to go hide in her bunker now.
