kittydesadeAll right, let's try that again.
Русские писатели. Прочитайте вслух.
1. Александр Сергеевич Пушкин родился в 1799 г. тысяча семьсот девяносто девятого года. Он умер в 1837 г. Тысяча восемьсот тридцать седьмого года.
2. Иван Сергеевич Тургенев родился в 1818 г. тысяча восемьсот восемнадцатого года. Он умер в 1883 г. тысяча восемьсот восемьдесят третьего года.
3. Фёдор Михаилович Достоевский родился в 1821 г. тысяча восемьсот двадцать первого года. Он умер в 1881 г. тысяча восемьсот восемьдесят первого года.
4. Лев Николаевич Толстой родился в 1828 г. тысяча восемьсот двадцать восьмого года. Он умер в 1910 г. тысяча девятьсот десятого года.
5. Анна Андреевна Ахматова родилась в 1889 г. тысяча восемьсот восемьдесят девятого года. Она умерла в 1966 г. тысяча девятьсот шестьдесят шестого года.
6. Борис Леонидович Пастернак родился в 1890 г. тысяча восемьсот девяностого года. Он умер в 1960 г. тысяча девятьсот шестидесятого года.
This sort of combines this and the next exercises. The first was to read the sentences aloud, the second was to answer questions about the dates given in the first, which. There you go. Hopefully I didn't botch that too badly.
I swear, I have the clingiest cat that ever clung. I am, apparently, not allowed to have things in my lap that are Not Murdock. That book I was reading? Not Murdock. The computer? Not Murdock. That bowl of cereal? Not Murdock, and in fact that is Murdock's Cereal Milk, Human, Why Are You Drinking My Milk. I'm also not allowed to shower alone. He told me this at the top of his voice.
I am not allowed to buy any more yarn until I knit what I've already got. Seriously. I am going fingerless gloves happy, here, I am going absolutely nuts with it. By way of example, here are some of the projects I'm currently working on:
1 pair fingerless gloves watermelon colored Noro Kureyon.
1 pair fingerless gloves ribbed from freaky purple NatureSpun Brown Sheep
Wash ribbed and stockinette fingerless gloves from Brown Sheep purple to get an idea of shrinkage (lay flat dry)
1 pair fingerless gloves from slate blue NatureSpun
1 pair fingerless gloves from deep navy NatureSpun
1 pair fingerless gloves from deep navy NatureSpun with dark teal fluffy edging
And that's just the ones I have plans for. I also have a couple other balls of yarn I'm not sure what I'm going to do with, but. PLUS all the yarn I've spun. Although most of that is getting given away. I need to spin my two other monkeys and then box it up and send a bunch of it off to people. And set a bunch of skeins, too, which may happen tonight. And then I'll probably start spinning the other monkeys tomorrow.
Two scenes out of 16 are done for Yuletide and I'm almost at 1k. And let me emphasize, one of these scenes was a short intro scene. This is going to be a pretty big story, and it is going to be so much fun to write. I just hope my recipient likes it. I also managed to finish a short story I was getting stuck on yesterday, which was nice. Now I just need to revamp my writing schedule, figure out what I need to do for all my Bingos (which will have to happen tonight, since I don't have a computer I can look at my bingo cards on, argh) and get back on track. Cake.
