5. Понимать юмор -- труднее всего
-- Вера, что сейчас передают по телевизору?
Vera, what are they showing on television now?
-- Сейчас передают концерт Галкина.
Now they're showing a concert by Galkin. [Thank you, Wiki]
-- А кто такой Галкин?
And/but/just who is this Galkin? [... That's exactly what I wanted to know?]
-- Галкин -- известный наш комик.
Galkin is a famous comic of ours. [Thank you, dialogue!]
-- Я боюсь, что я не пойму его.
I'm afraid I don't understand it/him (?).
-- Не у него такие смешные вещи!
[??? I feel like I should be able to parse that better than I can.] such ridiculous things
-- По-моему, понимать юмор -- труднее всего.
In my opinion [AH-HAH. I was looking for that.] to understand humor is the most difficult [thing].
-- Может быть, ты прав. Но Галкина понимать несложно.
Maybe you're right. But Galkin is not complicated.
-- Хорошо, давай посмотрим вместе. Если я что-нибудь не пойму, то ты мне всё объяснишь.
All right, let's watch . If I don't understand something, you can always/still explain it to me.

That was... surprisingly easy. I like it! I need to up my vocab, but I like it.

Got more sleep and feel somewhat better, but we'll see how I feel towards the end of the day. And if I'm going out and undergoing more Jeff Bridges torture today (although to be honest Jeff Bridges made me twitch less in True Grit than Matt Damon and his lip ferret) or if I get to come home and fall over till Sean Bean Dies Or Betrays Someone.

Um. Things and stuff. Brain not working. Slowly pulling myself together again, and it helps to orient myself with the weekly CS posts, but brain still not working. This weekend is so for only doing a certain small number of specific things and then RESTING the rest of the time. Because did I mention the brain not working? I need to rest the brain so I don't keep trying to push it past the bounds of its capabilities and then fall over afterwards. I also have the sneaking suspicion I'm missing something, but I can't think what. Then again the last time I had this feeling it was because I'd looked into a Big Bang I ultimately decided not to add on to my current load, so I wasn't actually missing anything.

Right. Getting my shit together, heading to work, wondering why I had dreams last night about handing out/sharing Lendrum bobbins, etc. I suppose it's a good sign when I dream about spinning, but I still don't know what was up with that.
