3. С наступающим?
Аля: С наступающим, ребята!
Alya: Happy Holidays New Year, guys! [Yes, it is acceptable to substitute the appropriate holiday for translation. You know, this would make the holiday lunacy so much easier if the US had a commonly used and accepted similar phrase... ahem. Tangent.]

Вася: Привет! Ребята, извините, что мы опоздали.
Vasya: Hi! Sorry we're late. [Lit. Guys, excuse us, that we were late.]

Лена: Да что ты, Вася! Заходите, раздевайтесь! Прошу к столу!
Lena: Don't worry about it, Vasya! Come in, take off your coat. Come to the table.

Аля: Какой стол праздничный! Лена, ты, наверное, три дня готовила.
Alya: What a grand feast! Lena, you probably worked/cooked/prepared for three days.

Вася: Ребята, я бы хотел тост поднять за хозяйку дома.
Vasya: Guys/Folks/equiv., I'd like to toast/to raise a glass/to raise a toast [most literal, I think, less commonly used in English] to our hostess (of the home).

Алёша: Давай. Мы все слушаем!
Alyosha: Yes, do. We're listening!/Everyone's listening!

Вася: Друзья, я предлагаю выпить за Лену. За все годы нашего знакомства ты нам принесла столько счастья, столько добра. Лена, за тебя!
Vasya: Friends, I propose we/to drink to Lena. For many years your acquaintance/our knowing you/ all the years of our acquaintance has brought so much happiness, so much goodness.

Лена: Ой, Вася. Спасибо. Ты просто прелесть.
Lena: Oh, Vasya. Thank you. That was very sweet of you. [Book has this as 'how sweet of you!']

Алёша: Ребята! Уже без пяти двенадцать! Сейчас по телевизору будет новогоднее шоу.

Аля: Ребята! Давайте без телевизора! Поставьте музыку. Будем танцевать!
Alya: Guys! Let's leave/do without the television! Play music. Let's dance! Put on your red shoes and... ahem. Sorry. Bowie fixation.

4. Приглашаем к себе!
Рейчел: Настя, мы с Эллиотом хотели бы пригласить тебя на американский праздник. Ты когда-нибудь слышала о нашем Дне благодарения?
Rachel: We/me and Elliot would like to invite you to celebrate the American holiday. Have you heard anything about our Thanksgiving?

Настя: Что-то я слышала. Это, кажется, ваш национальный праздник? А я думала, что он 4-го июля.
Nastya: I have heard something. It is, it seems, a national holiday? And, I thought, on the 4th of July.

Рейчел: Нет, 4-ое июля - это День независимости. А День благодарения мы отмечаем в ноябре. Устраиваем большой обед.
Rachel: No, the 4th of July is Independence Day. Thanksgiving we celebrate in November. We arrange a big lunch. [... lunch?] feast. [Not lunch. See note in comment below about Russian meal terms as relates to American meal terms.]

Настя: Я с удовольствием приду. А когда это?
Nastya: I'd be happy to come. [More lit. I will go with pleasure.] When is it?

Рейчел: На этой неделе. В четверг. В половине шестого.
Rachel: This week. Thursday. At half-five.

Настя: Что принести?
Nastya: What [should I] bring?

Рейчел: Приносить ничего не надо. Мы всё сами. (приготовим is implied)
Rachel: You don't need to bring anything. We [will prepare] everything ourselves.

Настя: Договорились. До четверга.
All right/agreed. Till Thursday.

Yes, because running into a bumblebee is fun first thing in the morning. Get out of my walking path, bee.

Twenty. Five. Push-ups. Brainweasels can suck it. I did twenty five push-ups today, ten days ahead of schedule. Even if that translation took longer than expected. Not out of any real difficulty with anything except pushing words through my head, in any language. I'm fairly sure Spanish was trying to creep out there somehow. Maybe one day I'll just translate these straight into Spanish. ... No, Jag, we have enough to do, you are not translating these dialogues into Spanish right now.

I don't know what it is about my current exercise regime that's leaving me so sweaty, but good gods. And since over the past couple days I've been pushing myself harder, doing more sets of a couple different exercises, ow my limbs ache. (Battements and yoga poses, for those of you keeping track at home.) Mostly thighs, some ribs and abs, mostly thighs and arms, though. Still. Twenty five push-ups. I will have superheroic arms yet!

Here, have some Sucker Punch icons. Take, credit, adapt, credit for the base, blah blah. There's a few each of the Old Man, Sweet Pea, and Rocket, Amber in the Mecha, Baby Doll, a group shot, a few artsy shots. I decided I wanted Sucker Punch icons and ended up making a bunch of them. Oops. Not really oops. The coloring even worked out on most of them. Zach Snyder and his use of color and slow motion, I swear. There will probably be more coming. I also need to upload that bunch of Dan Shor icons.
