I have the best project supervisor. I can literally say "I've done nothing" and he'll just be like "Oh, ok"
And it's not like he just doesn't care, he's just a really nice guy. I have never seen him get annoyed at anyone.

That's hilarious, haha.

Bluh...bored.
Might head out to V Revolution, this record shop a couple of my friends started up. I kind of want to keep my money though.

Why yes it is. It also needs more support. It's on steam now.
Eh, the usual.

coffee kij.men
...ooh, "bitter tears" is "a-gig". This might come in handy somewhere on GAF in the future.
edit, sad story of the day: The Sumerians have no native word for coffee and apparently none for tea, either, despite their relative proximity to tea-land. So the entire civilization somehow managed to survive so many centuries without caffeine.
today morning good is.it → "Good morning!"

I have always had to balance multiple forums and work but luckily that's part of my job. I understand why you would not be able to be as active. Best wishes. Just check in every now and again so we know you are still around.
just substitute reddit with GAF:
For the most part there isn't much of a "you all" anymore. Just a few stragglers from the original thread. We usually hang out in the TC / IRC. Hope you have been well.
I've been hearing that my entire life
Once I start working again (shouldn't be too long from now), I won't be on here as much either. Lately, I've just had a lot of spare time.

I use my brain's natural ADD powers to manage my GAF-time and my productive time. I'm sure you'll somehow work out a way to keep yourself helpful to those around you while still able to pursue your joys in life.

GAF.a sar.men
Alternately: GAF.a sar.menden
WOOHOO!
My new servers -- a 48 core number crunching bad-ass machine and a 24TB data storage dude -- are in the loading bay. In a couple hours, they get delivered down here to the research wing. Then the only thing preventing me from going full throttle is that the A/C guys have dragged their heels for months on upgrading the cooling in our tiny server room.
GAF.on write.I → "I write on GAF". Interestingly, the verb for "to write" is the same as the verb for "to disturb someone", which fits perfectly with the current Internet culture.
Alternately: GAF.a sar.menden
← "We write on GAF". Isn't it a little interesting how the locative suffix is the same as it is in languages like Spanish (though it's more like a prefix there ... "Voy a mi baño", and so forth)? There are even a few less simple examples of actual cognates between this millenia-dead lingo and current romance languages.

Uh, I'm still learning hiragana. Let me get back to you on that.
Japanese, you are not sure?
Ok, I got a bit of this one.
I wanted to read Japanese when I believed that Ninokuni (PS3) hadn't a snowball's chance of coming here. I subscribed to this mail letter that teaches you a new word each day, but just the romanji part of it. I tried learning all of the other shit, but it seemed almost insurmountable so I just gave up. I need to try it again.

"I do not understand Japanese".
Beyond that sentence and a few random words, I think all I can recall is "resutoran ni ikimasu".
...or, in the older lingo I'm playing with: kar.a du.men
marketplace.to go.I
RawPower, it seems best to get a handle on the grammar before you start memorizing the vocabulary. Once you have that in place, it's easier to start gaining words, because you can put them into meaningful sentences right away.

*thumbs up*
Just remember that you are the most metal of all. With that, you can overcome anything.
Also:
Luke.e engar didi i.am
pa.ani nam-en gul i.am
adamen tuku.me
an gul.e an zid tud.am
Luke is a farm boy
His father is an evil priest/lord
They have a fight
The evil man is reborn as the righteous man
His father is an evil priest/lord
They have a fight
The evil man is reborn as the righteous man
This is fun; I hope it does not annoy people with all the weird characters and barcode spoiler blockage

I hope I gave you enough hair.
This thread is giving me opportunity to practice working with layers-oriented graphic editors. I would have done very little of this otherwise.
Also:
an.a lu.e
mu.ani Kirk i.me.am
ge.e.e e-ne kam.me
túg-bir-ra.ani dug
A man is in the sky
His name is Kirk
Many girls love him
They like his torn clothing
His name is Kirk
Many girls love him
They like his torn clothing
edit: Argggg, the Sumerian Lexicon doesn't have the verbs "can" or even the words "able" or "capable"! This pretty much throws a wrench in my attempt to translate the theme to "Firefly".

It corresponds with my mood.

The girls are missing. No point in posting when the girls are gone. I'm just teabagging with translations of modern plots and lyrics to a seven thousand year old language.
Anyway:
ate.ĝu dab.men
Take my love,
Take my land,
Take me to a place where I don't stand
That last line is too literal a translation. I probably should just go for "take me to a terrible place". edit: plus, I have no idea if my attempt to recursively insert a sentence inside a sentence is legal in this language!

Dead inside.
I'm overreacting, just having an shitty meh-day. Melting grey snow on the streets, nothing on tv, not in the mood for anything etc
