Little tidbit last night I got to get a pic with the olympic torch.

You live an exciting life. Hobnob with Marvel comic writers and relay the olympic torch.

sigh.

Any idea when the matches (minus our friggin' trainwreck) start?
I'm guessing as soon as teams send in their writeups. Since there is no hard deadline, that time is undetermined. I'm guessing another match or two will start tomorrow....maybe even tonight.

Cool, darling.
My life in last two weeks wasn't even a fraction of that coolness. End of semester university exams... today I had 3 friggin' final tests. Luckily got "pass" on all three, but have friggin' headache and the last thing I want to do now is debate about some bald black guy and sexy halfblood Italian in fishnets.

Oh I know what your going through, I literally just graduated and got my bachelor of science only a few months ago and now with it done I once again can have some free time so thats why I finally entered my first tourny.

I thought that the tourney starts after New Year or at least goes round robin format just like the last couple of 'em...anyways, I have pretty good memory and that helps a lot with the studies, but sometimes...that's just tiresome.
I'm in my last year...going to graduate in summer.

Translator\interpreter. Main languages- English and Italian (though my Italian sucks compared to my English and I work mostly with English\Russian translations and vise versa)...

I would move to Italy (short term), and absorb as much as possible. It really helps to assimilate another language, when you have no choice but express yourself with said language.

is it easy to find a job as a translator and can you make a good living doing that?

1. It depends on your experience, I have been "mixing" my studies and practical work since my 2nd year, so I have advantage compared to someone who's newby.
2. It depends on your qualification, but I'd say yes (though I still live with my parents so I don't have to pay rent on my own and that influences my views on subject a bit).

Also, wasn't Smurph\Blair classico to start today? I'm eager to read some good stuff...
And still have to feed my partner scans for him to write anything making sence.

Should be. Darth and I finished our write up, he's got to hand it in to Kahn sometime today.

I don't know about Smurph or Jake though. Smurphy hasnt been online as much as usual 😬

Hope they get their s**t together.

well for our part--our plan was ruled legal a few days ago, then today ruled ILLEGAL. so we need to revamp a few things. problem is--we based our draft on the strategy that was ok'd. now that the plan has been nixed, we've been ok'd to redraft one or 2 characters and we've been given til monday to do so. i don't think it will take that long--we've already come up with a couple possible new plans, but that's where WE stand. still no word from omega and JL anyway . . . sorry to all for the mix up, but we only went by what we were told was legal 😬

Hey Charlie, do you happen to know any good, relatively cheap manual to learn Russian? Current money won't allow taking courses so I better look for a book.

Hmm... no idea right now. Your native language is French I assume?

This site might be useful, I think. In fact, I was never interested in "Russian as foreign language" thing so I don't know anything better (as far as free courses go).

Them life like constructs is what makes Kyle so appealing. No real reason why he simply cant apply those constructs on himself.

In fact, if Gundam posts what I've send to him in terms of scans, the ruling of independent constructs illegal is fine with us (I assume fully controlled "puppet-types" are legal?).

Yep, I figured you may not be familiar with them, but since you studied something language related I thought it was worth the shot. Thanks anyways.
