Hanging out with sis

My little sister FlowerMoonFish arrived in the US yesterday...Steve and I went to pick her up at O'Hare. She'll be starting college at Williams in Massachusetts this fall, and I could strangle the bloody kid 'cos I'm jealous she's going to a school that has enough money to give its internationals a free roundtrip ticket home every year.

At the moment we're just hanging out in my apartment with Lina. Just finished reading about the Backstroke of the West, which is a movie about why you shouldn't back-translate subtitles from one language into the original. (Some guy bought a pirated DVD of Revenge of the Sith, the kind that was videotaped by someone in the cinema. The English subs on the DVD had been back-translated from the original Chinese subs!)

(So thaaaaat's where the "DO NOT WANT!" thing came from.)

Also, FMF says of the second commenter, "I bet it's a Malaysian." Go us! _{(If any S'poreans are reading this pls don't kill me.)}

We were out all afternoon and I'd let the cat out when we left so she was covered in burrs as usual. FMF was petting her and thought she'd found another one:

FMF: This burr's not coming out. Wait, it's not a burr!
me: Lemme see?
[small pink thing surrounded by 1cm patch of bare skin]
me: Darling, this cat is a girl. That is a nipple.
FMF: Oh, sorry cat!
