I’m actually working on writing my book. 😀
Anyone else on?

@rochellaine

I’d come any time but summer. Though I don’t know, winter is nasty where I live too. And basically autumn and spring are non-existent.

But you should come anyway. I’d love to meet you 🙂

@seekjustice @f5a8c3e92

And here I am in the middle of winter. 😛

Thankfully, I do have a working heater…

(My current dream vacation is Australia, so I can have warm weather when it’s cold at home.  I assume from your complaints about the heat that it’d be better to come in the fall/spring time, though? 😉 )

@f5a8c3e92

Ah, that sounds lovely 😀 We used to swim in our creek too, but the neighbours built a dam which blocked off the flow to the creek, so its now mostly dry.

Still working on forgiving them for that. 😛

@f5a8c3e92

Look, I’m trying super hard not to be jealous, but it really isn’t working 😛

We don’t have an air conditioner or anything, so our poor little fans are working themselves to death in an attempt to keep us cool.

@f5a8c3e92

Hello there! I’m kinda writing, but really just laying on the bed and being miserable because of the ridiculous heat. I might have asked before, but where abouts are you from? I live down near Canberra and its been so blinkin’ hot here lately.

Actually, I probably need to go now 🙁

@seekjustice Ah, I really wish I could write right now, but I’m leaving in a few for my brother’s basketball practice. 🙁

@f5a8c3e92

Dodgy is such a great word though. Basically everything can be described as dodgy. The Americans really don’t know what they’re missing out on.

@rochellaine

Mary Poppins, as in the actual book, was written by an Australian though. I wonder if Bert describes himself as a bloke in that 😛

By the way, I’m working on my editing at the…[Read more]

@f5a8c3e92

Yeah, I can explain. 😛  As you can see, my sister actually was thinking of it because of Mary Poppins, which is definitely British, not Australian. (Though it was written by Americans.  But it’s set in England.  I’m also assuming you know what Mary Poppins is… 😉 ) So, she was thinking of “bloke” as related to British slang.

I th…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yep.

Only German. Even if I’m not entirely sure about the words, I tend to be able to work it out through context.

I’m not sure what tips to give you really. What I like to do in those situations is try it for myself for a while, like trying to do everything one handed. Also, for Bathshua she would pretty quickly learn how to cope,…[Read more]

@alia Ah yes, thank you very much!

@jenwriter17 Eyy! Thank you!

@seekjustice

Sort of like the Brigadoon clips we were watching back when I first told you about it, I guess?  Ah, I see. 😛 I guess that would be less funny.

Oh, okay.  How many languages are you able to read/hear with reasonable clarity?

Great, well, I’ll give it a listen sometime and let you know if I find it as depressing as you do. :…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Well, they were like highlights, so not really any full songs but still cool. Oh, the Koreans were singing in Korean 😛 I’m fairly certain it was the Korean production anyway, but it might have been Japanese, I’m not sure.

The only French musical I’ve listened to is the original Les Mis recording, other than that, not really.

Yeah,…[Read more]

@seekjustice

😛

Oh, I see.  I do like watching backstage videos, or “the making of ____” videos. 😉 I find it quite hard to listen to Koreans try to sing in English without laughing, though.

It would have to be that one for me, because I would have no way of understanding the French version. 😛  (Do you listen to any French musicals?  I know yo…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Yes, I was thinking of that line as soon as you said Mary Poppins 😛

No it isn’t, I was watching promotional videos, but some of them were half an hour long. And I was watching some clips from the concert recording and some Korean clips as well.

I’ve listened to the Disney Broadway version, if that’s what you mean?

@seekjustice

She says she actually had the word in her head because our littlest sister is crazy about Mary Poppins and has been playing the soundtrack nonstop for weeks now.  In “Chim Chim Cher-ee” a lyric goes “In this whole wide world there’s no happier bloke.”  But I guess my brother thought of Australia first, even though the British use t…[Read more]

@Rochellaine

Bloke is a good word, isn’t it Rochellaine’s sister?

We mostly watch DVDs because of rural internet download, but the other day, when I was watching ATOTC I was on Youtube because it was the last day of the plan and we still had a good amount of internet left and I was trying to use it up. I don’t get to do that a whole lot…[Read more]

@seekjustice Are all the musicals that you watch on DVDs?  You said you were watching ATOTC the other day, and I assumed you were watching it online for some reason.  Probably because my brother usually finds most of the stuff we watch on Amazon Prime or Netflix or something like that, because it’s cheaper, so I’m more used to it than DVDs n…[Read more]

@seekjustice I found it on Netflix. 🙂  I liked it very much.  I think I liked Jeremy Jordan better as Jack than whoever played him at the live version I saw, but I liked the other Crutchie better than the Broadway Crutchie.  So I guess it was about even: I liked some parts of this one better, and some parts of the other one better.  They did a r…[Read more]
