It's always best to make sure you know what someone's writing when it's a language - and characters - you don't know. Someone I knew in college told of his mother redecorating their living room. Her prize ornaments were a pair of lamps with silk shades and Chinese characters on them. At least they were her favorites until someone who read Chinese came to visit. The lovely (and expensive) shades read "arrogant rich".
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds about right.

And I just came across this page that shows people have trouble with tattoos in languages they do speak, as well. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I shouldn't be amused that apparently my mother is lying to my sister and threatening to seek assistance in escaping from her nagging. But I am.
I really really tried to make it out of the house this morning. But I feel like crap still. Working from home in the morning, and then going in for a vendor visit in the afternoon. I hope. I...just feel disgusting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The pilot was kind of baffling, but DH has seen the first few eps and he really liked it.
(Not that the pilot wasn't good, I just had no idea how they would turn it into an ongoing series.)

Is that on tonight?
At first I thought that they were advertising for another reality tv singing contest.
