Football yay!

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Greece: 0-4.

Yay! I'm so very happy! Three games, three wins in a row in the Euro 2008 Championship qualifications.

The game was not good, but we scored three goals in the last 12 minutes, which does miracles for one's mood :D

Now I'm updating while my screen has crashed and is on safe mode (*g*), but I don't want to restart yet because I'm downloading a Muñeca Brava episode. (Julie - I already watched the first one. Predictably, I had some trouble, though it wasn't completely uncomprehensible. The distracting but amusing thing was that it was subtitled... in Romanian *g*)

C.S.I. will be on in a while.

And, that's all from me for today.

See ya,
Anna.

Wow, Romanian? (g) I watched some of my Usurpadora tapes the other day and the subtitles were aggravating me because they were distracting me - my eyes are automatically drawn to the bottom of the screen - when I don't need them any more. But at least I can *read* them. (g)

By the way, thought you'd appreciate the following story ;) I used to record random episodes of telenovelas, right? So the channel that aired them would sometimes in between episodes, air music videos by Latin artists (Thalia, Natalia Oreiro, Marcelo Morelo - which is where I saw the video I was looking for for so long), and sometimes non-Latin artists. I have part of a music video recorded but the beginning is taped over, and the tape ends before the video ends, so I didn't know the name of the song or the artist for a looong time. And I was dying to find it in its complete form because it's such a catchy song! I loved it. Anyway, I couldn't even figure out what *language* it was in, let alone make out lyrics so I can Google.

When I was rewatching my old tapes a few days ago I saw that video and caught a key word I could Google. Found it by luck... It was a Greek song, To Kati by Keti Garbi. Downloaded it. Peace of mind after 6 years of wondering if I'll ever find it!!!

To Kati!!!! Oh, God! That was a good one, really catchy. (Means 'the something') It was a massive hit when it came out - around the time you watched it. Keti Garbi is a very successful artist over here.

Yep, Romanian. *g* I suspected it right away because it had obvious Latin roots yet had a sort of 'Eastern' look with the weird accents. So I Googled a couple of characteristic words, and voilà, they appeared in texts from Romanian sites *g*

See ya,
Anna.

Lol, well, Romanian should be good practice for you--you can read fics in Portuguese, now subtitles in Romanian! *g*

LOL, d'you think I'll learn to read Romanian via these subtitles? If so, it will be really, really weird. I've already learned some easy words/phrases *g*

See ya,
Anna.
