"Soul Jazz Quartet" is somewhat understandable since there probably isn't a Chinese equivalent term. I only focus on the instances where they deliberately substitute English words into sentences when there are Chinese equivalents.
Words such as: manager, expensive, bus, hair.
In essence, the sentence would sound something like, "Wang dang fang mang hair gang lang manager mang sang wang long dong."
oic, then I haven't seen much of that phenomenon on Asian TV, so it's not been bad. Are there really no words in Chinese for "soul", "jazz", and "quartet"? Maybe not all strung together as a concept, but individual words?
I miss cable TV in the US. When visiting Asian countries, the hotels only have 10-15 channels, and your choices in English are soccer coverage, CNN, BBC, and Discovery channel. I dearly miss Food Network, G4, Spike, TNT, FOX, and all the other ways to kill time on the boob tube.

There would be individual words, but they're so rarely used no one will understand you. You also have the problem of having different Chinese equivalents depending on location: Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland can vary. Examples are things like wireless router and server.

That's understandable since this is TV, and the intended audience probably doesn't speak English. This behavior is only prevalent among Chinese fobs who just moved away from the motherland and think that mixing English into their sentences makes them less fobby.
Irony at its best.
Or when foreign borns come back with half learned Chinese. It's not as bad though since they're not choosing to do it.
It's actually becoming more and more prevalent even in the young domestic demographic. In Hong Kong at least.

The big question here is, of course, that did it make you feel stronger since it didn't kill you?
nah....on the contrary, it made me feel more mortal, because i never injure myself and now I'm lucky I didn't damage any tendons.

Sounds painful. What were you doing?

Aww darn...
I fucking hate mosquitos.
Amen.
I hate those things so much, we should kill them all. Even if it means completely fucking up the ecosystem.

a month after the school year started, and after having four horrible nightmares about school, I'm back at a studying routine!
I'm going to take a higher level math test, before the SATa test and all other stuff.
but god-dammit, this shit is expensive, I never thought I'd have so much for something I got in Highschool for free.

community college my friend.... community college...
Do they have those in Israel ? I'm almost finished w\ my Associates degree but I have to drop a class i was planning on taking because there is no way i can do 3 classes at once while working fulltime and playing WoW on the side.
which means in the spring I will need to take 2 classes to complete my degree.
Bitching related to school :
Why do people post 'level 1' or 'entry level' or 'junior' job positions and then when you go and read the information on it they want a bachelors degree + 3-5 years experience... LOL i really hope if somebody has a 4 year degree and 5 years experience they're getting a higher paying job.
not in that level of academic studying yet, at least for now.
all I'm doing is taking highschool math again, it's 8 weekly hours, until 2009, it's not even admission exam for higher education.
I hope that the nightmares will stop, seriously. I need to get my shit together. I can't even set up an alarming clock without having a dream about not waking up for it.

Wow I've had dreams like that back when I was in school. Even when I thought about returning to school a couple years ago, I'd have dreams that I was skipping classes and failing them. I've also dreamed about turning off my alarm clock and being late for stuff. Hopefully I can get over any anxiety when I actually return to school in Fall 09.

Dreaming impossible dreams.

so...i went to go to lunch today like every day. Put the key in the ignition of my car ( 2005 honda civic ) and.... it wont turn. It wont turn back... forward... or come out. spent like 5-10 minutes messing w\ it... called honda, did a few things they suggested and nothing
got my coworker to help me some since he's experienced in honda service and he wasn't able to do anything. So now i'm waiting on the tow truck to come pick up my car and take it a whole 2-3 blocks to the honda dealership for $100-150.
Worst case scenario is going to have me paying lots and lots of money i'd rather not spend on my crappy car. a new key alone is $100
So i didn't get to goto lunch and had to resort to eating a vending machine cinnamon roll for sustinance.
upside to this is that i just got paid yesterday... downside is i already paid rent and the repairs might cost more then i got paid all together
