When I was actually happy about accidentally deleting some Italian sentences in my TAC log Saturday night because retyping those sentences meant I got to spend more time focusing on Italian.

Stay safe, meramarina – I'm hearing some scary news from over there. Of course I hope all your language materials emerge unscathed, but the most important part is to keep yourself safe, first and foremost. As you say, even nerds have to be sensible. :) And to anyone else in Sandy's path, please be cautious and careful, take care of yourself and heed official warnings!

... when you're at the gym and this song in a foreign language starts playing at the radio, and you immediately stop working out to identify the language. I knew it was scandinavian. I started asking around until everyone (~4 guys) stopped working out and were just trying to identify the song. Someone with an iPhone app saved us.
Turns out I was right, it was a Danish song (: 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

When I wanted to check Danish verb conjugations using Verbix and accidentally type verlix.com instead and am thrilled when I see that verlix.com is actually a WordPress blog written in Japanese. I also know I am a language nerd when I am certain that verlix is a Japanese language blog because I recognize both kanji and kana characters even though I dont know Japanese.

When you enter a new bookstore, hit wall-to-wall manga (each book marked up as $1) and shout "素晴らしい!" in utter joy.

when the first you you do when your power and Internet is restored after being out for three days because of Hurricane Sandy is to check this thread...well, more honestly, when it is among the first things you do, but you wish it was the first.
